Popped in for lunch. Used to come here frequently but its been a few years. Wonderful staff who arranged vegan meals for a friend. Tried the reuben they had on special quite good. Really came for the gravy chips. Classic!!
Dinner for two, on a quiet December night. I love the decor, a mixture of rustic industrial? Such a cool setup with an awesome outside area. The service was good, very polite and tentative. We ordered the pork belly which was pretty good. A big serving with lots of yummy mash and coleslaw. The chips with gravy was good but the cheese and garlic flatbread was delicious. We shared a fruit crumble for dessert which was ok. At least it was freshly made which doesn't happen often.
Nice experience . Went once with 4 others . Portions were a bit small but tasty enough to enjoy . Appreciated the service . Thanks a bunch a
Good food. Good beer. Good service. Good atmosphere at a reasonable price. Do yourself a favour and check it out if you’re looking for that relaxed place to eat drink and relax.
I got the beef burger there with fries on the side, it was a good size for its price during lunch. The food looked very pleasant but it was quite an average burger. The atmosphere is quite nice and in a place that isn't so busy so can enjoy the quiet surrounding although there is music. Service was quick and the waitress that served us was very friendly.
Having lived in Hamilton a couple of years I thought I found all the best eateries but i hadn't come across Joe's garage before. Anyways, we came here for brunch with some girlfriends I had the pancakes with cream and jam ... oh and a burger lol The food was divine!!! Pancakes were nice and fluffy with whipped cream, the burger was full of flavour with the freshest meat. Staff were friendly price wise... it was affordable for the service you got and the food you received.
Shrewd, clever decor - it has taken time and care. Splendid, friendly staff. Great food ... Especially Pizzas. It has 'special' events scheduled. I'll be back. 😄
Had a casual dine! Wasnt the best but wasnt the worst! Average customer service. However, one time this lady that was serving us never gave us serviettes with our meals which was odd. She also sounded very monotone, as if she wasn't showing compassion to her customers?
Upon entering the place, it has a very chill vibe to it. Staff were accomodating and always ensured that everything was fine. Ordered the Friday Flash and the New York Baked Cheesecake. The meals were served promptly and generous serving sizes. They were very filling and delectable. Definitely worth the price and coming back to.
Casual dining food tasty but nothing spectacular!, nice atmosphere, clean snd good parking available. Prices are medium to high, not somewhere i would run back to
Our meals were nice, but not overly flavoured. It felt a little underwhelming. Service was friendly, but not very polished.
As I was new in town ,I really wanted to try a good pizzeria .And this one met with everything I want ♥️ Good food ,Good atmosphere,Good service 👏
Nb - Dont forget to get the garlic butter with pizza 😉
Had a party of 6, visiting from the U.S. Great experience. Food was excellent, as was the service. Server recommended two wines: Durvillea Marlborough Pinot Noir and Maren Hawkes Bay Riesling. Great wines - loved them both. All said, we really enjoyed the evening.
Absolutely delicious food, lovely staff. Highly recommend
Best Italian food we've had in New Zealand. We had the pasta special, lasagne and a pizza, and they were all excellent authentic Italian food. Great service, plus excellent Italian beer, a must visit if you are in Hamilton.
Our service from Tracy was great. Food came out fast and was absolutely delicious. First time here, and I know I’ll be back.
Excellent service, great food. No problems.
Claudio, the host was very professional. Moved us to a window table when one came available. Highly recommend.
This is the second time I've been to this cafe for dinner.
The last night the restaurant was fully booked when I entered instead of turning me away. Asked if I would be happy to serve it the bar for a meal since I was by myself. I was more than happy to do this I think that this was just an incredible level of service considering most places would have just said sorry Asics available and showed me the door.
Put on trial are garlic bread covered with olive oil marinated tomatoes and basil was wonderful followed by medium rare sirloin steak covered in mushrooms with a side of chips and seasonal vegetables.
The vegetables in this main dish were superb. They were the best vegetables I have tasted with a meal for quite some time.
As a coincidence I ended up in this restaurant by mistake I was supposed to go to the Italian restaurant next door and try their steak. I will have to go there tomorrow.
Highly recommended and I will be back for a third time.
Omg, this is something fantastic. It feels like little Italia in Hamilton. Such a delicious cuisine. We've got a brilliant pizza with a great balanced taste and pasta with a fabulous sauce.
Book a table ahead:)
Good food, but quite overpriced. Anyway, it's waaaaaaaaay better than the other Italian restaurant we went to here in Hamilton (Portofino - worst restaurant I've been to in NZ - this place is outrageous). So, I haven't tried Adriana's yet, but, so far, Caffe' Centrale is the best Italian in Hamilton in my opinion.
