    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 !!

    Haven't been here in years...food is even better than I remember. Seafood chowder one of the best I've had in Auckland! Prawn pasta and spaghetti bolognese both delicious, gourmet potatoes perfect with sprinkle of parmesan...nice generous portion for a side dish. Service was wonderful. Really enjoyed my lunch there with the family, thank you! Will definitely be back to dine again soon.

    The Turkey dry but the entrees, lamb chops and veges were great. Bread sides should have been included. We were the last sitting and the staff were cleaning up around us which was off putting considering the price.

    Attentive service overall. But the food was just average. I'm used to great restaurants in Sydney and New York so maybe I'm being unreasonable but it was not cheap so expected better.

    Although there were several groups making more noise than I expected, I didn’t mind as it added to the local atmosphere. Food was very good and pricing reasonable. We’ll go back.

    Waiter was a bit useless. Took forever to come get a drink order once we arrived. So in end we ordered food and drinks same time. Only one entree came out. Asked about other one. He hadn’t written it down. Was decided to bring with rest of food. They don’t leave water on the table like most places. If you wanted water needed to ask. Not sure why they don’t leave a bottle on the table. Food was very good thou
