This is a cute place to go either by yourself or with a group. Vibe is amazing and I loved the atmosphere. The plants added an extra pop that gave a tropical vibe. Service was phenomenal and the staff was very nice and welcoming. Food was very tasty and the drinks were perfectly made. I loved the animal crackers for sure and the meat pie is a must try. Must try the brunch on the weekends. It's PERFECT!

My fiance and I were going on a double date in North Park and didn't realize we need a reservation for the original place we wanted to go to. So this was our plan b, we walked in with No Reservations and got really lucky that there was seats available for us outside. And don't worry the outside patio seating is just as adorable and jungle like as inside! Honestly our service was pretty slow, but our server is really nice and we gave her some grace, seem like she's just really busy with a lot of tables. We ordered a few appetizers off the happy hour and drinks, and really enjoyed every bite! I was really impressed with their quality, every dish we had was flavorful and mouth-watering. I ordered the steak and Fritz in my fiance ordered some of the sliders. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for Quality New Zealand food and adorable chic ambience!

Beautiful venue, good music and decor. Would be good for friend meetups, dates or family outing. We had the: Dutch cake and berries - so good! Plenty for 4 people to sample The cure - really big breakfast, very tasty Cold brew - very smooth Spiced lavender bubbles - delicious. Chilaquiles - good! I would go back!

Dunedin New Zealand Eats is a fantastic spot tucked in the heart of South Park, one of my favorite areas in the city. There’s so much to do on the street—from boutique shopping to grabbing coffee or dessert after your meal—though parking can be a bit of a challenge, so plan ahead if you’re driving. Inside, the vibe strikes a nice balance between comfortable and chic. It’s a place where you could just as easily catch up with friends over a casual lunch or enjoy a relaxed date night. We tried the chicken pot pie and the kiwilango burger, and both were excellent. The chicken pot pie is exactly what comfort food should be—rich, savory, and satisfying with a generous layer of buttery puff pastry. The kiwilango burger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful with just the right amount of kick. We paired it with the sweet potato fries, which were crisp and delicious. This place nails the food and the atmosphere—definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

After a long day, sitting outside on the patio was a much needed break. Service was exceptional and food was on par. They also offer a happy hour menu that shouldn’t be missed. Will definitely make it back here.

Great food and awesome service! Nice outdoors New Zealand meets California ambiance. This an awesome place for a great outdoors evening. Great desserts. They need to work on their red wine availability badly: their house wine was not available, their bartender’s red recommendation ran out as soon as they poured our glass, and their third choice was just $62 a bottle… I’m sure a good restaurant would have at least one bottle of good red readily available. Get to work on that and we’ll see you next time!! Make sure you are well stocked on red wines!

Imma let you all in on a little New Zealand Eat secret. Sign up for the Burger of the Month club! This months BotM was a Bulgogi korean bbq ribeye steak, kimchi, with Korean aioli and it was mmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmgoooooood! Once a month you get a free BotM with the purchase of another one of their fantastic burgers. Now, you are probably thinking, "I'd definitely go to Dunedin just for that great deal like Grant does!" Well, my friends, that's not why I go there. Not even close. I go there specifically for their Sweet Potato Fries with Wasabi Aioli. Those jawns are absolutely to kill for! Dunedin's burgers are good, don't get me wrong, but they can't even hold a tiny candle to their sweet potato fries. If you go to Dunedin and don't get their sweet potato fries then why did you even waste your time reading this.

Came here for a friend's birthday on Saturday night and loved it! The happy hour is everyday 3-6pm which I think is amazing. Loved the Bee's Knees cocktail. The sweet potato fries are delicious and I really enjoyed the meatloaf dish. I also liked the onion dip/chips and pretzel bites. Our first round of drinks took a very long time to come out but the server made up for it by allowing us to order another round on happy hour price after 6pm. The ambiance is so whimsical and beautiful! Effective heaters on the patio where we sat so it was not cold at all. They did a super cute dessert for my friend's birthday on the house which I always think is a special touch.

