The detailing to decor from the outside to the inside of the restaurant is incredible. I really like the how cosy and intimate the restaurantcan be but can also be a social space.
The food has wonderfully generous sized portions and the steaks are cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy steak and tender fresh salmon. The food is plated beautifully and has just the right amount of sides to accompany the main affair.
Went to Tony’s for the first time as it is known for its steak and I loved the food. I ordered the fillet Mignon, which had bacon and mushroom sauce with a side of vege choice (either salad or veggies) and chips. I asked for medium, the steak was more rare than expected but still good. The restaurant has such rustic decor and gives an authentic feel of a steakhouse.
If you're looking for less expensive bill while dining out for steak, this place is the one. I believe Lord Nelson has been around for a while now, with historical looking interiors.
Three of us went in for dinner and I ordered the specialty cut sirloin steak (around $38 which is great as it includes fries and salad). I ordered medium rare and it was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. My friends ordered pepper steak ($40 for the set of fries/potato croquette + salad/veges) but they mentioned their steak was salty. A few months before this experience I did not enjoy my steak at all but they have definitely improved.
Service is friendly most of the time, sometimes could be better. Plates look tacky but the meal was of value and I enjoyed it.
Dinner with friends were a fantastic experience here, although the restaurant is on the romantic side, not too crowded, staff recommendation is good, and food here is good for general public
Love the rustic and vintage decor here.
We ordered Caper steak( fell in love with the rich caper and blue cheese sauce) and Scottish steak with mushroom (the mushroom sauce was so good).
For the sides, we went for French fries and veggies. French fries were so crispy and yummy but the veggies were quite plain.
Customer service was great; staff were very friendly .
Would definitely come here again for the amazing steaks.
Nice place and friendly staff. Ordered Scotch fillet, Pepper Steak, New York Cut and Seafood Chowder. Food taste very good and cook at a good standard. Highly recommended.
Saw the steak meal special ($15) outside on the blackboard and was very happy I went in for my 40th birthday lunch... I love the decor and the uniqueness of it... The salad wasn't very nice, but the fries, steak and Mushroom sauce were AMAZING... Great price for amazing food... I would definitely love to go again
I had the best Salmon Fillet so far. A very rustic restaurant with retro interiors and excellent service.
It was a dinner experience and the Crispy Skin Salmon with Citrus Hollandaise was cooked to perfection. The skin was just crispy enough to give the right relish. The asparagus, carrot on the sides makes the dish just perfect.
Try the Statesman Pale Ale beer and it goes just well with the Salmon.
Prefect place for dinner just a few doors up from our accommodation. Cheese stuffed chicken breast for husband and chicken schnitzel for me. Tiramisu was good. Portions are huge.

Great little steak restaurant tucked away in the heart of the city. Right next to the city countdown or opposite the atrium bungy ball ride. The entrance is quite discreet and makes it feel like a exclusive club. Steak was cooked well like usual but dont expect anything special. At $40 per steak, it comes with sides, potatoes or fries and salad or vegetables. Would recommend choosing fries over potatoes though and you wont be disappointed. The vegetable side has greatly improved over boiled or steam peice of cauliflower and carrots i got last year. At least this time they appear to have put some effort at the least and glazed it in butter (photos of salad/vegetables side). The service is good as they always check if you are happy after the dishes have been served and if youd like any ketchup or mustard. Would come back and its exactly what you want when you crave a good quality steak.

Tony Lord Nelson Restaurant in Auckland offers a delightful dining experience that is sure to satisfy your taste buds. The standout dish for me was the T-bone steak. Cooked to perfection, it was juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The quality of the meat was evident, and it paired wonderfully with their selection of sauces and sides.
One of the highlights of my visit was the friendly and attentive staff. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. They were knowledgeable about the menu, happy to offer recommendations, and ensured that every aspect of my dining experience was enjoyable.
To end the meal on a sweet note, I tried their apple pie, and it was a fantastic choice. The warm, flaky pastry combined with the sweet and slightly tart apple filling created a comforting and delicious dessert.
The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, making it a great place for a romantic dinner or a special celebration. Whether you're a steak enthusiast or looking for a memorable dining experience, Tony Lord Nelson Restaurant is worth a visit. It offers a winning combination of excellent food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning for another satisfying meal.
We had a 6.45pm reservation on a Fri evening and while settling in, realised the place was filling up! Nonetheless, we were well attended to. The black pepper steak was delightful and the potato croquettes that came with it just a joy to bite into. The fish of the day was lightly battered and tasted fresh. We also had the chocolate mud cake - perfectly moist and chocolatey but not overly sweet. An excellent dessert to cap the fabulous meal. It's wonderful as is, but for me, it would reach perfection if the whipped cream that came with it were replaced by a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream! :-) Overall, a very enjoyable evening meal with good service in a unique dining setting.
Absolutely love coming here. Food is always great and so is the service. Nice casual place with a great atmosphere.
Fantastic food with very comfortable environment.. Lord Nelson Rib is of very high value and chowder soup is full of fresh scallops/mussels. Definitely better than well-known Jevouis steak that everyone usually recommends me from their top pocket list.. Will definitely come back again. The reasonable price and all the detail in the food deserves a great big thumb 👍
The food was delicious. Friendly staff. The beef was perfect. Seafood chowder was great. Highly recommended. Make sure to make reservation beforehand.
The place was much bigger than I thought, quite suitable for large group / family dinner. Many choices included in the menu, you can always find something you like among all the options. The steaks are cooked very well, decent sizes. The salmon steak was good, but apart from that, other seafood choices were a little bit weak, I would recommend you stick with the meat choices. We ordered a lot, really a lot-- but we didnt have to wait that long before all are served. So that was good. Overall it is a quite good steak house.
I was very hesitant about going just because I'm use to Tony's steak house but....I absolutely loved it! I love my steak medium rare they did great, perfectly seasoned and I asked for pepper sauce and ended up ordering g another one it's delicious! Croquettes were beautiful, crunchy outside nice and soft on the inside. Tiramisu excellent! Would go again.
Had dinner on a lazy Wednesday night here.
Rack of lamb cooked wonderfully.
Green lip mussels were well presented and tasty though one or two of them were about to turn.
Good portions.
Good beers.
Service was friendly but a little slow.
Happy overall.
Ambience is really nice and rustic. Had the peppercorn filet steak, medium rare, as well as the garlic bread and chocolate mud cake and blue margarita (same price as regular margarita, just with blue curaçao added) and cosmopolitan. Little pricey but EVERYTHING was really good. Black napkins were gorgeous and super absorbent as well!!
One of the best seafood chowders I've ever tasted! Not only were ALL our meals exceptional in taste, the size was more than expected too. Fantastic place with reasonable prices. Also loved the booth style seating and cosy gally atmosphere. Will certainly be back.
