πŸ‘πŸ‘ A bit upmarket. Quiet and the food was delicious & well presented. It was a bit cold, but after talking to the staff, they turned the temperature up a bit, which was great. Staff were fantastic and good parking right outside. Quite pricey, but we were there on a deal, which made it good value.

    Another outstanding dining experience at Town Tonic, Constellation Drive. Recently came in for brunch with a friend. We were so impressed by the overall experience...first class food which was every bit as delicious as it was visually stunning, amazing hospitality and front of house staff, beautiful decor and outlook. For our second visit we booked a three course dining experience for two...once again, our meal was an absolute delight from beginning to end. Will most definitely be recommending to everyone we know.

    Upgrade from coffee club. The food compared to most cafes is def top in the current market. Don’t often focus on the flavours usually at a cafe, but here you can notice the difference in quality. Everything is what you expect, clean tidy friendly tables chairs, the normal. But when it comes to the food it’s great. Came here on 1st table and had a blast. Will be back again πŸ‘πŸ» Service: 4/5 Presentation: 4/5 Food Quality: 5/5 Food Quantity: 5/5 Environment: 4/5 Price per person: $20-$40

    Excellent brunch here this morning. We were seated right away due to having a booking and it being relatively empty that time of the morning. The decor was clean , comfortable and had a good variety of seating options. The wait staff were friendly and provided great service. I liked that there were a few vegan options and even a couple vegan dessert options which isn't common. The fresh juice was delicious, as was the soy latte with caramel shot. Our meals were prepared quickly and they arrived well presented. My favourite was the vegan sticky date pudding which was light and moist and yummy. I wasn't sure how the banana and passion would pair but it was just right and the cashew cream on chocolate crumb topped it off. I wouldn't call the Tofu Bruschetta 'crispy' but the flavours worked well together and I'm glad I chose that as my main. My 11yr old decided on a medley of kids meals - Chicken & Hash, Junior French Toast and Chocolate Toast. I was impressed as it was clear to see the same effort and care had been given to the kids meals as the other menu items so anyone who isn't up to a full meal would be more than satisfied with these smaller options. The hash sticks were delicious and she loved the fried chicken as well. She preferred the French Toast over the chocolate toast but both were good in her opinion. All in all an enjoyable time, good sounds and chill atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

    Had to wait for my car to be serviced so dropped in for an early breakfast. Wonderful friendly welcome and superb coffee. The big breakfast was fantastic. Perfect eggs. Loved the hash sticks and the bacon is seriously the best. Thick sliced and how it’s supposed to be. 5 stars.

    Amazing 🀩 We went for dinner and it was great! Ambience: The place was quite quiet, so it felt very nice and intimate. The area was very clean and the tables were spacious. It gives a quite classy vibe overall. Perfect for a small or intimate celebration within the North Shore Food and Drinks: The drinks were great. We all had cocktails and we all liked each one. The food was also really good. The price was a little steep, but for the thought and care they put into the food, it was understandable. We did book on first table to get a discount though, which was really helpful. Staff: The staff were super good. Service was speedy. They were super polite. They ensured that everything was clean and tide. Even the chefs looked like they were having a good night.

    Wonderful food!!! It was extremely empty on a Wednesday night and the entire restaurant only had 2-3 tables occupied. The staff was friendly. I forgot that I had a dentist’s appointment before dinner and had my entire mouth numbed beforehand, but everything was so tender and delicious still! As you can see, the presentation was great. The prices are high because the food tastes so good :) Best restaurant food in a while. Used the FirstTable voucher for a 50% off and paid around $94 in the end (our two cheap drinks, juice and coffee, are possibly full price? Dunno). Had two entrees, two mains, one dessert, two drinks to share between father and daughter :)) and was perfectly satiated and not too full.

