Had lunch here today. I eat here every year when I’m in Napier. Every year I’m remembered. Not just remembered as a face but remembered with all the details. It makes me feel special. The meal was excellent but then it always is so I’d expect nothing less. I eat at The Mission and Pacifica – two superb restaurants but you know what? On balance I’d rather eat here at Three Doors up.

Great service, delicious food, very tolerant of kids, food all local and fresh and beautifully cooked and presented. Highly recommended, would definitely go again! By far the best food, service and atmosphere experienced anywhere I’ve been in Hawkes Bay/Taupo area!

Our evening here could not be faulted. Superb food and service. Our table of six well travelled foodies ordered from the menu and the night’s specials. From the coconut tempura prawns to the steak, market fish, and affogato everything was beautifully cooked and presented. A hidden gem that the locals obviously enjoy as the place was packed. The only downside that it was a little loud.

Three doors up is awesome!
Lovely meal, lovely wine, lovely service.
Will definatly be back!

This restaurant has it all: excellent food, service and ambience at a reasonable price. Each dish has exquisite and interesting flavours (e.g. pea puree complemented by cajan infusion and balsamic creme with delicately cooked scallops – clean and subtle). Deserts have real chocolate! The wine selection is both interesting and excellent. Service is unsurpassed in HB. One of the few restaurants I consider worthy of repeat visits.

a good find! Fantastic food and wine list with friendly service. To the extent that I have now become a regular; recommending 3DD to friends and family. Have also recently selected 3DD as a venue for a business function; a well run establishment.

Recommend the rissotto.

The maitre d was very rude. Turns out she was the owner so not much point complaining to her.

When we entered the restaurant, she took menus off our table for another table and half an hour later still had not replaced them. Things deteriorated from there. She was just plain rude and I will not be returning.
The waitress was nice, as was my meal but I will not be lining this lady’s pockets.

Went as a group of 18 … excellent food and service with a comprehensive wine list. The ordering was faultless, timely delivery and perfect presentation … this place was very busy but the team at Three Doors Up treated everyone to a relaxed and friendly experience. One of very few restaurants worthy of 5 stars … I’ll be back soon for more!

My husband and I have eaten here a few times, very helpful wait staff who memorise your order and their recommendations on food and wine are always spot on.

Our second dining experience at Three Doors Up certainly met our expectations. Dining with a group of five people, the food was superb, and no one was left disappointed with the meals nor the value. Though the Chicken Parmigiana was no longer on the menu, it was cooked especially by request for 3 of our guests. Though not the same item understandably due to no longer being a menu item, it was still satisfactory none the less. The new staff done a great job. Will continue to dine here at every opportunity. Looking forward to dining again before Christmas, to try the Turkey, which sounds mouth-watering.

3 Doors Up deserves to be 5 Star. Partner and I ended up here simply by chance whilst driving through Napier City looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occasion. We ended up stopping at 6 (six!) different venues , but were not disappointed with this little treasure. 3 Doors Up has a spectacular Menu selection, with the best service you could ever hope for. A very charismatic interior, cosy outdoor area with external fire which would be great for summer dining, and superb food and wine matching. 3 Doors up is now our regular, we wouldn’t dine anywhere else.
