    Have eaten there a few times now, portions very filling. Service prompt and friendly. Hardly any delay even when arriving without a booking.

    Blimey, there's some poo reviews here…read more.. We come here every now and then and it's not that bad... Yeah, they can be a bit hit and miss sometimes, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they are as crap as some of the reviews here... Apart from the steak comment, it is kinda meh for a steakhouse. A few years ago I had 3 beers tipped in my lap by an unco waitress. It think she was trying to find the quickest route to my pee pee by cutting out the middle man. They seem to mainly hire teens, so service is either over enthusiasm or slight disinterest... Kinda funny either way. But it hasn't stopped us from coming back. The staff that have been here for ages are always really good too. El Burrito (chicken one) is nice Chicken crepe is nice Weiner schnitzel and chicken one is nice Sizzling Fajitas are nice Tried the entree special - Butter chicken... And I can make a better one from scratch to be honest, but it was ok. They have a Broncos card for $40 for a year which gives you one meal free, and other deals, so it works out way cheaper than eating at somewhere like Maccas. So, leave high expectations at the door and leave afterwards with a full belly. 4 stars from me, don't be put off by the slightly harsh reviews.

The restaurant played cozy jazz music. The food came in almost immediately. The calamari salad was toasty and crunchy. The feta gave it a good kick with the greens. The seafood salad was thick and well portioned. The ciabatta that came with it was toasted right with some butter. The beef salad was supposed to be served warm on top of the salad as described in the menu, but it came in room temperature maybe because it was drenched in their secret sauce. It tasted like a thick Italian dressing with a tad of heat. The portioning was enough since we didn't want to have a heavy dinner being so late at night. I give it a four star for the quality of food. Nothing exceptionally extraordinary. My friend came here and had the seafood salad and would come back for it.

    I arrived on a cold and windy night, from the outside Bazza's looked warm and inviting and quiet…read more It was not until I got inside the door that I realised I should have made a reservation. But seriously - who does that in Pukekohe? This isn't anywhere close to the city where it's pretty much expected now. Luckily we were able to be seated right away - but It was directly opposite the door and whenever it was opened and closed a big gust of cold wind came past us. Not to be ungrateful because I would have to say at least five groups of people were turned away, who like me thought they could just turn up and expect a table. Clearly a very popular place to come! Our waitress was warm and welcoming and was easily able to provide us with recommendations for what to get depending on our appetite. I decided to stick with a classic steak, with onion crisps and béarnaise sauce washed down with a nice glass of red wine! I was told it was pretty decent and not to worry about getting an entrée. When the main arrived, I was not left disappointed by not ordering the entree, the main itself is a whole meal. I found the steak to be cooked quite nicely, medium rare. The béarnaise sauce suited the steak excellently... the only let down was the onion crisps, I say crisps because according to their menu it's suppose to be onion rings... but these were cooked well past that stage. Some tasted nice other tasted like burnt crisps you get at the bottom of a roast. Not entirely a bad thing! Even though the place was obviously busy it didn't feel like we were being pressured to hurry up and leave so they could turn the table over for the next group. The wait for our food was fairly average for the size and for the crowd, a busy place means a busy kitchen 35 mins - 45min. There are three places in Pukekohe that now specialise in Steaks. I'm having a really hard time to differentiate them. Each have their own sense of style and do the basics well, which is all a steak lover really wants. For this reason.. I'm calling it a tie for the time being. I am happy to rate them as follows; Food 4 / 5 - Shame about the over done onion crisps (rings) Service 4 / 5 - Warm, friendly and accommodating Price $33.00 - In line for what you get compared to other places Atmosphere 4/ 5 - Popular by nature Overall - 4 /5 - Book early and avoid the table by the door!
