Awesome vibe and great service, honestly stand out for the rapa. Seriously rate the food as well! Will definitely be back, thanks guys :)
Magnificent ceaser chicken burger! Friendly communicative staff member and super service. Thanks for a lovely lunch experience.
Nice place with good variety of wines, tapas and mains. Has a cool little bar out front with friendly service. We had a reasonably lengthy wait for our mains on a busy night but food was really nice and all in all would recommend
Slow slow service. Which is a good thing. Means you have time for a pint of every tap beer before your food turns up. Tuatara beer. It’s worth trying all four because it’s great beer. Your surf and turf will be just fantastic. I’ve had two over the summer both have been perfect. Big fat prawns a juicy steak. The place is nice the people are nice Martinborough is nice. Slow slow service is perfect, believe me.

The selection of open restaurants in Martinborough at 8pm is limited. But that doesn't mean a good experience is out of the question. My friend and I stumbled upon Cool Change as we were walking around the silents streets of Martinborough at night. What we discovered was a great evening out.
We were not sold on the limited menu but the staff seemed friendly, so we took the chance.
Friendly staff was an understatement. We couldn't decide on a pinot noir so the waitress suggested we sample a selection of local options. She never rushed us and was happy to serve 2 glasses of our chosen wine.
The food was equally as impressive. The pork terrine was devine but the apple jelly that accompanied it made the dish go from good to great. Not a diet dish, but a cheat day treat anytime.
The pork belly lacked a crackled skin but was cooked to perfection. I can forgive this minor error as the flavours in the dish were heavenly. Though I may have used the crackling crumb from the terrine to lift the texture of the dish. The accompanying sides were good but lacked imagination. It was essentially meat and three vege on a plate.
No dessert for me, but still on overall great dining experience.
Warm and accomodating service, particularly given the late hour. The food was well flavoured, and there is a wide selection available. Definitely worth a detour on a long drive.
This is place is amazing! The food here is so, so good and they have an impressive wine list. We ordered the charred bread, dips and warm olives to begin. Yum! What is it about charred food that is just so damn good? It tasted glorious with the good quality olive oil and flavoursome dips. The warm olives were divine. For main we both had the steak. It wasn’t the best steak I have ever had but it was very good. The accompaniments were delicious, especially the onion rings. Would have loved a bit more hollandaise though, I can never get enough hollandaise! We passed on dessert but where given 2 giant jaffas with the bill, a cute touch. The service was excellent.
On account of another restaurant we had a booking being closed, we popped into Cool Change for an evening meal. The bar area was very busy, but that's to be expected on a balmy Saturday evening.
The meals were reasonably priced but not a huge selection. They were tasty and generous portions, and the restaurant on the whole had a good atmosphere
It seems to be popular with the locals as well; filling with chatter and laughter as they drop by after work for a wind-down tipple before heading home.
Superb evening. Went on the Mexican night. (Every Thursday) $25 a head for a 3 course Mexican meal. Received a warm welcome. Food and atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this eatery to all. I had read earlier reviews about this restaurant and wanted to see for our self's what is was like and found it to be a fantastic place to eat and will certainly be booking our next meal out there very soon.
We dined at Cool Change a couple of weeks ago - for the fourth time - and once again enjoyed an excellent meal. The food was well presented and delicious. We'll be back!
Chose Cool Change after reading restaurant reviews. Had a special weekend planned for my SO and CC delivered.
Food was excellent, the prawn cocktail had a novel twist and the rib eye steak was done exactly to my request (the rare side of medium rare). Her lamb shank was superb, and I'm not normally a lamb fan. We drank wine by the glass to optimise food/wine matches. I ordered my red to accompany the rib eye just as the food arrived; the wine arrived about 30 seconds later. The two very attractive (female) wait persons couldn't be faulted. There were only the two of them to service a fully booked restaurant so full marks to the chef who delivered plates to the tables when they were busy. We will be back!
