Review Coast - Bites And Brews - Orewa

We were with extended family, some visiting from Australia and we enjoyed our big group being a little separate at a large table. Drinks were bought quickly and the wait staff were observant to later needs. The food was delicious and we didn't wait long. Highly recommend

A good night at Coast. The food was served quickly and very tasty. (Really enjoyed the Tacos) we were a large group and the staff moved tables around to accommodate us. Special thanks to Riley who took it on herself to make sure the whole group had brilliant friendly service. Even acted as photographer so no one missed being in the picture.

Epic food, will be back. Once got attention of staff was OK. Other guests where very distracting but that's not a venue issue as such.

We have no been here twice. Once for dinner and once for breakfast. Both were fantastic! Ended up here after another restaurant let us down. Wonderful find on a whim. There sharing platters are divine!

We were greeted by a polite helpful young team who seated us immediately. The other half and I shared the surf and turf platter as a starter - it was great. Melt in the mouth pork rib, calamari, marinated grilled chicken, scallops and prawns pan fried, and some fish which was tempura battered which was amazing. The other half had the pulled pork soft taco and I had the lemon salt and pepper calamari - it was one of the best casual meals I've eaten in a long time. Didn't break the bank either. Definitely a "would go again" spot. A great Tuesday evening treat.

A place above Oliver's also they do amazing food and drinks I highly recommend them it is one of many fav places I LOVE to dine. I can't forget to mention they have a very lovely view. 🥰 Definitely give em a try if you happen to pass through orewa beach front.

Platters are always great when you're unsure what you're after, really good selection with meat platter and the surf N Turf platter. Variety of cocktails available too. Burgers are good n filling as well, Calamari is always a treat. Friendly staff always, and I've been here a few times at different times of the day. Always a good time with friends n family here. A+. Defz a strong friendly team here. Appreciate you all 💯.

Fantastic service. Wandered in for a table for two for lunch on a busy day and didn’t feel like we were a burden. Lovely staff and food was spectacular! Didn’t wait too long for our food either even on a very busy day. Well done!

BNI - Silverdale We have our weekly breakfast meeting here on a Thursday. Coast are amazing with their professional, quick service, great breakfasts, how they remember names and what coffees you order each time. Their French toast melts my taste buds every time 🤤 😋 Thanks team and see you again every Thurs.

Nice view from upstairs, the food is usually good but every now and again you get a dud. Today I had a chicken burger that was cooked too quickly and it maintained its grizzly chewy chicken texture. Wasn’t very nice. Staff are generally friendly and the place is always packed so it’s quite loud.

Food with a view. Loved the kumara fries. Nice seating area. Good Ambience. Good Choice of beers to try out.

Amazing platter with seafood, pork ribs and chicken - plenty for 2 people! Top notch customer service, the staff were all friendly and offered us samples for different beers. Great outdoor seating with a beach view, would definitely return!

Excellent service, platter was large and seafood was fresh.

I had a very nice experience here, the staff were friendly the view was amazing up top but most importantly the food was fabulous. Good quality chips and the Thai beef salad was amazing. I get Thai beef salads quite a bit but this one is definitely one of the top the marinade on the beef was superb

Sat upstairs which is a really nice setting. Ordered the ribs, smashed avocado on toast and kids meal and was reasonably priced and everything got eaten feeling very satisfied. Definitely be going back again ☺️

Came here super excited with an amazing sounding menu, within 5-10 minutes of ordering all the food arrived and was clearly microwaved , super bummed, had hella high hopes :( however staff were friendly but yes food was not good

This is a great spot right across from the beautiful Orewa beach. It’s two story, so there’s plenty of seating. We sat upstairs on the deck, where the view was spectacular. The interior is also nicely decorated with a chilled, coastal vibe. The staff were all very friendly & attentive. There’s a great selection of reasonably priced food & drink. My partner & I shared a meat platter which was great value for money. Everything was perfectly looked & we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would highly recommend Coast & will be back for sure.

Bao pork belly buns - tick. Had to get more to takeaway. Really good place to catch up after work or meet the girls for a wine. Beautiful views and really scrummy food that we share between us. Will be back for sure!

Had a Rather large table all the food came out in a timely manner. The ribs were certainly the Winner in my eyes Meat just fell off the bone. Excellent service. Will definitely be back. Lane Fluffy

Service was great, food was pretty decent. Personally I got the chicken burger and was happy with the taste. Although I felt it was slightly overpriced at $23 for the smallish size you get. But great place awesome atmosphere on weekend days/Thursday, considering orewa is pretty dead most nights.

