Review Kawau Bay Kitchen - Orewa

We had a lovely evening at Kawau Bay Kitchen last night. The cocktails were top notch, the espresso martini was the best I have had in a very long time. All of the food was cooked to perfection, the lamb rump was a highlight. We will be back!

So, so good. Their new summer menu was outstanding. Everything we ordered was cooked beautifully. Delicious. Excellent service, divine cocktails, and superb wines. Highly recommend.

I was just walking along looking at someplace for a Sunday Breakfast and Coffee.. was not disappointed, I was greeted with smiles, served a wonderful Oat Mocha, and had a really yummy Bacon eggs Benedict. The poached eggs were perfect.. I would definitely recommend supporting this little cafe restaurant.. I'll be back..

Apologies in advance for gushing. The food was cooked to.perfection. There we 11 of us at the table and our food arrived all together. Chicken liver parfait was smooth, velvety and full of flavour. The mussells were in a deliciously light and flavour packed liquid. Not to mention our main courses. Yum , yum , yum. Definately my new fave. Thanks for a wondeful evening

This may be the best steak I have ever eaten. So yum! Really good service too. Friendly, down to earth and the food came out nice and quick.

Wow what a fabulous place to relax and enjoy amazing food and coffee. The service was friendly and I would recommend to everyone. Thanks team you made our day.

Professor McFussy and I found a table al fresco in the sunshine. Nice spot to pass the time of day. We had perused the menu outside the establishment and our orders were taken almost immediately upon seating. I have no idea of the time taken between order and delivery but the wait was not arduous. The meals were delicious and very tasty. I particularly like the flame grill flavour of the bacon. McFussy commented that the sausage was pale (not enough cramelisation) but tasty with interesting flavours. They were busy, coffee followed the food. We were warned that the barista was coping with an influx so our expectations were only heightened. The Professor loved her McFussy coffee but my "long black" lost one point because the crema had all but disappeared when served. It hit the spot otherwise. Hopefully an outlier event. The staff were busy but attentive to their customers. An excellent dining experience.

Second time we have been - with friends and children - and they have looked after us beautifully! Cocktails tonight were fabulous - loved the fish and risotto - great night all round!

This place is one of those must try places as the food, atmosphere and service is exceptional. Photo of the Lamb main. Bookings here is recommended as the more people come to this place they will all come back.

Where do I start? Such a fantastic local eatery. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Very talented Chefs, lovely service, and beautiful location right on the Ōrewa beach front. Don't miss this local gem!

My wife and I had possibly our best ever dining experience at Kawau Bay Kitchen a few weeks back. You may not get the portion size you expect, but the symphony of flavours in the food easily resolves any concern. The service was impeccable from every one of the team, and they even managed to work out a veeery tasty non-alcoholic Cosmo for us. My wife's also a big fan of sticky date pudding and the Kawau sticky date is the best I've ever had, hands down. Thanks so much! Hope to be back again soon.

What a beautiful place to dine in. My husband and 2 girls enjoyed the ambiance atmosphere in this restaurant. Very attentive friendly staff and the meal was tasty and divine. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, enjoyable tasty meal with a great customer service. It's worth the money we paid for a family of 4. Portion of the meals was on point..not too small and not too overly plated. The pumpkin ravioli and the pork belly starter is flavorsome and rich. I recommend this dishes. We would definitely go back there. Thank you for a wonderful experience and especially the chef.

Nice to find a place that doesn't close their kitchen at 8pm. Great food, tnx

Great little place to eat. Beautiful food. Efficient staff. Will definitely be back.

Excellent friendly warm welcome. Fast service, beautiful fresh ingredients, good portion sizes, not too big, just enough. Lovely warm plates to keep food a good temperature and aromatic flavorsome coffee. Just the best!

Excellent service considering only one waitress and they were very busy. She was so helpful and a great sense of humour. The meals were so good, everyone at our table raved about them. Went back on the weekend (twice) for the recommended scones that are beautiful.

Really nice place for a bite to eat and chill out too. Great menu, value for money. Enjoyed the tea, coffee and breakfasts too.
