Great food! We went for the views and the amazing food was a surprise. Great visit and service.
The staff were very polite and friendly. I don’t think I’ve ever had pancakes this amazing. And the view 😍😍😍
A great place to take overseas people for the view of Auckland. Even at night the lights are spectacular. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the steak meal. Good balance of food with lovely fluffy potatoes on the inside and nice and crispy on the outside. Came with roast tomato, kale and prawns. It was a good sized portion, not too big and not too small. In fact we didn't order dessert but purchased a couple of their muffins to take home for supper later in the evening. We were there on a wet chilli evening and enjoyed ourselves but I think sitting out on the deck area in the summer would be fantastic.
the place was welcoming.the people who served us were polite and chatty. we were well served. the food wa nice with a very nice scenic view. will come back to visit this cafe again.. :)
If you’re on your way to Piha and want to stop off somewhere good to eat or have a drink pop off to Elevation for sure.
Had a pretty great breakfast and talk about servings, could have made it one and a half breakfast meals. I had the full breakfast which had Bacon, sausage(chorizo), smoky mushrooms, eggs, tomato, potato hash and toast.
One of the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time.
My wife had the Mountain Benedict with a poached egg served on potato hash with capers, spinach and hollandaise sauce and smoky mushrooms but you can choose bacon or salmon instead of the mushrooms. Lovely breakfast with a view. Will definitely be back for sure.
Nice view with an extended deck, me and my partner ordered a chilli and cheese pizza, and it’s little bit spicier than we expected but liked the bread base. Coffee is all right.
Sunday brunch dining with my sister here yesterday. Views from this place are stunning, I bet it looks absolutely stunning on a clear evening. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Decor was mixed. Some of indoor seating matched and the rest looked outdated. I wasn't exactly sure what the theme was here. There were fairy lights, faux floral blooms, sea shells and country music.
Prompt and friendly service. We ordered:Eggs bene, full breakfast, iced mocha, black forest frappe. My full breakfast tasted delicious, I enjoyed all of it was well seasoned and not bland. Also apparently bread cooked fresh that morning which I thought was a great touch. My black forest frappe was different but I liked it. My sister enjoyed her meal and couldn't get through all the eggs bene.
I would love to come back here for dinner with the great views.
For dessert and coffee only. It was fabulous! Bread pudding and cheesecake was delicious.
It's not cheap, but you pay for the breathtaking view.
I have not been here in a while (about 2 years however every time I have come for dinner here the view is fantastic and the meals are divine. It is not only about the food but the experience that you get while eating your meal looking out and over Auckland city. Its also a great place to stop after a killer bush walk in the waitakere forest for a quick snack or family brunch. A++
Had a wonderful meal at Elevation yesterday. The views are stunning, the service friendly and attentive and the food was very tasty and filling, however the menu is quite simple. Had the tuna melt and the chicken tenderloins both were very enjoyable. The atmosphere is pretty dull but totally worth the visit for the view.
Located in the Waitakere on the road to Piha. This Cafe has the most stunning views over all of Auckland and beyond. The service was friendly and informative. The meals were delicious, with a highlight being the homemade style bread. This truly is a hidden gem if you don't know it. Reservations are recommended.
The view is amazing, its a unique and best view in Auckland to dine, a must to try. Service is good, salad is fresh, food is delicious and well prepared. It is a bit expensive but it is worth a try and worth the ride up.
The view is stunning! Like they said on Menu, it is the best view of Auckland. Food is average, but the view is worth to visit.
I love the pizza, steak and fish and chips. It melts in your mouth! Could have been 5 stars but unfortunately i saw the chef mixing the salad with bare hands. :( Definetely will come back again but wont be ordering salads next time.
Great view food.. food was okay. I liked the Thai green curry.. rest of the food was average based on price they charge. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Popped into this place on the way back from doing one of the walking tracks. Chocolate Frappe really hit the spot after the walk! Staff were friendly and were on to it, talking orders quickly and checking in on us.
I had the beef steak burger with chips. The chips were great, crispy on the outside but nice and fluffy on the inside. The burger also gets a thumbs up from me, I usually stay away from steak burgers because I often find them difficult to bite through the meat without looking like an animal ripping into something but this meat was nice and tender.
Will definitely return to this place if I'm in the area.
The view was amazing! The pork ribs and pork sliders were very tasty!! The staff were friendly. The portion was good. The only thing that annoyed me was when i had to pay a surcharge of 9 dollars for the sirloin steak. The terms of the voucher stated that there is a surcharge for the scotch fillet, which is fair because thats 34 dollars. But the sirloin was much cheaper. Also we weren't told about it when we ordered. The steak was tasteless with only a bit of salt and pepper, no sauce. We couldn't finish it. When I seemed reluctant about the surcharge, the staff said that that's just the policy and he also just found out from the manager. It was a bummer!! BUT! With that said, we had an amazing time taking photos and we would like to go back with friends and have the ribs again!
Excellent place for your weekend brunch. Delicious food. Superb view. Must try breakfast of champignon. Very polite and helpful customer service team.
Went here for brunch after our bushwalking around Oratia area with my mates. The place has done some improvements since I was last here. Nice cute landscaping by the entrance. Coffee was good bit cold but maybe I can request for extra hot next time. Food is okay. Great views.
We had brunch at this place with family, cosy, of course elevated with a deck to appreciate nature, food takes a little longer to prepare, delicious however small portions against the price we pay, still highly recommended.
