Nice meal in friendly atmosphere
Really friendly place raffle tickets Wednesday night drinks
It took 40 minutes for the food to come. The food is not good as well. The shrimp linguine tasted like it was microwaved.
MoreLovely setting, the seafood linguine was nice in flavor, quantity was pathetic for a price of $29.00 with 3 small mussels, 2 small prawn, 1 piece of crab meat with flavored pasta in a soup bowl, discusting for a main course meal.Menu has gone backwards from when I was a member 2 1/2 years ago.
MoreMain course was disappointing salmon overcooked, skin not crispy.
Great food and location with outstanding views over the harbor.
Great food but a poor entrance to Tauranga Port.Waiting staff seem abundant however the service is very poor. This is our second visit here in 2 months and both times we found the staff to be inadequate. Arriving today at 12.30pm one would expect that the specials board would be ready to go. We questioned which specials to go by as the piece of paper clipped to the main menu differed from the specials board. We were told that they hadnt got to the specials board as yet and to go by the piece of paper. Having been a Maître d in the past I know that the specials board should be up to date prior to the restaurant opening. They confuse meals and run around table by table questioning if this is your meal. No one stops by to ask if everything is alright. Drinks ordered at the bar are placed down all over the bar and not in front of the person ordering, causing confusion and doubling up on drinks. The menus are scruffy and not up to standard of such a lovely restaurant. Plates are left in front of you until we were almost ready to leave. For the amount of waiting staff, the service should be spot on.I feel this is not a classy place to dine which is a shame as it would be the first port of call for tourists when the cruise ships come in.Cut down on your staff and train them properly.
MoreWe had the seafood chowder and garlic bread for lunch..so delicious!
Very nice lunch, excellent staff thanks for a very enjoyable time.Keep up the great work.Will return
MoreFood was overpriced 29.00 for a piece of fish and a few chips.we wont be back
Very nice fish but burger could have been better, bun and lettuce very sad. Plenty of chips which were lovely.
MorePerfect place to watch the world go by and the kids busting a few menus off the wharf.The Te Kouma Bay oyters are a delicious discovery salty and sweet they give Bluffies a serious run for their money especially at $3 each !Well priced and tasty.Check out the game fishing club records on the wall and tropy cabinet some good records held by the club.
MoreI really enjoyed the food and the view
Great spot and views. You could moor your boat easily and keep an eye on it. People fishing were catching often.. mostly Kawhai.
MoreIm not usually one to rant but this deserved it.Been going here for 3 yrs, not a member so was always happy to pay the non-member price as we liked the setting, the food etc.All of a sudden we were told we are not allowed to buy any drinks as a non-member and following that our experience was fairly hostile. We felt unwelcome and almost like they had done us a favor to allow us to step foot into the building.The food on this occasion was below average, burgers were burnt, tasted like nothing and were horribly dry.On top of all of that, we were welcomed to the venue with one staff member smoking at the entrance way, inviting my children to taste 2nd hand smoke where we couldnt avoid it.Would not recommend anymore as this left a very sour taste in my mouth when I left.
MoreWaitress Lucia was such an awesome hostess made us feel very welcome and cared for. An excellent experience well be back.
MoreBooked with group of 10 for 1230pm. Covid check in. Orders taken on time and all meals served not much later. We sat with a full view of the Mount and Pilot Bay. Lots of people using the wharf for recreation. Thoroughly enjoyable. Great cooking by the way and the beer was cold........will be back....
MoreGreat customer service and amazing food. Kumara fries with Aioli rival that of BurgerFuel so its a good alternative.Ill remember to take photos next time.
MoreVery honoured to be allowed to give our brother a great sendoff at this amazing venue. Staff were awesome and friendly
MoreThe menu is getting pricey, pretty much the same as a regular restaurant.Great location and the staff work hard.
MoreThe food, the service, the location... all perfect! Look forward to my next visit.
MoreAttended a Thursday quiz night. Good mixed crowd, pretty packed, very wide assortment of questions (by Believe It Or Not). A number of difficulties with the audio system made it difficult to hear, and 2 hours seems a bit long, but was otherwise a good time.
MoreAmazing view of the mount, enough parking for me and my friends. Love the food and staff 😊🤗
MoreBeautiful location, food was amazing, however the waitress Angela was extremely rude and unwelcoming and turned what could’ve been a great night sour
MoreExcellent service, Excellent food, on the day we were there, there was some good entertainment with good music. Staff was very prompt and efficient, there was this one Staff member she was darting around tending to a everyone during a very busy Sunday lunch rush 👍👍
MoreBrought up in the area. You couldnt wish to have a more welcoming club to visit. FANTASTIC outlook over Pilot Bay, great hospitality, and fantastic food and service. Visitors - truly welcome.Enjoy. I know you will.
