Our family had dinner on Saturday, 25th June, at Totara. We enjoyed the ambiance of this lovely restaurant with exceptional service. The menu presented unique en variety of dishes. Our family explored with several of these on the menu and which was truly enjoyable and excellently prepared. I personally enjoyed my best tuna dish ever. We highly recommended this restaurant.