    I booked a table for three people on a Friday night to celebrate one of my girls' 21st Birthday. We entered the restaurant. It gave us a calm and contemporary feel ambience. The staff were welcoming and looked after our dining experience. The staff were accommodating. Which gave us a wow factor at the end by providing a dessert with a written message as part of the celebration. The food was tantalising on my palate, the presentation was top-notch, and the flavours were similar to tastes where you can find it in Ponsonby or Parnell. Yes, this restaurant is located in Rosedale with good parking space, and the location is a hidden gem for diners to explore. We truly enjoyed our dining experience, a humble yet lavish extra ordinare that ended our night well. Fabulous and definitely recommend for members of the public to give it ago. Well Done, Town Tonic

    We recently had the pleasure of having lunch at TownTonic in Auckland, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. The menu offered a variety of delectable options, ensuring there was something to satisfy every palate. We started our meal with the egg Benedict featuring cured salmon, a combination that proved to be a delightful flavor pairing. The oat fried chicken had a satisfying crunch, although it was slightly dry for our liking. The grilled halloumi and mushrooms added a savory element to the meal, while the sausages and beef burger satisfied our cravings for a heartier option. The curly fries were a tasty and addictive accompaniment. The French toast was a sweet treat, perfectly indulgent and satisfying. For dessert, we were treated to the Divine Caramel and Black Forest Crumble. Both desserts were heavenly, showcasing the chef's mastery of flavors and textures. They provided a fitting conclusion to our meal. When it came to beverages, the Affogato, Caramel Latte, Pineapple Juice, and iced latte all exceeded our expectations. Each drink was expertly prepared, with the Affogato serving as a particularly delightful combination of coffee and gelato. TownTonic's environment adds to its charm, as it is nestled in an industrial area with its own courtyard. This unique setting creates a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely lunch. The service we received was attentive and friendly, enhancing our overall dining experience. The staff was accommodating and knowledgeable, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. While the fried chicken was slightly dry, everything else we tried at TownTonic was superb. The overall quality of the food, combined with the pleasant environment and excellent service, makes this restaurant a great choice for a memorable lunch in Auckland. I would certainly recommend TownTonic to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience.

    Nice place. The drinks however were awesome, I truly enjoyed the drinks. But unfortunately, the food wasn’t great. I ordered beef ribeye. My plate wasn’t really good. It was way too well done and dry. Update: as someone from the restaurant called my friend who reserved a table for us and said my review was unfair,so here is more information. Hopefully it helps the restaurant to improve their service and the readers to decide. We reserved a table for 6 adults and 4 kids. The kids were happy as they could play with each other and have fun. There was a light music playing in the background which I personally liked. Not too loud, not too low, just enough for everyone to enjoy the night. We ordered (for my family) chicken nuggets (for the kid), a bread platter, 3 drinks, mushroom ravioli and beef ribeyes. As stated before, my plate was way too cooked, so it was hard to chew, no greens in the plate whatsoever, not enough sauce to help chewing the hard meat. I forgot to tell the waiter how I wanted my meat cooked and he didn’t ask me either. The other friends’ portions were extremely small for the quality and price. The ravioli, was just OK. Again, the portion was way too small. The break platter, everyone around the table agreed that the bread isn’t freshly made in the restaurant. Just to make it clear, everyone was still hungry when we left the restaurant, to the point that our friends came to our place and we ate the second dinner! I paid $192 only for the two of and our kid, so the expectation is high. All and all, our experience was just average, so 3 stars.

    Town Tonic Auckland was great. Had Eggs Benedict with bacon, which was lovely. Best Eggs Benedict I've had in a while and just the right portion so that you're left full but not over-full. Cappuccino was perfect temperature and well made. Service was excellent and staff were friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a visit. Can't wait to try their dinner menu as well!

    Visited Town Tonic on a casual Friday for an early lunch. All staff were very friendly even the chef in the kitchen seems to be smiling at patrons. Interior and atmosphere were very pleasant, much warmer and cozier than what it looks like from outside. I think all the glasses and the building exterior gives a bit of darker feel when you see them while on the road but when you step inside, it's very bright and welcoming. Food was great, I had open steak sandwich which was on par with any other nice cafes. My wife had the fush curry which had great spices and nice firm texture on the fish. Deserts were both good and they weren't overly sweet which we both enjoyed. I would've enjoyed a bit softer texture on my brulee but was still good. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Note, if you are using the carpark, please validate your parking by using the ipad at the entrace to avoid parking fees!

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Took our daughter for a birthday lunch and the food was great as always. I do find though that when it's busy the service is a bit lacking, especially when you've finished and maybe want a desert or coffee....you have to try and get someone's attention. But otherwise great
