Restaurant in New Zealand

“We had our wedding at The Waterfront in March 2025 and couldn't be happier with our choice. Zara was involved from the start, bringing a calm, professional approach that made the planning process easy and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and she used her experience to ensure everything went smoothly. She even took on extra tasks like printing and setup, allowing us to focus on other aspects. The staff were outstanding—proactive and attentive. Our guests raved about the food and overall atmosphere. We highly recommend The Waterfront for any event. They've set a new standard for hospitality on the coast, comparable to the best in Auckland or Melbourne. Keep it up & thank you for everything!!”

“Great spot for a quiet drink. Kitchen was closed but snacks available - enjoyed the Hawaiian pizza”

“First of all this is a pub not a fancy restaurant - set your expectations accordingly. Having said that the food is excellent value for money and a big range of options on the menu and specials board and an amazing selection of sweets in the cabinet. Have had the "small" beef burger here and it's just spot on, usually can't finish the fries that come with it (hey have small/large sizes that really should be described as big/huge). Friendly service at the counter, clean and tidy premises and what looked like a number of locals in for Monday lunch - clearly popular.”

“Macaroni and mocha were absolutely delicious! Great service as well.”

“We used the function area for a 21st recently.The service and food were outstanding. Staff were very responsive and keen to make our evening as enjoyable as possible. Communication was excellent and the food platters were huge and extremely good value for money. Highly recommended and would hold another event here in the future.”

“Reserved table for 7 for dinner. All ready for us. Great service, problem with my order and I'm pleased to say the manager on duty dealt with my complaint very satisfactorily. Great value.”

“Today me and my friend went into Upper Hutt pita pit and had a lovely experience because of this beautiful young blonde who provided us with phenomenal service. She even helped me decided what meal to purchase. Food was delicious would definitely go again”

“I visited this subway today and had the best experience i have ever had at a subway the girl who served me harper was super fast with making me and my kids subway definitely will be coming back!”

“This place is outstanding. Simple food done extremely well. Flavour with depth. I work and eat all over Wellington and I'd put this up there with the Vietnamese restaurant in New town. Traditional flavours. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Thanks”

“I went here for lunch yesterday not expecting anything too crazy good, but I was blown away!! The ramen I ordered was the yuzu miso ramen and I added kimchi. It was so delicious! The portion size was perfect and all the flavours melted together beautifully! The broth was really flavourful and the yuzu flavour got stronger towards the end. The kimchi was yummy and crunchy and slightly sweet. The pork slices were thick and charred and tender. The staff were very friendly and food came out relatively quickly. Definitely the best ramen I’ve had in Welly so far.”

“The establishment recently underwent a change in ownership, and we had the opportunity to dine there a few weeks following the transition. We found the cuisine to be exceptional, and the service was both prompt and outstanding. The quality of service significantly enhanced my dining experience, making it highly likely that I will return.”

“Absolutely beautiful fish burger! One of the best I've ever had!!! Highly recommend!”

“Besr large crumb fillet here. Will travel the hill just for fish n chips. Chinese food amazing as well.”

“My partner and I like coming to Hudsons. Beautifully presented coffees always! These guys are Christmas ready too. Great ambience. Excellent staff, food and coffee...”

“The staff were nice and the bagels were bomb. 10/10 recommend.”

“Friendly service, Gr8 atmosphere & interiors & immaculately crafted food. Best Beer battered Fish & chips I've had in Aotearoa so far.”

“It's such a nice cafe at the waterfront of Days Bay. Nice atmosphere and staff. Sometimes, it takes a while for the kitchen, but that is mainly because of how busy it is. The food is great, cakes are nice and the coffee is good.”

“The food and the service was excellent. Pizza was delicious and staff were friendly. Everything happened in a very timely manner despite there being several large groups in. 10/10 would recommend. It was really quite loud inside though which is to be expected in a busy restaurant”

“Olé is amazing! If you are looking for something more interesting than Asian or Italian- this is your place. The tapas portions are generous and delicious. We had the pomegranate and home made lemonade drinks and they are divine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience, the food is prompt and tasty and the service is excellent. We left full and impressed. We’ve been to Spain and the food at olé is authentic and awesome.”

“Great lamb curry roti. Friendly service. Handy location at the back of the market.”

“I ordered some food from uber eats iv never had anything from here before but my family love trying new places to eat every Friday this place was absolutely delicious and hot and fresh and the portions sizes are very generous you will not be disappointed my whole family loved everything we got we highly recommend Mei's takeaways”

“Always a beautiful place for kai, with lovely staff! The two for one deal is top tier. Definitely our new favorite spot”

“Really delicious food. We've been there a few times and will be back again. Lots to choose from. We've eaten all meats and they're all tender and good portion sizes. Service is good and attentive.”

“Shared a delicious 2 dishes, Ginger Prawn and Thai Fried Rice with Chicken. Both were delicious and fresh! I’d definitely visit again.”

“Interesting food serving concept where burger and fries and send through tubes to the seats their patrons. The interior design of the eatery was also rather unique, colonial and artistic. The coffee also packed a punch. Would recommend coming here at least once to try it out.”

“Best thing that ever happened after 40 odd years... new owners!!! Great spot... good to return after all this time!!”

“Have stayed at this hotel many times and I have to say it definitely is one of my favorite hotels to stay in lovely staff lovely rooms comfortable beds and spa jet bath in our room, the only thing I would recommend is getting the place fitted out with sound deading can hear people in room next to you other than that the restaurant food is pretty awesome, my main highlight everytime is the buffet breakfast it is top notch”
