Lovely lunch at the Jellyfish. Great views and delicious food. The pork belly bao and the Kokoda were standouts.

We went there for dessert and were pleasantly surprised with what we found.The creme Brule was served in a flatter plate resulting in more of that delicious Crack on top.The banana split looked Devine.The rhubarb was surprisingly tough, sadly, as if it had been cooked a little more it would have been a wonderful balance for the rich chocolate molten lava cake dessert.The waitress was very accommodating with this error.The log fire was a very pleasant addition on our cold winter night.Not too noisy too, which was nice.Great spot on the Mapua Wharf.

Overall pretty average experience. Food was OK, felt like the menu was represented wrong sometimes for example: large sharing was not that large, “loaded” fries just had vegetables on it and looked undercooked and lazily put together, when you hear loaded fries you assume there’s sauce/gravy, cheese, or bacon etc, should probably be labelled as Vegeterian loaded fries. “Seasoned” Kumara fries tasted like they just had salt on them?Staff are really nice and even though our meals did not take very long, we heard several other people around us complaining that their meals were taking too long and that they weren’t being looked after by staff. Even though we got our table, we saw that a group that had booked outside did not initially get to sit outside until a table had gone..overall wasn’t a terrible experience but would probably not eat their again or recommend for others to eat here. Staff were lovely though, best thing about this restaurant.

First visit back under the new management. The sharing plate menu is excellent. The portions are perfect. The mix of flavours and the quality was on song. Great advice from knowledgeable staff. The Bao dessert was truly amazing. Small but effective wine and drinks list. The large dining room and outdoor seating is perfect for larger groups.

Friendly service, meals came out fast and to top it off, I had the best squid ever! A wonderful restaurant located in an amazing part of New Zealand. A visit won't disappoint you, especially on a beautiful hot sunny day.

Perfect spot for lunch! Food is fabulous. Can highly recommend the cabbage & kumara tacos, the bao buns and the seafood chowder. Kumara fries were yum too. Service was fab, prices were good and restaurant was gorgeous. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Māpua.

Such a memorable lunch. The service was instantly friendly and welcoming. I had the beef tataki, which was stunning! If it is a southerly breeze but sunny, you can sit outside in the sun, sheltered from the wind. And with a view that is hard to beat.

chorizo and nduja rostie was certainly a new food for me to try! very tasty with a hint of spice from the chorizo and soft, poached eggs to contrast the crispy potato. side of kumara fries were crispy and seasoned nicely. yom
