The hare croquettes were decent, and the gin &amp; tonic tart made a good finish. Portions are generous, service pretty attentive without hovering. Solid spot in Te Anau, though nothing about it really blew me away. Fine for a casual dinner if you&#39;re in the area.

The venison hotpot was solid&mdash;rich flavor, and the creamed potatoes paired well. Gravy got a bit heavy by the end though. A side of greens would&#39;ve helped balance it.