Beautiful day and outside was quite full so we headed upstairs outside... even better great views. Friendly service great food selection and drinks.<br/>We ordered:<br/>Surf n turf-platter <br/>Brewers garlic bread<br/>Nicely presented... calamari nice and ribs really tender..<br/>Not the best garlic bread but nice loaf<br/>Yummy espresso martini<br/>

Ate here on Saturday night with friends, even though they were quite a few tables, they were pretty quick with getting food and drinks out to us.  We ordered the Surf & Turf board, the Meaty McMeat Face Board, and each couple had a side of chips each. For dessert we had the Nutella cheesecake and the Salted Caramel Ice cream Sandwich. While i thoroughly enjoyed everything I had, I have to say that $9 for the plate of chips is a complete joke. Served as though "my kids wont eat off the menu, can you please just send a plate of chips". A measly dot of tomato sauce and aioli on the place dont add up to $9, that is a rip off. Thought the cheesecakes were a bit overpriced ($13) for the size as well.

In the middle with this place. Some amazing dishes some not so. Ribs falling off the bone as should be and quinoa salad super yum. Everything else average. Vegetarian platter horribly overpriced for some chopped up raw veggies. Pork belly bao had a dry, flat and thin bun not bouncy and soft. Staff were nice a bit slow but they were very busy.

We were in Orewa for the weekend and went to Coast for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the service was outstanding! Nothing was too much trouble. The pork belly is to die for. <br/>

I have been to Coast many times since it opened and have always been disappointed with the haphazard service. The food has always been consistently good however. Last night was the first time we have been back since Bobby and his crew from Oliver’s next door have taken over. We had the ribs, squid , tofu and sweet corn fritters and of course the chunky fries. What a present surprise. The staff although young were attentive and provided excellent service and for once the service equaled the food. Thanks for the experience.

Myself and my extended family would like to thank Coast Orewa for providing an incredible venue to host our family reunion - 65 of us.  We can't speak highly enough of the service, food and hospitality we all experienced on Saturday night. <br/>A special mention to AP, Sophie and Nick who were incredibly accommodating especial for our 2 vegan members of the family - they were blown away with their platters.  <br/>In fact you were voted the best venue we've had for our family reunions, so now our family from Taupo have some big shoes to fill in 2 years time!

We went here for dinner and shared calamari, pork ribs and chicken bites this fed 3 people comfortably we also had some craft beer, the calamari had a crispy light batter and the pork ribs was so tender it fell off the bones. The atmosphere was very festive but not overwhelming or disruptive. The staff were very attentive we left feeling very content. Looking forward to returning with more people on Christmas eve and i will enjoy revisiting whenever we visit Orewa.<br/>

Sitting upstairs you have a lovely view of Orewa beach.  The interior is spacious and have a holiday beach vibe.  I can highly recommend the fish cakes if you want a light lunch. My dining partner had the $20 steak lunch special and thoroughly enjoyed it. They also have a selection Deep Creek beers.

Food was great! They seated us quickly but would of liked to have the water topped up as there was 8 of us there and it didn't get topped up the whole time we sat there and had to ask.<br/>But overall experience was great

Great location. We sat upstairs near the window overlooking the sea. Lovely spot. The staff were attentive and the food was great. The bathrooms were clean.

I loved the staff and the food brought my family here and loved everything about it we will return ❤️ they made sure we we're okay at all times though out our time here

a friend and i went and had a late lunch last weekend, when we arrived there were plenty of tables to choose from so not overly busy, we ordered the meat mcmeaty platter, we were very disappointed, it looked like the person that served it up was trying to hide what meat was or more like it wasn’t on the platter, we had to push some bits around to find the pork belly, this arrangement looked like they had used previous dinners leftovers, on top it looked like a boiled piece of fish so i tried it and it was a piece of chicken, i asked the waitress where the chic bites were and she replied we have run out hence why you have a piece of chic, not sure how we are supposed to share this piece of chicken.... this is a sharing platter so normally these are bite size pieces! i also asked where the caramelized onions were - they had forgotten that so brought it out 5 mins later, the largest thing on the platter was the garlic bread which was 3 doorstop pieces-great if you had soup or a stew to use for soaking, this platter says for 4 people, no way would this feed 4. i had to go to the bar and ask for another wine as the waitresses were too busy getting ready for the early dinner diners. last but not least there was a large table that were just getting their mains when we arrived, had a mix of adults and kids, right down to a baby.... once they had finished their mains and before deserts came out one of the ladies changed her babies nappy at the table.... this we found disgusting, not necessarily the staff's fault but if they did see her they should or could of asked her to go to the bathroom to do this not in front of people trying to eat.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>keeping in mind i have eaten here twice before and not had an issue, either management have changed or they just aren't concerned about their business which seems to be going downhill, very disappointing, won’t be going back.

