We visiting from overseas and are in town for only one night before flying to the South Island, and stopped in for dinner on a Sunday night. The place was pretty quiet, with only a few other guests dining, so it was a nice place to eat and recover from our long flight. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was delicious. We got the breaded calamari as an appetizer (nice big pieces, with a sweet chili sauce), a venison meat pie with yummy mashed potatoes, and the "kiwi burger", which was topped with bacon and egg, and a heaping of fries. All the food was delicious, and we walked out stuffed and happy! Highly recommended for travelers staying in the area.

It's a lovely looking bar I think it must be quite new because all the furniture looked that way. Not the place itself though, it was really classy but rustic with mood lighting and lots of seats which I love, too many places don't offer enough seating and everyone just has to stand around. Their outside deck area was where we spent most of our night, they had outdoor tables and stools as well as a more comfy option...the outdoor sofa. They had two tv screens which she used to display pictures all evening. The bartender was pleasant and friendly and everyone looked like they had the best night.

I tried the Cherry cocktail, and my wife had the strawberry & rhubarb chiller. There was more ice than cocktail itself, which was a shame as it was very good, although a bit pricey for what you got, @ $18. We shared the AntiPasto Platter which was nice, the crackers used were the ones you can buy from the local supermarket. It too was expensive for what you got @ $31. As we were leaving several groups people also rocked up keen to try, but were turned away. If you want to try this place, I really recommend making a booking first. We shall visit again.

We then sat down and we were one of two groups at the bar. Two more staff then started their shift and all there members of stay then began to speak loudly about their personal lives.

No one asked us if were ok or if we needed anything instead they all continued to look at themselves in the mirror and gossip.

From the chic decor to the smart uniforms and exemplary service, 46 & York is a welcome addition to the Auckland bar scene! Housed in a brick and weatherboard style villa with wooden floors and TWO outdoor areas, it was perfect for the wide range of ages at the party. What's more, they even let us bring in our own decks and said we could stay until 3am! I'm excited to go back and try this place on normal night out. Their street side seating gets a tonne of afternoon sun so it'd be a great spot for after work drinks on a hot summers night.

All I can say is wow! The food is so fresh and made with such care. No long wait and while I didn't finish the pizza at sitting I took it back and ate it the next morning. The staff is very friendly and enjoy what they do. At the time of this writing I also ordered their classic burger. Once again it was very fresh and reminiscent of a smash burger which we have back in the states. Very yummy! I highly recommend Chill and Grill to anyone staying close. The atmosphere is very relaxing (albeit not for the occasional honking of cars outside) and it's very homely. From this yank, keep up the fantastic work!
