Steak burger inedible. If you are looking for a chewy cut of steak laced with tendons placed between hamburger buns, then look no further! You've found it. :). It was impossible to eat as a burger, so we had to deconstruct" the burger and use a steak knife. Even then

Food was cheap and nasty. Salmon was over cooked, dry, and tasted off. Cheese was that cheap stuff that tastes like plastic. Chips tasted like cardboard, and mash potatoes tasted like they came from KFC. They charge a premium price, between 20 and 40 for a meal. Do not recommend coming here, however the staff were very friendly.

Was such a nice surprise when our lunch came out, as the standard of presentation, and the choices, were a lot nicer than the previous owners had. We really enjoyed the food and the wonderful hospitality, especially from Sophie and her lovely co-worker. Very reasonably priced and opposite the Napier Conference centre of the Marine Parade. I would definitely recommend a visit here, especially in the summer where you can eat outside.

My chicken nibbles were dry and chewy and fatty. the chips were chewy. had no vegetarian patties for my vegetarian friends and no other options other than mushroom soup and as it was a hot day soup wasn’t an ideal match. the vegetarian platter however has about 10 chips. the samosas, spring rolls and onion rings weren’t crunchy like promised and when the curry puff was broken open the filling was crumbly, dry and smelled off. the tomato sauce was sour and the coke was flat as if it had been left out for days.

Grandkids love coming here. Friends is a family friendly restaurant with an affordable kids menu. Kids love the curly fries! with their choice of ice cream. Staff always attentive and friendly on both occasions we have visited.

Food was disappointing. Chicken tenders were disgusting, not real chicken! Steak burger had fatty steak and burnt bun. Pork panini was full of lettuce and hardly any pork, pork was not very nice at all. Won’t go back there again.

Ideal environment for our work function. Our large group was able to be seated together on one very long table. Delicious meal served by hospital and friendly staff. Had concerns about being able to attend due to a work appointment at 1pm but ordered promptly and was able to leave within the hour. Very happy!

Service was good, it’s a very big quite place the time I was there. The burger was decent and chicken tenders however they were very much just like supermarket standard. The pulled pork panini however was questionable. Just a plain panini with pulled pork no sauce mixed through the meat or any other substance to it so very dry and disappointing.

Got given soggy salad, ribs were cold,duck was cold and food came super quick only to realise food was terrible. Also we found it weird that there was no smell and we sat very close to the kitchen?? I looked good coming out but was horrible to eat. Felt like everything was put in the microwave and then served on a plate. She also tried telling me the vinaigrette made the salad soggy, I doubt that happens so quick if it was fresh. Felt like they put more on to hide the yucky lettuce. No happy. Am not going back!! EVER

This is a small portion of lamb shank - It fell right off the bone. No need for salt or pepper, it was seasoned perfectly. The 70’s rock music was at a nice volume, we could have a good conversation.The Art Deco Festival posters, and surf boat hanging from the ceiling add to the beach vibe. Heavily decorated with wooded tables, benches, and an occasional local artist work, that you could purchase.
