Whilst visiting Tutukaka just after New Year we decided to eat here.
Not great food. My husband had the chowder which is something that he likes to try all over the place. This one was very unusual. It tasted like condensed mushroom soup with prawns in.
I ordered chilli beans and ended up with bolognese (with salsa and a half kilo of sour cream – honestly, no-one needs that much sour cream!)
Once I pointed out that I had the wrong food they did remove it from the bill (I had eaten some of it as there was no check back and I was hungry!)

I looked at the evening menu and after the food I’d had at lunch time didn’t contemplate paying the evening prices for food that I assumed would be of the same standard.

Shame really as the staff were really quite nice!

Enjoyed our lunch choices here on our recent trip to Northland. Seafood chowder was tasty(almost as good as my chef husbands), Others really enjoyed their meals. Service and situation was excellent. Will return next visit!

Always great food and great service, when it’s on – it’s exceptional. Kid friendly too, we take our kids (2yrs and 5yrs) and the staff are always accommodating.

Can be a little cold in winter if you’re rocking up first thing in the morning looking for breakfast (given the outdoor/indoor flow of the place). As long as you don’t arrive in a T-Shirt you’ll be fine

Great place to dine/enjoy a cold drink over the summer.
Wonderful ambiance and decor.
Have found the staff pleasant and efficient on the many occasions we have been here.

We went here for a meal at Easter. Felt very happy with it so went again a couple of days later. We have been going here for about 10 years. The food has varied over the years – but over Easter, it was good and the staff helpful and friendly.

We went there for a special anniversary on the 3rd March very average food the kumara and cream cheese fritters cold and tough. Wine prices over the top for N.Z.Sauces on the chicken very bland. Had a nice young waitress who gave good service.
