Frommer's Review
Intimate, tiny, and luxurious are words that spring to mind when you think of chef Rex Morgan's culinary haven. Booked out weeks in advance, it takes you on a taste extravaganza with a fixed-price menu or the pricier nine-course degustation menu with little refreshers tucked between courses. Visitors might like to try New Zealand venison on a Brussels sprout purée with Maori potato ravioli and honeyed horopito (fern shoots). Whatever you settle on, you'll leave satisfied and impressed.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
