Agenda is apparently a nightclub and a restaurant. I guess the nightclubbing occurs later in the night. We got there for dinner only at 7 pm, and only diners present.

Atmosphere in restaurants is important, and I’m afraid that Agendas nightclub half makes it lack in this department. A bit sparse and I could smell the cleaning agents!

Service was very good. Food also was good. My steak was basic in its presentation, but for one or two chewy bits that ended up on the plate, was welll cooked and presented. The wife’s pork belly was really just pork, but she rated it highly. Overall the meals were OK, probably scoring around 8/10 (average of the two).

OMG was what i was saying during and after eating at the Agenda!
My partner and myself when there unplanned for pre new years dinner. thanks that the place we were ment to go was fully booked up.
i had the special of steak on a bed of kumara mash and beans all cooked to perfection! my partner had the salmon which was perfect after we seasoned it.
but the desert i had was to die for totally orgasmic omg, my partner was laughing at me because of the facial expressions i was making while eating this desert. i highly recommend the Bailey Brulee it is delicious!!!! you wont be disappointed.
We will be back with friends.

A friend (who was over from Oz) and I dined at Agenda on Thursday 29 December – early part of the evening. Wow all I can say is we both had the most delicious meals we have had for ages. Absolute compliments to the chef – she had the spicy lamb and I had the special of filet mignon. She absolutely raved about the flavour and the way it was cooked (she had asked for the lamb to be cooked more to well done which they did to perfection) and she said the meal was much better than anything she had had in restaurants in Sydney. My steak was medium rare as ordered and melted in my mouth – perfect. The waiting staff were also extremely helpful and friendly. Excellent evening. Many thanks – I’ll be back and so will friends and family I have told. Christine

Service – depends on who you get, our food staff were great and very very helpful, the drink staff.. Boy do they need some training and the main reason for only three stars.
Food – Had the pasta and it was very bland but when this was raised with the staff it was reified quickly and to our satisfaction
Restaurant – Early in the evening is is quite nice but as it get later they are trying to get you out the door so they can make this a nightclub so would suggest a early dinner here..

We came here about 10 months ago and found that it was very poor. We decided to give it another go though tonight. Again was really bad. I ordered baked salmon – has anyone ever seen this served inside tin-foil and wrapped in baking paper??? – the whole thing was bad. Served with risotto – again bad – topped with salsa whose flavour focussed on tomato paste. My partner ordered steak – ordinary with dried up roast potato things. Service was fine. The place was virtually empty – not surprising – am just amazed that it is still around.

Went to Agenda recently on a voucher deal. I was not all that happy to be told when we paid for our meals that a salad was counted as a main and the cheapest meals would be accounted for as being already paid. This isn’t written anywhere on the voucher, so was not happy that they make up their own ‘rules’, as mains and salads have separate sections on the Menu. Their staff were nice and friendly though, which made up for it.

Took Brisbane family to the restaurant after the Sunday World Cup game. The restaurant was busy and pleased we booked.

I have been to the restaurant a few times as well as others in town for lunches but not dinners as we are from a distance from Hamilton.

A nice environment, good food and back ground music, what more can you ask for?

Agenda always has friendly service and most important, great fresh tasty meals and a good variety of choices. This night some of us had 3 courses as the deserts sounded too nice to not have. We were not disappointed.

Even with being a busy night (and staff would have had an extremely busy weekend!) the service was good and even better the food was wonderful. Our Brisbane family commented on how much they enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Two of us went to this restaurant last week. Have never been there before. The surroundings are pleasant and modern. We were warmly welcomed and seated promptly. It was a Wednesday night but there was a reasonable number of people there – almost full so might pay to book.

We read through the menu and were impressed with what we saw. We ordered the Antipasto Platter to share as an entree and our mains were the baked salmon and the scallops.

The platter was a great starter for the two of us. A generous portion. My companion only wanted water which was promptly supplied as was my generous (530 ml) beer.

The mains arrived without delay. They were fantastic. The salmon was beautifully moist with wonderful flavour and it was a good sized portion – I got to finish the bit that my companion could not manage.

As for my scallops, six extremely large scallops came perched on top of six juicy pieces of pork belly. A great combination, especially with the vegetable julienne salad with vinaigrette dressing.

By the time we had finished, we decided to skip dessert. We did see a couple nearby demolishing theirs and they looked great as well (the desserts I am referring to).

Extremely good value for money. Especially between 5-7pm when you can get a 530 ml glass of beer for $5.

All the staff were very pleasant and great at their jobs.

I have given it 4 stars – only because one likes to reserve 5 stars for something that one will probably never encounter.

Agenda – you have two fans and we will be back for sure. I can recommend this establishment with complete confidence.

Si.

