I have come here many times over the last few years. The food varies in quality - some days its fantastic, some days merely passable. But it is worth coming back again and again because of the warm, friendly, relaxed and funky atmosphere. It's open late, plays great music, and has room for large and small parties alike. Especially recommended... More

I took a friend of mine to dinner here for his birthday and the service was lacking a little. We had the market fish on a bed of hummus and I had the garlic prawns as a starter. The food was great - almost amazing. The $40 litre of sangria was not so great. I was extremely disappointed in it... More

Food was good. But I really hate when a place has no table service but neglect to tell you. I was only the fourth table here and there were 5 staff doing nothing but walking past and ignoring me. It's gets a bit awkward. Food was great but salt pepper etc and once again I had to wait till a... More

Fast service! It took less than 15 minutes to get all the tapas after we ordered at the bar. The staff was friendly as well. The Sundried Tomato and Rosemary Dip was excellent!

Right in the heart of Auckland City this bar/restaurant/cafe is a handy place to meet or just drop in for food and/or a drink. The slightly dishevelled decor provides a great ambience which along with the range of food options gives an exotic/European feel excellent for relaxing from the city hassle. Does not pretend to be fine dining but delivers... More

Tucked away down Durham St across Queen St from Citylife Hotel is the Mezze Bar. The Tapas there are delicious. The prices are very reasonable. Never heard a Cuba Libra (bacardi, coke and splash of lime) being called a cocktail before but that is the only thing I could find wrong with this restaurant.

I wrote a great comment about the Mezze Bar when I discovered that place several months ago. I was loving the ambiance and the music so much that I used to go there at least 3 or 4 times a week... Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed with the food once and it happened again a few days later so I... More

OK all you Coeliacs out there, listen up good.... This place has an extensive GLUTEN FREE MENU and GLUTEN FREE BEER! It also happens to have great, tasty, reasonably priced food and a warm, welcoming environment. I visit here every trip to Auckland and will continue to do so. Love it

The food was overpriced for what it was - but a nice venue for drinks. Service can be slow, and the day we went for lunch they seemed to struggle with a larger group.
