Nice quiet place to go to with friends. Used the GrabOne coupon to go here which also comes with valet parking (takes away the stress of parking in town). Great service, food nicely cooked

Pleasantly surprised at the restaurant after reading all the very bad reviews. We got a grab one deal for 4 people - 3 course meal for each person.
For the entrees we had the pimento mushrooms, seafood hot pot (which looked like a chowder) the lamb and the shrimp with guacamole. All the dishes were very good portion sizing for entrees (on the larger side). Only downside would be my shrimp entree was a bad take on a shrimp cocktail and I felt it wasn’t the nicest tasting dish.
For the mains 3 of us had the salmon in filo and another had the Moroccan chicken. Again sizing was massive and very filling. The salmon dish was really tasty and can’t fault it. the chicken dish was a tad bland, but otherwise still a good meal.
For dessert we ordered 2 tiramisu cakes, the poached pears and the sticky date. Desserts were nothing special but were a nice way to finish the meal. I wish my sticky date was heated up though as that is one of the appeals of the dish.
The service was attentive and friendly. One of waitresses was very on to it, making us aware of the beef jus on the lamb (which we couldn’t eat) which we wouldn’t have known otherwise.
Very surprised compared to the reviews but glad it was a good experience.
So I was recently taken here by my boyfriend for my birthday. The staff here were so friendly and kind, in particularly the manager Anil! My boyfriend had asked them to put a candle in the cake, but they had somehow forgotten. When Anil saw it, he immediately took it to the kitchen to put the candle in and began singing happy birthday. They had also written "happy birthday" on the plate as well. He was very considerate and friendly.
I had ordered seafood hot pot for my entree and marinated chicken breast for my main. My tiramisu cake was lovely. The chicken was slightly overcooked but that seems to be the only downside of this place. I really really enjoyed.

Using our GrabOne vouchers, we parked using the valet parking and headed on over to the reataurant.
It was quiet but quaint. The deal was one shared entree, two mains and two desserts per voucher (we had two vouchers).
So for entrees we ordered the Chicken Chambola and Chicken Vietnamese Springrolls. Both tasted amazing and looked beautiful!
For mains we ordered the Beef & Reef (which we found delicious), Italian Chicken Breast (presented beautifully and tasted equally the same) and the Pork Belly (with a delicious pork meat but the crackling was absolutely disappointing! It was rubbery instead of crunchy and had no flavour!).
For dessert, we ordered the 3x scoop ice cream, Apple Pie with Ice Cream, Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream and Cheesecake.
All in all, the service here was great, food was just above average but I do see plenty of room for improvement in the Pork Belly section. Definitely worth coming here if you are from out of Auckland as it is conveniently near the heart of Auckland CBD.
Brought a 3 course meal deal for 2 off grabone for my husband and I and was pleasantly surprised! The cob loaf looked, smelt and tasted delicious and was paired well with the onion marmalade. The Lamb shank was falling off the bone, super tasty and had a good portion size and the Italian Chicken which my husband ordered was just right. The classic quad apple pie and chocolate mud cake was a great finish to the evening. It was nice to not worry about parking either. The staff were super friendly. Great evening.
Okays so I got a voucher off grabone before I read the reviews... I read the reviews and was so disheartened.
However.. on arrival the staff were lovely. The place was clean and ambiance was fresh.
Next to Pullman this humble place had a lot to offer. Ordered a curd hung chicken to a shank to an apple crumble..
The lamb was falling off the bone and the food wasn't overwhelming.. it was just right.
We had to wait for the dessert a bit otherwise everything was lovely. Will definitely visit again.
Food was average, my pork belly was a bit dry and the steak sauce my partner had tasted weird n was so much it covered any sides on there. Apart from that i would give 10 stars if it were possible for the MUSIC!!!! the awesome playlist or CD you have which was the ultimate highlight!! Tried shazaming it however speakers were out of reach. Was rythmy with a techno twist and rather unique to anything ive heard before. Well done team!
Me and my husband went there 4 days ago for our wedding anniversary, we had the Groupon voucher for a dinner and we had breakfast too the second day during our stay at the Quadrant hotel. The food was well presented, tasty and good amount. The service is amazingly good and food comes quickly, staff members were polite and I asked them for some ice they got it quickly. At the end the they surprised us with a beautiful plate with mud cake and ice cream on the top with candle for celebrating our wedding anniversary and that was very cute. I would definitely come back again.
Improved services. Well done team. Keep up the great work. I think you guys have achieved alot in the last few years