I typically go to Dunedin for weekend brunch (steak tamale benedict is my fave thing to order) but I recently went there for a girls night out with my friends. We were surprised to find out that they do daily happy hour from 3 pm to 6 pm! We ordered off the happy hour menu and the portions were perfect if you're not too hungry! I got the fish and chips which is always great and my friends got different sliders. The NZ onion dip is sooo tasty as well. Service is always good here as well.

Went here to watch the niner game (its a niner bar fyi) and have been wanting to try this spot out for awhile. We are so glad we did. Definitely will be back. Service was great and food was quite good. Their hh is nice. Every day from 3-6. We had the Happy Hour dip, the hh fish and chips, their burrata and prosciutto with arugula, and their cast iron cookie with vanilla ice cream. Niners lost. boo but our tummies won!

$4 mimosas and a jumbo pile of tots for the post-Thanksgiving hangover? Absolutely. Our bartender was super friendly and the vibes are always immaculate at Dunedin.

Stopped in for brunch and we had a great time! We ordered two things to split - the cure and the quiche and both were excellent! The cure is definitely a bit heavier but the gravy was delicious and the fried chicken was cooked perfectly. Service was good despite how busy they were and how lightly staffed they seemed. We never had to wait long! Love this place - will be back again for brunch!

I was fortunate enough to catch Dunedin during their all day Tuesday happy hour. Note that the discounted mimosas only include the orange base. The bar and interior dining area were beautifully green and filled with plant life. There was only one person handling both the tables and the bar, so service was a bit slow but he was incredibly friendly. *Hummus N' Veggies: an interesting mix of creamy hummus with a central pool of chimichurri. Served with carrots, cucumber, and naan. The vegetables were crunchy and fresh and the naan had a nice grilled quality. The hummus was well seasoned and the chimichurri added an herby accent. I just wished there had been more naan to scoop up the hummus. *Fish N' Chips: one large piece of fried cod served with French fries. The batter was light, airy, and slightly sweet. The cod itself was a bit chewy and bland on its own, so it benefited from the vinegar and tartar sauce. The fries were golden and delicious. *NZ Meat Pie And Chips: the special came with only one pie instead of the usual two, but it was packed with beef and lamb. There was a touch of gameiness, yet the gravy was rich and savory. The puff pastry was light and flaky and the cheddar worked well as a binder. The fries were just as good and I loved the sweet tomato chutney alongside all the savory flavors. *Mimosa: $4 all day Tuesday. A generous pour of champagne with orange juice that was fine but nothing special. A few of these would leave anyone buzzed. *Bees Knees: another happy hour cocktail with an equally heavy pour of gin. I would have appreciated more lemon juice for balance and the honey was too muted for this to truly feel like a Bees Knees. *Peach Cobbler: their seasonal dessert featured peaches that were on the firmer side and could have used more baking. A thicker coating of spices and sugar would have helped bring out the autumn flavors. The traditional breading was replaced with an oat topping that was tough, floral, and undercooked. The vanilla ice cream was alright. The New Zealand specialties were the highlight, especially the meat pie, although the other entrees and sides were enjoyable as well. The drinks and dessert were just alright, but overall it was a great spot to hang out on a Tuesday.

Came here on a Sunday mid-morning with a friend who was treating me for my birthday. I had come here once before for brunch and really enjoyed it so I hoped to recreate that experience. We were seated near the bar on a high top and we were feeling lucky as there was a fan as well. It was a warm morning so it was very welcome. My friend enjoyed a hot coffee while I had the cold brew. It has a light flavor and was very smooth. I added a little bit of cream to it as well. I was very glad to see that the Tamale Steak Benedict was still on the menu. My friend had the Dutch cake with berries and we shared it. It was a good balance of sweet and savory. I liked everything about the tamale Benedict. The steak was cooked very well and the slices made it easier to share. The eggs were well poached and the sauce was awesome. The tamale was pretty good as well. The Dutch cake is like a crepe and was tender. The berry medley contained blueberries, strawberries and blackberries. They were all sweet, ripe and very fresh. Tasted like summer. Our server was very attentive and friendly. He came to check in on us just the right number of times. Overall a great experience. Can't wait to back to try other items.

