There a couple of bar cafes around NZ called "coyote" and in Auckland itself a "coyote bar", everytime I hear the names I picture half naked girls dancing on the bar. Nothing like a movie to name your establishment after.

I see this is a old topic, but if anyone else is heading to Waiheke I highly recommend te whau great food and amazing location.

In regards to Petit Lyon, after the break up of the partnership of the Kent (?) and Alan Garner, I believe Kent(?) had trouble finding a chef to maintain the standard. There were many rumours about other problems but it closed its doors a good year ago. I know Alan Garner was at the Martinborough Hotel a little while back, and am sure he is still there. Citron, has had rave reviews and I believe one of Rex's chefs that he left at Bouquet Garni won chef of the year, last year.
