I'm torn on this one. The atmosphere is so lively and modern, and the staff are THE FRIENDLIEST people I have ever had wait on me. It was so cool to watch people surfing from a restaurant across the street. It was a wonderful experience, except that we both got the stuffed pig breakfast burger and hated it. The hot chocolate was great. The pastries and confectionaries, especially the boysenberry tart, were SO GOOD that I'm still wishing I could find something that compares elsewhere. I wish I'd bought every boysenberry tart they had. They're incredible. Just wish the actual breakfast had been better and less expensive.
Fast friendly service... was our first time here and we loved it.
Best experience I've ever had.
Thank you for all you happy friendly faces, we loved ever minute of our time and will keep coming back.
What can i say, perfect service, food made with Love, views to die for. Catered for Gluten Free re Pizza plus many other options. Very Happy 5 Stars.
Interesting Menus, A Delightful Surprise
I visited this restaurant on the beautiful Waipu Cove to chill out, and I must say, the tap beers were fascinating. It was a treat to taste my favourite local brewery beer, McLeods. (Note: I'm aware there is a pizza shop associated with the brewery. Unfortunately, when I visited on a Monday, the pizza shop was closed. However, if you have the chance to swing by, I highly recommend trying it.)
Back to the Cove, it was intriguing to see the chef infuse traditional Korean flavours such as Gochujang sauces and Kimchi into some dishes. We initially thought the chef might be Korean. Although we opted for Fish and Chips (a great pairing with beer), at the last moment, we added Korean-style beef tartar to our order. The introduction on the menu seemed quite genuine, and we couldn't resist our curiosity. End up, we were pleasantly surprised; the taste was almost as good as what we've had in Korea. (By the way, we are Koreans living in Aotearoa.)
The Fish and Chips were hot and crispy, just as good as they get, and the beer was fantastic too.
We asked if the chef was Korean, and surprisingly, they were not. What's even more interesting is that the chef has a good understanding of Korean food and how to create a harmonious blend. We can't wait for our next visit to try other items on the menu.
For those reading this lengthy review, all the other dishes looked appetising, and you can chill out while enjoying the beach view. I highly recommend soaking in the sea breeze with a fresh beer in hand.
Great meal here, better than I remembered, super fresh ingredients, all meals in our group were thumbs up, pretty good wine list and fantastic views
This spot is just amazing! The staff is beyond nice and friendly.
Good place if you have a large group, kids and/or dogs.
The food is good. My chicken burger was really nice and huge portion.
Epic beer/alcohol selection! And also good coffee.
Menu could be a little smaller, as I reckon the kitchen might a difficult time with their prep.
Worth the stop! Also if you only want some cabinet food.
Food was fantastic, I we the margarita pizza and Berry banana smoothie and coca cola for 47$, service was nice and beautiful views.
I was there on a public holiday weekend so it was a full house & a bit of a wait for my main meal. It was not a problem though, the meal was well worth the wait! The breakfast in the morning was also really good. If you are in the area this is the place for good quality food & drinks.👍
Came for dinner. Exceptional service from start to finish. The waiters were professional while maintaining such a relaxing vibe. It is best to make a booking before coming as this bat/restaurant was surprisingly busy considering how remote its location is.
Amazing selection of delectable cakes 🤩 food was awesome .
