My partner and I decided to splurge and go somewhere nice for tea.

My mum said these guys were good so we decided to give them a go.

Waste of money..

My partner had Whole Baby Snapper that had way too much salt, it was inediable.

I had the Linguini al Mariscos, it was boring and tasteless.

Ended up going home and cooking my partner a second dinner.

Will not be going back EVER.

The first time I entered Tasca Olive garden I was sold. What an amazing oasis to have in the centre of a city.

So, I went with a group of friends to Tasca to celebrate my birthday. I had booked the table in the deck area in the Olive grove, just in case of rain. It was a perfect evening with great staff (nothing was a problem for them) and food. They even had mosquito repellent on hand for the likes of me who attract mozzies at 100m!

I have been back since for a glass of wine on a sunny evening with a friend, what bliss

I highly recommend Tasca Dominion Rd

I used a Daily-do voucher to visit Tasca for the first time – I shall certainly go back, even without a voucher! The café is small inside, but there is a large garden at the back. The evening showers didn’t affect us (our table was in the covered “lean-to”) or those under the large umbrellas, but one group had to move from under their tree to a table under an umbrella.
We had some tapas as starters, the Dips Duo (tzatziki and hummus with hot Turkish bread) and Pan con Tomate (Spanish grilled tomato bread) were particularly good.
Three of us had a selection of tapas for mains – Panfried Chorizo Sausage (with garlic fried bread and mushrooms), Dolma (bell pepper stuffed with rice, onion, herbs, currants & pinenuts, with tzatziki), Calamares (pan fried with sea salt and parsley, with aioli and lemon) and Chilli Prawns were all very good. The other 3 had individual dishes – the Greek meat balls (on sautéed Mediterranean vegetables, with a crushed tomato &
oregano sauce and a dollop of Greek yoghurt) were very good and the Spatchcock Chicken Algarve (with sautéed potatoes and fresh tomato and black olive salad) was excellent.
Coffee, and tea (a good selection of both and also hot chocolate) were accompanied with some desserts – the affogato (ice cream drowned with espresso coffee & liqueur (several choices)) was excellent and the churros (spanish donuts with hot melted chocolate sauce) would have done for 2 if 1 of us hadn’t been greedy! The double chocolate brownie cake was very good and individual Turkish delight were a nice touch for 2 of us who were already full!
The (Spanish and American) waitresses were efficient and pleasant.
The total bill was $260 for the 6 of us, including 2 beers but no wine – we brought our own ($5 corkage).
Overall, a very pleasant experience. (No, I’m not related to the owners or staff!)

Went here for a Valentine’s day dinner. We have been to Tasca before both in the City and Newmarket and as we had left it late to make a booking we were stuck with this one on Dominion Road. This night was a disaster! We were seated and then not approached ONCE for ten full minutes despite our obvious attempts to get attention. No water was served.

When I politely complained to the waitress about the wait I was given a bunch of excuses and then IDed for my order of sangria. The food was brought out less than 5 minutes later (presumably to make up for ignoring us) My partner’s meal was wonderful but mine was severely overcooked. The mussels were CRUNCHY and hard. The seafood was inedible. I did not complain because management had already made it clear that customer service was not their priority (both owners ignored us many times despite repeated attempts to gain eye contact). I will certainly not return to this restaurant. What a joke.

We dined here last weekend and enjoyed a fabulous time. The ambience, friendliness of all the staff and food were all superb. We both ordered the shoulder of lamb and it was out of this world! Just try it! I thought the tapas we had to kick off were well priced, we had three. It was full inside and there was about half a dozen tables occupied in the very pretty rear courtyard as well so clearly the locals appreciate Tasca as the gem that it is! We’ll return for sure.

This review hits Rock bottom. The worst possible dining experience ever for a romantic evening. We highly recommend that nobody visits this restaurant. Tasca recently advertised a value voucher on a daily deal site. We were entertained that Tasca were promoting a great authentic Spanish experience, value for money and hopefully many a return and regular eatery.

We began by ordering a glass of wine. The waitress brought our beverages however 10 minutes later the manager decides to approach and ID my partner solely and as she did not bring her handbag, the restaurant revokes her glass of wine. The manager argued with us and did not apologize. She disrespected my partner and myself who we are a middle aged professional couple. Other customers sat and watched in embarrassment as the manager was left without any excuses and without apology. Fair enough the manager did their duty to ID customers, but this really went too far for a small restaurant with few customers at the time. There was no drive to a humble hospitable approach and a ethical practice to enlighten first time guests to a hopeful return. We left without having our meals served. We recommend no body to visit Tasca Mount Eden

Amazing food, a great selection of Tapas to offer, Lovely musician in the corner on sat nights playing some Acoustic Jazz, got 4 tapas between the two of us and a bottle of red. The night went down superbly

Tapas dishes very overpriced. The chicken and smoked bacon coquettes were processed and made day prior and very dry and lacking any flavour. The squid was ok but at $15 as a tapas dish was average. the bread was the best thing. Not BYO so for 2 x tapas dishes bread and two glasses of wine and $62 later I went home and had something to eat. Lower your prices and put in more tables.

A superb experience- food, service, ambience; none could be faulted. And it is nice to find somewhere that serves plenty of wines by the glass, and distinctly on the generous side. Excellent value for money, we’ll be back and bringing a few friends.

Been here twice and both times enjoyed outstanding service and food. Looking forward to visit number three.

What a fabulous setting out the back at night. The tapas are sensational and the service you cannot fault. Worth a visit
