Went to lunch on a Sunday with a group of approx 14. Not impressed with service. We had four 4 hungry children, it took over an hour long wait despite asking for the kids meals to come out first. The waitress did not inform us about the length of wait or ask whether we would like anything else while we are waiting. It took another 20 minutes for the rest of the meals to come out. On the positive, the platters were good although mussels were a little overcooked. Would not return in a hurry.

Have eaten here for the last time.
Food is pretty average, no value for money.

Seeing staff drunk, presumably on the off their days, along side the patrons not a good look.

We used to rave over the food at Swashbucklers and were taken there for our anniversary, much to our disappointment the chefs do not know what seasoning is. Food was so tasteless even with large amounts of salt and pepper, the fishermans basket was covered in a coconut flavour sauce – which is not stated on the menu.The scallop mornay was little balls of tasteless meat and at $31 you would expect better.We also emailed the manager to voice our opinion and received no reply whatsoever.I think most of the patrons are so drunk they don’t realise what horrible food they are eating

If you like scollops that are little balls of leather and scotch fillet sold as fillet steak then this is the place for you!So disappointing…..we won’t be back.

good food, good price, good times!
the restaurant is cool – nice theme, good value! rather go to this place than hammerheads!

all 6 of us agreed that the meals were very good and the size of the meals were awesome,service great and the atmosphere itself was fantastic,will be going there again.

Very good service and food.
Excellent selection and very fresh seafood.
We always go to Swashbucklers when in Auckland except for the one time we made a stupid mistake and went to sails

Awesome, huge meals.
Tip is to get the kiddies meal size of fish & chips, if you’re not a big eater!

It’s quite cool being able to smell the salt in the air & hear the creak of ropes against the wharf while you’re dining out on fish.
