Disappointing food. Calamari so covered in garlic it was inedible. Ordered 2 kids chicken…read moremeals. One was huge. One was tiny. Staff don't seem to care about anything. Sitting under dripping water. Oh it's just from the air conditioning. Well priced but I'd rather pay more for a good meal and this was not it. Can't blame staff shortages as there were plenty list standing around.

It's probably never a great idea to try out a new place a week or so after opening. However our…read moregroup was keen to explore a new pub option in Newmarket. There's not a lot of options to be honest. Anyway it's a nice enough spot on top of the new Westfield. Plenty of tables etc but unfortunately on a Friday lunchtime the kitchen obviously struggled to keep up with the demand. An hour wait for our food when on a lunch break was not good. Drinks were slow to arrive and unfortunately when they did and they were raised to toast "cheers" one glass literally had the bottom fall out. Staff were quick to react and mop up the beer but no apology, no offer to compensate. Two of our group were well covered by beer and trousers soaked. The manager should have done a great better job. Unfortunately our experience was rather tainted so not sure we would be rushing back. Still they probably don't care. It's location etc means they can probably survive without repeat business for now.

This is only for the dessert, have not had other food there yet…read more I remembered this restaurant through a food market tried their dessert looks very yum and taste quite different, very European and made by themselves unlike lots of other cafes no own made desserts. So I made my visit again to try other desserts. Still quite good. Like the Tiramisu.

This has to be the best German/Austrian food in the southern hemisphere…read more Valentine's schnitzel and Stefan's cakes and pastries are truly world class! Try the gypsy schnitzel and the sacher torte, amazing.

Bratwurst! If you have a mighty hunger for some fine European sausage then treat yourself to the…read moreepicurean delight that is Frankie's. There are 11 different flavours to choose from; from the basic frankfurter to the the Old Essex Banger, Spanish Chorizo and my personal favourite the Kransky, which is a mix of pork, herbs and Edam cheese. Not just the sausages but there are also a range of fantastic sides to get excited about. Potato salad, pickled gherkins (oh my gosh yum), mushy peas and chilli cheese fries! So you can really tailor your meal to your own personal tastes or a specific geographic area if the mood takes you. While I'm not really one for eating in food courts, the atmosphere and concept at Elliott Stables is really something quite different altogether.

Situated opposite Frasers in the middle of the Mt Eden Village, Mosaik is in a prime location…read more Both a cafe, bar and restaurant, Mosaik serves a variety of food and beverages and means regardless of your mood or appetite, there will be something on their menu that will appeal. I have been to Mosaik on three occasions and each has been very different, though all were enjoyable. The first time was for lunch midweek. A delicious homemade burger and salad with ice cold juice was exactly what I was after, and sitting in the sun devouring it was perfect. The second time was for a 21st birthday party. Mosaik has an upstairs function room that can be hired, complete with a second bar and room enough for a wee dance floor. It was a great, cosy venue and with no room hire fee, a fantastic place to keep in mind. My most recent Mosaik experience was for a Sunday night birthday dinner. Glasses of wine, bottles of bubbly, Mezze platter, and huge portions of pasta for our mains - we had waaaay to much food but felt we'd definitely got our money's worth. The staff are all incredibly attentive, and even bought our dog a bowl of water to drink upon our arrival. The only downside was the bathroom doesn't get quite as much attention as you'd hope - the bins are often overflowing with paper towels. But aside from this, Mosaik is a great place to dine, catch up with friends and family, people watch and celebrate!

As the ambassador of Miss Africa Auckland, we needed a venue to host a meet and great for the…read morecontestants. The venue that suited our needs was Mozaik Mt Eden. We were on the upstairs level away from the busy restaurant and when I walked into the room the chairs had been set up, the muffins we had requested were covered and the room was perfect. We managed to fit about 15 girls into the venue without a hustle and the area on the far right of the room was perfect for us to shoot a promo video. Although we where upstairs, we were well looked after by wait staff who would ask if we needed any drinks or anything else. The staff were also more than happy to escort some of the girls who got lost upstairs. The muffins were amazingly delicious and the coffee was roasted to perfection! I recommend this location for birthdays and get togethers! Nothing beats excellent customer service.
