The atmosphere here is really nice as you can sit outside on the deck and enjoy the sunshine while dining. The actual food is ok. Nothing too impressive but I did order snack food like fries and pizza.
Absolutely amazing meal. Very nice place to eat and atmosphere was so relaxing. Can't wait to come back and I love the fact that you are in the heart of gulf harbour close to where we live.
We live in Gulf Harbour so come here occasionally for a drink and hot chips with the kids. Last night we decided to attempt taking them out for dinner. We arrived early as we knew it would be quiet at that time and were greeted and the girls given activity sheets to keep them occupied. As usual the staff were amazing with the girls. Our food was all really good! I had the fish which came with potatoes, I loved the flakes of salt. It could have done with some greens (I should have asked for this) but the girls kids meals both came with a yummy salad which I ate. We also had pudding after. Tiramsu was really good, cheese cake and the girls icecream also went down a treat. Thank you to the staff who go the extra mile.
Fantastic food 5/5,service awesome 5/5.
Great choice of wines and a real pint of beer. Wonderful live music on saturday nights and Sunday days. More people should be trying this restaurant. If you haven't - why not?!
Such a beautiful location, viaduct quality food at gulf harbour prices. Fantastic new owner that goes out of his way to make you welcome as do all the staff! What an amazing transformation!!
What a wonderful time we had! From our first impressions warm greeting to paying the extremely reasonable bill as we left. I'm afraid I'm going to do a rave. The service was outstanding. The food was plentiful and delicious. The staff were ever-present, friendly and helpful.
And something most unusual in cafes around town - the coffee was excellent!
We travelled an hour to reach Gulf Harbour and we can't wait to go back. (I haven't said that about a cafe for years!)
Thanks very much team for making our Sunday special.
We've had two meals here in the last 2 weeks. We hadn't been in for years but had heard great things lately so decided to give it a go. Honestly the best meal we've had in a while. It was quite busy but the service was still good. Will be back again soon for sure. Well worth a visit.
Awesome menu and food is always 5* great Marina location wether it be lunch or evening meal we have always been blown away by the quality and quantity of our meals.
Staff are friendly.
Well worth a visit!
We have been several times in the last couple of months for both brunch & dinner (Groupon vouchers), the food & the service has been excellent every time.
Lovely little place, and the reviews dont seem to give it justice. We went for a brunch on a groupon voucher. 55 dollars for 6 people. To be honest I wasnt expecting much for that cost and the reviews but we were very pleasantly surprised. Most of our table ordered the eggs Benedict type dish. It looked divine when it arrived, and it got rave reviews from everyone eating it. You could tell the food had been made with love and care and was cooked to perfection. Well done to the chefs. I had the fish and chips which again was cooked perfectly. Good sized portions and the service was great. No complaints from us at all. Even on a voucher type deal they still accommodated my sisters fussy habits who asked for ciabatta instead of the potato hash for the eggs benedict. The environment is also very nice with tables looking right out on the marina. Will definatley come again and highly recommend to others.
We had dinner at Carpe Diem restaurant on New Years Eve, with a new chef and management it was an all round great dining experience. The staff were fantastic and the meal, my husband had pork belly and myself the chicken, was excellent. For $65.00 on New Years Eve this was brilliant value for money. The party at the venue that followed was well organised and it looked like everyone had a fantastic time including us. We highly recommend and by the way my husband is a UK qualified chef! Well done Carpe Diem we will be back.
Lovely quiet and cozy restaurant with a beautiful view of the inner Marina, good food and wine.
AMAZING! This place definitely gives fine dining a run for their money! The quality of food, value for money, picturesque location, family environment, culinary skills, ambience and service is nothing less than OUTSTANDING! We had the most beautiful meal, Salt and pepper squid as an entrée made from scratch and 100% gluten free (not like the frozen box kind you get in most places), I had the chefs special dish of Lamb rump that was to die for! It was cooked to absolute perfection and generous portion sizing! My daughter had trouble selecting from the kids menu she wanted everything and she is a fussy eater! I have been to almost every restaurant on the Coast, North shore and Auckland city (a family of chefs and being in the trade myself) Carpe Diem is by far the best place I have been and well worth the trip. Thank you so much for your fantastic food and great service, we will definitely be back with all of our friends and family!

Good selection of food with reasonable prices. We found the kids meals quite generous, and the service, while average, was friendly.

Simple, tasty food. Casual outdoor dining - perfect for a sunny day. Very good prices.
