A restaurant-bar that does more than one thing is easiest to use by matching the visit to the time of day: daytime for brunch or lunch, evening for dinner and cocktails. Chef-driven menus built on seasonal ingredients can change often, so ask what is new and what the kitchen does best. If you are planning a celebration or work function, enquire early about the function room, seating plans and menus, as popular dates book out. Dessert is often worth saving room for.
For a meal, a cocktail or an event in the middle of Whanganui, Stellar is a central option.
