One of Molten Restaurant's Favourite Reviews What's This?

My absolute first choice when taking friends of all ages or business associates out to dinner. Fantastic food, totally reliable, always beautifully cooked and presented. I’ve never been disappointed and our guests have always raved over their meals. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed so that you can sit back and just enjoy the company and great food. A little pricey, but as I’ve never had any “duds” I believe it’s well worth it. They also have a small private dining room upstairs which they let us use when we wanted a quieter area for a our party of six.

First time I have eaten at Molten last night and went due to the excellent reviews it was receiving.
The entrees are over priced ($25 for 1 buffalo mozzarella ball and a few bits of rocket, pretty bland) but the mains (I had the Broadbill, delicious) was well priced. Desserts (our table had a several from the menu) were well executed.
The only big let down of the evening was poor service. Slow with taking food orders and even slower to take our drinks order.
Great food but the evening slightly let down by inattentive service.

Went for a work lunch late last week. Absolutely blown away by the service – our waitress was quick, polite and attentive.
The beers were fantastic – I ordered the (read: three) Hawkes Bay Pilsner which went down a treat. Had the special for the day which was kingfish on a risotto – cooked to perfection. Beautiful and moist, a great meal. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food! great service in a relaxed, non-pretentious environment. Recommend the pork hock pie starter! I could taste it before it hit my tongue, it was so fragrant and the pastry was perfect. Not cheap but worth it.

Went to Molten for a weekend lunch. Very excited to see not one, but two vegetarian options which did not involve pumpkin, or spinach and feta, or mushroom risotto, which seem to be standard for many restaurants. Bypassed the artichocke gnocchi with stuffed courgette flower to order the mushroom and truffle pappadelle with cavalo nero, which tasted fantastic and gave us an opportunity to try a new vegetable. For a non-vegetarian dish we ordered the kingfish special, which sat on a bed of risotto with strands of meat stirred into it. Great flavours made us decide to try dessert, even though we were no longer hungry. Impressed again, not just by the taste, but by the presentation of the dish. Service was also attentive and friendly. Very enjoyable meal in a beautiful restaurant. Will definitely be back again!

What was good…the service! In fact the service was exceptional. We had an amazing waitress, Kylie. She was attentive and very professional! The food was a let down to be honest. I have eaten there twice before and remember my meals as being outstanding. Both mains were overcooked but in saying that the manager agreed and did not charge us for one main that was only half eaten. Our starters were ok but I would not say outstanding. I know that Molten is a favourite however maybe our visit which was over a public holiday meant they were having an off day?

We took another couple along for a business dinner. As we had been there before and was impressed with the food and service. Again we were not disappointed, we started next door with wine before moving through to our table. The service was excellent, non-intrusive and there is an extensive wine list.
The food is fantastic and serviced in a semi-formal atmosphere.

This was our second visit, first time was with friends. Well informed staff, answered every question without drama, only needed to go to the kitchen once to confirm. Meal was spot on and could not fault it. Will be back again come summer for the new menu.

I went here for a lunch meeting and was extremely impressed. The food was excellent, the waitress (Sonia) was on the ball and attended all of our needs, and the overall experience was just first rate.
I totally recommend this venue. I have gone back since and was not disappointed. Neither will you be.
