“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.”

“Lovely bar Lady, great atmosphere and the pokies are awesome”

“We love coming here and having the bao buns and burgers. We usually the pork and the chicken bao buns, and the South Westerner (fried chicken) burger which are always so good! The chips are always seasoned well, and the service is awesome. Don't be fooled by the pic, the angle makes the burger look small but trust me it's not. 10/10”

“Just love Beachhouse Eatery. Food excellent. Just had Noodle Salad, new to the menu and a winner, staff are friendly and onto it, the view to die for and atmosphere so Orewa. My favourite eatery.”

“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.”

“We had breakfast there . The breakfast menu was good. The food we ordered was really tasty. The atmosphere is of really cozy street cafe where you can spend time and have food. A bit like Europe. The service was real fast and very polite. Overall A nice experience.”

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

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Stunning views, beautiful atmosphere, excellent food. Staff was friendly.”

“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!!”

“This bar is really great. Heineken is only NZ$6 if you drink that. Also possible the listen to your favourite song on the jukebox. Best bar in Auckland. Staff is amazing to”

“We arrived today from Taupō and were lucky to have our morning coffee at Midpoint. Their welcome was wonderful and warm. We enjoyed an absolutely amazing coffee. Thank you all so much — great job, team! Stay awesome!”

“Lovely staff and great food and coffee menu. If you love coffee then you must visit this place! The food we ordered was so delicious - very happy with how the mini breakfast was seasoned. Nothing was overly salted and ingredients were fresh. Really good prices too!”

“Had our first birthday party there, and kids had an absolute blast! Lovely attentive staff, who had a lot of patience answering my endless questions. Lovely area for parents to wait while the kids are running around occupied for hours. Literally had to drag them away after 4 hours. Will definitely be back! Thank you, LiveWire Highbury Team!”

“We went to the Cafe for lunch. It was quiet however speaking to the staff it gets very busy during the weekend. The food was excellent and the service great. A lovely place for lunch if you’re looking for beautiful surroundings and plenty of room to relax.”

“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 :)”

“One of the best dining experience. Food was delicious and the ambience of the place gave me the Christmas feeling well. Sure I will visit this place once again with my family. Thank you for all the people who served us in Circus Circus. Cheers.”

“Excellent experience overall. The food was delicious and well-portioned, pricing was appropriate, and the staff were very friendly. The space was clean and relaxing; the only minor downside was some noise from the nearby road.”

“Looking for a lunch stop and the Brit ticked our boxes. Warm lovely staff, delicious pizza - perfect size to share and the beverages hit the spot beautifully. Ghastly cold windy day outside but the window views were well appreciated in the warm.”

“About my / our 5 th visit here in last 2 months. Really good pub food, staff are all excellent and very personable. Nothing complicated and executed well. Will be back every time I’m back in Auckland/ TeAtatu Cheers”

“Amazing staff! Such great people. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and bringing the chill vibes. The range of drinks is outstanding- great pints and they even have our fav; Morning Cider. The building is beautiful - old world solid wood with plenty of intriguing curiosities gracing the walls. There are cozy spots hidden all round the venue so it can feel intimate even when crowded. Decent food - we weren’t big fans of the wings ‘cause we like them classic-style with crispy skin, but we’re from London so we get picky when it comes to fried chicken, these are American Buffalo style as stated on the menu. This is, however, the best pub on the waterfront. We go here whenever we’re doing a shoot in town and the team are brilliant hosts. Thanks guys!”

“I have been wanting to visit this place for a while to have their famous roast and was worth the wait. I also like the atmosphere. Very good bar and a fantastic place to watch sports. Update: Normally I always go for the amazing Sunday roast dinner, but on my last visit I noticed the updated menu and saw they had Gammon, Egg, and Pineapple with hand-cut fries. I haven’t had that in years, and it’s rare to see on a menu these days. The nostalgic taste was absolutely amazing! Highly recommended. I would highly recommend booking in advance for a table in the weekends as this places gets busy and I can see why. Still fantastic service and great staff.”

“I ordered a latte and the milk foam was super smooth. The barista made different latte art each time, which was so cute lol. The only thing was that the desserts were a bit pricey one madeleine was $7”

“Good food, the place is cozy and cute, staff is nice. A little bit pricey but it’s worth it. They have vegan options.”

“Went here for a quiet dinner date. Food was very good. Great size portions and well presented. Staff were friendly and didn't even push us to leave when we stayed 30 minutes past their usual closing time.”

“Great morning coffee and Pastry. The Date scone was unfortunately not cooked through but they did apologise and tell the baker. Coffees great and the Almond Croissant rated highly along with the Chocolate Twist.”
