Consistently serving up amazing food! Have been here a few times now with different seasonal menus and service, food, quality is always amazing. Prices are definitely on the higher end but so good for a special occasion and the portions are great for a fancy spot. Between 2 people we were already full from the first two smaller dishes

A personal favorite, a modern take on South American cuisine without losing the essential flavors, which can only be achieved with deep knowledge of a particular cuisine. Wood fired food techniques with mastery, rich sauces with layers of flavors. The most attentive hosts and great atmosphere. I have brought multiple friends to dine here and nobody has been disappointed.

Loved our first dinner here. We arrived early for our reservation and was very kindly welcomed by Ashleigh. From the fabulous grilled octopus to the beautifully charred rib eye, including the broccoli and potatoes, we had one mouthful of bliss after another. The octopus was bursting with flavour and balanced out with the crema. The steak was wonderful, grilled to perfection and topped with the chimichurri was a match made in heaven. Finally, we finished with the suspiro dessert that came with a theatrical flair - burning the merangue with an iron spatula on the table. We were so full and were already planning what to try on our next visit. Compliments to the chef and the team. Looks like we’ve found another gem to add to our favourite go-to places.

Was a bit difficult to find the restaurant but the food was SO good. I had the cured kingfish, the chicharron, and the market fish and it was all amazing. Service was attentive, too.

Thank you for celebrating special women on Mother's Day! The food was amazing, particularly enjoyed the Peruvian Kingfish ceviche and the grilled octopus. The service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Wow factor!! Service was incredible. Every one of the staff were going above and beyond anticipating our every need. Warm welcoming and friendly we were constantly at easy. Every dish that came out of the kitchen had the wow factor. Our dishes were incredible melt in the mouth flavour explosions. I also watched other patrons have similar experience to us. This was truely a unique experience and I can’t wait to bring more friends & family back here! Thank you Milenta team we will be back!

I am totally blown away by this restaurant. Its a total gem with amazing and cosy atmosphere. Latin music - love it. We arrived on Valentines evening and it was packed. The table we were seated was close the bar, hence heavy wait staff traffic. Center tables were a bit too close to each other. We kindly asked to be moved to a quitter table corner seating and they were very kind to do so. We were given free cocktail shots from the bar which was really nice. Service from start is excellent, very friendly and welcoming staff considering a busy stressful night for them. We thought of ordering a bottle of wine but we would get 4 different cocktails for the same price, so why not. Their cocktails are amazing especially the margarita and Lychee. Entree we had the King Fish Ceviche and Banana prawns... totally blown away by the taste. The mains were Grilled Market Fish and Grilled Pollo rojo Spot on. Desert was Milhojas de Fruta, All in all it was a wonderful experience and has become one of our favorite restaurants in Auckland. xoxo. Total bill for 2 people. $240.00
