We were greeted with smiles and even though the kitchen was closing they were more than happy to open for us. Nice. We ended up just drinking and were very pleased with the friendly table side service. All staff seemed to be Spanish, happy and welcoming. We drank Spanish beer and wine. Good reasonable prices. Although we didn't eat, we definitely plan to next time and I can recommend the cold drinks and excellent service. I'm sure the food would follow suit. Seating options are tables and leaners and outside there is a courtyard with seating. Decor is pleasing and I'm looking forward to heading back in to see those smiling faces.

We had falafels and the roasted eggplant. The sauces are amazing. We ended up ordering more of the same dishes as they were so good. We are going back for dinner tonight with friends as we have to try more of their dishes. The service was warm and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and dining al fresco was great at lunch time.

Okay so why would Ohio transplanted Arizonans visiting Takapuna Beach go to a restaurant called…read moreMexico? Well, because we can! I have to say I was suspect, but they had Me at hello! The decor and the whole cozy little beach bar vibe is Spot on! Just loved the rustic tables and the family style place settings. Really kitschy in a great way. I had to get Sangria. It was a hot day and well what else can I say? I got the carafe for me, but ended up sharing with friends. Its a tall bit of really tasty goodness. We started off with homemade crisps and salsa. The salsa was nice and spicy with a smokey backtone I really liked. I got skirt steak taco and it was superb. The pico was a mango citrus cilantro taste that really worked well with the steak and the quite lite and deelish tortilla. Very nice combo. Got the Mexican fried chicken and man was It good. Deeply seasoned tenders lightly fried and served with two sauces that both worked magic with the chicken. I added some of the smokey salsa to the mix and oh that was great! Spicy too. I like my meat hot and spicy. No disappointments here! The only minor thing is portions are small and a tad pricey. But if you are here to eat, do yourself a tasty favor and sample. You can and you'll love it aaaaaannnnddd you won't feel guilty doin' it. ; ) The service start to finish was excellent. I don't think any of us weren't taken care of expertly!

Theoretically in my opinion I don't need to have to write a whole review about here....one word…read moresums it up...FANTASTIC!!! ( or any other similar large words of praise one can think of ) But I should mention a bit more about this Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant which has recently opened in the middle of the city. For a start the interior looks good and as one would expect of somewhere not long opened very clean. The service standard as I have found in most japanese restaurants is very good. With a smile and efficiently. As for the food ...it was delicious. We went at lunchtime and had the teppanyaki. The chef was very good at setting fire alight on the hot plate, so lots of photo opportunities there. I started with Japanese Garden Salad with the chefs salad dressing ...very nice. Of course there was miso soup. Prawns followed with yum yum sauce which was definitely yum yum. I know I may say it a lot.....but it was so delicious. Then beef with seasonal vegetables and rice. Oh, don't forget I washed it all down with an Asahi beer. Nice...Overall top marks and hope it stays that way.

The inside of this establishment reminded me of the décor at Mexico though I still loved it and…read morethought it had a good feel. Blunderbuss was a little bit of a blunder on what I heard to be good pizza's. The duck was barely there as wasn't the leek and the only flavour was the caramlised red onion. A nice thin base but I just wish there was a little more topping for $20 and a bit more flavour. Thankfully although it was not my expectation to get it free, I just wanted them to acknowledge from my complaint that the pizza was below par, The Manager took it off the bill. On a good note the Polenta fries and aioli was perfect and tasty. The Holoumi was nice with the mushrooms and salsa verde. The service was great because it was quiet and the cocktails were good too. The Manager did tell me to come back and give them another go but considering I live on the other side of the bridge and have a few good pizza places over here I don't think I'll bother.

Bases are home-made and if you need it, they have gluten-free bases as well- wonderful. We got the Funghi Pesto which had mushrooms of course paired with pesto. More greens from the rocket with buffalo mozzarella and truffle oil- fancy! Also got their Quattro stagioni which had my fave proscuitto with more mushroom, olives and artichokes. Couldn't go past without getting some sides so got their moreish shoestring fries that came with porcini salt and aioli. We sat in the front with their leather wall couch and industrial metal chairs, right next to the floor to ceiling metal grate storage units. This made our own little cubby space and separate area from the more open dining space near the central outdoor patio. Beautifully displayed wholesale tomato cans, limoncello and other more practical goods stockpiled for an apocalypse. Had a similar theme with their drinks aisle on the way to the bar which makes for a good feature. Would love to come back in the evening to sit outdoors and do drinks or get a group together and hold down one of their long tables.

We decided to order a lot of food and went all out! We ordered the Roti Canai, Spicy Soft Shell Crab, Mamak chicken bites, and curry puffs to start. Then the Vegetarian Nasi Goreng for our main. All generous portions and all delicious!! The Roti Canai and Mamak Chicken bites were our favorite starters if you had to choose. The Nasi Goreng (similar to fried rice) was soooooooo yummy. It's all Tapas style but come with a big appetite if you order a lot like we did. Really great staff in a cute location!!

The service was very attentive, my server let me know I could do everything via QR or order with her. I ordered a lamb curry and some roti and just because I wanted to try it I also got 1 piece of the fried chicken. It was all really good, but honestly the chicken was the best part. Excellent flavor, cooked perfectly and just a little spicy. If I ever go back here I will probably go for the fried chicken meal. I had wanted to try one of the sweet roti options for dessert, but by the time I finished the chicken, roti and most of the curry, I had no room left for more.

This is probably some of the best beers I've ever had. I was recommended to come here when I'm in…read moreAuckland. I got the taster and just told them to get me what they recommend/what their most popular ones were. I ended up with the Peacenik Pilsner, Back in Black, Raspberry and Mango Sour, Fear & Loathing WCIPA, and Hazesteria. Honestly, I thought all of them was good, except the sour but I never liked sours in general. I think my favorites would be either the Fear & Loathing or the Hazesteria. The Back in Black was good as well. For food from Juke Joint I also ordered the steak & cheese burger, which was also great and definitely filled me up. I also felt a bit of a buzz after finishing the third glass but the burger definitely saved me. Service was good. I ordered at the counter and they gave me a number to put on my table. They checked up on me once in a while and were quick to bring me water when I requested it. The food wasn't life changing but the beers here are definitely worth trying out, even if you're not typically a beer drinker. I'm not, but I still loved them.

Brothers Brewery is a New Zealand staple beer producer, but unfortunately on my visit they…read moreannounced the brand was not doing well and the location close to my hotel was closing for good. I was thankful at least to visit their main location near Mt Eden and along the Auckland Beer Mile; based on my time here, I hope they turn things around and this place stays open for another visit next time. If you're in Auckland and a beer lover, this is worth the stop. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the big old factor is cozy and welcoming despite the large profile. They have areas of big comfy sofas, high top tables, and seating for any size group. You walk in along the offices, with restrooms toward the back. The night I was there pub trivia was going on - I jumped in with a team and won $50NZD! The brewery area takes up most of the space, with high ceilings you feel like you're in the middle of the production even at night. The staff here was all welcoming and super friendly to talk about the beer and put together a flight. This ended up being my last stop along the Beer Mile that day, but I was thankful I got a chance to come. Cheers and best of luck Brothers Brewery!
