Pretty good hot chocolate here. Not the typical warm chocolate milk that most places serve. Service staff was very friendly and polite and loved the vibe. Will be back for some dinner in the near future.
Great food. Attentive service. Poutine is yummy!
Awesome steak, great vibe, love the outdoor feel of the place. Friendly staff and amazing drinks, would recommend the Swede As.
Great place to meet up with friends for drinks and snacks on a Friday night.
I hadn't been here for quite some time and it was good to be back.
It was busy but the bar staff and waitering staff were attentive and we got our orders quickly.
They had a dj playing some great tunes.
Its also a great place for people watching, you might see a few sporting and local TV stars out an about.
Definitely still a hotspot on Ponsonby Road
Had a great Father's Day lunch yesterday. Bit of a mix up when the food orders came out in the wrong order but Chelsey saved the day and put everything right. Well done Chelsey, you were great.
Use the excuse of shoes to not let you in when the club is full. Singled out guys (all the girls were allowed to stay in line) despite smart sneakers (mine were new All birds, not ratty running shoes). Bouncer was a good bloke about it, but just be straight up about the club being full instead of picking people out based on a insignificant element of what they are wearing.
Few occasions when bouncers didn't do anything about aggressive & drunk patrons on weekend nights. Good boogie place & music. Stunning when not weekend nights. Great food and good for groups. Cannot sit outside for a meal without being swamped by cigarette smoke.
Visited when I was back in NZ for a short trip ! This has changed a lot from when I was last here!
Was oddly quiet for a Saturday night. But a great place to catch up with friends !
Stopped here for dinner and was quite surprised that the food menu here wasn't too bad, most items around or under the $25 mark. The "big plates" were mostly over $30.
The sizes of the mains weren't too bad but the big plates for 2 were a bit small. I had ordered the lamb rack and it was enough to feed one (maybe two if you add multiple sides).
The service was fair, mostly because most of the staff were busy in the courtyard so the ones inside were a bit neglected. it you do end up sitting on the inside be wary that the music is on the loud side and they do turn into a club after 8-9ish so those seated inside are asked to vacate their tables.
I'm a seafood gal, and I've tried so many seafood dishes. This is probably where I had the best spicy squid! Don't forget to try their scrumptious shakes/smoothies - chocolate nutty is the one!
Loved the breakfast/lunch menu. Nice to experience attentive and polite service too. Would go back to try the next item on the menu at the drop of a hat. Food was delish
Their service is awesome. Meals are delicious and moderately priced. What surprised me the most was the kids meals. For $9 they have various options, and it includes a glass of fresh juice and a dessert (ice cream with sprinkles and a churro!). Definitely somewhere else to go back over and over again!
Great service and food. Just didn't like that people could smoke right where people were eating. The place had a cover so am not sure how they got away with saying it was outdoors.
