Waterfront by Toad Hall

I strongly advise to try the lamb flatbread, it was delicious and delicate, and we tried the karaage chicken burger, it was lovely and crispy. Service brilliant they were all very smiley and friendly. Atmosphere 4 because there were a wedding party and was a bit noisy but the guys handled very well.

Lovely lamb flatbread and sweet potato fries. Great atmosphere and would highly recommend. Came here for flat white and date scones too. Lovely!

Fantastic beachfront location next to the popular Kaiteriteri campsite, with friendly and attentive bar staff. Food ordering was easy, but wait time was over 40 minutes despite the venue not being full, and several customers were raising similar concerns at the same time. Beef burger was good but overpriced at $33 with no sides, while the chicken burger had a very burnt bun. Staff appeared stressed and were fairly confrontational when issues were raised, with a long wait for resolution. A shame given the venue’s clear potential.

The staff were very lovely and warm towards us, the location is beautiful for a restaurant. However, the food is not worth the price, at least not the tacos. I ordered a halloumi and pulled pork taco and they were quite small but that wasn’t the problem. It had the thinnest singular slice of halloumi and barely any pork. For $14 NZ each, this is 100% not worth it. I came here last year and the food options and portions were SOOOO much better. Sadly I believe they have new owners now :(

This place doesn’t answer the phone, wanted to order 4x burgers & chips for the family. Decided to drive in anyway, (website says they are in summer season & takeaways are open til late, came at 530pm). No option for takeaway which is a shame as the food looks good online. Please set proper expectations so people can plan ahead.

Lovely Gluten Free experience in this place! The burger with pork belly was fantastic! There are a lot of gluten free options

The best place for a cold beer and fresh oysters, ordered 6, so good we got 12 more.

Ordered a cappuccino, got no foam, no chocolate on the top, no art, just a sad mess of warm milk in a poorly done shot. The view is really nice, food is good, but if you're wanting/needing a coffee, dont. Others with me got a hot chocolate that was ok, and an iced latte that was milk and ice and also not worth it.
