Kingi

First time at Kingi. We had the taste of kingi set menu. My favorite dish was the flounder. Overall most of the seafood dishes were done well. My least favorite was the venison neck. I found the meat a bit dry and tough (cooking this part of the animal is probably quite challenging). Another little feedback I have is that perhaps the staff can be trained to explain the composition of each dish a bit better considering this is a tasting menu. I think I will be back again but will probably stick to their seafood next time.

We’ve been wanting to dine at a restaurant that served good seafood and celebrated New Zealand ingredients and Kingi met the brief. The food was amazing and exactly what we were looking for. They looked after us well. Love the way it’s set up especially the chandelier. We had the kina on toast, trevally oka, flounder,the Wakame tagliatelle and the miann chocolate mousse. I would buy a tub of that oka if I could. Chocolate mousse was decadent. Absolutely loved all the food. Two notes. A little light outside above the sign on the wall that says kingi would be great , (was hard to see in the dark) Please serve the flounder on a bigger plate so it’s easier to flip 😁.
