Fodor's Expert Review Civil and Naval

This cozy haunt is packed with locals who come for tasty tapas-style food, produced in a tiny kitchen, and the excellent cocktails. Try the slow-cooked beef cheek, fried chicken, or cauliflower, and delectable hand-cut fries. There's an eclectic selection of international and New Zealand wines and craft beers. Or ask the owner to make you one of his own-recipe cocktails, like Pixy Stix, an anti-oxidant-laden fusion of black raspberry liqueur, blueberries, and cider vinegar.
