We went to waiheke island for a wine tour, and our guide recommended this place for dinner. It had…read morea local feel to it which is what we were going for. We got there right at the end of happy hour and got a glass of local wine. My husband ordered the clams for dinner and loved them. They were unfortunately out of the scallops I ordered (still sad) so I tried the seafood pasta. The pasta is made in house and was very fresh. The prices were reasonable for local seafood. We would definitely go back!

As we kept on reordering the standard and consistency of the ribs dropped like less sauce and tougher ribs. Would've been good if they kept bringing the sides too like those potato chips and salad. Drinks are expensive as well. Almost like or as bad the town prices. But overall a good experience and would recommend to meat lovers

Food was amazing but service was shocking! Worst I think I have ever had.

Young Maori girl took the order of someone who. sat down after us and was clearing tables when we were obviously waiting to have our order taken. Every time we needed something had to get up and ask. This girl and another staff member chatting with each other when there were empty drinks on table and I we had our plates removed with empty drinks on the table and no one asking if we wanted another - whoever owns this place lost a fortune in sales this night. Finally approached this girl about her behaviour and she sneered at me rather than apologise! 5 minutes later she was chatting with her friend again!!! Wouldn't go back.

We have dropped in for after hours dessert on one other occasion as applejack. And while that experience was good, it's pretty hard to mess up dessert. This review is based on a full breakfast. We walked and engaged with staff who let us free roam a table. We chose outside on the patio. Good mix of large and small tables. Excellent flow and decor. Howick was packed and our usual cafes looked far to busy for my ideal. So it was nice to have a scattering of other patrons, and the space between tables felt really good. We tried to order a latte bowl, only to be told they come in mugs, OK fine.... No big deal.... But imagine my surprise when a tiny dinky half tumbler glass came out. Half foam! I pointed out I ordered a mug.... To which a sheepish "this is how latte is served here" was uttered by or server. I rolled my eyes and sighed and sipped the foamy latte. I ordered a Bacon and eggs on toast, convincing my fellow breakfast seeker to get the big breakfast so I could pick at his mushrooms and hash. We both asked for grain toast. Once again surprised with the result this time he had grain and my plate had white... I sent my plate back. By the time I was able to start my partner had wolfed down two thirds of his breakfast. And my bacon was half cold, and sunny side up eggs over cooked. None of these faux pas were acknowledged upon settling the bill... Which also seemed pricy, especially given the rather blasé service. I won't be rushing back anytime soon which is a shame given the ample parking and eye catching location

The real winner for this bar is the cute outdoor area out the back. It has fairy lights (Who doesn't love those!), and the music level is perfect for chatting with friends. We went here on a Friday night and it was very quite. I'm not sure that it ever gets super busy because Iv only ever seen a handful of people here. Don't take this as a bad sign though! It is definitely worth a visit. They do cocktails and alcoholic milkshakes! Interesting concept but I haven't tried one

For an ad hoc dinner choice it is casual but has a great wine list and good food. The Wednesday steak night is great. A beer in the deck in the weekend is also a great way to break up a weekend walk. The only downside is that it is a little cold in the winter as the heating is not good and smokers leave the door open. It looks cosy but needs more heat. Overall it's the best place in mission bay.

There isn't one place I have frequented more in the last two years than The Attic…read more One of my favourite spots in Mission Bay, it has a great view that goes nicely with a cold pint of your fancy and their delicious "Snattics." The entrance is tucked away on Tamaki Drive so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. While a few menu changes have happened over the course of my visits, they've kept to their roots and just continued to improve on an already great menu. I'm a big lover of their Attic tasting plate- if you're a first timer this is a great way to get a bit of everything at a fraction of the price. I enjoy places that cater for drinks and nibbles as well as a full dinner meal, and The Attic executes both of these quite well. There's plenty of seating available, from outdoor tables and stools to warm fireside couches- so no matter the occasion, weather or appetite, there's something at The Attic for everyone.
