Craig and I regularly dine at the Pierside and always are blown away by the chef's expertise quite the hidden gem, the staff are very friendly and accommodating providing great service.
Took our neighbour out for dinner to celebrate her 72 birthday. Had a great time, food was lovely. We even took our own birthday cake and staff were fine with this, even lit the candles and made sure we had extra plates etc. Waitress was so friendly. We all had very yummy meals. Thank you so much. We will be back.
I found the place to be a nice quiet atmosphere which i found pleasing for a change food was amazing will be returning in the future good job
Rustic charm and friendly service make this a fun place to visit. It's a pub style atmosphere (so don't expect any fancy decor) with jukebox and pool table, but still a fairly comprehensive menu. The toasted ciabatta sandwich was fantastic (one of the best) as was the caesar salad. If you are after a relaxed fun meal with the locals in a boisterous venue close to the beach at New Brighton and the awesome new kids playground then this is it.
Had a fantastic meal here last night. Service was friendly and helpful. Food was so good! Compliments to the Chef for a perfect steak. We will definitely be coming back
Really enjoying the menu these days - lovely food, beautifully cooked and a nice variety of choices available at reasonable prices. The best Eggs Benedict in town I reckon!
Love coming here on those sunny but windy days so you can enjoy the warmth and beach view without the cool! Always lovely staff and always busy which is a good sign to me! Kid friendly! Which is perfect they have plenty of toys to keep kids entertained an scoop icecream to keep the kids cool! Will continue to come here for coffee after my library visits( which happens to be right next door ;) )
My and my partner went out for dinner on Tuesday. Really pleased with the meals. We ordered the $15 steaks witch clearly stated that it's a 150g steak as we were not too hungry.it was delicious. Had it with pepper sauce that tasted like it was made fresh to order. Yum yum .definitely going back.grwat food ,reasonable prices and a great service and atmosphere.
Went to the pier and had a beautiful steak eggs and chips,
The staff were awesome and friendly..Great atmosphere ,a real lovely place.
Would reccommend The Pier side to everyone
have had meals in the past and different experiences. but last visit it was excellent. lovely waiter and food was good. had the ribs and partner also had the ribs. a bit to much sauce on potatoe wedges but ribs were done well.
Dined at Pierside last night with 4 other friends.
The service was great with an extremely happy waiter who shared jokes and was overall, fantastic at his job. Atmosphere was awesome.
I ordered Ribeye Steak served with veges and chips, which was absolutely beautiful and the presentation of all the meals was great.
There was a variety of food ordered and everyone was rapt with their meals.
Just annoyed I had no room left for dessert as they looked amazing also.
Compliments to the chef and his team of staff for an overall excellent dining experience.
I soooo recommend Pierside Café and am already looking forward to going back.
Went to Pierside on Mother's Day for lunch. We all ordered something different. I had the steak sandwich on ciabatta bread without Mushroom Sauce. The flavours were awesome. Swapped out my chips for my daughters salad. Very Happy I did as it was fabulous. Other meals at the table were devoured. I recommend Pierside.
Restaurant was super busy with diners in the courtyard, main bar and the restaurant. Kitchen staff did an awesome job to get the food out with such large number of diners. We will be back. Keep up the great job.
Awesome place, took my parents here for some lunch and they absolutely loved it, great customer service, the lady was lovely and looked after is well 😊 just no outdoor heating or we would've stayed longer, highly recommended place from me 💞 delicious food!!! Platter for 4 is amazing and they have chicken nibbles with no bones in them 😳😋💞 calamari is delicious and so were the nachos!!! Absolutely love this place and we will be back again for more delicious food 😍
Went to eat with my Grandpa. He enjoyed what looked to be a delicious breakfast Sandwhich and I enjoyed the Oceansider which has chicken bacon in a ciabatta bread. The place has a nice view and I will be returning. Thanks for everything. Oh I also enjoyed a kale smoothie which was bomb.
Nice dinner out with family,
A shame the menu has changed and there's no pork belly and no beef schnitzel but pretty good meal all round. Lovely staff 👍🏼
An unpretentious place to have a drink and eat some fabulous food. The food business (Hang Ten) has been a wonderful addition. The vegetarian burger is the best in town.
not sure about their food, but the beer and service is surely good. But the seats and outdoor place can be better cleaned and taken care of.
Under-appreciated beachside local in a sunny location. Better now that food is available again.
I have never been here before. Bar maid went the extra mile to help us with my mother inlaw. they cooked us a meal that wasn't on menu. Very lovely welcome service. Thank you . Keep up the great work
Took a big group for birthday celebration. Friendly staff, quick service. Food portions were huge and we had to take doggy bags home. Burgers, seafood and ribs. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Will be back
WOW ... Roast of the day "Pork Belly" yum yum yum! I can never eat a roast meal but these guys NAILED it! Bumma my partner ate all hers so I didnt get the usual left over from hers!!! Oh and the barmaid .. she is exceptional, lovely, friendly .... ;-)))))
We had a superb dinner tonight of beautifully presented pan-fried blue cod on bed of kumera, greens and b blanc followed by exquisite lemon creme brulee.Matt, the chef is passionate about his craft so highly recommend him