MoreWe where here for a private ofter funeral function the service was great their was good food and good atmosphere with a ice day and plenty of hurber views.
MoreYeah, bloody good! Great spot, reasonably priced drinks, great food.Had the fried chicken, delicious.Fantastic deck up top, watch a working port, good times!
MoreGreat company awesome meals looking forward to joining
We enjoyed our Tuesday night dinner here. We tried the smaller chilli prawn, & pork belly roti meals, the Samoan raw fish & fried chicken entrees, kids fish n chips, plus apple pie & lemon meringue dessert. Food was really tasty and Staff were friendly and efficient. We arrived during their quiz night which was fun to watch while trying to guess the answers. We would definitely come back here.
MoreCannot beat the view here. Good selection on the menu. Family friendly. Pizza was so good. Little bit of basil on my magherita pizza would of secured the 5th star Im sure
MoreReally nice atmosphere. Great views. Delicious food. Friendly service.
Older style setting, great service with a smile.Came with a group of eight without having booked, meals all came at the same time, very enjoyable.Right at the waterfront with easy parking.
MoreGreat company, awesome views. my meal was delicious. thank you to the friendly Staff.
MoreVisited here during alert level 2 but there was no table service operating so had to go and queue to order meals. We waited over an hour for our meals which were awful. My partner had the crumbled fish meal for $28 which consisted of one very processed piece of fish which looked like it came from a cardboard box. I had the duck spring rolls ( $15 for 2 tiny rollsand an undercooked pumpkin salad ($8)Certainly wont be dining here again
MoreCompletely underrated location right on beautiful Pilot bay with 5 star views to the Mount. Food was very good. Find your way to the upstairs balcony for the best views and tables on the verandah. Alcohol only available if youre a member.
MoreExcellent food, drink, service and location.
A pleasant private club on the Pilot Bay waterfront overlooking the inner harbour. Great ambience. Nice staff and services during my visit and reasonable bar - food prices, but food is "fast food" style (greasies). One doesnt have to sign in or be an affiliate member of another club to use these premises... bonus! Recommended...
MoreWe got 2 large plates - the pork belly large main and the fish large main. For the amount you paid for the meal the food was less then satisfactory. The pork belly was extremely dry and the fish was over cooked so much it was curling over itself. For each main they were $30+ each and what we recieved I would not pay $20 for. The pizza was nice and the kids meals seemed ok but could not get past the main meals. Definately will not be back.
MoreThe seafood dishes seemed satisfactory to those at my table who ordered however my burger was rather terrible. Was warm (closer to coldand was heavily dripping with oil/liquid. I couldn’t eat my final 3rd of the burger because it was so soggy. Wasn’t great at all.
MoreVisited the club restaurant recently very disappointing food. Chose the fish and chips. Tiny portion of fish accompanied by a meagre portion of chips. A generous amount of broccoli which was undercooked and cold. For the price it was not good value.
MoreGreat place to have dinner with a view of the mount! The menu is a little more sophisticated than you would expect too. Im always happy with the food here.
MoreMt Maunganui is the best place in the world!...and the view from the MOSC is superb 🌞
MoreLovely food served here. Remember, you MUST be a member of their group to dine in, but their Fish & Chips and Ice Cream stand here is perfect for an evening to watch the cruise ships leave or if you are just in need of a bite to eat
MoreGreat view, friendly service. We had the seafood platter ($40which was enjoyable and tasty.
MoreLunch on a Tuesday. Nice views over the water. Had a small plate of baby back pork ribs. Great value very tasty and plenty of meat falling of the boneReasonable selection of beers and wines. Overall a good experience.
MoreWhat a find. Excellent venue for a function. Upstairs has sensational uninterrupted views to the mount and tauranga. Huge party deck . Food is very good and very well priced. Drinks are the cheapest in town . Highly recommended for a great night out or function.
MoreExcellent service, lovely menu, excellent quality food, perfectly cooked, fast, efficient, all meals out together, good prices and beautiful location. Not one hiccup from booking to leaving. Thank you for a lovely experience, well be back.
MoreWent there for a work Christmas function. Food was great but service was poor. They had too many parties to serve and they ran out of plates and cutlery for desert. Seems strange to serve desert without anything to eat it with. I guess they need better management to deal with organising large catering.
MoreWe were in the area around dinner on a Sunday night. A lot of places were closed and this had reviews. They were pretty welcoming and the view was really good. The kids meals were pretty big and the ribs were huge. A great night had by all.
