Really Good food and service :) The view is amazing as well.
Love this place for a quick easy lunch! Salads are delicious and fresh. Can sit outside and watch the world go by on a nice day. Can get a bit too busy on a Friday, prefer to go mid week.
Amazing evening with family for my 60th. Food was great and staff really went the extra mile. Even chance to practise my beginners French. The lamb was exceptional and who can't resist curly fries!
Met with a few mates on the weekend at The Phoenix on The Strand. A huge thank you for a great time. Well done to all the staff as the service was excellent. Ordered a variety of sharing plates and meals even meals from the old menu and the Chef was only too pleased to make these dishes for us.
The presentation and quality of the meals outstanding. Drinks were on par and cocktails were prepared to perfection. Once again. "Well done".
A definate must try.

Just down from the place I was staying here in Tauranga (trinity wharf) and i liked the look of the menu so stopped in for dinner and a couple drinks with my boyfriend. Very busy place on the Saturday night, we got the last table luckily. All blacks were playing and the place had a cool vibe.
Food was a bit pricey, but it is on the waterfront and was kind of expected. Cocktails were cheap but wasn't too impressed with mine, didn't taste that great.
Food was awesome though, good amount on the plate, I had the beef salad which was flavoursome and filling and the all the different flavours within it worked so well. Boyfriend had the steak which he liked, was quite fatty but cooked well and the sides that came with it were pretty good. He got the blue cheese sauce with it, fries and a coleslaw. Just a bit pricey still especially with the amount of fat on the steak.
A girl on the table next to us ordered a couple of the pizzas, they looked bloody good. Would definitely be back just to try their pizza here. Would be very interested to try.
Service here is 5/5! From the moment I walked in we were greeted by the staff. We popped in to get takeaway on a Friday night (which is amazing as some bar and restaurants don't offer such service). The waitress was really helpful with food choices and we ended up ordering the meat lovers pizza and curly fries. The pizza was delicious! The base was perfect and the toppings were even better, incredibly cheesy and packed with meat. Curly fries with their aioli was cooked to perfection as it
was so crispy.
Also the atmosphere here was amazing! We ended up grabbing a few drinks here while we waited. They have a great variety of craft beers which I haven't quite seen in many bars I've been. The bartender was incredibly nice and helped my partner out with the perfect craft beer to suit his tastebuds. I also ordered a few cocktails which were so delish 👌
This will definitely be my go to if I'm ever in tauranga. Highly recommended
Great location to begin with, just by the waterside and train tracks. Ambience is nice and pleasant. Not overly done or loud.
We ordered fish and chips, BBQ chicken wings, onion rings and some drinks. Fish n chips were excellent, wings were just okay and so were the onion rings. Place was bustling even for a Wednesday night.
Reached here late on the Friday of the labor day weekend. One of the three places serving dinner. The food was not over the top. It was good food.
Our order:
Fried Calamari
Fries
Mex tex pizza
Monteiths black from tap
Gin and tonic
The staff was great. Came to us to check with our order as they were closing soon. However did not push us.
Returns: probably for breakfast or lunch
Pricewise: $65 for 2
Came here on a Saturday night for dinner. Was pretty busy but we got a table straight away. More of a relaxed chilled atmosphere in here. Had a few cocktails which were pretty nice but quite expensive. For my main I had Steak Sirloin with side of veges and salad. Steak was a bit to fatty for my liking but the pieces that wernt were nice and the veges and salad were seasoned pretty well. Had the cheesecake for dessert which was DELISH! would recommend this place for a casual dinner
Very friendly and attentive staff members, checking in right frequent for more drinks. Also one of the very few places to get food after 9:15pm on Tuesdays.
Our platter for two and Pizza Garlic bread were served in short time. Was a pleasure to spent the eve there.
Highly recommended!
Very happy with our meals. Came out in good time and were delicious. The chicken snitzel was one of the best I had. Very juicy and tender. If we didn’t live so far away we definitely would be back again.
Went here with work for dinner. The food was amazing, and the service was great. Would recommend going here.
Just Wow. The restaurant was quiet for a Monday afternoon, and we had no booking when a large group of us turned up. They were very accommodating with turning on heat and closing doors. We were constantly asked if we needed drinks and if everything was okay. Outstanding service. Excellent gluten-free options also, which was a bonus with 3 of us being gluten-free. Photo is gluten-free 5 spice chicken and the cheeseboard, which was also gluten-free. Highly recommend.
Food was amazing, decorations were fantastic, loved the curly fries, waiters were friendly and patient. Only reason service was 4 stars and not 5 was because of how busy they were. Would highly recommend coming on a Friday night for the cheeper pizzas which are delicious.
came here for my best friends birthday (we didn’t tell the restaurant) and the food was delicious! we sat outside in the sun - beware of any seagulls!
Just wanted to leave a positive review. I was on holidays in NZ for the first time and a friend took me to this place for dinner. Firstly the food was amazing, the atmosphere was very relaxing but mostly the service of the beautiful waitress Ravi was absolutely 💯 outstanding. Her efforts and service were second to none and she definitely made my stay a memorable one 😁 I cant recommend her enough and the phoenix bar 😉✌️ will definitely come back if I ever get to go to NZ again 😉
Kind regards
Andrew
We went on Wednesday night and had the steak and seafood chowder. Both were amazing. Highly recommend!
The Phoenix is a very nice restaurant on The Strand in Tauranga. It has a vibrant interior and exterior, with some cool wall designs. The food and drinks (especially the cocktails) were excellent and the service provided by the staff was very efficient, polite and professional. We were a large group and they looked after us all very well. I would recommend this venue to anyone and will definitely go again next time I am in town.
Beautiful place to dine in, lovely yummy meal, awesome service. Definitely recommend this restaurant for dining out👌
Easy-going eatery with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was pretty tasty and reasonably priced, perhaps on the steep side for some grilled seasonal vegetables. 4 stars due to some staff inexperience with a couple orders missed and incorrect, and a few meals brought out much earlier than the rest of the table although I would imagine this is an outlier
