Grill bar in Auckland

“We had a wonderful dining experience. The place seemed more like a bar at first, but the food truly amazed me. The focaccia was soft and airy, and the steak was juicy and fresh. Everything was full of flavor, and I especially loved the salad and the paper corn sauce! The manager kindly agreed to let us sit outside and even turned on the cool fire heater, although it did take a bit of time to warm up in the freezing winter! We loved the experience and will definitely come back to dine at this place again.”

“The insane wings are very hot dont eat them but nice normal wings and have the most spice anywhere finishing these aint easy but they need to make a hotter wing”

“Friendly staff and good amount of sitting space. The South African owner is the chef. We enjoyed the ribs and chicken. Good portion too. Found this restaurant on zomato, otherwise wouldn't have known about it.”

“Great little place to eat. Beautiful food. Efficient staff. Will definitely be back.”

“Look. If you want to feel looked after and have a good feed come here. The staff are excellent and the food is delicious, second time being here and it’s still as good as the first time. I came back the second time because I knew that this place would be outstanding. I made good memories here with friends. Not gonna lie, this will be the worst part about leaving NZ. So if you come to Auckland and don’t want delicious food and a relaxing atmosphere to have a few pints in, aswell as be treated so bloody well by the staff. Go somewhere else.”

“Was absolutely amazing. Greeted by friendly staff and taken straight to our table on a busy Saturday (we had booked and would probably recommend as was very busy) Companion had the kumara burger and it was delicious. I had the platter "for 2" which was phenomenal decent portion of each item and all were delicious. We then had desserts and they were very tasty. All the staff were very nice too. Will definitely be back!”

“I went to Caffe E Cucina for a tinder date (which went pretty well, I think she likes me!) for lunch, and had a great time. We ordered different kinda small plates from the prima section of the menu and shared those which worked well as we weren't super hungry. The service was good, and prices not toooo bad. The food was definitely the highlight (after the company) with everything cooked to perfection. Seared tuna blew my mind.”

“Absolutely love the food here! I always get the quesadillas and eat it all up every time. The service was also great, the staff were attentive and fast. The interior is nice and clean, just in the day there are a lot of wasps inside especially in the sunny areas near the windows.”

“So I was invited to do a collab on a collab between Gen Z influencers @wezgudinc (on IG and YT go follow and subscribe) and Flaming Onion Browns Bay. They are reviewing the best cheeseburger in town. The branch in Birkenhead is phenomenal cos I have had food from there during lockdown and it’s still memorable! So we rock up to the Browns Bay branch and let me tell you they do not disappoint! Sham was on duty that day and he made a platter of delectable food! The cheeseburger was spot on! And the loaded fries were enthused by the pulled pork on top. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside! Totally worth the visit and cost. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Price and portion are both reasonable, and the food was excellent. Food was served a little slow but that makes sense considering how busy they were. Recommended!!”

“If you haven't been to this cafe, then you're missing something very good in Beachhaven. I think it has new ownership and they deserve to survive. The coffee is great. It's Altura my husband's favourite. Lots of people were coming and going, which is good to see. The food could have been at any five-star establishment.”

“This is how a sports bar should be. Clean, and well-presented with no drama. It's part of the community and several local groups hold meeting there. There are raffles and a fishing club. Even free bread from the local bakery on occasion. The beer is very well priced and although the menu is none existent you can bring in food from other establishments.”

“Great place, loads of bars in browns bay but this one has a bit of character and the prices are the best around . Really nice friendly staff. Propa decent bit of food and portions are massive especially the hake and chips I think. If your just passing through I honestly recommend coming here for few beers and food.”

“Booked via First Table, so received 50% off meals, which made the value extremely good!”

“Hands down, my favourite nightclub in Auckland. With the best lineups of electronic dance music from local DJs to International DJs Pointers does it all! Friendly staff, good drinks and great music to dance all night to! This truely is the place to be!”

“First time visiting today and we were impressed, the kids had a blast so we will definitely be back”

“What a sumptuous feast, we practically licked our plates clean! The staff were all very friendly and helpful which made the dining experience such a memorable one”

“Dropped by on a Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised by their steak special with eat value and cooked just right. The mussels were fresh and nice, definitely a highlight. It is a lively spot, but I managed to get a table straight away with no wait, which was a bonus. Staff were friendly and attentive.”

“Took about 20 minutes to be prepared but well worth the wait, massive portion size, and delicious, amazing place”

“Always kind friendly service and carefully prepared quality food. Prefer this restaurant over other St Pierre's. I come regularly for lunch and like the katsu rice ball and sashimi.”

“We had our function held in this restaurant and was looked after by one of their workers named Shania. She was extremely helpful and was really patient when we communicate with her, she was also enthusiastically conversing with us. Her service made our experience in this restaurant outstanding. Shania was really fast and efficient when it comes to bringing the food on time and also taking our used plates and glasses. Thank you so much for an amazing service! We will definitely choose to eat here again when we have another function or even just to eat in here.”

“The food was absolutely delicious! The chicken salad was especially tasty, the pork ribs were full of flavor, and my kids loved the jerk chicken burger. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!”

“The frozen cocktail was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to start the evening. The beef salad was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully balanced with crunchy noodles and a tasty dressing. We finished off with the sorbet dessert that was light and refreshing. Great atmosphere and friendly service.”

“Food: always top quality Korean food with a very generous portion. Service: the owner and staffs working there are super friendly. Location: super convenient next to the carpark. My favourite Korean restaurant in Auckland.”

“Awesome friendly service, amazing ribs, great beer selection, awesome view, what more can one ask for!!”

“Thank you to the Westie Bistro team for accommodating us at the very last minute — all 38 of us! You managed to fit us in comfortably and catered to our group so well. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the space was perfect. Your staff looked after us exceptionally, and we really appreciated there being no hidden costs, especially for a group our size. Highly recommend — thank you again for a great night!”

“Our family's favourite restaurant. Staff are very friendly and food are so yum. Usually no wait and they have plenty to eat. We love Mongolian BBQ.”

“Enjoy so much on Saturday lunch, staff are friendly and helpful, kids menu available. The moonshine sausage is nice, beef bresket is soft Buffalo wings is mild hot just right. Enjoyable seating environment.”

“Recently had my 50th birthday party here, hired the whole upstairs with a DJ. Was a fantastic evening. Plenty of food to feed 70 guests. I had a lot of people complementing the venue and food. Staff were great, no complaints. Would highly recommend as a venue.”

“A much higher end Korean BBQ restaurant that is justified as the entire dining experience is top notch. I was afraid there were no tables available as I hadn't booked but I was warmly welcomed on arrival. The restaurant has a beautiful interior, almost like Victorian style with a large and bright kitchen. Their menu has a range of freshly cut meats and food items and they recently have a summer menu consisting of many cold and marinated seafoods. We got two types of meat and from their seasonal menu we got the crab cold noodles and marinated raw prawns. The bonus to this reataurant is that it's charcoal BBQ. Everything was delicious, especially the seasonal menu. While you are cooking and eating, staff are constantly looking after their customers and will help you grill your meat and changing your BBQ rack for you. The crab cold noodles contain an entire marinated crab with spicy noodles (even though I was expecting crab meat) which was a bit difficult to eat but you can always ask staff to give you a pair of those disposal gloves. This place is a real treat and I appreciate such attentive customer service from staff. The price point would be considered on the higher side but is justified with the high quality of customer serivice and food.”