Celebrated brunch with friends for a b-day! Seated outside, the weather was perfect. Our server was attentive and sweet (and very honest about how strong the double shot mimosas were). I ordered the Dutch pancakes with berries and a double shot mimosa. I wish the $16 deal for double applied to other mimosa flavors as well! Food took a little while to arrive, granted I was with a big group. Dutch pancakes were good, crispy and didn't get too soggy under the berries and syrup. Good alone, even better with the berry jam. Every bite definitely needed berries. Overall, sweet (no pun intended) experience! I want to come back to try more of their savory options.

It was my first time here and I didn't know what to expect. What is New Zealand food? There is indoor and outdoor seating. We came for brunch. Parking sucks down in this area. The space itself felt kind of small and they do have a little bar upstairs. Whatever we ordered was just American food. A burger and shrimp&grits. The service was fast and friendly, nothing spectacular. I didn't feel the best after my shrimp and grits. And I love shrimp and grits, it's my favorite brunch dish. Out of everything we ordered the calamari was my favorite. I definitely wouldn't come back. Nothing was "omg" to me that I need to come back for.

Thanks to a promo, we've been coming here more often over the past year and it allows us to enjoy North Park even more. The food and service are wonderful, and the vibe and rainforest decor make for a nice hangout. There's always an eclectic selection of music playing covering different genres and decades. The photos are from our several visits. I really like their Lamb Burger and I prefer their fatty fries way more than the skinny fries. Their amazing sauces you have to try; my top two favorites are the wasabi aioli and garlic aioli. Other tasty sauces include red pepper aioli and tomato chutney. Aside from their burgers, other standout entrees are the Steak and Caesar Salad and their Meat Pies. The brunch items we've tried during a pre-2pm visit were hearty, delicious, and satisfying. To drink, I often order the non-alcoholic Electric Berry, which is made with blueberry, lavender, and mint. It is my favorite beverage there (so refreshing!). As for appetizers, I recommend the calamari and Cat's Chili. Their desserts are yummy and perfect for sharing.

My perfect girl dinner? The steak and Cesar salad entree for dinner. It comes with shoe string fries my personal fave and sautéed mushrooms. This would legit be my last meal if I were ever on death row. I've never actually been able to sit inside I almost always get the same table outside. Love the garden setting it great to relax with a good friend and enjoy some drinks. Never have had a bad experience here and always felt super attended to from my server.

Dunedin is a beautifully decorated New Zealand restaurant with plenty of seating and great ambiance. It's a place slightly out of the fray of the main North Park strip, so you could almost miss it. I came here with a few friends for happy hour and it was fantastic. The outdoor garden seating at sunset was such a nice place to sit and enjoy a drink. Our happy hour drinks and eats were affordable and delicious. Would definitely return to this spot!

Took my mom to this New Zealand restaurant before she heads home--mostly at my husband's strong recommendation. While it's not my personal favorite, I have to admit their chicken pot pie is amazing! Flaky crust, rich filling, and a generous portion--only available at dinner. Other standouts: the pretzel, perfect if you love lye bread, and the beet & blue cheese salad, great for bold flavors. The lamb skewers were tasty but a bit pricey. The only miss? The fried mushroom sticks--too much batter. Overall, nice spot with a beautiful setting, though the outdoor heaters were a bit intense. Worth a visit, especially for the chicken pot pie!

Came here without a reservation and was seated immediately. Our server who was also a bartender was kind and greeted us, however, the service was very slow since it was hard getting his attention. Anyways, my boyfriend and I ended up ordering Bare Lamb Burger and Dutch Cake. The whole entire time, it took approximately 40 minutes for a server to bring out our food to later giving it to the wrong table. From my experience, Dutch cake takes a bit longer to make, however, I think they started making the lamb the same time as the Dutch cake which was a huge mistake. The burger came out cold-warm, the bun beneath was super soggy, and the cheese was starting to harden. Quite disappointing since I think the flavors and juiciness were all there. The meat was also quite small since some of my bites were meatless. As for the Dutch cake, it's different from all the other ones I have tried. The batter was thicker, and it tasted like a normal pancake but in a bigger form. The chicken was delicious, crispy, and juicy on the inside, but like the lamb, it was cold-warm. The berries were fresh and sweet though! Overall, I felt like my experience could've been better. There were so many hiccups prior to us getting our food which led to the food tasting just okay. Service could've also been a lot better. As for the restaurant itself, there were also a lot of mosquitos and bugs so be prepared because it's all outdoor. Parking can be a bit difficult since it's street parking.

