Every table but one has reserved signs on when we arrived We first visited in 2019, and in 6 years it's only improved. We both had the Hawaiian fish burger, which sounds simple enough, but it's the freshness of the fish that makes it special. Definitely give that a try. Great selection of other fishy goodies too.

Ten Twenty Four operates one of the smoothest lunchtime services in Hawke's Bay with a constantly…read morefresh take on a menu that never stands still. Kent Baddeley is one of the best chefs in the region if not New Zealand and is continually under-rated by the 'cuisine-aratti' yet Ten Twenty Four isn't designed to please food snobs - it simply delivers fine country dining at affordable prices. This is the only restaurant that I'd put up there with the premium winery restaurants in terms of consistent execution. Go once, it's great. Go every week and be immersed.

Cute spot, big menu, very accommodating for my dietary restrictions! Great spunky service and fun…read moredialogue! We did happen to order the chicken wings (they are breaded) looked delicious but we couldn't eat em... removed quickly and took em off. If I could... I would! But it was fine big portions made our belly's full and happy. Boardwalk burger, protein style, yum!! Tacos with pork were decent but the view was out of this world. Pulled pork tortilla combo was a bit strange but we will get 2 burgers next time. I recommend for a view and good food with fun service!

Such an awesome find in Napier! So much so that we ate here the two nights we had in town! The fish…read moreand chips can't be beat and neither can the prices. The chips were up there with the ones we had in Belgium! Mostly known for their fish and chips but lots of other things to choose from on the menu too. Hot dogs, burgers, chicken... All fried, so beware if you are trying to eat healthy.. this is not the place. We got two pieces of fish and two orders of fish and it was a TON of food. All for $12 Great prices and great food. Definitely a must go!

Return visit 2 weeks on…read more MONKFISH this time. Lovely and fresh. Selected 500 grams, off the ice, just over a pound in the auld money. Staff are really lovely. We got cooking method straight. Dining companion suggests: 'look em in the eye, speak clearly, and get an understanding'. She reminded me last 3x they got it wrong, and she really wanted crumbed, NOT battered this time. Okay says I, happy wife, happy life. 15 mins later, our # called, having enjoyed the salad course, a crisp cool Hawkes Bay sauvignon blanc, we open the wrapping....... YES! Succulent crunchy coated freshness deliciousness MONKFISH fillets. Half a scoop of chips. Ate the smallish bits 1st, all fine. Chips underdone slightly. Largest fish filet COLD in the middle = unacceptable. She suggests we ask to 'please fry another minute or so'. We did. No problem, but I am re rating to 3 stars. We will return. and our recommendation status is intact.

We were in town for a trade show and recommended this place by a local. It was so good we went back a second night in row. I'm not a big desert eater but my wife is. Both nights she ordered desert and I ate half of hers, not too sweet and beautifully presented.
