😠 Disappointed. The food was blah, the waitress with the glasses was very immature and poorly trained, from slamming dishes, to snatching trays, leaving dirty dishes made available for her to take away. The food was a major let down with runny eggs, coupled with a handful of fruit, chilled bread and... People often mention great, good,

    Disappointed. The food was blah, the waitress with the glasses was very immature and poorly trained, from slamming dishes, to snatching trays, leaving dirty dishes made available for her to take away. The food was a major let down with runny eggs, coupled with a handful of fruit, chilled bread and my husbands bread was grilled. I had to ask multiple time for extra syrup being as though I was given possibly a tablespoon worth for a Belgian waffle. The bartender made a great coffee and had a nice humor but the rest was a disappointment.

    The restaurant is located right at the wharf where we met friends and all 6 of us had dinner. The food was delicious and well presented. We had the Spanish Octopus (real yummy), crab empanadas, Devonport Wharf Fish & Chips, Capricioza and Garlic Pizzas plus drinks. Recommended

    Popped in for a gin and tonic after a spot of shopping. I went with a gin I hadn't tried before that was apparently British. It was pretty good so would order it again. Will go back to try food as I'm often in Devonport these days. It was quite a rainy day the day I was here but I'm sure on a sunny day the view of the water is nice. It was relaxing hearing the waves splashing around underneath the restaurant whilst I journaled. Quite convenient to drop in before/after getting on/off the ferry.

    Food tasted nice but for the lunch platter disappointed as not much there for nearly $30. presentation disappointing as a few scattered chickpeas over some thin spread hummus. Falafel were tasty. My friend had the same but with lamb and she got a more generous serving of lamb. The flat breads weren't Turkish bread as I'd expected but more like the soft store bought ones that had been grilled. Would I go back, sadly not.

    Usually excellent service but the owner appears to be struggling to keep the doors open on Monday and Tuesday. Service is definitely hit and miss on those evenings. The steak is excellent, definitely a personal favourite. If you are heading down for after work drinks, it’s a great spot but can be a bit noisy. For a family or special dinner, I would recommend Thursday to Saturday. Get in early and sit down by the kitchen if you get cold. It’s away from the bar so a little quieter.

    Nice place for hangout. Food is good, drinks are good, presentation is appealing. Prices are at higher side. The main thing I loved about this is the location. Its just beside the davenport ferry terminal. After having few drinks and lunch, we had a lovely walk near around. It was a great day.

    I have never seen someone try to roll a smaller scoop of ice cream. I paid 6$ for a single scoop and it was so obvious that the worker was trying to be as stingy as he could. He would role a scoop and then only take bits of it, noticeably trying to make it smaller. Sad.

    Nice place with a great view. But the service isn't the best 🥲

    Never disappoints with the level of service to the quality of the food & cocktails. Had there big breakfast & the eggs was cooked to my exact liking. Left satisfied & the view/ambiance is unmatched.

    Went there for the first time with my pals and the food was amazing!! I enjoyed the lamb so much. The spices, the meat, everything! You wouldn’t believe me if I said cranberry jam was perfect to be pizza topping!

    We read the reviews before coming to this place and we did not disappoint. We ordered a Souvlaki open wrap with fried chicken and a Fattouch salad with Chicken skewer. We also ordered a Turkish tea and coffee. The food and drinks were amazing. We loved the view and atmosphere.

  • 5/5 martin d. 2 years ago on Google
    Very surprised. On the wharf with water views both sides. Food is Turkish inspired in all the best ways. Including the coffee! The cocktails are good enough to just come for those. Grab a ferry from the auckland cbd or anywhere that does a run to Devonport wharf, grab a platter a drink and ferry back :). Will be back. Do not forget Devonport is here ! Just avoid lake road and take a ferry.

    Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. We went on the public holiday to have lunch, and it was crowded. Waiting times a bit longer than usual, but since we weren't in a hurry, it was all good and the food always worth waiting for. It might be a good idea to book in advance to get a good spot.

    An excellent Restaurant for a quick wine/beer or for dinner. The staff were very attentive to our groups needs (and we did order a lot of food & drinkies!) I would definitely recommend this gorgeous place & would love to go back again in the future.

    We had our Valentine’s Day dinner here with shared small plates and dessert. The plates were generously portioned and delicious. Staff were very attentive and the location was just right. There is plenty of space on each table so no one was too close. A very pleasant place to have a relaxing meal.

  • 5/5 Darren P. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a very nice time here, the location is great, the ambience staff and vibe fit the place so well. We ordered a variety of food to meet our needs and it was executed perfectly, the portions were satisfying and the food was absolutely delicious. 11/10 would recommend, most definitely will come back for seconds

🫤 Not a fan. I couldn’t drink the cocktail, it was cloying and unbalanced. We also received our food first and waited well over 5 minutes for drinks - they should really hold the food until you have your drinks with you. No one wants to stare at expensive small bites going cold while you await a bever...
