Mr Toms is damn good hun. Went here for the first time and it was so damn good. I got the Mango NO.5 mocktail and it was so fresh and tasty I loved it. For dinner I got the Karaage Chicken and it's the best I've ever had, the chicken was perfectly cooked and had a lot of flavour and the sauce it came with was delightful. For dessert my family and I all shared a mango panna cotta , apple tart and a chocolate mousse. The desserts were all delicious they really pulled through. The staff were super friendly and chatty and the actual restaurant was super modern and trendy, there was also live music the night I went and the lady singing just brought all round good vibes to the restaurant. Can't wait to come back here again! x

The waiters were very polite and accommodating. We were sat in the restaurant part but it was very noisy due to a birthday party. They apologised and seated us in the bar area until the big group were gone. The food was really lovely. I had the snapper which was just devine. Nice sauce and veggies. The fish taco was a good start. Great decor.

Food was absolutely delicious! Karaage chickenā€™s so crispy and pretty big servings. The fish taco was refreshing too. The steak burgerā€™s too good, love the sauce and very tasty. Their cocktails were awesome! I enjoyed my dining experience in here :)

I love Mr Toms. And not even just because they gave me a $100 bar tab last summer. Mr Toms has it all - itā€™s the perfect location for sunny Sunday arvo drinks with your girlfriends, or a nice dinner out with your partner. Whether youā€™re just looking for bar snacks & a couple of cocktails, or a 3 course meal with wines to match, Mr Toms is always top of my ā€œwhere should we go for that occasion?ā€ list. I canā€™t fault them - Iā€™ve never had a bad experience (and Iā€™ve been their a fair few times now). And even if something has gone wrong (like the time one of the waiters spilt candle wax on my partners sunglasses, which, letā€™s be honest, was mostly my partners fault for blowing the candle out anyway) - they were so great about it - super apologetic, cleaned them up for him and took a couple of his beers off the bill.
I donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever not love Mr Toms :)
Although I do wish they would bring back their duck fat potato bites - they were incredible!

This was my 3rd time at Mr Toms. Had a great Sunday lunch! Loved having the heaters outside to warm me up on a cold afternoon. Service was prompt and friendly. We got the Smoked Mushroom Pizza, Arancini Balls, and the Rhubarb Fizz Cocktail, all exceeding expectations. Will definitely be back for more šŸ˜›šŸ˜›

Service was seamless before we even hit the restaurant! I received a call midday on Saturday confirming my reservation; this is exactly the kind of attentive and personal service every restaurant needs to make diners feel welcome!

I've been eyeing out MR TOMS on instagram (we follow each other) for the longest time, initially drawn by their aesthetic and famous cocktails.

Upon walking into the restaurant, we were greeted by a handsome lad wearing a striped shirt who escorted us to our table in the Kitchen section downstairs. Four focused chefs were working away in the open kitchen at the back. The blue-themed cushions and walls complimented the crisp furniture, lit up by the natural light peering in from the overhead window.

From the Sharing Menu we got: Lamb Ribs, Hoisin Pulled Duck Lettuce Cups and Pork Belly.

From the Salads we got the Tandoori Chicken Salad.

From Mains we got: Duck Breast and Crispy Market Fish. (Yes this was all between 2 people, the waitress had to double check haha!)

For drinks we tried an array of their cocktails, namely: Coco Colada, Life's A Peach, Summertime Spritz and Ponsonby Fruit Cup.

Every dish was a winner for me! Food arrived incredible fast and straight from the kitchen.

- Pork Belly; three succulent chunks of pork belly sat in a bed of creamy yellow pumpkin and ginger puree. The citrusy Slaw on the side added the perfect crunch and tanginess. The skin was crisp but not greasy, while the belly itself was cooked to absolute perfection. The Jus pulled everything together.

- Lamb Ribs fell right off the bone! Nicely seasoned, cooked well and the Salad complimented the flavours intricately.

- Duck Lettuce Cups was a delight on the palate! The strong flavours of the duck as complimented by the crispness of the bean sprouts and vinaigrette.

- Crispy Market Fish was cooked to perfection; tender and juicy and the skin was crispy in all the right places. Cauliflower puree and baby carrots were soft, creamy and the fish cake was a very nice touch!

- Duck Breast was faultless, perfectly cooked. The elegant scoop of black rice on the side was a very unique touch! Bok Choy was soft and juicy and the subtle berry flavour of the blackcurrant jus intricately lifts the flavours up.

