Moo Bar & Grill

Two restaurant reviews in one week named after animal noises (see our review of Bar Bar Black Sheep at Robertson Quay)? In this case, sheep beats cow. At first glance, Moo’s a nice enough space; the set-up of white furniture and glass doors (that allow for people-watching), while minimal, is pleasant enough. We dug right […]

B@Rochester

The buzz: B@Rochester is a new contemporary Japanese restaurant and bar that opened just under a month ago at Rochester Park.