Arguably the worst lunch my family and i have ever had. Fish and chips, chips were cold and the fish was smalker than the size of a starter. The Big as burger again chips were cold and sald was tasteless. The aioli was watered down or something. Just plain rubish. The winne wings again bland no flavour. I would have had a better meal at a take away. Total waist of money and time. I would not recomend it to my worst enemy.

Nice location, close to the busy part of orewa, and thry have outside seating, as for food: average food personally, very average burger for $24, however the wife liked their beer battered fish taco.

Visited on Sunday. Super hot and wanted to enjoy the sun. <br/>Ordered at the bar, service was a little abrupt but with a casual pub food place it's what I'd expect.<br/>Ordered fried chicken, cheeseburger and chicken tacos. <br/>Food came out within 15 minutes by a very friendly runner (wish I could remember her name - she had long blonde hair and wore glasses) who chatted to us and came back to check everything was ok with the meal - this is the kind of service that's distinctly lacking in Orewa. <br/>Food was great, super tasty and enough to feed the two of us. <br/>We'll definitely return here <br/>

I came here with my best friend for a coffee date, I wasn't too sure of what to expect since the last time I was here there wasn't much to choose from. <br/><br/>Absolutely loved it here the ambience and service was EXCELLENT. Now the food... Where do I start O ordered the Quinoa salad with chicken and I wanted the recipe! <br/><br/>But to be honest I would come back just because I love the vibe! this will be my treat meal and my get away with friends from out of town!<br/><br/>A gem across the road from Orewa beach GOTTA LOVE THAT! <br/><br/>Love keep up the awesome work GUYS!

We waited for over an hour after ordering, the seafood basket was tasty and we enjoyed it. But when we got home, we both had a mild food poisoning - headache and diarrhoea, which totally spoiled our experience. Won't go back.

Have been here for the ribs before and what a pleasant experience. Initially had to wait a bit for the waitress to come take the order, but that was fine since I saw they were really busy. got the ribs and some extra platter and ate till my heart content. was very delicious. meat fell off the bone and was really messy just as I like it. Only down side was the limited selection of beer. Only craft beer options available. I dislike craft beer with a passion... its just not for me. But in saying that, I will be back to have some more food.

Service was alright but food was not good we Oder spicy chicken, fish fries aftr order we want some Mock tail but waitress said its gona be expensive which was not good and spicy chicken was cold

Had a delicious light lunch here - nicely presented and spiced chicken and kumara bites. They also serve some quality craft beers you won't find in your average bar

I've been a big fan of Coast since I started visiting NZ last year. Since the last time I was here, they've added the 2nd floor, and they did a tremendous job! All the construction related details and design were all very well addressed. The atmosphere is cool and comfortable. The bartenders and wait staff are friendly, competent and all around superb.  The meal presentation is excellent. They found themselves are really great chef, all of the meals I've had have been really good. The prices are very reasonable as well. I keep coming back for everything that I've mentioned, but the best reason to go there is that they have the best craft beer of anywhere in NZ!<br/><br/>I definitely recommend it!<br/><br/>Tim G

Visited last week for lunch with a friend and tried the $20 lunch specials menu.<br/><br/>We ordered two meals; the fish and chips was a large serve and my friend said enjoyable enough, however the fish was overcooked considerably and very "chewy" - hard to imagine fish being chewy?  The chicken burger left a lot to be desired, with a half uncooked/warmed bun, chicken tenderloin which was not tender nor had any flavour despite some green (herb?) looking seasoning on it, and the house coleslaw was very, very average, roughly cut with a very poor quality mayo type sauce to it which again lacked flavour and added nothing to the meal.  <br/><br/>The atmosphere, cool beachy decor and stunning views are what would bring someone here, plus the cold beer...  I cannot fault the great service, it was excellent - thank you people! <br/><br/> Would I go back, yes, I would give Coast another whirl... though, suggest the kitchen team check out the fab work they do at Coast's sister eatery down in Browns Bay, now that's a $20 lunch special!  See my review! Cheers. Mupps.<br/>*** UPDATE *** 25.02.16 - enjoyed lunch here today with friends... really enjoyed ourselves and the food had improved greatly!!

