Ric GOctober 21, 2017Awesome place! Loved the 3 course meal, blackened tenderloin was so delicious and their Penne Ziti! Highly recommended
- Jessi @2feet1worldMarch 24, 2015Booked a big outside table to watch cricket in the sun - decent service, pulled pork burger was good. Some issues with menu drinks not being available.
- Scott MackenzieDecember 23, 2011You can ring up to book a table outside during the day. Worked for us just before Xmas.
Great service and very friendly staff. It's my kind of place 😊
ParagJuly 1, 2015Congrats on claiming the most expensive beer in Auckland! $9.60 for a 330ml bottle of Heineken.
Ivan GrigoryevNovember 25, 20131st time here. Ordered a beer and fries. No one from stuff told me they have 2 for 1 menu. Tried to pay +money to have fries + classics but they told that I have to pay full price. Meanies.
- Staff love to chat - to each other. Waited at bar for 12 mins, one person in front of me, three staff behind bar. Consistently awful bar service. But Old Mout on tap!
Shaun EvansSeptember 16, 2011Too cool for school ... No service, staff too interested in talking to serve customers ... Perhaps better at night?
