. We have always celebrated our anniversary by finding somewhere extra special to go. We had heard such good feedback about Mount Bistro but sadly they take the prize for being the worst anniversary dinner in 32 years. The service was poor. Our order was lost but no one bothered to inform us of this. After an hours wait for... More

We had a very enjoyable evening with nice, attentive staff and very good food. The atmosphere could be more attractive and interesting, but the food was well cooked and presented

Above sounds like a movie title but truly end product on an international scale nothing to write home about.Much theatre masks mediocre food which is overpriced .Maitre d arrogant and condescending..... In summary ,restaurant that may impress locals but won't fool international travelers

Managed to get a table on a very busy night as NZ surf Nationals were on - So glad we did Service excellent with very knowledgeable staff on all aspects of their menu - When the waiter wasn't too sure on a particular food wine match he was comfortable to admit it and refer to the chef for the best...

We booked a table which secured us a nice position on the 'inside' balcony with Mt views - it is a lovely setting even if its all closed in. Unfortunately everything else is pretty forgettable. The waitress (young and inexperienced) had zero personality, offered... More

This is my 2nd visit to Mount Bistro and have to say both visits have been fantastic. Different company this time and once again everyone present really did think that the food was amazing. Its always a hard choice as the menu has so many good choices, 2 of us had the Sauce-n-ray(?) seafood skewer - I wont spoil this... More

The much acclaimed Mount Bistro has wonderful food, it's true. The oysters were incredible, the tarakihi, gorgeously fresh and hugely portioned. The dessert platter was varied, interesting and almost evaporated it was so enjoyed. Great NZ wine list also. However, the service and atmosphere was just pitiful. Our waiter forgot our orders twice (not sure if he was intoxicated) and... More
