Located on the first floor, FISH Restaurant provides an all year round alfresco dining experience with sweeping views across Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour.

Plus, the restaurant has a new layout making the most of a sunny afternoon, with its large deck.

Executive Chef Shane Yardley, a protégé of New Zealand’s Master Chef Simon Gault for more than 16 years, has created a dynamic and mouth watering menu that takes the finest fresh fish from our shores and around the world to create dishes that will excite the palate and enthrall the eye.

FISH is a celebration of New Zealand’s finest fresh Seafood alongside the world’s most sought after seafood. The main restaurant menu in itself offers a wide range of intricate taste combinations that extend beyond fish. Combine this with the extensive tapas menu available at the sharing table and this becomes a restaurant that can literally cater to any taste and satisfy any craving.

FISH Restaurant is a unique combination of a breath taking location, Yardley’s imaginative menu, the highest quality ingredients, a relaxed atmosphere all wrapped up in Gault’s indomitable style, with a splash of social dining to boot.

Enjoyed a lovely pre-xmas diner treat here last week, the service was impeccable and could not be faulted, the bread and tomato mousse was exceptional. Our mains were very good, the steak got a glowing review very very tender and cooked to perfection. The flounder was also cooked just right, the butter sauce on top was a little salty for my taste and my prawns seemed slightly overcooked, but this did not detract from the delightful flounder. The Malibu sorbet that was part of the desert was simply devine and we could have eaten just a plate of that.

Read the reviews and thought sweet! Special anniversary dinner for us at a silver service restaurant. Our previous visits have always been top class. Last night we could not fault the food and strong compliments to the chef and team on superbly cooked and presented dishes. Unfortunately we didnt think the service matched the 5 star food. Host was very casually dressed and at first we thought he was a customer, we were shown to our table and a waitress was pointed out to us. Friendly but not attentive, plates hurriedly placed on table, dirty plates sat for ages and we were given two different menus. It just wasn’t as good as previous visits and equal to the many casual restaurants we frequent. Sort of spoilt the ‘ special’ factor of the food. Service did not reflect the quality of food or the price $300 for two ( 3 courses and a glass of wine)

OMG! Exquisite food, lovely attentive and personable service (Thanks Eddie, wonderful), and a view to die for! This must be Auckland’s best kept secret. Add to that, the amazing value-for-money lunch set menu ($31 for 2 courses), and why would you go anywhere else? Thanks Fish for an outstanding experience :)

Unfortunately didn’t hear back re booking but fronted up anyway. Met by maitre de who admitted he read the booking but didn’t reply!
On being seated in a nice position, menus given to us, my friends was marked and dirty which we felt was not good for silver service restaurant.( perhaps being picky!)
Lunch menu was excellant, food and service during our lunch was excellant, so overall a pleasant lunch.

Would recommend to friends as special place.

Fish is a wonderful restaurant with excellent service. Food really flavoursome and beautifully presented. The only gripe that I have is that my Kingcrab fishcakes were not properly drained so they were rather oily. The rest was lovely. The Fishpot was superb indeed. Will definitely go back.

We had a wonderful time at Fish last weekend. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and created a great atmosphere for us. It was a nice surprise at the end of our meal when a garnished plate with some chocolate balls arrived at our table with a Happy Anniversary message.

The food tasted great, was visually spectacular and creative. I would highly recommend Fish, especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion.

This place is fantastic!!!! Get a table outside as the view is fabulous and the gas fires are gorgeous if it gets chilly. Don’t worry as it’s all under cover. The service is fabulous and the food is just superb. Had my 50th birthday there and we were treated like royalty. Could not fault a thing!!!! Will go again for sure and although it’s expensive, they make you feel like it’s totally worth it and you forget the cost.

An awesome 5 star dining experience!..For our 5th wedding anniversary I decided to take my wife out to Fish. Saw their impressive online menu and was already sold to it. We arrived at 9pm and were kindly greeted at the door. Walked up the staircase and into the restaurant, The atmosphere and ambiance inside and around was just amazing a total WOW factor, with a mixture of contemporary lighting with a touch of blue fluorescent lighting under table in the front really got our eye. We were greeted and taken to our table facing the ocean. A friendly gentleman introduced himself and gave us a run down on the menu for the night and also suggested some of them to us. He also asked if it was any special occasion for our dining. To begin we ordered some bread for a start. My wife ordered Tempura Prawns and I ordered Snapper Soup with crab dumplings, both absolutely made to perfection, we had two waitresses bring in our order. The Snapper soup was brought in two dishes and mixed at our table by the adding the sauce to the dish, I found this very appealing as it had a class of its own. A bottle of fine white wine was a definite choice to compliment our meal. Table was cleared and cleaned once we finished our entree’s. All new cutlery arrived for our main meal in a very timely manner. For our mains I ordered the Pan roasted hapuka with capers / parsley / potatoes / vermouth and my wife ordered Red king crab with linguine / chilli / parsley. The favours were absolutely mouth watering, The Hapuka was beautifully garnished …a definite must try menu. Our serving waiter was very attentive and made us as comfortable as possible. All the staff were very friendly as well, always smiled whenever they went past. There was also a small Indian wedding reception happening on the far end of the restaurant. There was soft Indian classical music being played from time to time. I managed to pickup a few lines for my wife to it make it special for her lol. For our dessert we had Hot chocolate fondant with aged rum and raisin ice-cream. This also was truly delicious all over and had a mixture of both hot and cold on one plate. We finished our dessert, ordered the bill and were just about to leave the table when the chef gave us a little surprise for our Wedding anniversary. He brought was a nice rectangular White plate and Happy Wedding Anniversary written with chocolate all over, a candle in the middle and on the side had two little round pieces of chocolate balls mixed with wafer and apricot, garnished with coconut……this made us feel soooo special. Overall does come with a price tag. Bill came to $174.00, but worth every bit of it. We left the restaurant with some great memories and hope to return back for another great experience very soon.

“FISH” is the new “White”, having enjoyed a perfectly cooked lunch this week its so much much more than a name change. The upgrade comes courtesy of the team behind Euro, Shed 5 and JSH…. so with this knowledge our expectations were piqued with anticipation. To begin we were seated in the outside dining balcony with the most perfect harbour view. Sun shining almost as much as the smile and helpful professionalism of the young lady looking after us, service was much better than good, timing, helpfulness, anticipating our needs were all spot on. The menu is very much in the smart dining category with a thoughtful menu displaying no shortage of dish variation or kitchen skill. There is creativity and passion at work here,in both food and service. With food in mind the real test was if it tasted as good as it read or if there were one or two culinary tricks too many? Dining with two friends we enjoyed different dishes which did provide us with much enjoyment as well as small tastings from each others plates. Inevitably with any menu there are dishes a person likes and enjoys more than another – that’s personal taste. What I can say is the taste and quality of the cooking is at a very high level, hugely enjoyable and with more than a little theatre thrown in – There is a chocolate dessert which you simply have to order, its prepared at your table and your in for a hugely enjoyable surprise!
