Ordered the lamb and a pizza, above average but not amazing. A safe choice for a dinner leaning towards the fancier side.

Aside from the background music that was quite loud, everything else was perfect from the venison to pork belly to pork ribs to fish to pizza and platters. The place is big enough to host parties. The staff were very good at looking after the customers.

Went in there for desert with the girls. Awesome service and the deserts were delicious. Would definitely recommend the dessert platter.

Stopped in for a late drink on Tuesday evening at about 9. The place was humming. They have a $7 cocktail menu. My cocktail wasn't award winning, but it was perfectly drinkable. Lovely atmosphere, warm and toasty and certainly the place to be in Hamilton on a Tuesday evening. Service felt very slow for drinks only, but I think they were probably unexpectedly under the pump.

Friendly, welcoming staff with good recommendations for food. The sharing platter is AMAZING! Check out the specials for each day - the chicken wings are also delectable! Cosy ambience, prompt service, reasonably priced.

Went there for Lunch on a Monday, first ever visit to ths place, really friendly staff and fast service from the kitchen. Online booking was a handy tool. Good selections from menu, plus kids menu.watch out for daily specials, Monday Pizza, Tuesday etc.excellent value for money, good serving size and lots of tables inside. Good interior ambience. Ample on street parking which are free for first 2 hours. Highly recomended for a visit.

First time back for 10 yrs. Very friendly professional staff. Beers on the pricey side. Reasonable menu selection at fair prices. Can book a table on line which I found easy and convenient.

Obnoxious wait time on drinks.
Overpriced.
Food did not live up to the price.mine was delivered warm. Partners pizza was comparable to a frozen supermarket pizza. Realised next day I was also overcharged.staff were friendly that's about the only good point.

Had a couple of platters out in the garden bar they were extremely disappointing and the tap beer Heineken beer for a glass over priced, I didn't enjoy the experience at all.

My husband, child and I decided to come here for a lil dinner outing.

We ordered:
- Iguana Experience (share platter, mixed grill platter, dessert platter)
- kids fish, chips and salad meal

We arrived just after 5pm when it was quieter so we had the benefit of quick service. Polite welcome and offered a table near the fire, woo!

Share platter was awesome, looked good enough to blog! I highly recommend their chicken wings! The ribs were amaze, meat just fell off the bone. We ate everything and only had a bit of the house sauces left.

Mixed platter, phwoar. Asked for medium rare sirloin, got medium rare sirloin. The fish was cooked just right with a lil crispy skin. The chicken was well cooked and was perfect with the amazing smoked kumara puree, wow I'd order that puree anyday!

Veges and salads for both platters helped switch up the eating and were refreshing to eat, with balsamic dressing.

Dessert platter topped off the whole experience with a brownie, a strawberry cheesecake, a coffee flavoured panna cotta, vanilla ice cream scoop, French vanilla ice cream scoop, and cookies and cream ice cream scoop. There was also a side of whipped cream and a lil pink wafer. This is definitely for those who love to indulge their sweet tooth I tell ya!

My child smashed back their kids meal, which came with a dessert, and they choose a chocolate Sunday.

We were checked in on plenty of times while we enjoyed our meals, our table was cleared promptly and we felt well taken care of by the waiters and waitresses that served us.

Decent servings, great service, pricing range well worth the food in our experience. We had to walk to the kitchen and say thank you personally.

They have goody membership, and are also in the Entertainment Book for those who want to experience what we did with a bit of savings.

Thanks Iguana, happy to return in future.

My daughter Joy brought me there with others for my 60th birthday tea. As there was five of us we were placed at one of your round seated tables even though the staff member could see i had a walking disability. We waited ages for a waiter and when she did come and take our drink order couldn't answer my brothers question. Then we waited ages for our meal. Then we waited ages again and gave up and paid and left. When my daughter booked it she told the staff member it was dor my 60th birthday and was told I would get a birthday Brownie, which never happened and when we arrived reminded the staff that it was for my 60th bday and it was as though she didn't care about it. Did not enjoy myself there one bit.

Service was really really friendly. You know there is a need for training as waiter didnt know drinks menu and gin and tonic came with no lemon and a slither if ice. We turned the large greek pizza vegan and it was so good and more than enough for 2.

Great customer service and delicious food. They did give me the wrong order but immediately fixed it and gave me a new one. They were very kind and overall have a positive vibe. Definitely recommend this place and I will be back for there food again. It was a great place to have a family lunch. My family and I are very pleased with the service.

Presentation of the food could be better and service needs to be better, had to go up to the bar each time we wanted to order something. Poor service

Took absolutely ages to get any service and when we did it took even more time to get our actual food. Had several waiters felt like there was no table allocation at all. Stuffed up myself and my partners' orders. Could you please put TP in the ladies' toilets partner and friend went and couldn't even go! Also interesting choice of music? Something I'd find in a club rather than a well established restaurant that I've heard many great things about. Poor poor performance.

Thank you for this evening. We came for my nephews birthday. We ordered the platters for two. Soooo good. Make sure you are hungry because there is so much to choose from. Entrees, mains and desserts were awesome. Thank you Jade for being such a lovely host. You rock

Nom nom nom. Can't believe I've lived in Hamilton so long without dining here. Huge tumbs up. Food was great (only critisizm was the green beans were undercooked or they were supposed to be raw, I forgot to ask). A good variety of set daily specials too. Awesome.
