Faultless! The owners have created a world class restaurant at Bistronomy. The food, drinks, service, atmosphere and pace were all perfect. A unique restaurant not to be missed when in Napier.

Bravo!

Had the degustation tasting menu with my gf, they were very accomodating as she had the vegetarian and I had the meat version. Food was incredibly thought it and a pleasant surprise with each course. We did the wine pairing and were blown away by some of the wine choices. Highly recommend the experience.

Had dinner here tonight with my husband. Absolutely beautiful food and wine. Every bit of the menu was well thought out and balanced. Husband loved the six course option. Will definitely be back when we are in town.

My wife and I just experienced the full degustation and wine pairing experience here.
There are few words that adequately describe the experience.
Outstanding, exquisite, sublime don’t quite do it justice.
From the moment we walked through the door till when we left, the lovely Swiss Australian girl and handsome French African gentleman treated us like royalty.
Every dish was carefully introduced and its complimentary wine, loving described.
Each dish, so perfectly presented and with flavours, so well balanced and complimentary.it was difficult to eat without making audible noises of pure satisfaction.
Gordon Ramsey who? This chef, is unparalleled.
A genuine artist and artisan. Sir, you blew us away with every course.
This experience may have cost a small fortune, but every cent was well worth it.
A rare pleasure that will not be quickly forgotten.
We thank you.

Service, food, atmosphere and drinks are absolutely outstanding! We had the set menu of 6 courses + a Devine dessert, it was more than impressive. The service was immaculate, and delicate, with woman served first and men right after, every meal was bought out at the same time and staff happily described the origin and flavours of every meal. If you are looking for large quantities this isn’t the place for you, however if your looking to try European style cuisine at the best quality in Napier, this place is a must try!

We had a delicious meal here with family. Each course of the tasting menu was individually wonderful and the staff were polite courteous and helpful. The vegetarian option was wonderful. Potentially one of my favourite degustation meals in NZ so far, beating top Auckland restaurants. I’ll have to come visit more often:)

Thank you for your care and help when our family member had a medical emergency. We appreciated the calm support. All is well with us, and we are (and were) all Covid negative:)

We wanted to like this place, but sadly we would not go back. The place was pretty empty when we showed up and there were easily 20 tables available. We had to sit and wait over 10 mins for them to set our table. The food was ok, but seemed to lack seasoning over all. Plus the prices were very high for the sizes especially what were considered mains but were appetizer size. The wines list is very over priced with charging over $20+ a glass for a $38 bottle.
I felt bad because there was only one chef in the kitchen and no one else, not even a dish washer. Only 2 staff total on the floor, which I am sure is a reflection of COVID red status at the moment. The staff were very nice but moved with a lackadaisical vibe.

Lovely space, fabulous range of wines but nicest of all the best service - really knowledgeable, passionate and not at all pushy. Thanks

Nice meal and great service. Thought it quite expensive. Was concerned that no service staff were wearing masks.

Really disappointing this evening. After being here a few times and bringing my friends down from Auckland to have the wonderful experience I have had in the past it’s left me wondering if I will be back. We had made a booking for 4 and once we arrived we had to wait for two staff members to seat us only to be at a table set for 3. The Waiter made us feel out of place and if as we had inconvenienced them by being there. Reluctant to stay after being embarrassed infront of other patrons we stayed to see if the experience would get better. Think there is a lesson in not judging a book by the cover. Hoping that next time I choose to dine here the experience will be back at the standard I’ve been used to and know it can be.

The food was really nice, you can see the details and dedication in each course. I am giving 5 stars not just for the food Also for the great service, the French waitress made our experience 100% worth it. Was the first time in Hawke's Bay that the waitress took the time to suggest the menu and gave us some recommendation. Highly recommend for an intimate dinner.

A truly memorable evening! Fantastic staff, thank you Jacob, Dean & Abraham. The food was first class and the wine recommendation from Jacob was inspired! We'll be back for sure

A surprise. Fine dining with all the trimmings you would expect. We all had the chef’s selection as a blind degustation and each course was a taste and smell sensation. You can’t go wrong. The wine menu was exceptional, but more exceptional was the intimate knowledge of not only the wine but the vintner’s secrets to success. Wines clearly sourced through appreciation and understanding of the craft.

A good friend and I went to this place. Absolutely delicious. The starter of the chicken liver pâté with tamarillo in a doughnut was the real stand out. We will be back again for sure some day!

An absolutely wonderful dining experience. Food, and the presentation of it, was excellent. Customer service first class.
Led by Owner/Chef Jason, along with Maitre'd Abraham and Waiter Dean, it was a fantastic evening. Thank you everyone.

After some initial concerns re the menu I was pleased with the outcome. Our meals were adapted to accommodate our keto diet.
