The Esplanade - East Tamaki New Zealand

Delicious food with fresh ingredients. An awesome local restaurant right in front of the beautiful Eastern Beach. A nice place for many locals.

We thought this place was a real gem. We hadn't been here since 2016! The menu had a lot of items and we were spoilt for choice. For a lunchtime the place became very busy. The food was really tasty and a delight. We can't wait to come again.

Beachfront was absolutely serene. Dishes were well-prepared, although they didn’t come out as appetizers and entrees as we expected. They came out all at once after a little bit of a wait, which was a shame as we were quite hungry. We also had to order our food at the bar rather than at the table which was a touch inconvenient. The ramekins topped with cheese on the “Seafood Surprise” were the best bite of the night.

Lovely restaurant! Good quality food and the staff there have amazing manners. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to couples looking for a fine place for a date night, they have a lot of wines there for you to choose. As for younger members, the chocolate milkshake is amazing! It has a good ocean view so after you eat you can take some nice photos to post on your social media. The food there is mostly suited for adults, but the beef salad, fish chips and the carbonara is a great choice for those who don’t like fancy food. Protip: Bring a camera along! You will be captured by the stunning views outside.

We had some fish and chips for lunch today It wasn't the best, we expected more for the amount we paid. A bigger battered fish would have done the job, our tummies were filled even though. It's a lovely place to have a drink and look at the view. Overall a lovely place. Just a bit overpriced.
