The Caffeine Laboratory - Christchurch

Great eating, cozy atmosphere. our server was fast and friendly. when we were paying at the end, he even gave us a quick taste test how different barrels can change the taste of their gin. I was really impressed! what a fun to finish at night. highly recommended.

The best and tasty eating service is exceptional and great ambiente highly recommended

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Servings were generous, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The owner/manager was so obviously passionate about what he was doing it was reflected in the friendly service and attention we received from all staff. While not a cheap and cheerful restaurant we felt the menu represented good value for money. The venue was tastefully done and comfortable. We would highly recommend you go.

Spent our date night here, first time here and it was a Saturday night not to late, was a great place for an intimate dinner, wasn’t loud, great service and personal with the waiters which was nice. Also no crowed. Entrée we had the charcoal coated prawns and chorizo, this was really delicious the sauce was amazing.. wanted more also the chicken liver pâté because I love pâté and it was creamy and smooth like moose loved it. Mains were great too a little small on the lamb portion I thought. However ! It would of be nice to have been advised by service that there was a Latin dance thing on that night, in advance. We were enjoying a beautiful romantic dinner then all of a sudden flocks of couples arrived, loud Latin music started the floor was cleared of tables and a dance off began which changed the tune of our evening immediatly I was not happy. We didn’t stay any longer to soak up our evening.

So the positive things are nice enviroment, food LOOKS nice, and cute waiters. The negative things are little amount of food, all the meat are dry and cold, just not very tasty, also very expensive for what the results are, and we waited for 40 mins when its not even that busy.
