We were disappointed in the food at Basalt. The wait staff are great! Cannot be faulted.
But the food leaves a lot to be desired - over priced for what is served on your plate.
Four in our party - steak was cooked well, the fries were nice, but the portions for the price were small.
Kingfish Ceviche - the fish did not appear to be fresh.
Bruschetta - not bruschetta as would have been expected - maybe there should be a disclaimer that the Bruschetta is Basalts interpretation. There were very few tomatoes, a LOT of rocket and the bread was not toasted.
Garlic Bread - WHAT!!??? That's NOT garlic bread
Chicken Skewers - unseasoned chicken - perhaps it needed some salad with it. $16.90 for 2 skewers of chicken and some fries.
Smoked Chicken salad - Tasted better - I'm sure that was not smoked chicken.
Overall, the eating experience was bland.
Go upstairs for great experience. Enjoy the atmosphere and view.
The service was amazing and really prompt and the food was delicious. Love the staff here, they are really prompt and professional.
Great place to get lunch or dinner. One of the best, if not the best place in howick to get a bite to eat.
Great meal, great wine. Stonegrills are lots of fun. Staff were helpful if you're assertive enough to get their attention
Worth spending some quality time with friends but not as good as others. Service was awesome.
Not bad for a catch up with friends. Burger was really good and the service was excellent.
great bar nice for a few beers after work with a great rooftop bar as well as nice restraunt downstairs.
Nice place for s coffee and a smoke outside
Coffee takes a bit long sometimes but it's pretty good place
Weekdays not too busy which is perfect to chill out
The food never disappoints but the service varies. This place does stone grill very well and have a good selection of beers on tap.
Love meeting up for a drink with friends on the roof top here
2 out of 5 is being generous. I've never had a good meal here. Also over priced.
Tasty food, can be reasonable value, and the Stonegrill is a different experience if you haven't done it before.
Great spot for a meal or a beer. Roof top bar is great in summer.
The food is always great and the staff friendly. Make sure you try the garlic bread it is the best I have had in a long time. I have been coming here for years and it's one of my favourite places to eat in Howick.
