I love the Attic and it's a regular for me. It's great for an afternoon wine and snack or a…read moreweekend lunch. Also don't miss the special nights. 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.

A wonderful place to enjoy beautiful Mission Bay beach area. Grateful that many restaurants and…read moreshops in this area are open on Christmas Day. We walked here from Sea Life Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium. Staff was friendly, and the Waitemata seafood & mixed summer platter was a popular splurging option for many tables during Christmas Day lunch. The platter was good but wish it had more variety of seafood (there were too many mussels...). It is a nice platter to share for families with children because it had fried chicken, calamari, battered fish and bratwurst. After lunch, you can stop at Movenpick downstairs for some ice cream.

They have a lot of promotional signs but just be warned that it does require you to buy a drink. If…read moreyou end up purchasing an alcoholic drink, then what you save ends up being similar to the price you save (in a sense you get a free drink). If you planned to drink then it's perfect! The food is reasonably priced and the food is tasty. I'm not sure why the reviews are on the lower half, but I had reasonably priced food, friendly staff, and a good tasting meal. The different types of mussels on the mixed platter were tasty. On a promotional mussels day, the 1kg steamed mussels were a great price though I preferred the mixed platter more. The chicken brie burger was also tasty but nothing amazing. The eating area is on the second floor and if you get a window seat you can a view of the beach. On the inside it has a bar-like feel. The staff were friendly and were relatively attentive. Enjoyed the food and enjoyed the friendly staff. Enjoyed it!

The Dalmatia (aka Bean Rock) is a pleasant enough place with decent food. It is probably a 3.5 but…read morenot a 4 star for food. The scallop and prawn salad was good but the scallops needed to be cooked a little better to enhance their flavor. The salman, capers and feta pizza was great. Probably the best out of the 3 dishes we ordered. The mussel fritters were also ok but not outstanding. You certainly could do a lot worse than here but they need to make the most of their setting by upping the general quality.

Their front door was confusing but once we were in, we were allowed to pick our table which was nice and we chose one near the kitchen so we weren't near their side door with the chill coming in. Good waiter- showing us the drinks and tapa menu and explaining items. We had the wrapped oysters with bacon and cheese (which were delightful with lemon juice squeezed over), the cavapcici w onion & capsicum stirfry, ajvar & mustard (the sauces were great) and the panfried prawn cutters w garlic & white wine. Took some time to come out was great to have them out at the same time. And for dessert, stayed for the warm almond chocolate pudding w raspberry, chocolate sauce & vanilla ice cream. Decent restaurant in a lovely setting. Mission Bay sunset before dinner was perfect.

We were greeted with smiles and even though the kitchen was closing they were more than happy to open for us. Nice. We ended up just drinking and were very pleased with the friendly table side service. All staff seemed to be Spanish, happy and welcoming. We drank Spanish beer and wine. Good reasonable prices. Although we didn't eat, we definitely plan to next time and I can recommend the cold drinks and excellent service. I'm sure the food would follow suit. Seating options are tables and leaners and outside there is a courtyard with seating. Decor is pleasing and I'm looking forward to heading back in to see those smiling faces.
