Review Riverside Bar & Restaurant - Turangi

Bounce pad outside for kids to play on and small park. Food was incredible and massive portions. Staff were lovely and friendly. A hidden gem! Will definitely be returning, it was a great stop encounter.

We were delighted with our dinner here. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the food was Divine. Highly recommend the Surf and Turf, had to enlist my husband to help me do justice to it. One of those meals where you want to lick the plate. So yummy. I suggest a 10km hike beforehand because the meals are a decent size. Nice wines to go with. Will remember this place and recommend it to anyone in the area.

Bar manager was amazing. Happy- Helpful Big smiles. Food was wickedly amazing All This made us return the next night for another meal. I recommend to call in.

My son and I dined in tonight and were pleasantly surprised staff were super friendly and attentive, food was great and portions were a great size

We recommend this place. The food was delicious. We had the sirloin and market fish. Dish sizes were just right, steak cooked to perfection, and the fish was melt in your mouth. The place was fully booked but still found a seat for us, and the staff were polite and responsive.

I had a meal with my mate before going to Mt Tongariro on the following day. The best decision to dine out this place. We had a grilled fish with salads. The quality of the food did surprise me and it pushed my expectations of NZ food in general. If you are around the area, this one is worth checking out!

The best meal we have eaten in NZ since we arrived & all our food has been great. Would highly recommend eating here if you get a chance.

We ate here tonight and it was superb. We had shrimps and prawns for entree and the steak and fish for the main. Better than most meals in wellington and a plentiful quantity. Thank you to the team

Great food, big portions. Great decore and atmosphere. Lovely staff. Nice wine selection. Located in Parklands Motor Lodge on the way to reception.

I want to begin with giving the in site manager a huge deserved credit. Chenara Cameron. Absolute rock star this woman. We got there at 7pm with a booking for 2. She explained they were very ahirt staffed and there was a wait on food, drinks and serving. We were ok with that. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, the dinner was great and so was dessert. Thankyou so much Chenara you are a legend doing 3 jobs at once. Highly recommended and we will be back. Thankyou to the entire team that were there tonight, great job

The pork chop is to die for! Well seasoned and not too thick. And the service is exceptional. Lovely atmosphere, it seem like everyone actually likes working here!!!

Great service, we ordered the scotch fillet and the orange roughy fish. Wouldn't say the portion size was as big as the others said in their review but still a good size.

The food here is amazing. They give such a generous amount of food too. We are here for 2 nights in a row while we were on holiday there. Everyone there was so nice too. I would definitely suggest for you to go there.

Incredible service, food was very fast, delicious and cooked perfectly. Environment was very ambient. Enjoyed every minute of it, wouldn't hesitate to go again.

Food straight from 70's. Fried,fatty bit uninteresting.salad was nice. Service was great.
