Fantastic meal, the snapper was melt in the mouth, great cocktail bar, chocolate martini a must try, music perfect and staff very friendly, can’t wait to go again
Without a doubt the best place in Taranaki! Food is divine, service is paramount and everyone is fabulous, friendly and fun! Put this on your list of 'must do' places for wining and dining <3
We came here for an early dinner. Service was polite, and the food arrived extremely quickly. The eye fillet and duck were perfectly cooked, and the dishes were very delicious. Would highly recommend the banoffee pie cocktail if you've got a sweet tooth.
A very good experience. The service was warm and friendly, if missing some of the detail I'd expect for a restaurant of this standing - in fairness, it was a busy night with a large group present.
Ponder brothers from Table Restaurant at Nice Boutique Hotel - celebrity team that Taranaki should be proud to have. Their cooking is refined, precise and inventive. Using techniques from the most popular international chefs, they deliver unforgettable experience, where food is an object of lust, status and imagination. Ceviche with citrus pearls resembled black caviar was a very elegant taster. Lasagna with kawakawa leaves demonstrated what real fusion kiwi cuisine is. Lamb ragout melted in the mouth like a dew drop on sunny morning. The owner Terry Parkes came for a chat and it was nice.
Awesome place in the Central hub of N.P with a outside dining and garden experience like no other.With a huge outside heating for those days when u might feel a bit chilly the smells coming from the kitchen full the air a great ambience and fine art inside .
Top marks to the great food and friendly staff... 5 out a 5

Refined, inventive, precise - incredible menu by incredible chefs - Freddie and Richard Ponder.
Nice fine dining in a boutique hotel. Cozy atmosphere and so peaceful, even though in middle of town. Parking should not be an issue. Very prepared meals. Although Auckland prices. Well stocked bar. The 3 dessert options were not my types. All in all, a good place to celebrate an occasion.
we tried 3 mains and all of them were soooooo good!
Hubby booked this as a birthday surprise. We stayed in the St Mary's room which was a delight, very comfy bed, beautiful room and loved it. We also dined in the restaurant. The starters were delicious, we had the prawns and cauliflower. Mains was steak for the hubby which he enjoyed but sadly my crispy pork belly was sadly lacking...was gelatinous not crispy hardly any meat on it all rubbery fat.....and the orange smear of kumara all round the bowl didn't do it any favors. Couldn't fault the service, which was exceptional
Very good friendly service. Delicious creative food. Excellent wine matches.
We ordered a 4 course tasting menu dinner. Every meal was a surprise and a small portion of each. It was amazingly tasty,well presented and well timed between each course. But may not recommended if you are hungry and want a full dinner with dessert. It is really tasting only. Wonderful evening and atmosphere.
