Butterfish And Cafe - Russell

I had high expectations as people had recommended it but we were slightly disappointed. Unfriendly welcome by the waitress, uncomfortable wait at the counter to order and food quality just below promised. Thai curry rolls too spicy for our taste, french fries not enough colour and therefore not crunchy but chewy. Fish was good and salad delicious. Would I go again? Probably not as the prices didn't reflect the quality. Pity though, as it's situated at a beautiful spot and could've been perfect. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: NZ$40–50
