I have been admiring the steady stream of instas feat. Bedford's house-made sodas and pretty…read moreflowers garnishes for a couple of weeks now so was chuffed when the opportunity arose for me to try this new p.central addition for myself. We popped in for a drink pre-lunch and immediately appreciated the laid-back vibe. The waitresses, who wear there own clothes were both donning cute floral shorts and t's when we went and were friendly in a casual/cool way. When we arrived they told us to grab a table wherever and being another glorious day we headed straight outside to nab one of their high 6-seater tables drenched in afternoon sun! The drinks menu is extensive and divided into sections - punch pitchers, Bedford daisies (refreshing, lighter cocktails), Bedford ballers (stronger, more manly numbers) and liquor-laden floats. There is also a wide range of teas and non-alcoholic beverages. After much deliberation, we went for a pitcher of Aperol Spritz ($35) - Prosecco, Aperol, fresh peach, citrus, grapefruit bitters, herbs. It arrived pretty as a picture, with flower/herb garnishes in the glasses as well as the pitchers. We only ordered one serving but it came in two smaller pitchers and was easily enough to fill 5 glasses. I'll admit, I found it a little lacking in the flavour dept but it was v.refreshing! Yet to try the food (/meatball) menu, but for those who have spent time in NYC it looks similar to the meatball shop incl. laminated menus and markers for you to tick you choice of meatball and sides. Looking forward to heading back and trying more of their concoctions - I can see this is going to fast become a summer favourite.

Ever since I went to The Meatball Shop in New York i've been wondering when i'd see one pop up…read morehere! They've taken the exact same aesthetic where you mark with a whiteboard marker on a laminated menu what type of meatball, sauce and sides you want. You can have meatballs and a carb side and sauce. Or a sub or slider. The interior is cool and good music quite loud which I like for this type of establishment and the wait staff all really cool too except for one girl who was quite unaccommodating with us when we asked obvious questions like can you get more than one sauce. I guess they've just opened so have some teething issues - the food took FOREVER - it was a mid week lunch time and considering all the meatballs and sauces are already prepared I don't get why it should take so long. Anyway when it came it was all pretty good. The corn was so delicious in its flavoured butter and the subs were wicked, perfect bernaise and tomato sauce and really herby meatballs encased in a really soft sesame seed bun. We also shared the meatballs paired with spagehetti and sauce but done this way its super expensive, 3 x meatballs for $12 then $3 for each sauce you want and $4 for a carb side (Spag, mash, polenta etc) so for a tiny tiny dish its minimum $19 - they really need to look at this. Also everyone loves sauce so extra sauces should be a $1 or something.

Looking out at the water. Very peaceful and beautiful scenery. I ordered the fish and chips. And it came with a garden salad. So great plate. 2 big pieces of fish and steak fries. The salad was great. Not sure if the dressing. But it went well with the salad. Very well balanced. I had their popular APA. And then told him to surprise me. And that beer was similar to a Sierra Nevada. So I was well pleased. I came here for a late lunch. Just been behind on time. But I'm on holiday. So it doesn't matter. The atmosphere here is grand. Lots of people eating mainly on the patio. Such a beautiful day. Sun out drinks out. They do have umbrellas for the protection of a bad time. Sunburning and drinking is not a great time. I didn't have the dessert. So you will have to ask the waiter or lol at another review. But they sounded great. But had to leave to catch a boat. My over all expectations and experience was great. Lived up and surpassed. I would come back here again. And when I say that. I mean. I'm planning another trip back.

Visited on a Thursday evening, and it was indeed the busiest place on the north wharf (one of the…read morereasons we picked it). We ordered the Thai salad, spicy pepperoni pizza, seafood risotto, and ended it with their white chocolate ice cream. ....the white chocolate ice cream was the best part of the meal. LoL? To be honest, the risotto had good flavor, but the clams and muscles in it were over done (chewy). The Thai salad and the pizza were just okay. After seeing what other's ordered, I felt like maybe we should definitely have ordered the fries. Oh well...

Where do I begin.... This place had so much promise & yet failed to deliver in SO SO so many…read moreplaces. I read the menu for this place online & I was hooked in with the Mac n' Cheese & chicken & waffles. I took my parents with me & mum was equally excited with the menu. Right so they had an offer that on paper sounded like a sweet deal, three course meal without a drink, $49 each. Right? Not the worst price. But & there is a but the food was truly ordinary. Let me explain. Truffled mushroom Macaroni & cheese. Sounds great, could have been phenomenal... Could being the operative word. Instead there was this amazingly tasty crunchy cheesy topping underneath was a gritty, grainy powdery pasta that reminds me of that stuff you buy in the supermarket in the packet. So disappointing because I have been craving a really creamy moorish Mac n' Cheese. The main boy oh boy was I looking forward to this. I had Roscoes chicken and waffles when I was in LA & I compare it to that every time. What I got was so laughably bad, I physically chuckled. I got what can only be described as the single worst panne ever! The coating was forced together, leaving the chicken a good couple of millimetres between it & the 'breading.' Then the waffle, they are supposed to be crispy on the outside soft and pillowy on the inside. Not flat, chewy & Lukewarm. Finally dessert, an icecream sandwich. Three scoops of vanilla between 2 chocolate chip cookies. On paper again delicious. I am a massive fan of the dairy's icecream sandwich from Ponsonby Central. This one... Nope. Just don't bother. The cookies had too much sugar so they were hard as bullets, the icecream was so cheap I think they forgot to put vanilla in the icecream because it didn't taste of anything. The last thing I will say about this meal... I had the snickers thick shake. Decadent, chocolatey & peanuty but completely ruined by it have so much sugar in it by the end of my meal I had a tummy ache from all the sugar I had eaten. I won't speak for my parents meal... The one positive, service was great. Fast, efficient & friendly. That is why this meal doesn't get no stars.

They have a few magazines to keep you occupied and chairs for you to occupy, or probably you should just pop over to the handy liquor store while you're waiting. There's also a dairy so really it's a really convenient corner to stop on just before a party. Although that probably depends on where the party is. Anyway, they make good chips, they usually always give you at least one more potato fritter than you ask for and the fish (in my past experience, seeing as I'm now vegetarian) is suitably battered and tasty. All the right amount of greasy.

As somewhat a fish and chip connoisseur (I've definitely reviewed a few of them), I can say they do seriously good fish and chips. I'm pretty sure I visited it twice in a week once.

There is so much more than fish and chips here too, with delicious looking salads, fish cakes, gourmet burgers, even ready made meals like seafood chowder are available. I remember there were some really recent magazines available to look at while waiting for your order too. Once you've got your order, why not eat it down at the beach? It'd be rude not to!
