    Fish and chips, classic oysters, chicken crackling Caesar salad
    Opal T.

    I liked this place a lot, just think I ordered something that wasn't for me - but definitely willing to go back. After a day of walking along the harbor, we finally arrived at Marvel for wine, food, and people watching. I have no complaints about the service or the ambience. The experience itself was very relaxing, nice to catch s cool breeze by the water and watch the boats and seaplanes. The boy got the fish and chips (I found myself eating more of his meal than mine), while I got classic oysters and the chicken crackling Caesar salad. Starting with the good, the fish was battered and fried to crispy, golden perfection. The tarter sauce underneath had an herb essence and complimented the fish (and chips) beautifully. If I can recommend something, it'll be this dish! My salad, unfortunately was very heavy. Yes, a salad with fried chicken skin (and panko fried hard boiled egg) isn't the healthiest, but I assumed other elements would be lighter to balance out the dish. The salad was overdressed and had just too much bacon, which resulted in too much salt and heartburn. I suggest less of the bacon and dressing, perhaps some lemon on the side to brighten everything up. Besides this, I enjoyed Marvel. Wine selection is very good, mostly NZ obviously. They have monthly wine selections, as well as specialty cocktails and pitchers.

    Marvel Grill has a very classy yet comforting atmosphere, with hanging plants, tiny strands of lights and a well-stated decor. There is a dining area around the bar and kitchen which further extends outside among heaters and another smaller bar, that is still well enclosed from the elements for cold nights. The menu has the right selection of seafood delights, both local and common, along with a good share of meats and sides. The wine list could use some variety but there were a few craft beers available and cocktails to suit. We went with the Cobb Caesar salad, a large portion fit for sharing. Panko crusted anchovies and a hard boiled egg made it a unique and tasty twist on a classic. I highly recommend it. The seafood platter wasn't the grandiose towering dish we expected but actually served us well. Just the right amount of seafood types to sample. Two kinds of oysters, two types of fish, prawns and calamari. The beetroot marinated salmon was a surprising favourite along with the spicy oyster shooters. Service was decent but was awkward when it was clearly time to leave, as our plates had been cleared, dessert refused and still no check. We had to flag down the waitress. Still, it was a fantastic meal and the view overlooking the harbour couldn't be beat, unless it was a clear night.

    Mojito was nice, sweet and refreshing, the chicken burger was good but could have been better. (burger could have had more flavor).
