Intimate and original dinner

We really enjoyed our dinner at TBT. Food was nice and quick to come, staff was friendly. The tables are always hidden which is nice, however that caused that we didn't have a good communication with the waiter. Tipp, you should ALWAYS bring a spoon to the table when people are having pasta! And salt was also needed...

Wow the food is amazing

I have past the 'Bicycle Thief' sign posted heading out of halswell to the peninsular over the past 5 years and often thought 'i must visit sometime'. I only wish i had of sooner. Quaint venue and only 5 minutes from Halswell. The quality and taste matched the presentation of the meals and dessert. Layers of flavour. thank you.

Good food, bad setting

Myself and my partner arrived at the bicycle thief looking forward to the ambiance as much as the food. Much to our dismay we were immediately ushered to some sort of tent out back beside the toilets. There was a birthday party booked and anyone not involved went to the tent, ourselves and our fellow diners were less than impressed as nobody was informed, until they arrived at the venue, of the situation. As we endured the ice cold draft running through the tent, the girls serving the tables did their best given the pressure they were under. We had the bruschetta, carbonara, pizza and tiramisu and it must be said the food was very good and we would probably return on that basis alone but 3 Stars for overall experience

Hi Roscoet, thanks for your review. Yes, we had a huge, corporate Christmas party that evening as it is the season where everyone is booking their parties with us. You were seated in our Villa San Michelle marquee which is one of our popular venues for functions. The party had already booked out our entire restaurant. I am sorry if the experience was less than you expected and I can assure you that you would usually be seated inside our restaurant (or outside in our Italian Riviera garden if the weather is warm). I am pleased that you liked our food and do hope that you visit again so you can experience our restaurant itself.
