My partner and I recently ordered the shrimp platter for 2… my gosh it was a feast!
It included: a garlic bread each, salad each, fries and over a kilo of shrimp (lemon slices and chilli dipping sauce on the side). We were both incredibly full after this meal. The shrimp was cooked well and the sauce was tasty. Efficient service, meal arrived quickly and interior was quirky and fitted the under the sea theme. Great place to come for a fun relaxed low key meal with family or friends.
The only down side was I ate so much shrimp I was put off for eating it for a while

Eating here was recommended on our recent tour of the South Island – what a gastronomic delight – from the garlic roll, through to the blue cod & bluff oysters, not to be disappointed by the pound cake/marscapone dessert!!!
Service was friendly and efficient as well. Thanks guys!! Wish you were in Auckland!!!!!!

We went to The Reef for the first time last week and it was fabulous. The service was spot on and the food was cooked beautifully.
We had the Blue Cod and the Salmon which were both delicious and the Mussels as our entree were the best I’ve had. You can order the mussels as a main but the entree was over a dozen mussels so the main must be huge!!

We were 4 on a driving holiday from Australia. The location is very convenient. The food, generous and the service friedly. I left my scarf on the back of my chair and on request they mailed it back to me in Sydney proptly.
Thank you

8/10 for decor.

We were recommended this restaurant by another chief as having the best seafood ever. Paid $85-00 for Seafood Basket for two served on bed of rice. Metal tray served on meant food went cold and fatty quickly. Squid rings were like rubber bands and left feeling very hungry. Not big meal. Mainly squid rings and rice. Very dissapointed.

Truly one of the best restaurants in New Zealand, the

complete dining experience, service was impeccable,

asked to have the entree’s and the mains bought at

the same time, and it was! and cooked to perfection,

i had a mixture of their finest fish dish’s and

meats, a wonderful treat for the taste buds. I have

eaten throughout New Zealand and Australian

Restaurants and if you really do want to experience

the flavour of New Zealand seafood then i fully

recommend eating at the Reef. 2 thumbs up.. !!

Been here a few times for lunch, they have a nice $10 lunch menu. Food is always really nice and the theme is suited well to the restaurant!

When we first entered The Reef we noticed the beautiful ambience the place had. The decorations were well suited to the seafood theme and I got a ‘under the sea’ kind of vibe. The staff were very helpul and prompt and left me feeling well served. The food was delicious! Different flavours complimented each other very well and my salmon fillet was a delight to eat. My date happened to get the tiger prawns which proved to be quite an entertaining site. I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone in the future.

Was recommended to us from a friend. Thought good nice fresh seafood. Ordered the mussels & then the Tuna. Expensive compared to Nth Island pricing. Tuna was over cooked & I’d say had been frozen. Not impressed. Staff were nice & friendly.

Very, very nice food. The blue cod is a must as is the salmon steak. Very friendly staff and always willing to assist. I left a big tip which would mean I was either drunk or well impressed. Safe to say that it was the latter! Go have a visit.
