The potatoes it came w were acceptable enough to eat and came w a side of sour cream that seemed it was just added on because they didn't know what condiment to add. Fish and chips- frozen fries (halfway cooked) and the fish (unknown kind) was mediocre. It lacked flavor although I gotta give it to them for having the great crispiness that I was looking for. Sticky pudding- tasted like a slice of old cake that was warmed up w a scoop of ice cream. Service was great- they were friendly and attentive but food was not great. I would suggest you skip it.

Very good food at affordable prices with a good selection of meals from Burgers or Sandwiches to a Roast of the Day or a juicy Steak. Good service with the typical NZ Beers on tap. I eat here several times times a month and have never been disappointed. The kids always like it here, especially when they beat Dad at Pool. Open from early until late. Very good value.

Dinner for four, a 'going away' party with special wine…read more All MAINS well executed, particularly the red meat choices. Grilled to perfection was my 400g rib eye, and accompanied by a tasty mixed greens dressed salad, chips not wanted but no substitutions. Starter platter was okay, a tippy platter, some cheeses and 'bits' could have used some 'imagination', maybe crudite and dips would have been nice..... For me....the wine list was local and VERY good, albeit no 'aged' wines. Solution: We got permission to BUY their YOUNG wine and sub in OUR AGED to perfection version from the same vintner, Peter Robertson, and his BROOKFIELDs HILLSIDE syrah = marvelous. (2016 bought from 'Off the Track' removed and cellared, the 2013 we brought from our cellar to consume in the restaurant.) Lovely stemware, my suggestion to decant fell on deaf ears sadly. Staff is pleasant in the family themed restaurant. Kiddies playing: Young ones leaving doors open to the outside play area constantly had us up and out of our seats to close doors on the cool evening last week = mildly amusing. Tasty food. Quality good. priced on the high side. 3.7 stars rounded up 4 stars on the yelp meter pics to follow

I first tried Hawthorne Coffee at the Hawke's Bay Farmers Market, and while the wait was super…read morelong, it was worth it. Their coffee is creamy, delicious and smells out of this world. I also picked up two bags of their coffee to take home, which is priced at $10 a packet - usually $13-$13.50 online! A few days later, we stopped by their cafe after exploring Te Mata Peak. The coffee, again, was perfect. Now, back in Auckland, I'm enjoying their plunger coffee at home, and it smells and tastes heavenly.

I ordered a long black hoping to taste the flavor notes written on their bag, but what I tasted instead was a lot of nothing. To be clear, I bought their Kenyan single origin beans that I've yet to try and I'm hoping for a better experience brewing the coffee myself. I went ahead and bought the bag because I saw a long line behind me and my past experience with any single origin coffee beans have been good. I was a bit disappointed not to see any "roasted on" date, which is usually an indicator by the roaster of their craftsmanship. Great roasters often add a "roasted on" date to let coffee aficionados know the freshness of the beans. Older coffee beans lose their flavors and anything older than 1-2 months are normally considered undesirable. Furthermore, I was surprised that the person who checked me out for the single origin beans had no idea what they were. I had to point out "Single Origin" on their menu for them to realize I was referring to their specialty coffee beans. They do have a cute menu and a small seating area inside. They roast their beans onsite and I watched the roaster work behind a glass window while I was there. Overall, I wasn't too impressed by their coffee, but it's possible I ordered the wrong drink.
