It's right by the water with view of different boats and little bit of nightlife surrounding. The place was very busy, but we were able to get seated right away outside and thankfully, they did have the heated lamp for us. We have shared the seafood platter, which came with variety of oysters, clams, shrimp, and sashimi. Honestly, the quality of any of these were not up to par. Especially for the price that you're paying here you should probably be better getting some steak. I didn't think the seafood was fresh. The service was ok, nothing really stood out.

We had reservations and got a lovely table near those windows. They recommended sharing plates so we had the pappardelle which comes with a lamb ragu, the monk fish, and the cauliflower side. The main courses were excellent. The ragu was a nice comfort food with a rich taste over homemade noodles. The monk fish was light and tropical with a fennel and fruit side. These two dishes were nice compliments of each other. The cauliflower wasn't my fav but it was more of a personal taste so don't keep me from having you try it. I chose a local wine which was delicious. Love trying local wine when possible. We walked from our hotel so no parking worries. Service was excellent.

Luckily I found this place when I worked nearby and would often pop in to grab fillets for dinner. Now I make a special trip because like I said, this kind of place is RARE AS, as my son would say. The owners are absolutely lovely and you get that warm community feel of a proper local fishmonger who greets you with a smile on arrival and wishes you a good day when you leave. They also often tuck in a lemon for me and it's those little things that make all the difference. The fish is fresh as can be and not priced at the rip-off rates of some other places I could mention. It's really important to support these small but perfectly formed businesses so give it a go next time you are going to treat yourself (because let's face it, fish is never going to be the cheap staple it should be) to a fish dinner, come here.

Right after they opened we stepped inside and were much more comfortable. The restaurant has a proper indoor area, but also an outdoor/indoor area that allows for fresh air while keeping you covered with a glass roof and large heaters. We sat here so we could watch the busy boats and rain outside. We were seated by a nice host and got a funny waiter. We split some warming food, including a delicious hot seafood chowder. It ended up getting busy around lunch; they advertised various lunch specials guaranteed in a short time to cater to office workers in this area of the city. It's also nearby lots of pleasant walking areas. I recommend eating here while visiting Auckland.
