We randomly picked out this place to celebrate my friends birthday today. The place didn't disappoint. The staff who looked after us was Clara, such a lovely host, took care of us from seating to dining up til dessert. It was such a pleasure having her look after us. We wanted to taste their cocktails, we ordered 3 of different flavours and small plates of different food items. Everything tasted. I highly recommend!

The night was great. The food was the best I have had in a long time. Made with care. The only thing was too much brown butter with the flounder.
We had a fantastic server. She had a beautiful accent and took the best care of us. I would recommend this establishment if you want great food and a fantastic atmosphere.

Found this one on a lunch tiki tour around the Tron. Totally recommend the house pasta was gorgeous and a decent serve. The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. Funky little bar and restaurant at the end of a dinky alley. It was a bit pricey, but totally worth it.

True 5 star experience. Not cheap but you get what pay for the food was devine and the service was excellent. The team there was so professional, knowledgeable and welcoming it actually threw me a little as that's no rare.
They helped me order a nice and balanced selection of food and drink pairing. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous restaurant with great ambience to dine in especially if you want to treat someone decent. Price is reasonable for the quality you get. I really enjoyed all the entree, mains and deserts. Well trained staff. Booking is necessary. Look forward to going back soon.

A beautiful, open space with plenty of natural light and fantastic ambience. I’ve found that many menus in NZ have an interesting mix of flavours from a variety of cuisines, and at Mr Pickles it worked well. Everything tasted fresh and was full of flavour. The lamb was especially delicious.

Really nice to eat here. Great tapas and cocktails. A little on the pricier side, but worth the spend for the quality.

Great place to dine in Hamilton! Food was delicious and the service was great. Would return 🙂
Natasha Stephens
Fabulous restaurant with great atmosphere to dine. Price is reasonable for the quality you get. We had a great waiter. However, how our plates were collected was unpleasant. All the dirty dishes were stuck one on top another in front of our faces in two big piles, while sorting the leftovers from the plates... It would be great to finish the experience on the high note.

Great indoor and outdoor spaces, with a view down to the river from the large deck. Modern decor, though being brand new and recently opened helps, and a good menu. It was busy without being crowded on the Friday lunchtime that I visited, I guess the locals haven't found it yet and as it's down a bit of a laneway, it's a little bit hard to find.
Quick service and delicious food, small portion sizes, overall it's well worth a visit.

What a great spot! Enjoyed a fresh cocktail whilst perusing a varied menu of tempting goodies served for sharing if you simply can't make your mind up. Original vegetarian options too and accompanied with pickled carrots, onions and more. The service was above routine as well, we didn't have a booking and tables were tight but we were still made to feel welcome and were well cared for as we waited for a table to come free. There's a large and inviting terrace overlooking the river which I can imagine will sizzle in summer. I'll have to come back!

Enjoyed a visit to Mr Pickles with a friend. An absolutely phenomenal experience. The aged sirloin was cooked to perfection and easily the best beef I've had eating out in Hamilton. Or anywhere else in NZ. The accompanying crackling was excellent and the dessert devine.
Front of house staff were friendly, competent and attentive delivering excellent service. The lighting and environment created a lovely atmosphere for a relaxed conversation.
Drinks were fantastic as well, with cocktails mixed to perfection.
Add into all that that it's very reasonably priced for what it is and you've a winning recipe.
Cannot recommend this highly enough.

Amazing dining experience. The food has a wonderful combination of flavours. I can highly recommend the mushroom plate, the sticky chicken and the goat cheese donuts.

Nice ambience that over looks the Waikato river. Menu is standard staff seemed unhappy?
Chrissy
Always delicious food, best place for charcuterie and a cocktail. Great service and easily the nicest venue in Hamilton. <br/>
Paul Dickson
Unimaginative over seasoned and overpriced food
Tony H
Awesome customer service, excellent food and the espresso martini is to die for! Love the vibe here, this place is a must if you’re in Hamilton!
Simon
Nicely tucked away down an alley but opens up out the back to a nice setting with terraces down to the waikato River walkway. Great food. Busy, but the guys and girls there are really friendly and accommodating.

Walked through town looking for somewhere new. Stumbled upon this place and decided to try itZ Was not disappointed!<br/><br/>Small dishes designed to share.<br/><br/>- Gnocchi was lovely and tasty. Good portion size.<br/>- Calamari (saucy boys) 10/10 dish!<br/>- Ribs - loved the texture and flavour.<br/>- Fish & co. Was the only dish that we found underwhelming. Flavour wasn’t punching to the level the rest.<br/><br/>Lovely ambiance & service. Would definitely come back<br/>

Great little venue tucked down the back of the riverview apartment block. Outdoor area is amazing in summer. I doors heated in winter. Tried the lamb kofta. Beefcheek croutons. Saucy boiz and sticky chicken. Craft beer selection ok but not expansive.

I'm coeliac, along with a couple of other dietary issues, so eating out somewhere new is always a little nerve-wracking, but the guys here were so incredibly helpful, and didn't make me feel like a bother at all for having to re-adjust the cheese platter to suit my finicky tummy. Gorgeous atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food was 10/10. I was actually so confused to see the rating so low for them, that it forced me to sign up just to sing their praises :) Would absolutely recommend!

Started off my meal with the fried chicken. Unfortunately I found it extremely disappointing and left 3 huge pieces of my food. When someone puts schechwan on the menu I am hitting expecting some heat but all I got was a sickeningly sweet taste. Used the rose lemonade to wash the taste out of my mouth. ordered the lemon curd for desert which was a little better than my entree but I wouldn’t order it again :-( the mousse was quite nice though and that’s why I have this place a 2. When I was paying the bill I was asked how the food was...... not the right time to ask at all!!!! Felt like if I said anything then they would have thought I was trying to get a discount....

Had a great experience here! Our waiter was super friendly, we had a great table outside with a view of the river and the decor inside was very on-trend. I had the scrambled eggs on toast w/ relish which was delicious and only $12! Also had the banana bread which was yummy also but wished the portion size had been bigger. My friend had the haloumi salad which was yum but she later realised that they had forgotten to put bacon in it which was on the menu. Other than that, would recommend this place!
Sam Samson
Great food and awesome setting.<br/>I love this sort of dining and the selection is well thought out and offers some real differenc s from the usual offering around town. <br/>Fantastic to be able to see the river can’t wait to try more from the menu, well done!!
