Amazing! I loved it all. The in-house gelato really finished the meal off nicely. All the flavours worked really well together and it was all lovely and fresh. A bit pricey but I think it is worth it. Definitely will be back!
Beautiful smiling staff with wonderful conversation ❤️
The food was gorgeous and tasted even better.
This is quickly becoming our favorite place to dine.
The lunch we had was excellent, beautifully cooked food and really friendly attentive staff. It was a pretty pleasant experience altogether, and the restaurant's location is lovely. Also close by there is a Blue Penguin Colony place where you can go and see some penguins, sometimes even for free if they come past the gate!
Dinner for 4. We all had something different. The food was so delicious! The staff are happy and very eager to please, great service! Highly recommend Del Mar!
Our meal was meant to be a surprise and after reading recent reviews I was wondering just what sort of surprise it was to be.
We ordered the platter to be shared ( in our case 5) and it arrived promptly and was full of delicious surprises.
Mains were two squid, two hot pots and fish & chips.
The squid was absolutely first class, as good as any I have had and the rest of the table ( 2 who are in the hospitality business) were more than happy.
We didn’t need a desert as we had eaten to our full.
The ambience is good with the portable dividers full of greenery giving some privacy and the service were very helpful.
Recommend.
Great Dinner, rib eye is fantastic. We ordered ice cream in the end, and just walked out then saw penguins.
A really beautiful restaurant with a stunning view! Despite not having a booking for dinner the staff were really friendly and fitted my sister and I in. The menu is obviously very seafood based (which I love!) and the meals were absolutely divine. A great selection of meals and drinks for everyone.
The staff were really attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend to visitors or locals alike!
AMAZING service by Stevie. Yummy food, seemed a touch expensive for us townies but so worth it, great food, good drinks, with outstanding service and beautiful view, what more could you ask for?! 💙 We had a booking for 6pm and they were very accommodating to us coming in earlier. We sat in the outside (covered) area and it was really toasty and warm with the outdoor heaters on! We even saw seals relaxing on the rocks. Location is perfect, right beside the penguin colony made it super easy to go and experience that, after dinner!
Great food, friendly staff, really nice night. Only comment was that the staff took their time clearing tables and large amount of dirty glasses sat at the bar for a long time. Apart from that fantastic meal.
What a delightful little find. OAMARU on a Sunday!!! Awesome vibe, awesome service, awesome beer on tap, (buzzing after the first pint of McLeod's pale ale- winning)... but the food- OMFG the FOOD... it is absolutely delicious. Oamaru!!! Wow. The beers on tap, the authentically made gelato, the fresh seafood... the fresh seafood, the pizza. I love food and I'm happy. Service, vibe, beers, food...I am moving in. What a wicked way to spend a Sunday. Without a doubt 5 stars xxx
