269 Parnell — Local services in Waitematā

food was so mid and over expensive it was honestly kinda sad. we paid $17 for 2 deep fried shrimp, 2 deep fried scallops, 2 thumb sized pieces of some other seafood. we also paid like $30 plus for bigger dishes and every single time the quality left so much more to be desired. we also got 3 tiny tacos for $24 and they were soggy (the shell was literally breaking apart) and the flavour was so overpowering because the only thing balancing the flavour of the birria was a small helping of slaw. like hello ?? where is the cheese ? oh right. that costs like a trillion dollars extra.

the only thing that was good was the vibes but why does this seem to take precedent over the food ? like at that point just rebrand as a plaza with seats and take out the food...

Perfect spot for a summers day! I really feel like parnell needed a new vibe, something different, something exciting and this could be it! It is beautiful sitting out in the sun, with a cocktail and delicious Mediterranean food, for a moment you feel transported to an extoic holiday, far away from the grey streets of auckland.

Being a new opening I expect it will be better with each visit and I cannot wait to see what else is in store. Staff were lovely, one of the owners came over to introduce himself by the bar, it felt really friendly and welcoming. I wish you all the best and will be back...

Great concept but there is a lack of great food. Love the presentation just wish there were more seats especially at the back where there is room but just a couple of big tables.

Again love the concept and I am certain it will get better and better.