Came to Dunedin New Zealand Eats in North Park with a group of friends on a weekend brunch rush and wow -- the food absolutely delivered! I ordered the legendary Dutch Pancake with fried chicken on top and it was pure heaven. That giant, thin pancake with the crispy edges, dusted in powdered sugar, loaded with berries and that perfectly juicy, well-seasoned fried chicken in the middle... ridiculous. Easily one of the best sweet-savory combos I've had. Everyone at the table was raving about their dishes too -- the biscuits & gravy with tater tots and the truffle-parmesan tots from the burger plate disappeared in minutes . It was slightly busy when we went so service was a little slower than ideal -- took about 35-40 minutes for food to come out and getting refills/water took some flagging down. Nothing terrible, just something to know if you're in a hurry. But honestly? The second that Dutch baby hit the table, all was forgiven. Totally worth the wait. Cool vibe, super friendly staff even though they were busy, and the portions are massive. Prices are fair for what you get. Will 100% be back -- already dreaming about that chicken and cake combo. Highly recommend if you're in North Park and want brunch that's a little different (and a lot delicious)!

This is a restaurant I frequently visited when I first moved down to San Diego. I absolutely love the aesthetic. Feels like you're in another country. It's so beautiful vibrant and playful. Sadly, I feel as though the customer service has gone downhill. There's a lot of periods where nobody comes to check in on you, I never received the drinks I ordered, and water was never refilled. The food is just OK. I ordered the lamb burger, which was very overwhelming. There were so many flavors, that I didn't know what to focus on. Between the mint jelly and the blue cheese, I felt like I was on a roller coaster of flavors. I ordered because I was curious and I definitely wouldn't order it again. The fries were a bit over salted as well.

Got there right after brunch, but we were not disappointed. We got sat almost immediately. The environment is mostly outdoors which made for an amazing lunch because of our amazing San Diego weather. Our waiter was cool, helpful, and attentive. The appetizer (chips and onion dip) was really good. So good I didn't even get a good picture. Ordered the Pims cup. Very good and fresh. For food we had a burger and fish and chips. Fries were a mix of sweet and savory.

Had a lovely early dinner at Dunedin tonight, enjoying the Thursday night happy hour specials. We ordered lamb skewers with hummus. The lamb was cooked rare and served with a delicious hummus and som pita bread. Small plate with two short skewers- each skewer with two bites of lamb. We also had a beautiful beet and blue cheese salad and a New Zealand meat pie with fries. Everything was yummy. And the ambience of the restaurant was fun. My friend warned me that we would be sitting outside and that we should bring pillows because the chairs are uncomfortable. With terrific San Diego weather, sitting outside was another way to enjoy where we live. I was glad that we brought our own pillows

Great Vibes, Great Eats, Great Deal! Stopped in for lunch in Dunedin with some friends, and WOW, what a first impression! The atmosphere is absolutely on point--super cozy, relaxed, and the kind of vibe that makes you want to linger longer than planned. I went for the $20 lunch deal, and let me just say--phenomenal value! A burger, beer, and fries that didn't just hit the spot--they hit it out of the park. Perfectly cooked, crispy fries (the kind you can't stop eating), and a burger that was juicy and packed with flavor. I also tried the chips and dip, which were a pleasant surprise--simple but seriously tasty! This spot is perfect for hanging out and chatting with friends, whether you're catching up or just soaking in the laid-back energy. Next time, I'll definitely get adventurous with some of the more unique menu items that caught my eye.

