Booked in via first table - great service and food! We ordered the squid, cheeseburger, and braised lamb shoulder
This place is officially a new favourite of mine, I’m not sure how it has only a 3.7 rating. The steak, though overcooked was delicious and the prawn starter was amazing. The squid and mocktails were also very good. Loved it! However I went with a first table booking so didn’t feel the heat of the prices as much.

Regatta Bar & Eatery is a beautiful and classy seaside restaurant on Takapuna beach. The open plan bar and kitchen and the modern decor makes it for an amazing spot for a date night or after work drinks. Although Regatta is quite pricey, the food is absolutely delicious and the service was phenomenal.

A bit on the pricey side but great views of Rangitoto. Excellent food overall. Recommend the seafood chowder entree. The Beef Red curry was let down by being served on a very cold plate unfortunately
We had a company Christmas party dinner here on the 10th night, very beautiful place, the staff service was good and I felt very comfortable! Will go with friends next time.
Absolutely amazing service and food great friendly staff
Regatta never disappoints! Attentive staff, so welcoming and friendly, great menu, lots of options, the food is incredible and such a beautiful setting right on the beach front!
One of my faves on the shore. This restaurant is great for catching up with friends. Summer is the perfect time to visit. It’s sunny, open fresh decor just screams summer. The food here is always tasty and the service is good. I’ve also been here for a couple events, including the all you can drink Rose lunches and a larger event, all were fabulous and very well run.
Highly recommend
Beautiful view out to rangitoto and the park is just opposite, so if you’re bringing the kids you can take them afterwards and get an ice cream at Ben and jerrys
Nice seafood platter. The oyster is really nice, better than my last visit. Chill afternoon with this! The staff were friendly as well. The only off side will be the muscle. All others were good!
Came here with a group of people. Such a beautiful location with lots of natural light streaming in to the restaurant for added ambience. Prices for this restaurant are slightly more expensive however the quality of the food is second to none. I ordered the squid and it was delicious. We also ordered platters for the table (not pictured) and these were great - provided a lot of variety to pick and choose from. Would definitely come here for a dinner date!
Beautiful classy restaurant by the seaside. Friendly and efficient service. The calamari was delicious, well season with a beautiful sauce to compliment the batter and taste.
Runa steak was cooked with perfection. Seafood chowder was nice but not my favorite, a slice of lemon would've been nice and wasn't fond of the the texture of the soup, however it did taste nice and was served with a well crisped sour dough and delicious butter. For dessert we had cheesecake, it had a beautiful presentation but I felt that the ginger (or a certain flavour) was too strong in the dessert (just my preference and I'm no food expert)
Would definitely come again because the food, atmosphere is amazing! Thank you for a wonderful lunch.
Great food and a friendly team at this bright bar / restaurant that flanks Takapuna Beach and reserve. Lots of nearby parking. Only negative was bar was out of stock of some cocktail ingredients on the day of our visit (Sunday afternoon of a sunny weekend) and substitute wine took a long time to arrive.
Booked this spot for our anniversary dinner - we had our first date here. Stunning spot, stunning food, and lovely service. We were wished for our anniversary on our way in and given complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate - so thoughtful. The steaks were nothing short of divine, I had to ask that my compliments be given to the chef on our way out. 10/10 reccomend.

We dined at Regatta on Saturday night. The place was pretty quiet when we arrived and we counted at least 12 staff on. Wait staff were very attentive and checked in numerous times throughout the night to see if everything was ok. Was able to order drinks throughout without having to flag someone over which is a nice change. We ordered a few sides to share. Raw Kingfish, chicken liver parfait, Korean chicken wings, house-baked Sourdough and seaweed butter and the beef tartare. Everything was delicious and flavor combinations were perfect. For mains we shared the crispy Porchetta, Pan fried fish ( snapper), and chargrilled fish ( tuna ). The mains were equally as delicious as the sides and we all agreed this was the best restaurant food we had in a long time. Although already being at belt undoing point we couldn't resist trying the creme brulee and fromage. So glad we did as this was the perfect way to finish off a fantastic meal. Looking forward to returning to Regatta again in the near future.
Had a really delicious meal at ragatta - every bite was full of flavour will definitely come back!
One of the best meals I've ever had. The tuna was unbelievably tasty. It wasn't cheap but well worth the price. Wish I could go every night. The other dishes looked great too. Will be back for sure!
We have been served with excellent food and service. Very nice medium rare steak and super tasty Caesar salad. When my kid’s lunch hit the table, it was in room temperature which she could eat her lunch straightaway.
So, well deserved 5 stars…
Oysters with thier little vinaigrette is on!!! the food in general is delicious and well cooked hats off to the chefs!! its worth every cent i stopped here with my family my husband my 12 yr old and my 2 yr old he had just awoken when we arrived so he was grumpy had the workers standing around and asking me if he was feeling abit under the weather cause he was screaming n crying. I would go thier for a glass of wine and a shared plate with a mate as the vibe is like beach side chilling but if you are taking kids and one whom is on the spectrum i would preplan it and kinda let them know first hand so they aint standing around wondering why yah kids flapping or making noises asking if they are ok.
But all in all the food is delicious with a great view price is pricey customer service needs a little retraining to shapen up thier skills on handeling situations with children on the spectrum. Other then that it was superb
Nice restaurant. The oysters of the day were nice and fatty. Duck confit burger is very rich. Loved the whipped goat cheese and broccoli. Prices aren’t shown, but beer was 14$ so I wish I would of just spent a few more on a cocktail
Enjoyed Regatta. The antipasto was large- ideal for 4 people and had a nice array of goodies- cold meats, pate, cheeses, pickled veges, fresh fruits, nuts and cracker and breads, really the best I have had in a long time. The Lemon Pepper sqid was delicious. We waited quite awhile for our first drinks even though the place was very quiet but the staff were pleasant and attentive after that, even when it got quite busy.
Would like to go back again and try some more things on the menu. Good food, lovely location.
