Having just arrived home from dinner at kermadec I couldn’t wait to post my review.
To begin the service was fantastic,the food was spectacular and the portion sizes very generous. The environment and overall atmosphere was great.
The only one recommendation I would make is a remodel of the bathrooms which had a broken door on one of the stalls in the ladies. But please don’t let that prevent you from making a dinner booking now! It was amazing!

Have eaten here a lot over past 10 years but not recently. Went back with work colleagues to celebrate Christmas end and had a rather disappointing meal. It began well with salt and pepper squid and olives as a starter. Sashimi a bit mean and my snapper was very average & half way through I found what looked like a hair which put us all off, yes should have said something but what would they do – get me another when I was put off food! No question when plates were cleared and I didn’t want to fuss.
Overall 7 of us felt we had eaten better. Sorry Kermadec, wasn’t a busy night and we did wonder if Brasserie was a little off cf the restaurant next door? Decor is a bit dated now. Maybe time for a makeover?

Lovely seafood restaurant right on the viaduct, very classy, great service. You can come here just for a drink and nibble (I haven’t been to dinner here yet, but would love to one day)and sit outside on the deck admiring the superyachts. Their bread and dips and salt and pepper squid are perfect.

I just wanted to say thank you for a lovely meal yesterday. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves. The squid was exceptional and we both thought the whole experience was terrific. (even the online booking was neat and convenient)
Compliments to the entire team.

Amazing food and ambiance. We had dinner there on a Friday night. The waiter went above and beyond to make our dinner memorable. I ordered the salmon, It was perfect. Overall its the best dinner I’ve eaten in a restaurant this year. Thank you Kermadec!

This was the third time i have been and each time i go i would describe the food as ‘mouth orgasms’. Everything tastes divine and they have a fabulous wine list. It was a very intimate dining experience with very attentive staff. we had the platter, fresh delicious food with amazing sauces, my favourite was the rocket and parmesan salad. Definitely recommend, it would make a very impressive date location!

I recently dined for lunch at Kermdaec with my grandparents as they are not from Auckland and wanted to show them the great view Kermadec (Auckland Viaduct) has to offer, not only was the service exceptional but we ended up getting an entrée each as well as sharing the seafood platter which was generously served.
Was a great meal to share and was very pleased with the overall experience.

Points for the management.
1. Its cold in the winter time, glass does not trap heat, and a heater designed for a modest sized living room will not heat a restaurant.
2. You are a seafood restaurant. You have a brilliant location in one of the best harbour cities in the world. You need to improve your menu, it’s not very good. In fact it’s disappointingly bad. Please get on a plane visit Italy, Spain & Greece and learn how it is done.
3. $120 for fish & chips and 3 glasses of wine is a piss take. Thank God I will not be able to get table there during the World Cup.

First time at Kermadec, went with a Grab one coupon for their Sea Food Platter for two.
Very dissappointed. The oysters were second rate, the Crayfish, prawns and Scampi over cooked and tasteless.Pipi’s old and rubbery. Mussells were good, bread great. Service excellent. I think Kermadec lost the plot by serving food which did not impress. As a first time guest I will probably not go back. Kermadec lost a great opportunity to gain a new customer.

In a word, yuk! We had paid for a grab-one deal for a seafood platter and two glasses of wine, but were prepared to spend our own money for entrees and dessert. However, when the seafood platter came, it was awful! This is a $150/160 dish. No effort on presentation (just served on a two level dish on ice with lemon slices – crayfish in a bare metal top platter). No seasoning. No sauces. All cold. All steamed. Worse, some of the clams had sand in them, and the langoustines and prawns had not had their entrails removed and still had the line of poo running down the middle of their tails!! EEEEW! Also, the shells weren’t pared to allow for the easy removal of the meat (it was literally untouched and uncleaned). In all the two-bit, mama-papa type restaurants that I have been to in the past, cleaning and preparation of shellfish was a no-brainer and basic practice. Surely there must be a budget for a shellfish cleaner in a $160 dish! The manager, when confronted, was infuriatingly dismissive: “Was there a lot of sand in the clams, or just a little bit?” As if a little bit was acceptable? Apparently according to the manager, leaving entrails in the shellfish “is how they have always done it for three years”. There you have it folks. If you like shellfish poo, go to Kermadec.

Kermadec prides itself on delivering great seafood and attentive service. Our Seafood Platter is a taste of some of the wonders of the sea. It is a traditional Plateau de Fruits de Mer, served in the classic French style. The platter itself comprises of prawns,…

Very good quality seafood, love my seafood and would say that this is the best of the best. If Auckland had a seafood restaurant this would be it. Only lost one star from me due to the expense but it is the waterfront/viaduct so you do have to expect there is going to be higher.

We had almost forgotten Kermadec as had gone down hill but last year saw interesting changes. This year they seemed to have gone up to the best in Auckland
We had their tasting menu and it was World class. The service was excellent and the attention was obvious as the friendly young lady in charge was watching everything.
We are looking forward to taking friends to our 2010 leader and yes we have been to at least 8 of Auckland’s finest so far

I took my parents to ‘Kermadec’ for a very special evening to celebrate an event.
It was recommended by a friend as one of the best places to have seafood in Auckland.
The service was cold and offhand, bordering on snobbish.
My Mother and I selected the crayfish which we were told by the incredibly rude and indifferent waiter would be $100 each. (They were barely legal size)
The other two members of the party ordered fish and thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Declaring they were delicious.
Desserts were very good and structured interestingly but the appalling attitude of the waiter really did affect our evening.
We entered the restaurant on a high and left feeling as though we should have gone elsewhere.
Incredible how one person’s poor service and stroppy mood can ruin an evening.

The closest thing to a great fish restaurant that you’re going to find in Auckland. Fresh, fresh, fresh. Good service. Great outlook. While their menu is varied, we usually have the seafood platter with crayfish and a bottle of wine
then go home and make love.
