My favourite place to eat and drink! So reliable on service and quality/creativity of food. Never had a bad meal here and we go a lot! So great to have a bar/restaurant that is doing something different in Howick, we will always recommend it. Well worth the dollars for consistently great experiences! Now to convince you to cater my wedding Luke �
The pick of the bars in East Auckland. Great food, good selection of craft beers and most importantly, fantastic bar staff, particularly Molly who looks after us every Friday. Highly recommend to all.
ordered few things to share and tasted great. just the meat inside the Bao bun was too dried. keen to try out other food next time.
Loved the food here!!! Fantastic specials too! The red wine I had from Rioja (if you normally drink pinot) was bloody delicious.
We had the cauliflower, polenta chips, Bao, fish slider and chicken tulips. All were amazingly tasty, hot, fresh and with plenty of sauce. Awesome bar in Howick, can’t wait to come back
A nice bar in Howick that serves tapas style food to share. The tapas menus are located on the wall but they do have a standard menu with drinks and bar snacks. We grabbed a few things to share. Of the lot that we tried, I quite liked the scallops with the sweet potato puree. The other items like the smoked ribs and the chicken tulips were also nice.
I have a fairly big appetite so I thought that the portions were small, but that is expected for tapas. It would be a nice place for snacks but probably not for a full meal as it could get quite pricey.
Have been going here for couple of years and have never had a bad meal. Fab friendly service as well. Love how they change part of their menu every couple of weeks or so.
A gem in Howick, we had scallops, the squid, and the chicken baos. All super delicious but just wish the serving sizes were bigger for the price you pay. But on Monday nights they do have a dinner deal (more info on their website)
The girl serving us was so kind and friendly, introduced us to how The Corner serves shared plates and explained what they had.
Consistently outstanding service, food, atmosphere & beverages.
The team here always smiling and prompt.
Sundays live music was a hit with my partner and I we enjoyed the tapas.
Garlic bread here to die for!
Recommend to all!
The staff were super friendly. It was extremely busy but that didn’t put a damper on our wait times. We ordered a variety of tapas to share as there were 6 of us. All came out one better that the other. The goats cheese croquettes were my favourite and the bbq flavoured chicken was my least I think I would have preferred the Siraccha
Went to The Corner tonight as part of a work function and really enjoyed the experience as did my colleagues. Great food, good service and nice atmosphere. Great spot in Howick.
Had lunch with my gf here today, I must say the food was amazing! Service was stellar and I’ll 100% come back, the poutine is an absolute must!!
Oh my what a delightful place, 1st as we walked in we were greeted by lovely and friendly staff. We were given time to study the menu and specials board. Our purpose of the lunch trip was to order a lot of tapas/share foods. Best snacks ever.... a lamb slider I ordered Devine... suttle flavours tasty not over powering. My husband ordered the bao of the day which was Karange chicken which he thoroughly enjoyed,our friends both ordered the chicken taco and enjoyed them. We ordered to share cauliflower bites (AMAZING) Polenta Chips (DEVINE) Squid (YUM), Loaded Wedges with Pulled Pork (BEST EVER) .... We all left so full and impressed, highly recommend and staff & 2IC very good at his job.
In my very humble opinion this is one of the nicer places to enjoy a cocktail in Howick. There is their special cocktails menu but they will also make old favourites. Their black forest Expresso is my go to. The menu has something for everyone on it. We normally order a number of their sides and share because there is a lot of yummy stuff and we want a bit of everything. I highly rate their fries, perfect texture, served hot and crispy. They also have their blackboard special. Worth looking at these before the menu because they are normally pretty good.
Overall a great place. I have been a number of times and will continue to go. If I was going to give it any criticism, they occasionally close early. We have been inside and they have turned people away at 9pm. I am not sure if the reasoning but it’s a bit weird to turn someone away that wants to spend money in your establishment.
I see why this place is always so busy. Went in today being 1st customer of the day (2 of us), the place is run well and the kitchen delivers! Cannot fault them, service, food and atmosphere.
We had Bao Buns, Pork Belly, Green Curry Muscles, Pulled Pork Loaded Fries and beverages...on tap beer is fresh and good!
Will definitely go in again, highly recommended.

Smashing cocktails! The cherry sour was Devine 🍒- $19.50 ea but I just had to have two! I had it without sugar syrup and it was silky smooth yet brightly piquant. The food was just OK - the pork belly was the best dish we sampled with lots of meat and a beautiful balance of flavours but the skin wasn’t crispy and the fat wasn’t rendered off enough to my liking. The scallops were disappointing - the scallop flavour was suspiciously strong and pungent as opposed to subtle and the profile was more salty and oily than light and slightly sweet. The bao were also a bit underwhelming - not bad overall but the karaage batter could have been crispier, darker, more flavourful and there weren’t enough pickled elements to balance the sweet bun and creamy mayo. I prefer a bit of spice, crunch and vinegar - they were bland. The service was absolutely five star 🤌 Our wait person was so attentive, professional and kind. It’s a great atmosphere with beautiful architectural features - if a little cramped. All round great spot to spend a cheeky afternoon sip and bite.
Was pleasantly surprised at the food on offer here. Unfortunately we had a large group of gluten free people with us and they were unable to offer gluten free fries. Pork belly, hawker roll, buttermilk chicken and beef short rib were all a hit. Not a cheap night out but for those of us who could eat gluten we enjoyed the variety. Miniature dessert platter was a bit of a disappointment. Looked better than it tasted.

Great food, and great service and a very large range of drink/special cocktails. There are specials held in the bar depending on the day.
Had a relaxing lunch. Hope the menu will have more chef cook hot food variety instead of fried food.
Went there on a valentine night. The wagyu sliders are awesome! Others dishes are quite common...maybe we will try bao and tacos next time～
Great little spot right on the corner of Howick, nice on a sunny day to sit and look out at the water enjoy a few cocktails and tapas. Prices can be on the high side, depends on what you want. Staff always nice and friendly. Dog friendly outside.
Really well priced food with a great chef. Probably the best value for money gastro pub in howick
