Albert's Post Bar and Eatery — Restaurant in Albert-Eden

What an awesome wee place! Friendly staff right from the start and a lit fire was a warm welcome too. Drinks are at a reasonable price, all served with a smile. Recommendations were offered by the very friendly team member and water delivered but only after our second wine. Water from the start is always a nice touch as many people drive and are conscious in that regard. Food we had was nice, with the beef stew looking like a nice hearty meal for a cold winters evening. I think I would have preferred my meal a little hotter (temperature) but that’s a personal preference. Blankets are offered for all patrons to keep warm which is another nice touch. Music was pleasant and loud enough to be heard but not over powering. Personally I thought, $12 for the popcorn chicken (5 pieces) was a tad overpriced. As a local here is nice to discover a watering hole within walking distance that won’t cost and arm and a leg. All in all - A nice experience, I would recommend and...

On both occasions, we noticed that on arrival no waiters/waitress came to serve us water or give us our menus after we were seated. We had to wait for a while until someone came to get our order. The second time we came, our orders were forgotten (we understood that it was getting busy during this period). The staff were apologetic and got to our orders straight away. Still...

Ok so far I've only been there once. I'll go back again and edit this if it's warranted. Mediocre pizza cooked by chefs who most probably didn't grow up on this food. No love. Tasted ok and forgettable. Wine list isn't great but there are at least regions of NZ represented outside of Marlborough. Atmosphere: a little too much in the way of overhead, direct lighting and some awful blue neons that sucked away any chance of ambience nearby. Overall? A fail. But a mild fail. Will go again next time I can't be bothered getting out of my ugh boots and am hungry. Also their smallest table is beyond...