Went on Tues. which is Happy Hour menu all day. They had some good choices for $10 but I opted for the beet salad and steak. The service was excellent. He made sure that my steak was cooked medium rare and provided great service. It's a cute place in N.P. and parking was difficult as usual even at lunchtime.

I'm glad I made this discovery because although I'm not huge burger person, I quite enjoy the burgers here. My first time here I got the 100% lamb burger, which was very delicious and I would order it over and over again. All the components inside the burger pair well with each other and don't hide the lamb flavor. The restaurant is somewhat like a treehouse themed and can get pretty crowded. Reservations are welcome and bar seating is first come first serve. The service is good and the vibes are better! They have happy hour deals on certain days and is a good place to grab lunch or dinner with buddies or date night!

The happy hour deals were really worth it with $7-$10 options for drinks and appetizers. This review is mainly for happy hour drinks and options except for the smash burger entree which is on the regular menu. We were in a party of 5 with a reservation for 5:00p; the hostess was quick to have us seated in an outside booth with a dedicated heater that kept us warm and comfortable. - Food - 5/5 Onion Dip: the chip and sauce combination was delightful and savory without spiciness; we ended up dipping our fries into it as well. 3/5 Pretzel Bites: maybe I couldn't get much of the jalapeño cheese whenever I dipped it in, but it was the standard pretzel bites, nothing more and nothing less. 4/5 Fish N Chips: the fish breading was nice and crispy, with larger wedge fries for hearty potato action. 5/5 Smash Burger: I had a bite of it and it was a savory burger with a side of skinny fries which was my favorite side item. The skinny fries are nice and crispy, with a slightly sweet pepper seasoning that makes it memorable compared to others. - Drinks - 5/5 Queen Bee: tastes like a pineapple Mai Tai but with tequila, and even though I struggle with tequila, I would definitely order it if I visit again. 3/5 Rose and Old Fashioned: not much to add here, no complaints or unique qualities.

The ambiance is so pleasant. I love all the outdoor seating. It's perfect for a sunny day, but also perfectly comfy on a cold one, thanks to the many heaters. I got the shrimp and grits, which was the best I've had at a restaurant. Most places scrimp on grits which is ridiculous because it's just corn mush. But Dunedin gave me enough to take home leftovers. Brunch was also really good. Excellent tots! The brunch menu is confusing, and I was bummed to find that Dutch pancakes are only served on the weekends. But I'll happily come back for some.

Came for happy hour. It wasn't too busy when we got there right at 4. Lots of outdoor space and a good amount of indoor as well. It has an indoor/outdoor feel with the indoor space opening to the outdoors. Dog friendly everywhere in the restaurant which is a huge plus. We just got drinks during hh. Wine options for $7 a glass and they have a few cocktail options at $10. We got a Sauvignon Blanc and a rose and we preferred the white. Much crisper and more acidic which I like. Service was very friendly and quick. I would definitely come back.

Everything was great! I really enjoyed sitting inside, it felt like hanging out in an exotic treehouse! There are big open windows that allow the fresh air in and the decor is all lush greens and wood tones. Our waitress was so busy but she had a great attitude and was upbeat and so friendly. We felt very welcome. We ordered an appetizer and our food. The only very small issue I had was that the appetizer took (what seemed like) forever but the food came right behind it. So idk if they forgot to serve the app or if their ticket times were just off. Not a big deal though. The best part, though, was the food! All of our food was packed with flavor and different textures. It was all so tasty! My wife got the salmon and kale. Due to a medical thing she can't eat raw veggies right now, so she asked for the kale on the side (see the photo). She loved the salmon and I thought the kale salad had a nice light, fresh dressing. I got the chicken pot pie and that was delicious! The veggies were not all mushy and there were big chicken chunks. My brother in law ordered the blazing ahi and said it was full of flavor and had many textures but felt like the wasabi aioli was outshining the ahi. My nephew had the smash burger and he smashed the heck out of it! I didn't even get a picture of it because he ate it so fast! Overall... can't wait to come back and try something else. The burgers looked epic!

