Review Maude - Tauranga

Nice atmosphere, but very expensive for food for the family. Cabinet is quite minimal. Using the Alternative brand milks which I personally don't like in coffees. Nice bar within. Better for a date night than a day out. Playground close by is great and a dairy for cheaper food!

First time here and it will now be our regular! It had such a nice atmosphere and the service was so quick! We ordered drinks, an entree, lamb shank, pork belly and dessert and I can’t fault any of it! They not only looked amazing but tasted it too! And the drinks and food came out so quick! Will definitely be back again.

We ended up coming here on a Friday after finding the place we intended on going to had closed. We have enjoyed the food at the General at the Mount in the past. Had a very enjoyable meal here. I had 200g eye fillet steak which was excellent and cooked perfectly to my liking (medium rare). My wife had the crusted lamb fillet, also excellent. I noticed they have a special price steak on Thursdays so might be back soon.

Just as good as The Mount branch! The General never disappoints on food, coffee, service and facilities. The food is super fresh & consistently good. Amazing place to take kids with a great kids menu & activity packs. Staff are fantastic. Eat & drink here!!

Customer service was exceptional, and service was fast. I can't rate the food as I ordered a coffee it was delicious. The only thing that I would recommend is getting equal or splendors as the artificial sugar they use does not cut the mustard. All in all great place great people beautiful surroundings.

Great restaurant in relative isolation in terms of location. The staff were friendly and efficient, the menu was good but just lacked a bit of balance for me. The food itself was great but no dish jumped out at me in terms of "this is who we are". Some drinks weren't available when we are there so that stopped me giving everything 5 stars but seriously, would welcome going back. Really good value for money in my view.

Love this place, never had a problem eating here or the original in the mount. Always great staff, helpful and friendly.

I recently visited The General at The Lakes restaurant and I was blown away by how amazing it was. The food was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure that I had everything I needed. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making me feel right at home. They have a great selection of dishes and drinks, so there's something for everyone. I can't wait to go back and enjoy another meal at this fantastic restaurant!

Both the lamb and steak were faultless,cooked to perfection exactly as requested. The sauce that comes with the lamb is truly exceptional and the beef jus we could have drunk in a mug. The meals are large and vegetables are included. A real highlight is the staff. They're young, international, friendly and efficient. When you combine that with a nothing is too much trouble attitude you know there is a good team. Well done and thank you for our 3rd perfect visit

Delicious food. Went here for a friends baby shower brunch. I had the Southern Chicken Burger which was super yum and filling. With a coffee that was great too. Not a lot of space for my pram but we made do. The place was busy at 11.30-1pm while we were there, but the service was attentive and quick.

Visited for mother's day this morning. Service was excellent , despite the fact they were very busy. Polite staff, prompt orders and delivery of coffee to the table. I ordered the eggs benedict and I am being 100% truthful when I say they were the best I've ever had. The poached eggs were served on sourdough with a homemade sauce which was absolutely delicious. They also added a charred broccolini which added further layers of beautiful flavour. Top notch. My son loved his pancakes, husbands meal was great and the coffee was excellent. Top marks! Thank you Maude!

Really friendly staff and they were also very helpful. We ordered a margarita pizza with a gf base, the pizza was nice but the edges were burned and it was also very oily. This place is $$$ so it didn't meet my expectations for quality of food. Would definitely go there again though to give them another try.

I am would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible dining experience I recently had at The General at the lakes restaurant. From the moment I stepped foot into your establishment, I knew it was going to be a special evening. The ambiance at "The General" is unmatched. The tasteful decor, warm lighting, and inviting atmosphere created the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant, from the table settings to the friendly staff, added a touch of elegance to the overall dining experience. The menu at The General is a culinary masterpiece. The diverse selection of dishes made it difficult to choose just one. However, whatever I decided on did not disappoint. Each course was expertly crafted, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The ingredients used were undoubtedly of the highest quality, and it was evident that the chefs take great pride in their culinary creations. I must commend the exceptional service I received during my visit. The staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food they served. Their willingness to accommodate dietary preferences and provide insightful recommendations made the evening even more enjoyable. Lastly, I would be remiss not to mention the impressive beverage selection. The wine list boasted a remarkable variety, and the cocktails were expertly mixed. Each drink perfectly complemented the flavors of the dishes, elevating the entire dining experience. In conclusion, The General restaurant exceeded all of my expectations, and I am delighted to recommend it to friends, family, and anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. It truly is a gem in the culinary landscape. Thank you for providing such an exceptional dining destination, and I look forward to visiting again soon.
