Love going to this restaurant. The staff are really professional and helpful. The ambience is nice and the views are great. The food is exceptional. Thank you Nitin, Ron and staff. Marilynn & Mike

Service and food excellent today Our friend had the seafood chowder and she said it was yummy

Nicely decorated restaurant with good food at reasonable prices. Thanks

Great night and great service. Lamb shank was good very small amount of veggies and lukewarm warm mashed potatoes. Would have liked a warm plate

Food excellent and friendly staff. Great sea views and atmosphere.

Excellent food with great service. Warm atmosphere and nice surroundings.

Food was very tasty. Nice clean and warm environment. Cheers

Everything went according to plan. No problems. Music was a bit loud.

Like the new renovations. Food was nice and we would go again 👍

Lovely food, attentive, polite staff. Clean and comfortable, great lunch

Service was great, staff friendly and food delicious. Will come again.

Beautiful food for breakfast , beautiful coffee and lovely staff

Great professional service and food was up to expectations. Like the new fit out in restaurant. Eight guests and all thoroughly enjoyed their meals and night out - would certainly recommend

It’s such a great time there with my friends and family!

The restaurant was not full so cannot comment on noise level, it was good when we were there, about one third occupancy. Waiting time was minimal and service excellent. My only constructive criticism is a hot meal should be served on a HOT plate otherwise the meal cools too quickly and you are eating barely warm food.

Great to have vegetables included as part of the main.

A very nice reasonably priced meal at the end of a long week. What's not to like

Delicious food Nice setting Medium price range Will go again

Attentive staff made it more enjoyable. Good food, good coffee and an amazing affogato

Loving our Local! Winter menu has some warm changes alongside the favourites. We enjoyed lamb shanks and the grilled chicken on root veg - tasty and perfectly cooked. But what really rachets this place up a notch is the friendly attentive staff and the awesome location with the most magnificent sunset views.

We enjoyed our meals and will come back again. Would be nice if they did weekly specials.

Great new menu. We had the seared tuna and nicoise salad which was a delicious combination. Super friendly staff and a wonderful evening experience.

Great coffee! Delicious brunch - bacon, tomato, avocado stack with a poached egg

Service friendly staff Great atmosphere highly recommend brighter than barracuda

a very clean (including toilets), light and cheerful restaurant we thoroughly enjoyed our time there

I like how they have revamped the restaurant. Good menu, great service. Would highly recommend.

Lovely evening, great food too. Will definitely be back again.

First time dining and we will be back Really enjoyed

Good food and pleasant atmosphere. Nice view to the beach

Time to talk then order...mealwell presented and nice and hot.Very clean. Good choice on menu. Waiter attentive but not in your face! We'll be back

Cute restaurant in a perfect location and friendly staff indeed

We enjoyed our lunch. Thank you very much. Great food

Delicious food Should be byo Good service A bit noisy

We enjoyed the evening, service was good and the was food tasty and well presented.

Great service, recommended. Always like the chowder, great value for money

Lovely food and really good service . The new decor is fresh and bright.

Both the chicken and beef burgers were great. The sauces were very tasty. My wife thought that 1 breast fillet on the chicken burger would be enough. Drinks are pricey, but I guess all restaurants are the same.

Everything was OK. Seems like they need a point of difference. There wasn't really anything wrong but there also was nothing that would make us want to rush back.

Friendly staff Good service Good Food good location overall good experience

The band was too loud we could not hear our conversation. It was a special open night with free wine, nibbles and cake. We had to keep asking for nibbles and the cake was slapped on 1 plate for 4 of us without serviettes or cutlery. The young female waitress was good but the 2 young males were hopeless. Lots of casual people were partaking of the nibbles and cake etc. We paid for a sit down meal and definitely were not looked after in the way we expected from a restaurant.

The sourdough toast was incredibly hard and no butter was given, I had to ask for it. The eggs were tasteless. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant was clean and has a lovely atmosphere. Just a pity about the food. I won't be returning in a hurry.

Nice view Clean restaurant new decoration. The price is reasonable. Best things is BYOW too

Absolutely fantastic experience. Lovely restaurant, great service and delicious food! Really good value for money too. Would highly recommend!!

Very pleasant evening and we enjoyed a very nice meal. The only down side was the level of noise and we found it a bit hard to converse with a group of six.

Noisy. Tables too close together in the front part. Hence requested to go to the back. Beer was flat and not cold enough. One meal had pepper all over it, which the diner did not enjoy. This should be an option for the Diner to make, not the Chef. Service was good. Meals a good size. But overall difficult to rate the total experience as much more than average.

A lovely meal experience, great food, service, views and ambience.

Great service and food was ok thanks. Not much atmosphere as no art on the walls

We had an outside table looking across the sea to Waiheke. Great range of on tap beers including Heineken and Panhead. Had a good look inside at the newly renovated interior - all looks great. Awesome seafood platter and Beef Oriental Salad, Just need to add dog treats to the menu and it would be perfect !!