We hit this place before a show and I was intrigued with the New Zealand flair. I made a reservation, wasn't needed at 4:00 on a Saturday. Staff here had a VERY weird vibe, there wasn't a smile in sight, a lack of feeling of working together, and service overall was lacking. Two men got seated next to us, and ended up leaving because no one even got them drinks. We ordered the pretzel bites with jalapeño cheese, they were good . I ordered the Jefferson and got medium rare. My burger was cooked perfectly but the bottom bun was SO soggy it was falling apart. My daughter got the spicy chicken sandwich which was good, although the chicken was a little dry. Portions of fries were very small, which was a bummer. The steak fries were really good though. Parking was difficult here, the streets are packed. The ambiance is cool, that's kinda all I'll give this spot though.

This was our first experience, and I didn't know what to expect. We came for a Father's Day Eve dinner. My wife knows I have a cultural fascination with New Zealand, so she found this place and thought we'd give it a shot. I had the bare lamb burger, and it was delicious! We also had the chicken pot pie, lamb skewers, Nelsons chicken sandwich, steak and chips and started with calamari. All around the food was great, each one of my kids finished their food! The only draw back was service wait time. The only table that could take a party of five was outside along the sidewalk, which was fine. But our waitress was probably a little spread thin, as it took her a while to take our entree order and eventually took a while to bring us our check. She was super nice and the experience was over all great, just a little tighter on the service check-ins would have made it perfect.

Cool little spot located in North Park - away from the busy strip. Great spot for some gourmet food and cute drinks! Offers seating outside, inside, and by the bar. No adjacent parking lot so just like most of SD you'll have to park at nearby streets. It is on the pricier side but vibes are great!

I really liked this restaurant! I went with a group of people for Wed dinner. Our server was very attentive and sweet. There's a nice outdoor area along with inside seating. Also a bar with bar chairs. Parking was not terrible since it's further from the main street of north park, there is residential parking nearby. In terms of the food, there is a selection of appetizers, entrees and burgers. I ordered the soup and sandwich for a vegetarian option. I thought the portion was generous, the bread was toasted well, and the soup had good flavor. It was nice how the sandwich already included avocado. Personal preference that I would not get the tomatoes in the sandwich again.

My partner, daughter and I met up with some friends from college for brunch at Dunedin on a Saturday morning. I made a reservation ahead of time since I didn't know what to expect. When we arrived (just a few minutes before 10 a.m.), the restaurant wasn't open or ready to accept guests, so you may not need to make a reservation for right at opening. For our group of 6, they seated us at one of their tables outside. We all ordered different things ranging from the NP breakfast place to the fried chicken breakfast burrito and the dutch pancake with fried chicken. We didn't wait long at for our food to come out and the portions were insane! The dutch pancake was overflowing the plate and the breakfast burrito came with a large cup of tater tots. I thoroughly enjoyed the dutch pancake and breakfast burrito entrees. They both had great flavors and my daughter loved everything we put in front of here. We'd eat here again!

I came here for a friends birthday and we were a total party of 12. We did have a reservation so there was no wait when we got there and we were seated quickly. The vibe was very cute and the decorations were great. Hummus w/ Pita Bread & Veggies - 10/10, the hummus was delicious and our party loved it. The pita bread was warm as well Fried Calamari - 10/10, definitely another one of our favorites. the calamari was crispy the the spicy sauce paired well with it Meso Tasty Burger - 10/10, this was so good!!! they are known for their burgers so almost everyone in our party got one. The chicken was so tender and the flavors were amazing Lamb Burger - 2/10, this was definitely something that is an acquired taste. The mint jelly + lamb combo was definitely not my favorite and my boyfriend who ordered this ended up switching to the Smash Burger Smash Burger - 9/10, the burger was great, I think it would have been nice to have a bit more flavor but it was a pretty solid burger! Most of our party got this and they all enjoyed it There was also a birthday dessert which was nice, it was a lemony custard kind of thing and I liked it. Service was great as well despite it being busy, I definitely want to come back to try their burger of the month!