Went here in the weekend due to the good average rating, but was unfortunately disappointed. We had the pork bites (very good), the burger (a special, also good but nothing "special"), and a pulled pork salad (yummy but poor value, hardly any pork). The main disappointment was the service. No one gave us a menu, so we got one ourselves, and after waiting about 10minutes no one took our order either. We went to the counter to place our order and the waitress was unfriendly. The food took quite a long time given it wasn't a busy period. There was live music which was really nice and the view of the beach is also lovely. Overall not a good experience but improving the service isn't a huge task - this place could easily become far better

Give this entire review a read before you decide to spend your money. Coast is great when it's not busy. It's a nice place to dine in the summer. Very similar to deep creek (same chain?). The menu is extensive and has a lot of yummy dishes to choose from. I always go for the calamari as it never disappoints. The platters are also nice to share with a group.<br/><br/>Updated review - after dining here on Saturday night, I have been put off coming back. The service was terrible. We waited over 40 minutes for our food. I understand that it was busy, but no one even checked on us except to ask if we would like more drinks. They didn't ask us if the food was okay either - because it wasn't. The duck breast dishes were overpriced for the portion.... Way too chewy as well. My ribs were overlooked. The BBQ pork ribs I received were so charred that they tasted like burnt wood. Frankly, I'm disappointed because everything was bland on my platter that cost me $34.50! The manager was kind enough to give us 10% off our bill but he did not look too happy and said it was a busy hour. Hmmm. I would give it a 1 if it wasn't for the other experiences I've had here.

Enjoyed our lunch here. Was slightly dubious with the $20 lunch including a drink, seemed to good to be true but was delicious. My Mum had the ribs which were melt in your mouth, Aunty had the steak which was also delicious. I had the chicken burger which I found a bit bland but hey we're all different. Excellent staff who made us feel very welcome. We will be back :)

After giving coast a second time to be able to fairly write my review I am regrettably still giving it a 2.5. The location is nice as well as the decorations and atmosphere which is why it's appealing to many I'm sure. The food is overpriced, my classic cheeseburger was tiny as well as my portion of fries for a supposed main meal and to be honest pretty normal, no wow factor. Everyone I went with commented on the price thinking it was more than it's worth. And then as I walked out the door I saw a slightly hidden sign saying it was 'B' rated which added to my dissapointedness in this place which has such potential but sadly I won't be back.

We were greeted with lovely and polite service. Downstairs is more of a pub environment but don't let that put you off if you are here to dine, there is nice comfortable seating upstairs in the relaxed dining area. <br/>The place is generally well designed, with many diffferent seating arrangements, plus lovely and clean. <br/><br/>Food was really nice. We tried the Seafood Platter and a few side dishes and some beers. They were all really good, I would describe this as tasty and satisying New Zealand cuisine e.g. lots of seafood, meat, fresh salad, seasonal offerings etc.  very nice after a day at the beach or surfing or whatever.<br/><br/>So great to find somewhere in Orewa that does a seafood platter. The fish was lovely and succulent, the calamari was tasty and crispy and moist inside. Lovely flavour with the prawns. There was a very subtle hint of chilli and other tropical flavours within our dishes which was nice. There were some nice touches such as fish pate, and crostini & interesting dips, which were lovely to start with and were delicious. I wish they would do the option of a giant Seafood Platter with even more variety as it's hard to find anywhere in Auckland near the sea that does this. I would travel for this! The sides were also top quality.<br/><br/>Great and generous selection of fresh salad,  dips and sauces with everything too. I looked across to other diner's meals and they looked delicious and good value portions.<br/><br/>Really generous servings however we managed to polish everything off. Will definitely come back next time we are passing through.<br/><br/>Keep up the good work!<br/><br/>$75 for two. (Platter, 2 sides, 1 drink each)

After a great walk around the Orewa Estuary we went to Coast for lunch today.   We have been to the Deep Creek in Browns Bay several times and have always found it to be great, so we're eager to try the Orewa version.  We sat upstairs on the deck where we had panoramic view over the beach and gulf, and enjoyed a Lotus Pale Ale - lovely taste of floral tropical fruits.  We ordered the Meat Paddle with a side of fries.  The paddle was ample for lunch and the pulled beef,  pork ribs and chips are all worth a special mention as they were delicious.  The lamb skewer (1) was a little tough and meagre, and (as we were eating ribs & chicken wings) the lack of a finger bowl and scraps plate were noticeable omissions.  The service was superb and when the weather got cooler we were offered rugs - a lovely touch.  We noticed the in-house menu included a Vegetarian Paddle (not listed on their Zomato website) which we are keen to try next visit.

