The Grounds at Whoa! Studios

Celebrating our lovely daughter’s 6th birthday—and her very first birthday party—at this restaurant was the best decision we could have made! From the beginning, Rachel, the owner, was incredibly helpful, patiently answering all our questions and guiding us through the party planning process. The staff was beyond kind, making sure everything ran smoothly. The delicious buffet for adults, the fantastic kids’ menu, and the amazing outdoor playground made this place truly special. Everything was just perfect for us! A huge thank you to the staff for warmly accommodating 20 excited kids! If anyone is looking for the perfect venue for a child’s birthday party, I highly recommend this place!

Awesome place to take the kids for dinner. They just played the whole time. Delicious cocktails and food was pretty good but my crispy pork wasn't crispy. Kids plates were generous and yum. We will return for sure.

So good! Couldn’t fault a thing. Staff and food were amazing. The spicy eggs benny was delicious and the salmon bagel had the tastiest cream cheese. Definitely recommend, I don’t know why we haven’t been here sooner. Will be back!

Great place for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch. Loads of parking. Indoor and Outdoor eating areas. Really big playground for the kids. They have a bar station and wide open restaurant space. The food is tasty and the coffee is delicious. Team are fast and friendly. One of the better places to eat in West Auckland.

The food was just okay, but the kids loved playground. Only downside is there weren’t enough parking spots.

The food was smacking good! The eggs were perfect, the breakfast burger was juicy and oh the hot chocolate on a cold morning was amazing! 😍 Would recommend this place, the ambience is amazing as well! The staff are super friendly and welcoming! 🤩🤩🤩

We went on a Sunday and they were pretty busy. There was only outdoor seating available when we first arrived but the manger offered us a table inside once one came free, which we really appreciated since it was quite windy. It was pretty noisy because I think there was a children's birthday party going on, but with the huge playground outdoors, the kids were kept occupied and it wasn't a problem at all. We all enjoyed the food. We got a burger, laksa, hotcakes, prawn spaghetti and the big breakfast. I can't fault them on anything as everything was well done and delicious. The food was on the more expensive side, but the portions were quite generous.

2024 booked a table for mother's Day dinner as it was a place I was really interested in trying. Booking was easy. Pleasantly surprised and amazed at the atmosphere, wasn't busy but had good vibes, there was live music from a single guy and he was great, very entertaining and friendly. We were seated and ordered our food and drink which was bloody good. I was first made aware of this place when a program was aired in relation to Alzheimer's and really impressed with how the staff made sure the participants were treated with respect. Highly recommended this place