Went recently for Sunday brunch ….food and service were top notch. And the coffees were complimentary! Would definitely visit again

Recently went to Agenda the night of the rugby 7′s. Excellent staff here. Friendly welcoming and prompt.

We ordered the scollops and very really dissapointed. They were dry and a little tasteless. We also got the seafood kebab’s, and once again dissapointed. They came out cold. Took a bite into the scollop and it was dry! Asked for it to be replaced, only to find 2 Kebabs come back, and just re-heated. By this stage there was no point in asking again.

The fish and chip basket was so cute! It actally came in a Vat basket! Fish was delicious.

Garlic Ciabatta was delicious! Nice and hot, just the right amount of butter and garlic.

Overall , it was good. But really dissapointed in the scollops :( and i Love scollops, well any sea food really! ( as you can tell from what we ordered!)

Chose this restaurant last week for a meal out purely because it was one of the few we hadn’t tried in Hamilton. Food was very tasty and the children enjoyed their meals. Service was very prompt and cheerful.

Recently had dinner on a Saturday evening. My husband had a delicious lamb shank that was melt in the mouth tender and I enjoyed a wonderful pork sirloin with the most divine crackling. Service was great and just the right amount on the plate to finish but not left feeling hungry. In fact we liked it so much we were back the next day with other family for a great brunch.

It was really hard to choose from the brunch menu; so many things sounded delicious, but I had the French toast with bacon, banana and maple syrup. It was really good. I was with a large-ish group and everyone was very happy with their meals. Reasonable price and service was excellent without being at all obtrusive. Coffee was great too. I’ll certainly go again.

Recently my girl friend and I had dinner at Agenda and had a great night. We ordered the chicken and lamb mains and these were both delicious. We also ordered desert and were not disappointed. This place also has macs great white on tap which is one of my favs. Great service relaxed atmosphere and amazing food. Try this place for sure.

I recently dined at Agenda and happily report a really lovely night out.

I selected the vegetarian lasagne which was accompanied by grilled garlic bread and dukka with olive oil & balsamic (fantastic!). The lasagne was very delicious. Light and fresh pasta sheets,layered between capsicums and eggplant. The napolenti sauce, likewise, was very tasty. The twist was feta cheese – not a hint of the usual gluppy cheese sauce (yah!). It was real fusion of flavours that really worked well!

The staff were nicely attentive but certainly not overbearing. A good selection of wine, beer and spirits were available.

The decor was simple and pleasant. This is a venue I will return to, and bring my family along as the menu caters well for younger diners too.

After enjoying brunch at Agenda on a number of occasions, I recently had dinner there and found it a pleasurable experience. The staff are friendly and easy going, and make you feel well looked after. They took our orders promptly, and cleared our plates quickly after we had finished eating.

The meal I had was presented on plate on a level comparable to far more upmarket and expensive Hamilton eateries, such as Palate. However, the portions at Agenda were far more generous than what I have come to expect from restaurants in Hamilton, and the meal I had was excellent value for money at $25 for a deliciously seasoned steak, vegetables and potatoes. I have been to other local restaurants which have disappointingly charged almost twice as much for similar quality steak by itself (sides must also be ordered at such places). There was plenty of variety on the menu, and I look forward to going back and trying other dishes.

The restaurant is set in tones of black and grey with red highlights, a slick modern look that is nicely complemented with cushy seats and a warm fireplace. Although the restaurant appears quite dark from the outside, it is surprisingly bright inside and the lighting has a somewhat romantic feel to it. I have found the noise levels at busy restaurants often makes it difficult to have a conversation because you end up almost shouting across the table, however, this was not a problem at Agenda. Despite the restaurant being full and music playing in the background, I did not have to raise my voice at all.

I had fantastic experience, and would thoroughly recommend Agenda to others.

Recently had a meal at agenda, and after fantastic service, a great atmosphere and equally great meal i was compelled to write a review.

I rearly have a salad when eating out however had the lamb salad at agenda and it was great. consisting of marinated lamb spinach & my person frave dried tomato & olive it was the best salad dish ive had all year. Agenda’s staff were friendly and prompt and the meal was ready in good time. Considering how busy they were at the time (almost full) i was stoked. Well done Agenda team look forward to the next meal.

I have been waiting to find a great lamb meal in Hamilton and I found it at Agenda. The lamb was succulent, boneless (!), well flavoured and cooked perfectly. I was surprised by the presentation; crispy rocket and baby carrots but they were very flavourful.
My husband had the tenderised sirloin and he enjoyed it.

Entree’s were ok, dessert was fine, friendly service. Pricing was in line with other restaurants in the CBD.
There was a live musician playing – must have been a Pearl Jam fan – but it was good background.

The only thing that let them down was the tables and seating; it looked temporary (I think they move it to make way for the dancefloor) and seemed cheap.

But otherwise great. Would definitely visit again.