We have been coming to the Coast for a number of months and have yet to be disappointed by three food or service. This is one of our favorite restaurants this side of the bridge.

Went to coast tonight. Staff were very nice when welcoming us into the place, however it seemed as if our waitress did not know what to do in her job when taking orders.<br/>We had calamari to start with which was delicious to eat and was the highlight of our meal. Partner had the bbq ribs which were tender but the sauce/flavour was average, chips were average but turned cold fast. I had the pork roulade which was overcooked as the meat was tough, the bacon not crispy or well cooked and the ricotta flavouring was bland. <br/>Also to disappoint the menu when we got there was different from the menu on their website. <br/>After this visit can't really see what other people rave about and don't plan on going back.

Was lovely to have some tapas paired with delicious wine! Enjoyed a few dishes that I shared with my mum and we enjoyed the squid the best. Would be s great place to go on a Friday night or sunny afternoon too

If you are ever looking for a delicious rib meal, you need to go to coast! Me or my partner will always order ribs where we can its one of our favourite meals but no where has come close to the ribs from coast! The other meals are gorgeous as well, quesadillas especially !! And the prices are really good for the quality and value of the meals.

Good vibe in the new upstairs bar. Excellent wait staff. My wife and daughter shared the meat paddle and generally enjoyed it. Prawns and calamari a little tasteless though.Had to send my first bowl of chunky fries back as they were lukewarm. Next bowl was fine and they were tasty enough. My Chicken Quesadillas were disappointing. Very little in them and what is this obsession with bbq sauce? Maybe it's an attempt to give bland food some flavour. My home made quesadillas have a mixture of ingredients with plenty of flavour and I'd be happy to come by and give the chef a lesson in this dish which a great favourite in our family. <br/>I had a glass of Argentinian red and it was very good, as was the wife's Sav.

Ideal location in the centre of Orewa, with a new coastal style fit out and great views from the top level out over the water. Menu looks good, although the day we were there the deep fryer was playing up so menu selection was limited. I had the fish sliders which I found a bit uninspired, but I also tried the pulled pork quesadillas and they were amazing. Service perhaps a touch on the slow side but overall had a good impression and would definitely come back again.

Tonight we dined at Coast - we sat outside and the waitress said she would bring us menus, these never arrived.  Then we waved to someone inside and he brought us menus straight  away - we later found out he was actually the doorman.  We shared between the 4 of us a seafood platter and a meat platter which were average to boring.  Were kind of hoping that someone would come and ask us if we wanted to order more drinks but there were no staff to be seen.  After awhile longer we got the doormans attention again and he was able to bring us dessert menus and take our drinks order.  Desserts were awful - the raspberry couli on the cheesecake tasted like Pamol.  No coffee available as the machine was broken.Wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money here.

Great spot, friendly staff and tasty food...love those platters!   We've had drinks, lunches and dinners here...all good.   We're looking forward to seeing the new extensions.

Had the pork belly. Was amazing and tender. Beautifully presented. Thoroughly enjoyed. Fantastic service and friendly staff :) highly recommended!

This was our first time here and wow the food was amazing! we ordered 3 dishes plus a side salad and everything was just soooo good! Nothing negative here the service was fantastic, so friendly and everything was well priced $65 for dinner for 2 plus a drink each, we will definitely be back.

Great place, good vibe and food was FANTASTIC. I had pork belly which was to die for and the others enjoyed their steaks. It was a special bonus for us to hear Phil Madsen singing and he even gave us a CD. All in all it was a fabulous night. Thanks - we will be back.

Coast is as a great bar, it has a relaxed atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, and attentive service, the food is tasty, they offer a good selection of wine and the beer is very good too. An excellent destination in Orewa.

Coast is just what Orewa always needed! A cosy beach bar with excellent food, friendly service, and delicious beers that are perfectly matched to the food on offer. We had the Beer Tasting Platter (offering a taster of 3 beers matched with 3 different foods - tender fish, melt-in-the-mouth pork and expertly grilled scotch fillet), a platter of calamari and a house made loaf of bread. The portions were generous and the flavours were fantastic! The beers were all very tasty and matched the food wonderfully. We will definitely be back and will recommend this place to others!

