Hello Beasty

One of, if not the best meal I have ever had. We came here twice over the course of two weeks as the food was so good. First time we did the tasting menu and it was spectacular. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Service was excellent too. 2nd visit we ordered items that were not on the tasting menu and the food was as good as the first time.

The food is to die for. The lamb shoulder (melt in your mouth and the sauce… every drop, yum), tasty flatbread to soak up all that yummy sauce, and the potstickers all fantastic. The oysters are fresh and delicious ! You will definitely want to be repeat customers. And the people who work there are just so kind, professional and accommodating, Special shout out to Grace. You are the bomb lady!

This place is modern, vibrant and fun. The food is delicious and varied. Our waitress was so happy and like a ninja, only there when you needed her. We sat at the bar and watched the chiefs prepare the food. It was fun, and it really helped us decide what to order. It can be a little hot and noisy, but that didn't detract from our experience. I just mention it if you are hard of hearing you might find this a little loud.

Went here on a whim without a reservation for dinner at 5pm. Luckily we got a table and had the best dinner during our three weeks travel all over New Zealand. The lamb shoulder is hands down THE dish to get. Skyrocketed straight into the top 5 dishes I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Meat was so tender no knife was needed. And the sauce it comes in is just heavenly. We ended up reordering bread to scoop up all the sauce. All dishes here were excellent including the tiger prawns, oysters, pot stickers. Service was great too. Very attentive and quick when ordering drinks or more small plates. If you only have time for one meal in Auckland come here. You won’t be disappointed. 5 Stars.

Had a great dining experience here. Our waitress was very polite and efficient. Made sure all our needs were met. We tried 7 dishes. All were really tasty, but the lamb shoulder was by far the absolute best of the night. The place was packed to the rafters, making it noisy, but it was great to see the locals out and about.
