    Sevines has never failed to disappoint, the food is always amazing and promptly served, check backs are done without being invasive of your personal space. The staff could give many other restaurants a lesson in service. Can not fault them. Only marked slightly lower for noise because it does get noisy however its always a good sign that everyone is having a good time! Highly recommended

    We had an excellent meal here. We had the sole which was cooked beautifully. We really couldn't fault it. Matched with the NZ sauvignon it was a memorable meal. It's great that there's a restaurant cooking great fish dishes. The staff were very friendly and knew their menu. We'll definitely come back.