We enjoyed a lovely dinner here last Monday night. The tasting platters were beautiful and very filling. Loved the ribs. Jasmine was our waitress and she offered professional service and was fantastic with our children. She was able to answer questions about the menu and was very friendly. My only suggestion would be to have more items on offer on the kids menu.<br/> Will definitely be back :)

I was so pleased when Deep Creek opened in Orewa and have been several times since opening night. The food is fantastic, and we've had particularly great service from some of the wait staff. However, if this bar is to survive, then they need to do something about the argumentative little girl who calls herself the manager. Each time I have been there, she has been caught up in an altercation with a staff member, gruelling them in front of customers for no good reason. I witnessed one poor waitress who is just lovely being made to feel like a complete imbecile by being checked up on every few minutes when she was doing a perfect job. This made it uncomfortable for us to be continuously overhearing this rubbish. We love the food, and the other wait staff and will be back but I cannot promise to hold my tongue as this girl needs to leave the power trip behind and help with the workload instead of constantly following the others around criticising. I highly recommend the food and boutique beers and would give this a 5 start rating if it was not for this one person ruining the atmosphere. Please don't let this put you off, I am not the type of person who likes to complain for no reason - I just think these comments would be helpful to the management as I'd like to see this place take off.

My partner and I decided to pop in from being at the beach and we wanted something to drink and snack on before heading home. Noticed that this place was new so thought we would give it a try, hoping it would be good...<br/><br/>Boy was I wrong!!!<br/><br/>Received the worse service ever! I have worked in hospitality for years and years, I know what is expected and I did not receive any of it. <br/><br/>Walked up to the bar and stood there for a few awkward seconds looking at the waiters behind the bar for them to "notice" us, they were all talking and my partner and I felt a bit uncomfortable as if we entered some teenage group talking about the dramas from last Saturday's party. <br/><br/>My partner ordered a cider and I ordered a glass of oj and water and we also got a bowl of chips to share. After ordering and being there for well over a few minutes, a very young girl approaches us and says "can I see your ID", my partner has his with him but I didn't, and I didn't think it would be a problem especially if I was drinking water and having fries! <br/>When I told her that I didn't have it and I was only having juice and water, she said "OK well like, your gonna have to leave"<br/><br/>In complete shock, me and my partner look at each other and I say to her but we've paid for our drinks and ordered food! Also that the fact that she knew we had paid for everything and then asking us to leave as soon as we take our first sip?! Why did the barman not ask for our I.D in the first place before ordering, paying and drinking and then rudely telling us to leave! <br/>She then said "Yeah you guys can like enjoy your drinks I guess but you can't stay here all night you know..."<br/>Pardon?! Can you stop speaking like a child?! <br/><br/>So then my partner and I took our drinks outside and waited for our chips and could not "enjoy" our drinks because the way this girl made us feel. Then she came out with the bowl of chips and said nothing as she threw them across our table that a few chips fell onto an unwiped table. Brilliant. <br/>I said to her "excuse me" and she turned and kept walking.<br/><br/>There is no way, if I had an employee working in my restaurant, that delivered service like that, she would be fired.<br/><br/>I hope to dear god that the manager sees this review and is ashamed. I know a lot of people and I will tell them this story about what I received that day and no one will be going there now.

Went here on 2nd February for a friends 30th dinner (table of 8). Staff were great, atmosphere in Orewa was fantastic.<br/><br/>Food was to die for! Ribs especially. <br/><br/>Overall this is now my new favourite place to eat on the Coast. Highly recommended.<br/><br/>The manager even gave the birthday boy a complimentary chocolate brownie. Great service. Cant rave about it enough - well done guys.

Visited new Coast restaurant on 4th Feb for dinner - thank God the guys have opened up in Orewa!<br/>Congratulations on a great little bar and restaurant with great atmosphere and another floor to come, which will make it THE place to go in Orewa.<br/>We (table of 5) chose the JD Ribs and also the Fish - all dishes were excellent and the service provided by Jade was very professional and humorous, furthermore Monroe our waitress (on her first night) looked after us really well.<br/>We look forward to making this our 'regular' and can only recommend to others to try - you shouldn't be disappointed!<br/>Cheers
