Steak house in Auckland

“Johnny's Steakhouse deserves it's 5 star rating from me as I have dined there many times and the food and service is consistent. The food quality always great and so when you take a friend there that you have recommended Johnny's to, you will not be disappointed. They won't let you down, especially Manoj ... The best thing about Fridays at Johhny's is that they are open from 11am making Steaks for lunchtime a perfect place to go. My friend Jim was so impressed he has placed a review after today making me realise I should too. I have posted photos from today and the same meals order over a couple of years showing the consistency of quality. Regards Eric”

“We had the Grilled Paneer Tikka, Goat curry, Tandoori Chicken, Dal Tadka and garlic naan . They were all very delicious and the service was excellent . I always come back here for Indian food.”

“Absolutely the best place, love the vibe and service, have had multiple friends hold their functions here and it is always top notch, ohh and the nachos and pizzas are the best in my opinion.”

Pine Harbour Eatery leans into a simple, bistro‑style approach with tidy execution. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. Serve sizes show solid value.

“The Albany is the quintessential kiwi pub, but with next level food. I had the surf and turf on Turkish bread. The 200g scotch filet and real calamari, muscles and prawns melted in the mouth.”

“Celebrating our lovely daughter’s 6th birthday—and her very first birthday party—at this restaurant was the best decision we could have made! From the beginning, Rachel, the owner, was incredibly helpful, patiently answering all our questions and guiding us through the party planning process. The staff was beyond kind, making sure everything ran smoothly. The delicious buffet for adults, the fantastic kids’ menu, and the amazing outdoor playground made this place truly special. Everything was just perfect for us! A huge thank you to the staff for warmly accommodating 20 excited kids! If anyone is looking for the perfect venue for a child’s birthday party, I highly recommend this place!”

“Absolutely love coming back to Manurewa to get BBQ pork, Crispy Pork & Roast Duck on Rice. Usually this is a 3 option meat meal & it ranges from $20-$25 dollars depending if you want extra spring onion sauce. Small spring onion sauce is $2.50 & big one is $4.50-$5.”

“Beautiful owners, son on piano, once upon a time xx We've been visiting for years, mum in Ponsonby, would travel over especially. Best whole battered mussels x10 pk is our draw card. Best fish n chips, raw fish & much more, so worth the trip everytime. Mum is 75 now..We still go xx Thank you very much, for taking care of us with your deliciousness. Your peace, your calm while we've ever been in your presence. Thank you for your beautiful service xx”

“Great food and service! And Ainsley, our server, was terrific! I would highly recommend Bella Cucina!!”

“Wow, what a night. We went for a birthday dinner . The atmosphere was great, the food was exceptional, with huge portions, the service was excellent. We wanted for nothing. We'd certainly go back to Der Metz. Highly recommend”

“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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Great food and friendly service. We walked in for dinner and we were accordmodated with booking for dinner. Group of 4. Everyone enjoy thier food. Fresh and favor full. Good portion size. Will definitely have to return.”

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

“First time here and came after seeing the reviews. It absolutely didn't disappoint. Went for the seafood tartare to start which was really beautifully flavoured with hints of corriander and so fresh. Then went for one of the Wagyu scotch options. Had it medium rare upon recommendation from our lovely waitress. It was possibly one of the most beautifully flavoured tender pieces of steak ever. Both of us went for the same steak. If I come again I'll probably go for a few more side orders, went for the creamed spinach which was lovely. Will definitely return! Highly recommend and I am very fussy!”

“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”

“We came here for dinner on our first night in Auckland and it delivered! Niro and her team were gracious to seat us close to closing and quickly took our orders and served us. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to eat here as part of our honeymoon. The drinks were crisp and the food was incredible. I ordered the pepper steak and my husband ordered the spaghetti bolognese per the staff’s recommendation, and neither of us could stop eating and cleaned our plates. Not to mention the privacy the booth seating provided and the joyous Christmas decor! Highly recommend stopping in if you have the chance.”

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

“I went there to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and it was absolutely worth it. Spending time here was such a great experience. The food, the people, everything was fabulous. The seafood platter and feast were especially delicious, and the place has a really nice view. If you have a party coming up, I would definitely recommend this place!”

“All round great experience! The staff are kind and check in just enough. The chef was so funny! We had a great time thank you very much. Highly recommend lunch deal, it's a decent portion and doesn't feel heavy afterwards.”

“Check this out for a chicken breast was bigger then the size of my hand!! Great value”

“Good food, good ambience and the service was 10/10. Would definitely come back again. Parking is easy and it’s nice and close to the beach + main area where you can grab dessert or other things!”

“we tried this place first time approx 1 month ago. Ever since the first visit, this place became our weekly routine. It's that good. Both dinner and brunch menu is excellent, super friendly service and very kids friendly (my daughter love their kids combo). I'm sure we will continue visit here more. Perhaps the only complaint is we wish there's more mocktail selection for the non-alcoholic drinkers :)”

“Heard so much about the Steak & Guinness Pie that we had to try it out. Hubby had the large one, me the small. Both did not disappoint and both were ample servings. Flakey puff pastry sealed over the top of a bowl of steaming hot steak filling, served with crispy beer battered chips and a green salad. Tasty and very well-priced. Great pub, awesome staff.”

“We booked a table via First Table, so was able to get a good deal for a table of 4. We ordered the Pan-Roasted Lamb Rump and Butcher's Cut Steak. The food came out quickly and it was very tasty. Basalt is nicely layed out, with one corner for dining, another area where you can watch live sport and have drinks. As well as an upstairs area with music”

“We went to Okumnandi for a birthday dinner. We sat outside. The speaker that was outside was playing music way too loud so we asked to have it turned down, but for some reason it got louder again which made talking difficult, even with the person directly across from ourselves. The food didn't take long to arrive and it was delicious and had lots of flavour. As most South African cuisine, it was mostly meat based and quite spicy, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The service was great, we had a kind woman serving us who was really helpful and helped point out what we should order and in what order. The food was fairly expensive but it came in huge portions which were meant for sharing. All in all, the food and service was amazing and perfectly shows off the unique South African cuisine that the chefs should be proud of. I would definitely come here again :)”

“Super yummy! The gnocchi is absolutely delicious, got it with the creamy avocado and chicken sauce. The pizza is also great, plentiful with toppings and great portions!”

“Was beautiful food Great presentation Great sized meals very generous sized loved it”

“We attended a private function here. It is a lovely beachside setting with a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options. The atmosphere is airy, with a nautical themed decor. The reason I would come back is for the food. I had chicken with creme brulee for dessert, and my husband had the steak followed by a cheese plate. I rarely order chichen out but was tempted by the description and not disappointed it was tender, and the flavour was incredible. I would return based on this dish alone. Service was great, efficient and friendly but not intrusive.”

“This is one amazing place for a good meal and some really well made cocktails. We ordered for a meat pizza and 2 cocktails. It was really well made. The waitress also helped us in selecting what to eat. Clean bathrooms.”

“Gets bizy other than that mad cooking makes a big difference to the food and even having suggestions on wat types of food to grab helps too. Loving it”
