Orca Eatery & Bar

My sister and I came to Raglan from Auckland for the weekend. We ate here for dinner on Friday, lunch on Saturday and back again for dinner on Saturday night. We sat in the garden area each time which was lovely and sunny. The food was amazing! We had: garlic bread, fries and calamari for Friday dinner, a beautiful broccoli salad and an aubergine stack for dinner, and finally the tofu dish and vege stack for dinner. All very yummy, great seasoning, spices and dressings. And just to be even more piggy than we had already been we got ginger crunch and cookie slice to take away 🐷 Would highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely eating experience while we were here 🙂

What a lovely experience on a rainy day. Friendly staff happy for us to sit over a cup of tea while we waited for our friends. Fabulous seafood chowder. Highly recommend a visit to Orca. With a lovely view of the harbour this was the perfect place to meet friends.

Visit 1 over a weekend: Nice lunch with our parents. Bookings are often necessary. Enjoyed calamari (decent plateful) ceviche, garlic prawns and beef and cheese burger. Mojito didn’t go astray either. Lovely service and nice view by the window. Visit 2 - next weekend: Stopped in for lunch again. Not quite so great. Ordered a Margarita and the rim was sugared rather than salted. Shared a plate of the fish and chip meal - the chip portion was sadly lacking and the piece of tomato in the salad was microscopic ( the ginger dressing was very tasty) - this was a $31 meal. Very disappointing

Nicely decorated and space between tables. Food amazing, thanks chef!!! Winter saturday early eve no reservation needed. Moderate noise level. Really well done.

Super nice and cozy décor, with quality food to brighten my weekend. Definitely an ideal spot for gatherings with friends and family!

Very impressed! We had the crispy roast pork special with an ice cold pint of beer, and loved it. The pork was cooked perfectly accompanied by some fresh vegetables. Delicious 😌

My wife and I were on holiday and went to the Orca. We opted for the sea food platter. What a disappointment. Under cooked scallops to a point I thought they were raw. The mussels stone cold. The calamari was coated in a light batter and again cold. There were deep fried oysters and some type of fish which was totally tasteless. I should have complained but that is not in my nature but we won't be back. I did however send them a message on Facebook outlining our experience which never got a reply other than a smiley face which I consider totally unprofessional , also my email went unanswered. So a word to the wise, avoid this place for food.

Great place to eat, good views and great staff!