Can't believe I have been on this road probably 1/2 dozen times and never saw it until I made a reservation. :-) Loved the fun atmosphere, the servers, the food, the decor that makes you feel like being in New Zealand. The sliders, meat pies, Cat's chili, and the huge portion for s'mores were all delectable. For sure will be returning on next night out when in the area.

My friend and I tried to go to Underbelly next door but the line was out of the door. And since I've always wanted to try Dunedin we decided to go there instead and it turned out to be a really great decision. We got seated right away despite it being a Friday night. The outdoor seats had a nice ambiance to it. Our waiter was super charming and recommended me the Queen Bee Drink because I wanted a sweet cocktail and it was delicious. I did wish there was a bit more in my cup but still a great drink nonetheless (shout out our waiter Frankie, you were great)! I tried the Cajun shrimp and loved the sauce it came in. I thought they cooked the shrimp really well and it had a ton of flavor to it. I'd get this dish again. I also had the Queenstown Fav burger with a fried egg and it had a really juicy beef patty. I love fried eggs and it was nice add to the flavor and texture of the burger. The fries were cut all nice and thin. I appreciated they had 2 house made sauces - wasabi aioli and chipotle. I'd love to come back here again, especially for their $2 mimosas during weekend brunch!

i immediately got extremely strong positive vibes from the waitress who smiled at me and gave me the big water because she knew i needed it. long day today and the sliders and skinny fries were the bright shining sun on an otherwise dark and gloomy afternoon. if you want to smile, go to new zealand. if you can't afford it, come here. i know this might sound forward but... i love you, dunedin new zealand eats.

Went here to celebrate my birthday. They were sweet enough to give me a dessert. This place gives off date night or a places for couples. The service was good.

I know nothing about New Zealand cuisine - but it seems that on the other side of the equator - anything with the word "pie" in it is part of their food pyramid. I got the NZ meat pie with chips - and you get real chips! None of that shoestring crud - real honest chips!! My only complaint is that they dust them a little too hard with the Old Bay seasoning. The meat pie was excellent - the mixture of beef, cheese, and a crispy pastry was spot on. Interior is eclectic- I'm sure the designs mean something tribal. Great outdoor seating and pup friendly!

We came across spot after knowing a lemonade spot we were looking for no longer exists. This place is super cute and reminds me of Jamaica! We ordered a regular lemonade and blueberry lavender lemonade. The syrups were homemade and delicious! Perfect, refreshing drink for the summer. The pretzel bites with the spicy cheese were delicious but not worth $16. Overall, I would recommend this spot for the ambiance & great service!

Fun restaurant with good vibes. The lamb skewers were amazing! Parking options down the street.

Such a cute spot that makes you appreciate North Park and being off the strip. We are able to get seats at the bar right away and watch the games on tv. Cordell, our bartender, was attentive and quick! The skinny fries that came with the burger were perfectly cooked, but I love a fatty fry myself and substituted out. Good service, good vibes, and good food!

Ok, so I tried this spot not that long ago, it was nice in the middle of North Park, parking on this side was not that bad. The pancake was good but that chicken was my favorite, they brought me a side of gravy and with that chicken, yes it went together and I want to go back and try the lunch/dinner. All the staff were all good looking, so if you're ugly, this place will make you feel worse, jk. They were all really nice. I sat upstairs and the morning breeze and the plants made it really nice of a spot to enjoy.

Review is for Happy Hour only. We ordered the Fish & Chips and the Lamb Slider & Skinny Fries, and a hot tea. The Skinny fries on the Lamb Slider came out cold, which were replaced with hot ones by our friendly waitress. The fries on the Fish & Chips were thick Steak fries and they were undercooked and mushy, but hot. The Fish portion was tiny, a little bigger than a single fish ginger but the beading was delicious and crisp. The Lamb slider was tiny also but well seasoned and tasted good. The hot tea was a mug with a teabag...$6. Total was about $30 and not a good value at all. I can't see coming back for Happy Hour unless I just ordered the worst items on the Happy Hour menu. Overall, high expectations and low results.
