    The views are nice. Beers are a bit pricey, but it's St heliers. For those googling to see if they do.. There are absolutely zero vegan options on the menu.

    Found this place by chance. Great food! Dog friendly if you sit outside of course, our doggies got their very own water bowls. These photos are the lamb salad and the smashed avocado on vogel. Great lunch!

    It’s an ok place, not somewhere I would proactively recommend but not bad either. We went there at 9 pm because there weren’t many other options. They had a small late night menu from which we chose salt & pepper squid and regular fries, because they didn’t have the beer battered ones. Squid barely had any flavor and fries were just ok. It was probably a bit pricey for the standard quality of food but it wasn’t bad.

    Jimmy and Julia are the best waiters I’ve ever had in my life. This was my first trip abroad from Alabama, I’ve never been anywhere else in my life, and they made me feel so welcome and at home. They deserve the world, and they’ll treat you like family. Plus, the food is perfect for a night out, and the drinks are great!! Come and have fun

    We enjoyed a lovely lunch on a sunny November Saturday at Moreton’s in St Heliers. The food was exactly what we were looking for and the table outside, with a view of the ocean, was simply great. The real highlight of our lunch was our server Ella. She made helpful suggestions about the drinks and the menu and went the extra mile for us, all with a warm smile. Cheers Ella.

    We had a yummy dinner of burgers. They are the best. They also had a quiz night on but didn't stay for that. Great service by Kayla and food turnaround was very fast. Highly recommend.

    Our waitress was Kayla and she was great. I love the location - it’s right across the street from Kohi beach, so there’s a great atmosphere here. There are a lot of people here and the food is great and is reasonably priced. Would recommend the brisket bourguignon.

    Everything was simply extraordinary! The quality of the food was very good, the presentation of the dishes sublime (especially the waffles) and we had a great waiter, thanks to Jamie! And thanks to the whole kitchen team for a great meal!

    Great experience at Moretons today. Really great location with lovely view of the ocean. Got a surprisingly affordable brunch and the waitstaff were very friendly and accommodating of my dietary requirements. I will say if you’re a vegan there’s nothing for you here, but for everyone else, highly recommend :)

    We had a wonderful time. Taylor and Jessie were outstanding. My dad said it was the best birthday function he had ever had. It was his 94th birthday and you guys made it so special. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Chloe L. 10 months ago on Google
    We had a lovely night on Wednesday. 3 families with 6 kids in tow, we were fortunate enough to be served by the amazing waitress Kayla. From start to finish, she provided an exceptional level of service that truly exceeded my expectations.

  • 5/5 Leilani S. 11 months ago on Google
    We visited today for Mother's Day dinner, and honestly received the best service from our waitress Kayla. She was very welcoming and patient with taking our orders. On top of that, food was absolutely beautiful! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Max J. 9 months ago on Google
    This was a great lunch. The food we ordered was excellent. I highly recommend seafood chowder and calamari- both with generous portions and reasonable prices. Or waitress Jessie was very helpful and her customer service was excellent. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Bill W. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty food, reasonable price, comfy high seating with a panorama view to the sea and Rangitoto Island! A perfect spot for a sea breeze lunch. The mussel and shell fish a little over cooked and a little chewy.

  • 4/5 Gemma S. 1 year ago on Google
    We have visited this local bar and restaurant a few times and have never been dissatisfied. On our recent visit, we went with a large group for a meal. We were put in a separate room, away from the rest of the bar which was nice because the bar was noisy. The room seemed recently renovated and had a lovely atmosphere. The menu has appeared to have been updated recently. From the food that my table got, I was pleasantly surprised at the presentation and quality of the meals. Everything was very big too. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a bite to eat, a drink, or a sit-down meal. Its location on the waterfront allows you to sit outside and view the ocean if you wish, or have a more private dinner. My main criticism would just come around the noise level inside.

    Excellent service !!! Staff was very friendly 😊 and fantastic atmosphere. Food was also tasty 😋 Will go again.

  • 5/5 Heath P. 1 year ago on Google
    The local watering hole with great views, good energy, and reliable food and service. Easily one of the best burgers in the area, as reflected by the price. Also recommend the warm lamb salad. Cheers to our server, Jimmy, for attentive service and clear communication. Can't say myself, but I've been told this is a great spot to watch a game.

  • 5/5 LuNa The T. 2 years ago on Google
