Our kids aren’t that fussy, but!, I’ve never heard them tell us that they enjoyed a meal so much before, not just once but 3 times during our meal. The menu is well priced, portions are good and was really enjoyed by all. Just wish we got some extra kebabs added on. (Next time) thank you for having us, your staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. See you again soon., Karl Fisher, 7 months ago > We were greeted by the friendliest staff and immediately felt the relaxed, casual vibe. The food arrived promptly, the portions were generous, and the grills were delicious. The chairs were a little uncomfortable, but that was more than made up for by the attentive service and great food., Kwee Yum Lee (이귀염), 6 months ago > We had an amazing dining experience at Costas Taverna in Christchurch. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Everything about the evening exceeded our expectations. Our waiter was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel looked after throughout the night. The service was incredible from start to finish, with every member of the team being professional and welcoming. It's clear that customer experience is a real priority here. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavour.