- Tandoori salad was well-seasoned, with juicy pulled chicken pieces, avocado, pumpkin, lettuce, corn and tomato gently tossed in mint yoghurt. It was light, refreshing and wholesome.

The drinks deserve a photoshoot! I forgot to comment how we had the hardest time deciding because every cocktail sounded so good! Ponsonby Fruit Cup is a very interesting mix of fruity and almost Coke. Favourite would have been the Summertime Spritz, recommended if fruity flavours are your thing! Coco Colada and Life's A Peach leave a stronger aftertaste on your taste buds.

We scraped everything clean off the plates because it was that good! Service was impeccable and everything ran smoothly. Would definitely be back to try the rest of the menu and cocktails!

Very pleased with the overall service and food here. Ambiance is awesome cool spot and location, jut came for some drinks and a nibble after a festival. The waiter we had was the man! Very friendly, helpful, cracked a couple jokes, would come back just for the service!
Cocktails are delicious, well presented but pricey. It is Ponsonby after all. Chips and sauce yum! Pizza very good, usually not so keen on the plainer pizzas with not many toppings but this particular was very good.
Will be back for a bigger meal and drinks at the start of a night out in Ponsonby Iā€™m sure.

We were looking for a nice Italian place in Ponsonby to celebrate a special occasion and we were glad we ate at Elmoā€™s. We ordered the Margherita and truffle pizze, and the cacio e pepe, lasagna, and spaghetti alle vongole. The flavours were complex yet mellow and I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner. The staff were quick and efficient and we left feeling satisfied. Will probably return again to try out the rest of the menu.

Decent pasta pizza bar. Iā€™m not the biggest pasta fan but this place was alright. Nothing super outstanding, as expected standard cost of pasta for portion if not a bit more on the generous side compared to some out there, and very definitely al dente/tougher pasta than the super squishy stuff Iā€™ve had so enjoyed that. Flavours were complex in the vodka rigatoni so carried us through/wouldā€™ve liked a meat or some other component-that may just be my Asian side coming through wanting diff side dishes. Clam spaghetti was yum, good selection of clams, simple pasta to accompany-sauce was much more mild compared to the spicy rigatoni, I personally wouldā€™ve like more garlic to come through. Potato skins were as crisp as they could be I guess, extra crisp-ness definitely wouldā€™ve have been bad at all. Good sauce though. Definitely love the interior and the extension downstairs with the extra seating and first time having to go up some ā€˜steepā€™ stairs to a bathroom.

We had the Margherita pizza, potato skins, meatballs, garlic flatbread, truffle shuffle pizza, spicy rigatoni alla vodka, and spaghetti cacio e pepe. We loved the potato skins and rigatoni! The meatballs come in 4 and are a pretty small portion and taste average, so I'd recommend trying other sharing dishes instead. Service was incredible and staff were very friendly and helpful. We were also given olive oil, chill flakes, and tongs for sharing pasta. Bathrooms are on the second floor up some steep stairs, people with mobility issues should keep that in mind :-)

WOW!! We came here for bottomless brunch for my birthday and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely devine, the aperol spritz were flowing and the service was second to none! All the staff were so friendly and VERY attentive, always offering to top up our drinks. Itā€™s quite hard to find good service around these days but Elmoā€™s staff were a 10/10! Highly recommend! Cannot wait to come back!

One of the best Italian food in Auckland! Amazing sauce with great flavours on perfectly cooked pasta. The truffle Shuffle Pizza was also top-notch. We had Cacio e Pepe Spaghetti alle Vongole Truffle Shuffle Pizza Anchovy Flat Bread Pesto Burrata Potato Skin My only small feedback is that the tables were rather small to fit the four of us and all our dishes (which we shared) and our drinks.

Been here so many times and canā€™t get enough of the Honey Pizza! Their pizza is crunchy and flavourful, and exiting combinations! The entrees are good as well especially the crudo and calamari! Highly recommend to order this to your office so you can have a taste of all flavours. My Top 3 must try below šŸ•Discovery of honey šŸ• Hawaii not šŸ• Insta-ham

Wow, we might even say some of the best Italian food weā€™ve had in a long time. Got to get the burrata & anchovy flatbread to start - non negotiable. Pizzas weā€™re sold too! Shout out to the great service from the Yorkshire lad!

You have to eat the pizza when you get here. Note, if you're ordering the pizzas for the kids, the size is the same as the adult size. My son could get through his but my younger one only got through half so we boxed the rest. The pasta with clams was amazing. Al dente pasta. Atmosphere - in the heart of ponsonby in a very cozy Italian theme. Great for couples or by the pizza oven with families
