There’s one thing that’s sure to bring a cheer to a diner and that is stepping in to a spotlessly clean new restaurant. When you are then lucky enough to find good food and prompt, friendly service it follows that your day will be the better for it!
Lunch at @Tonys new Teppan Yaki Japanese restaurant in Ferrymead is sure to please. Notwithstanding the brevity of the lunch menu you can order from the dinner menu also which gives you a few additional options. Our waitress was very helpful and nothing was a problem.
At the outset it seemed to the three of us that we may have ‘over ordered’ but the quantity and variety of dishes that eventually came to our table were entirely adequate. The beef and venison tataki was alluringly presented on a large plate and the gentle, bite-sized slices of meat were succulent and full of flavour. Whilst we may have opted for one too many deep fried choices, the prawn tempura, Tori-Katsu and Agedashi Tofu each offered a balance to the table when offset with the twenty-four pieces of assorted sashimi with rice and, of course, the ubiquitous bowls of miso. With a glass of wine each and tall glasses of cold Canterbury water we felt well served, well treated and certainly well fed by the time we paid the $102.00 bill and headed back to town.
I am a fan of Japanese food and with the loss of so many inner city restaurants it isn’t easy to find a Japanese restaurant open let alone find a free table. Even more reason to make sure you avail yourself of the hospitality at @Tonys in Ferrymead.
