Review The Esplanade - Auckland Central

Maggie Chen
Delicious food with fresh ingredients. An awesome local restaurant right in front of the beautiful Eastern Beach. A nice place for many locals.

We thought this place was a real gem. We hadn't been here since 2016! The menu had a lot of items and we were spoilt for choice. For a lunchtime the place became very busy. The food was really tasty and a delight. We can't wait to come again.

Beachfront was absolutely serene. Dishes were well-prepared, although they didn’t come out as appetizers and entrees as we expected. They came out all at once after a little bit of a wait, which was a shame as we were quite hungry. We also had to order our food at the bar rather than at the table which was a touch inconvenient. The ramekins topped with cheese on the “Seafood Surprise” were the best bite of the night.

Lovely restaurant! Good quality food and the staff there have amazing manners. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to couples looking for a fine place for a date night, they have a lot of wines there for you to choose. As for younger members, the chocolate milkshake is amazing! It has a good ocean view so after you eat you can take some nice photos to post on your social media. 😂 The food there is mostly suited for adults, but the beef salad, fish & chips and the carbonara is a great choice for those who don’t like fancy food. Protip: Bring a camera along! You will be captured by the stunning views outside.

We had some fish 🐠 and chips 🍟 for lunch today It wasn't the best, we expected more for the amount we paid. A bigger battered fish would have done the job, our tummies were filled even though. It's a lovely place to have a drink and look at the view. Overall a lovely place. Just a bit overpriced. 😊💕

We wish we had found this earlier in our stay as we only got to have 2 meals but what a great experience. The food was excellent, fresh and the quality 5 star.

Just very good food and survice. And Grandma whose birthday we were celebrating also loved it as she couldnt eat it all and took her leftovers for her nights diner.

Went here for dinner with a group of 7. Easy parking on street out front. Staff were nice and attentive. All meals came out together and within a reasonable time, which was great. I got the eye fillet steak which was a bit over cooked to my liking so was a letdown as the meal looked amazing when it was first placed in front of me. Everything else was great so would give them another try, but next time ask for rarer steak.

A lovely restaurant across from the beach. We ordered the seafood chowder and duck envelope. Both of them were super delicious. The coffee was ok or maybe just not on my taste. Overall this is definitely a great place to go if you are coming to the beach.

We enjoyed a cracking mid week lunch here. Awesome food and great service. Green curry cream mussels, arancini balls, carbonara and pizza - all good and all available. We will be back!

Nitin and his team were so accommodating to our big birthday party today. The service was so lovely and the team did a great job at getting all the meals out. A great place for an event or just a casual brunch or dinner. Beautiful views.

Had an excellent experience at this restaurant! My coffee tasted delicious, and the food was simply scrumptious. I ordered the Big Breakfast, and my sourdough was perfectly toasted and eggs were delicately poached. My friend had the seafood surprise, which was very fresh and baked just right. Overall, highly recommend visiting this place.

We had a really nice dinner here. The menu offers pizza and burgers as well as classics and roast meals. The service was excellent friendly and attentive.
