Wine selection in Auckland

“Delicious. Would go back just for the desserts. Very friendly attentive staff.”

“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.”

“First waiter was a little clueless, but food was delicious and Caitlin Smith worth the wait.”

“I'm giving Portofino 5 stars all around as we absolutely loved the food, service, and atmosphere during our holiday in New Zealand. It was so good that we visited them again before we left...twice in one week for dinner! I definitely recommend dining at Portofino. All of the food we ordered were great from the Lasagna Al Forno, Fettuccine Di Pollon, Vegetarian Fettuccine Vegetarian, Cannelloni Casanostra. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They even offered and opened the window and had fresh air while enjoying our meals. We forgot to take pictures of our food the first time we dined in...that's how great it was! The pictures below are of what we ordered on our second visit!”

“BEST PAD THAI IN THE CITY! Joy Bong had recently moved to a more intimate location and some how the food is even better! Not only is it the best husband and wife combo in the city who have owned and operated this legendary business for 10+ years they will always make you feel like family. Service 10/10 and food is the best Thai you will find in Auckland, and trust me I eat out a lot. Jess, Kakapo Business Sales”

“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”

“Great bar and place to eat. Really good service by the staff and very good food. The older reviews placed on this establishment are not accurate.”

“I met a friend of mine for lunch. First time visiting this pub. Loved it. Fantastic customer service. Relaxing, environment with well thought out decor. Bathrooms worth a mention, very clean and lots of stalls. Loved the food!!! We shared a pizza, mac n cheese bites and truffle fries. I'll be back!!”

“Limited food menu and the wine list could be improved but a great vibe. The band playing were very good - 7 pm on Fridays.”

“Stock South African liquor. Best price in town”

“Always good here. Friendly and good service. Can cater to big groups. Reasonably priced as well.”

“A little hidden gem. Wasn't sure what to get, so it was recommended that the Tom Yum Soup with seafood was good by the friendly staff. The food came out quick and did not disappoint. Will definitely be back.”

“Cozy, nice decorated restaurant. Delicious meals and fresh ingredients, highly recommend the steamed fish boat special”

“Friendly staff clean store great location”

“The most delicious Japanese food ever. I had the teriyaki chicken donburi and shared some dumplings. Amazing service, taste and quick and very cheap. Will be back again for sure!”

“Friendly staff, good variety of drinks”

“Good service and Variety of choice. Thank you”

“Easy to get in and out of the car parking with loads of parking, friendly staff, and well stocked shelves.”

“From the amazing manager to the friendly amazing staff. Can't go wrong here team!”

“Good customer service and also cheap stock”

“Love this store! Customer service is always phenomenal to go along with their wide arrange of choices. The lovely old lady is seriously funny”

“Nishant helped me to use my plus points before it expires really appreciate the help.”

“Love this Liquor store. Service is great! Been coming here over 10 years and never seems to let me and my dad down. If there were more stars than 5 I would gladly give em all.”

“Clean and tidy, well stocked and friendly.”

“Have been dining in and ordering takeaway food from Tokyo Redturant for years now. The food is consistently excellent. We love it”

“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.”

“I came here with a couple friends cuz they recommended it to me. I tried their black bean sauce noodle with seafood! Soo good! Such a hidden gem tucked away in front of the library. Most people would definitely pass by without knowing this place exists. Definitely give it a try! Great service and vibe as well!”

“This is our favourite local Eatery! The staff are lovely and so very accommodating. Being able to take our own wine makes it more affordable, meaning we can eat out more often. Love it!”