Me & my partner came for dinner on the 24-06-16 for my birthday.. We had a groupon voucher also which was shared entree, 2 mains & 2 dessert's for a good price. & straight after he purchased it he had seen alot of bad reviews about the food, service, location etc. But because we had purchased it already was too late to turn back. Any way we came to the restaurant thinking the worst, but when we got there we were greeted by a nice indian man from the bar (very friendly, even had a good convo with my bf), he asked us to sit in the bar & wait cause our table wasnt ready (which was fine with us), he gave us drinks, kept coming to see if we needed anything then 10mins took us to our table. The lady that took our order was also very friendly, felt alil bad cause i couldnt quite understand her but we got there in the end lol.
So we ordered & we decided to get the Cob Loaf & hummus for our shared Entree, it took around 5-10mins which was cool. It looked amazing & smelt even better & myslef & my bf must say it was amazing, one of the best garlic bread we've had, taste was great & was presented nicely. 10/10.
Our mains came out 10mins later, bf got the beef & reef, & for myself the italian chicken, both of them were well presented. Partner did say his steak was a little over cooked then what he asked for but still enjoyed it very much, it was still very tender & very nice. My chicken was cooked perfect, wasn't dry & all veges were cooked great! Both of us agreed that all flavours on the plates went well together, great portion sized, nicely presented & definitely made us full (which was awesome). Over all we both enjoyed our mains very much. 9/10.
Desserts we both ordered mud cake, with vanilla ice cream. My partner enjoyed his that much he finished his in like 5mins lol. I also enjoyed it but because i was too full i couldn't finish mine 😢 .. The cake was alil dry in some parts & might of needed to have abit more ice cream. But was still very tasty. 7/10 ..
Moving on, the only down fall was the space it is tiny but in saying that it didn't stop us from enjoying our night. The elevators didnt bug us at all either!!
All the bad reviews worried us for nothing, Our night over all was definitely a great night, staff were very friendly, food & service was great, & both me and my partner enjoyed it, we're glad we ended up coming to try it out for ourselves, & we've recommended it to our family & friends. Thanks for making my birthday a good one. Will definitely be back again ☺☺☺
The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was great and we had a grab one voucher so it was also very cost effective. The restaurant has a busy walkway next to it so that was the only thing letting them down.
Top class 3 course meal. The food was as divine as good as top 10 The Sugar Club. The seafood melted in mouth. The meat fell off the bone and the desert so yummy and refreshing. Will be revisiting to try the other menu. The staff amazing and so professional looking
The service they offer is great, nice friendly waitresses and staff, they always refill our water and asked us if the food was good. I accidentally dropped my fork once and the waitress was kind to give me another one, Nice attention to detail. The food was alright, the entree and the dessert are amazing but the main can be more improved, I ordered a lamb and the lamb was a bit on the cooked side, and some parts are more cooked than the other. But overall I recommend this restaurant, the food are pricey but it's worth it when there is discount or when you have a coupon or voucher.
Excellent service, delicious meals. Not typical style restaurant, but the food and service is better than most "typical" Auckland restaurant. Definitely go again.
Very friendly and proactive staff, food is good and a nice relaxing space for people going on dates or a group of friends and family having a meal. There's a restaurant section and a bar section right at the opposite end of each other. It can get very noisy as the elevator is right next to the restaurant and lots of people checking in and pulling their luggage.
We had the Grab One voucher for a 3 course meal & parking. There were good choices for each course, friendly & efficient staff, our compliments to the chef. Our food had depth of flavour & sufficient size that after dessert we were nicely full. Definitely going again! Forgot to get photos but food beautifully presented.
We were given a 3 course dinner voucher as a gift. Both of us were very impressed with our meal. Each course was beautifully presented and a taste treat. Lovely staff and the free parking was an added bonus. We will definitely be back and definitely will recommend to others
The place is easily located, valet parking is next to the front door, there isn't much air flow into the dining area and it is next to a hallway (to the hotel?) Other than that which most people are complaining about the food is amazingly great. I was given a huge steak and my partner chicken, we tried the shrimp which was nice, the lamb, which was also nice and the deserts were great. Other than the above mentioned things, this place is great for price (If you use Groupon).
After reading one negative review I was a little unsure of what to expect. As it turned out, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment that I spent at this restaurant. From the moment we arrived we were given 5 star service. I would certainly go back again to enjoy their excellent food and the helpful staff that made it an enjoyable evening for both my wife and I. I would definitely recommended it.
