I heard lot about Aubergine and i went with my colleagues for business party. We liked the ambiance, food and staff is so friendly. Recommend every one to please visit it ones.

We headed a long for a quick business lunch during the week. The service was quick and they have an extensive $30 lunch menu. Both the pasta dishes hit the mark for us. It seems to be a place popular with groups as there were a number there on the Thursday we went.

Four of us ate with a great value coupon (3 course meal for $35) and thought the food was very good. My husband and I had the duck which was delicious. Great service too.Will definitely go back.

The food is good though slightly pricey. Desserts are lovely but at around $10 each, they should be.

If I remember correctly, you have to order your veg and/or salad sep. to the main course – so find that a little annoying to have to pay in addition to the ‘main’ price.

Always good service though and you don’t have to wait long to be served. Always a busy place especially at weekends.

Amazing! Four of us went out for dinner and each of us ordered something different and absolutely loved our meals.

Usually not a fish fan, I ordered their snapper, which was unbelievable. Everything was so flavoursome and delicious.

The desserts were good too.

A little stingy with their glasses of wine though – wish it was BYO.

I regularly eat at Aubergine in Takapuna and find it a good place to eat.
I particularly enjoy the Chicken Filo and the Chicken salad is also worth a mention.
I have always found the service to be friendly and at times when I have asked for a quick meal before a show at the Bruce Mason center or wherever, it has always arrived quickly with no loss of food quality.
The menu selection of European and Mediterranean dishes seems to be pretty good, and my guests and I have always found something we like.

Overall a good quality restaurant in a convenient location and providing good service and tasty quality food.

Six of us dined, entrees all served at the same time, hot n good. Mains were well presented, tasty. Duck very good, a signature dish. Would recommend

EXPENSIVE
a kinda place you sit and be seen in takapuna, not something i care about.
if youd o, then you can go here.

the food is really not that special, plain, boring and very bland.
i ordered the chefs specialty which tasted like an experimental dish.

deserts are ok, but also expensive.

would not go to eat there again, maybe jsut for desert

Food was ok, food a bit overcooked though. Service was appalling, waited for 20 mins+ for Dessert Menu – got sick of waiting so left

I have often enjoyed meals here. They do an amazing steak and tastey veges and deserts! A+++ would trade again.

Four of us over 50 year olds called into Aubergine after the All Black-England rugby Test match.
It was 9-30 at night but that was no problem for them, and there were still a few people in the restaurant.We didnt have to wait long to be served but by time our meal was put in front of us it was lukewarm.Two of us had eye fillet steak and the other two had lamb shanks.These had dollops of mashed potato which was tasteless and a bit lumpy and surrounded by a gravy which we all agreed must have come out of a packet.We debated for a fair while during the meal if the mashed potato was out of a packet also and decided it must have been.We were reassured when we were paying for the meal that it was real potato and that they served similar up each night.The thing was the meal was cold and very very average in taste and I could have done better myself even though I am only an average cook.When I go out for a meal I expect to get something better than I(part time cook when Im forced to husband)could have done.When two of us went to pay for the meal and the question was asked whether we enjoyed it we both said no we hadnt.They agreed to knock off the coffees we had which was good but would have rather had a good dining experience.
