Pub in Auckland

“I went to the Bottomless Brunch event on Saturday and it was awesome! The service was great, the food was delicious and it was an all around great experience”

“I went to the now Platform5 bar on March 1st 2024 - new owner Tony was so welcoming & accomodating showing us his new bar - spacious pokies area - great area upstairs also - wonderful music - nice beers haha - highly recommend”

“Didn't taste the food but the beers were amazing. Did an impromptu visit with some close friends on late Saturday morning. It was wet and drizzling but the open air pub felt right at home. Child and pet friendly too.”

“The smoked Brie and lamb were great! Must visit while crossing or in Riverhead! 1 minute drive from Good Planet strawberry picking as well”

“Had dinner here recently. The place was spacious, pleasantly decorated and warmly lighted. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was tasty with a reasonable serving. If you are in the area and would like to have a taste of Mediterranean, this restaurant is recommended.”

“The Hunting Lodge is such a beautiful wedding venue. As a wedding photographer, I always love shooting here. The grounds are stunning year-round, and the sunsets over the vineyards are next level. There are several ceremony options, including right at the edge of the vines or beside the iconic Barn. I also love the vintage caravan bar, it adds such a fun, relaxed energy and looks amazing in photos! With their in-house wine, relaxed vibe, and versatile indoor-outdoor flow, The Hunting Lodge is one of the best winery venues in Auckland :)”

“Good service, the waiter let us sit on a table for 4 after ai asked even though there were only my friend and I. The food was very tasty, my friend is a chef and he tried the salmon and said it was fresh caught. Nice and quiet environment, probably also because we got there after 3PM. Anyway, very nice eating experience.”

“My favourite bar in Auckland, really nice bartenders and great music. Update: returned again, still great! Cousin ordered the curly fries which were really nice $8 house drinks 12-1 which was brilliant. Staff are always friendly and helpful”

“We were a group of 3, we ordered bbq ribs with wedges salad, grilled fish with roast potatoes salad, lamb shanks with mash and Veges for our mains. Amazing dishes, good portions. The service was attentive. Our entree jalapeño poppers were the best we've had. This is my 2nd time at this restaurant. We all left very happy with our meals! Will definitely be back again.”

“Excellent Mediterranean restaurant in Sylvia Park. Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. There's something to sample all day. I ordered an Express Lunch with Chicken and the portion was just right. The food came out fast and the service was awesome too”

“I love this place! I've been there many times this year, and I even had my daughter’s 5th birthday party there. The staff is always friendly, and the food is amazing. Parents can enjoy a peaceful coffee while overlooking the playground, watching the kids play.”

“I recently hosted a function in the restaurant and was very impressed with the service as well as the quality. Nothing was too much to ask. The food was simply delicious! Thank you Jessica and Vincent for your hospitality.”

“This is an establishment on K Rd. And there is a reason for that. Their prices are reasonable. The food is tasty with generous portions. Most of all the staff are super nice and helpful!”

“Awesome lounge, excellent food and a great wine selection. Plenty of showers without line ups. Beautiful view”

“Nice atmosphere, Well priced drinks. The new caterer has good food options at great prices.”

“Very welcoming and friendly customer service. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived. Our food came out quick, it was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. My favourite was the kumara wedges I really enjoyed that as well as my chicken apricot burger. The lovely waitress who served us from the moment we walked in was super sweet and lovely! I had an issue with my drink and she took it away and fixed it right away still smiling. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available, it’s a lovely setup. Next time we’ll try the ribs as it looked so good when the waiter walked past with them to the other table.”

“Really cool and nice place! They even had a DJ!!! Food is delicious and the staff are really friendly. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!”

“Had an unpleasant experience at another bar with my group of mates, so we migrated here. What a difference! Pool tables, rugby on, great food to fill up on and the service was excellent! Alyssa was so friendly and helpful, thanks for rescuing our night!”

“The atmosphere and customer service at this place was amazing. We sat outside and it was steady in terms of customers. A friend and I attended for afternoon cocktails and dinner and the food was absolutely sensational. We ordered the olives, the bread with burrata, the lamb and the beef and honestly the amount of food for the quality and taste of the food was unmatched. The service was quick - polite - all round a great experience. Will be going back again soon for sure!!!”

“Lovely place, I have a coffee ☕️ here most Sunday afternoon..I think every other Sunday they also have live music, which starts at 3pm.”

“My first time and everything was amazing. Friendly staff, and delicious food. The egg bene with salmon on hash cakes was good. Great coffee too.”

“100% recordable, I went for meat and vegetables, when tasting the dish, the meat was perfectly crispy and cooked. And let's not forget Argentinian fernet, a marvel.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! A few years ago I was pregnant,tired and incredibly hungry and all the restaurants were actually closing their doors, including vino. My poor husband ran up just as you were closing the doors and asked if you had anything spare he could buy for me quickly. Without hesitation you actually turned your ovens back on,chatted to my husband about life,and made me a double portion of pasta FREE of charge and said it was a gift for us and our first baby. I genuinely cried at how generous you were to a total stranger. Don’t know if you remember this at all,but it’s always stuck with us! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.”

“The service was great, a little bit hard to understand the specials, but our waitress was pleasant and gave me some recommendations. The food was delicious and a good portion, price was average to good. I would definitely go back to try more from the menu.”

“Very well presented Thai food, always delicious.”

“We had brunch on Waitangi Day (Thursday) and absolutely loved it. For the first time, I had a smoothie that was actually better than the ones I make at home—so thank you for that! We went back on Saturday, but this time, the smoothie had noticeably more spinach, which caused it to oxidize quicker. I don’t have a picture, so you’ll have to take my word for it—it was much darker in color and less sweet. That said, the breakfast quality was just as great as the first time.”

“The Collins is a local fave on the Shore!! Their food is always delicious, coffee is brewed to perfection, and the customer service is always friendly and fast. I definitely recommend coming here for coffee and/or brunch, plenty of seating options both indoor and outdoor too.”

“Awesome place to go, especially during the week for lunch $20 steak doesn't go a miss and it was a decent feed too quick service, ordered lunch, ate and left in 25mins, perfect for a lunch break”
