Onslow

We had the loveliest dining experience! Everything from the fare (outstanding) to the service (loved the Martini trolley 😊) The young man on the trolley was just delightful, made me miss my son, who recently moved to Australia. The ambience was also on point. This was my second visit (we are from Napier) having previously dined at lunchtime. We'll definitely be back! 😍🤩

Fabulous Food! Enjoyed an outstanding food performance! Waiting staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. The five treat entrees, PAUA, beef, Oysters, crayfish and Brie. - all delicately prepared with a wide spectrum of flavours. Mains were good and the layered chocolate cake was one of the best cakes I have eaten! Overall we felt we were lucky to have the opportunity to taste such fine food. In addition the wine list is comprehensive and the bar staff make great cocktails.

Onslow is now one of my favorite places to dine in Auckland. The atmosphere , the food was amazing and the staff, were very welcoming. Overall the service was great . Our Waiter , was Victor, and he did an amazing job hosting us . Thank you Onslow, will definitely visit again.

Excellent service, fantastic food. It's not exactly an everyday lunch spot, but for a rare treat you can't do much better. Incredibly well executed dishes, the red deer wellington was a particular highlight!

Im lucky enough to travel extensively for my living. This also gives me the opportunity to chance upon some amazing culinary experiences. This was one of those occasions. To visit during Negroni week was a total bonus. Being an avid Negroni drinker I was suitably educated in a selection on local gin and Vermouth which I selected for my custom Negroni. Crab eclair, chicken liver parfait, seared tuna and snapper were my chices from the menu although I could have easily selected other dishes. I guess another visit is in order next time I'm in the country!! This is a restaurant i would highly recommend visiting if you are looking for a taste sensation. Only one small criticism, as a sole traveller its nice to see restaurants serving a crafe of wine rather than by the glass as one glass is never quite enough!!

We were incredibly fortunate to celebrate our wedding in the private dining room at Onslow. From the very beginning, Gillian and the team exuded confidence and care, making us feel like anything was possible. They went above and beyond to ensure our day was as memorable and seamless as it could be. Onslow’s timeless elegance and modern sophistication created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Every detail, from the beautifully styled venue to the exceptional food, drinks, and service - was thoughtfully executed. Our guests are still raving about the outstanding quality and experience. Thank you, Gillian and the entire Onslow team. Your dedication, warmth, and commitment to excellence brought our wedding day to life in the most special way.

We were welcomed warmly. We felt like we were being wrapped into a family. On the online booking form there was an opportunity to say if your booking was for a special occasion. Ours was for our 31st wedding anniversary. Each staff member wished us Happy Anniversary. The staff were all high class, professional, polite, efficient and friendly. The food was wonderful. From the extensive menu what we chose was impeccably presented and delicious. Additionally we were treated with a beautiful and melt-in-your mouth 31st Anniversary treat. A very memorable occasion.

Onslow was special. From the ambience, the food and the service, everything was done with so much attention to detail and care and it really shows. We went with the A La Carte menu, and tried a bunch of things. The crayfish eclairs were truly as good as they looked but the fried bread with whipped goat cheese and truffle honey stood out. It had such great balance and was the perfect one or two biter to start our meal with. The Crudo was fresh and light, but my favourite was the chicken liver parfait. I’ve had a lot of parfaits and this one was one of the best. It had a good blend of subtle flavours and was just the right amount of smoothness. The portion sizes of the dishes up to this point already impressed us, especially for such a nice place. Finally with the mains, the standout was the 12 hour lamb leg. Who would have thought you can get a kg of lamb leg at a fancy restaurant! The broccoli sauce as well as the tenderness of the lamb propelled us to eat as much as we could but we couldn’t eat more. Chilli margaritas were so delicious we had to get more, as well as the “not a tiramisu” cake which just had such great subtle flavours of mousse and chocolate. Onslow did everything right when it comes to what you would expect, and even surprised us. The attention to detail and service truly shines, and we definitely haven’t visited for the last time!
