Lovely place. Great coffee. Top quality service. Good food. Friendly, happy, and informative staff, beautiful views. Very popular. Definitely make reservations. Go there, it's just a wonderful place to enjoy a good meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

This is a great pub right on the waterfront with really good seafood. It is what they are known for and it was served up and enjoyed.

Great food variety and quite affordable. The food tastes great as well. Parking is a little tough. But you will definitely enjoy the drive. Try to go in the afternoon, rake a walk along the beach and then go for dinner. Excellent place for small parties. The people who work there are wonderful. Good place for children and good children mwnu as well.

So good we went back twice in a week! I absolutely loved the food here. The seafood platter is ridiculously good value for money, especially the large one. It has a bit of everything: fried battered fish, pan-fried fish, salt and pepper squid, mussels, clams, scallops, and ceviche. All delicious. I also had the shellfish bowl, which was mussels, clams and scallops cooked in a creamy broth, with a couple of pieces of bread and butter for soaking the sauce. I'd also recommend an extra cheese roll to dip or some chips to soak in it (I'm weird, I know). On our second visit we also tried the chowder and that was excellent. 100% recommend, just so good! Go and then enjoy the resulting food coma!

Lovely atmosphere Warm open fire The food is absolutely delicious. The Seafood Chowder and Platter was out of the world. A dining experience to remember.

Best seafood I had in New Zealand. Highly recommend bluff oysters and seafood platter. Very cosy and beautiful outdoor dining and also kids friendly. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would see this is my favourite restaurant in New Zealand!

Just had dinner here on New Year's Eve in a group of 4. The service was the best we have had in a long time. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. Couldn't recommend enough.

What a delightful, unexpected find. We had the most amazing lunch of a shared seafood platter. The quality and selection was beautiful both in presentation and taste. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The wine and lemonade on tap were also very good

Spoilt rotten on my 60th BD🎂 - a fitting large seafood 🦐 🐠 platter with a sweet Riesling & Cremé Brulé & Irish coffee 👌🏻 Superb hosts in the homely atmosphere topped our visit. 😜

Delicious fish and chips enjoyed by all of us. Fish cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere. It was busy and we were warned that it might take some time to get our meals. That was ok as we were in no rush.

The seafood platter is to die for. And the service 5star. I'll be back next time I'm in town from Melbourne.

Best meal we have had in a very long time. Totally rate the service and the meals were Devine.

Sadly we were served substandard meals which had been sitting in the kitchen for ages (we could see them from our table in the conservatory and we desperately hoped they werent our meals, but others got the same poor service too). The sauce on the steak had a skin and had gone cold. the fish had dried at the edges and was cold. the specialty dish was the maui seafood platter and cost $41 - the clams and scallops and mussels were dried and shrivelled. When we went to pay they admitted our meals were substandard and apologised. But that was it. These meals, which had been left for over 5 minutes,should never have been taken to the table. We advised them when they served them to our table that they were cold too. We werent valued and substandard meals should NEVER be served. Wont be back.

Great little place to eat. Service was nice and informed. Food was great. Had the Green lipped mussels...loved them. My father-in-law was ready to drink the sauce so we ordered more toast. My wife and I both had fish and chips and it was great. The kids loved their kid meals. Well done Carey's.
