Just incredibly terrible – the class it had when it was Gybe has been completely destroyed by the new owners. Decor, table settings and ambiancehave gone downhill, it’s now more like a diner but with Auckland restaurant prices. Previous atmosphere of professional, well-trained and friendly waiters and customer service orientated management have been replaced by untrained cafeteria style waiting staff and the management/owners are the worst I have experienced not only in New Zeland but anywhere in the world. Not only are they unprofessional (coming out to the table with hands just out of the dishwater still drying stemware) but the aggressive behaviour and foul language used towards clientele are something that needs to be heard to be believed. This site would not be the place to quote in full. The expensive menu lacks any creativity and all speaks of “I am out of a jar.” What a great waste of one of Whangarei’s best locations. Hope it won’t last long.
