Sevanti's

I love this place!!
I've been here twice and want to come back again! :)

Sirloin steak was excellent! I asked for dairy free and swapped mashed potatoes with fries. Garlic bread was delicious too.

As always, the food is excellent .. perfectly cooked and well presented.

I know the chef takes pride in providing quality food. If you want a quiet and peaceful evening out, this is the place. Parking is also hassle free.

The friendly staff always go beyond that extra mile to remember our preferences and always cater to our special dietary needs as well.

In fact last winter, they catered for our wedding dinner group of 34 guests. The place was so beautifully set up, food (including a restrictive dietary meal) was fantastically cooked and presented with excellent service such that everyone left the place very happy and impressed.

It was a memorable day for all!

Absolutely enjoyed our experience the atmosphere was beautiful the waitress very accommodating and the food absolutely delicious

Lovely place very happy with our service and food. Dessert was devine the brownie

Meal was great steak cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and efficient even opening the door for you as you come into restaurant. Situated in nice quiet area plenty of parking

Had a delish brunch. Will come back

Our waitress was so attentive to us, we felt like the only people on the resturant. We ordered the sirloin steaks for dinner which were cooked perfectly, and dessert could not be faulted! Thanks for making our experience enjoyable. Would totally recommend coming back!

Lovely meal. Good service. Crême brûlée was yummy

enjoyed the whole first table experience and would recommend to anybody
we will return

entree and mains were good, dessert was huge. try it see for yourself

The food was excellent, we really enjoyed our early evening meal. Thank you

Probably one of the best brunches we have had in a long time!

Enjoyable meal, although a little bit inflexible with the menu

Arrived at the restaurant and as it was a First Table, it was quiet. This is actually perfect because we had the whole place to ourselves. Service was excellent and so was the food. I had the pork belly, which was gluten free (there were quite a few options for gluten free) which made the experience easy. For dessert we had vanilla creme brûlée. It was delicious.

Food was excellent, service was great.

A lovely meal. Great service. Steak and veges were cooked perfectly.

Very attentive staff. Great presentation of food. Dessert was a great size enough to share. Will definitely go back.

Attentive staff. Food tasty and beautifully presented . Would heartily recommend

Nice interior, service was great, food was okay

Lovely quiet dining atmosphere!! Great service, friendly and efficient...

We were the only diners but the waitress was attentive and polite. The food was tasty and nicely presented. The decor is a little dated but it is a suburban restaurant after all.

We both had the pork belly meal - very moist and rich with a nice selection of veges.

Wonderful service. Beautifully cooked and generous meals. The dessert to end the meal was amazing. Highly recommended !!

Friendly staff and tasty food. We will visit again.

For my birthday, we were going to a show at 7.30 pm so a First Table meal at 5.30 worked out perfectly for us, and I had been wanting to try 'Sevantis' from articles I had read. We both shared a Garlic bread, had the Sirloin Steak cooked to our separate liking and followed by a scrumptious berry cheesecake. We enjoyed the drinks we had with the meal and the waitresses was excellent also. I look forward to returning there again.

Had the restaurant to ourselves most of the time. Great starters. We had steak which was slightly overlooked for our liking, overall very nice though.

A nice, quiet location. The restaurant is clean and well-presented. Wine list is not extensive, but the wines served are good quality. We had salmon and herbed lamb rack. Both attractively plated, cooked well, hot and tasty. Generous portions. Sides of mushrooms and potatoes easily served two. The service was prompt, polite and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant for couples or groups, and for family gatherings.

We had a wonderful meal last night, my salmon was cooked to perfection set on a fresh salad full of flavour. The sticky date pudding was lovely. We will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I had a lovely meal over Easter Weekend, the waitress was attentive, the meal came to us in a timely manner and the meal was excellent ...... would highly recommend .... Linda

Fantastic food amazing presentation and wonderful service truly an award winning restaurant and with first table it was a wonderful evening with great company will be back.

We ordered chicken pate for sharing as our entree, I must say, it was yummy and the flavour combination with pickles and sun dried tomatoes were amazing. My husband ordered the t-bone steak and it was cooked to perfection. He has always been very fussy with his food. But this time, he was really satisfied. I ordered beef fillet with polenta cakes. I left the plate clean which says it all. As much as we wanted to try their desserts, we were really full as the servings were filling. Maybe we will try desserts next time...yes there's a next time!

Sevanti's restaurant is tucked away in the suburb of Burnside. All the foot traffic appeared to be children and teenagers heading to the local dairy for some goodies and the only cars about were those who had made bookings at the restaurant. Therefore, without First Table, I would never have known about this place and would have likely never stumbled across it. We were, surprisingly, the first people to arrive at this restaurant which also doubles as a cafe during the day, but the dinner service started to pick up from 6pm with quite a few parties arriving. The decor was quite pleasant and classy and the host for the night was polite and amicable. I ordered the classic Pork Belly and my partner had the fish. Both meals were very timely and presentation was excellent. I was slightly intrigued that the Pork Belly was to be served with bok choy, however that in combination with the kumara miso puree led to an excellent taste experience. If anything, I would have liked a few more vegetables on the plate.The fish of the day was groper, which was cooked nicely with a good combination of flavours. Of course with 50% off our food bill, we decided to have dessert as well; the chocolate fondant and lemon tart. I cannot stress enough how amazing the fondant was. I have been to quite a few restaurants around Christchurch and ordered fondant before and it is never quite right. But this was perfect. In combination with the creme chantilly, a few berries and, ingeniously, shaved pineapple, the fondant could not have been better. The lemon tart was also good, but not as good. My favourite part was the top coating of caramelised sugar. Overall, a perfectly quaint and pleasant restaurant. The quality of the food was wonderful and the fondant was to die for. Would recommend.

The food was good, plating was a little sloppy. The staff didn't seem to know their food too well. Nice clean modern restaurant.

We have been to this Restaurant several times now and just love it. The food and service is great. The Burnside location is excellent for no hassle parking at the door. What more could you want. Definitely a favourite restaurant for us

The waitress was a delight and the food very nice. Highly recommend this restaurant

The lamb is very good.

Always a pleasure dining at Sevantis and this was no exception. The salmon main is delicious , and the creme brulee is delectable! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend this restaurant.
