Regatta Bar And Eatery — Restaurant in Devonport-Takapuna

Never again for a meal. We could have got better fish n chips without the overcooked batter, and over inflated price from a Chinese takeway. Too much batter and very little fish. The chips were just as bad. They were dry and tasteless and yes we could have got better again without the heavy price tag. The Duck was just as bad with its bland taste. We know what Duck taste like as we are foodies. The cost was ridiculously high again for the tasteless morsel we received. The Oysters were overcooked with too much batter again and it left a burnt taste in our mouth. The Korean Chicken Wings was a disappointment too. Service was nothing to shout about as we were kept waiting for drinks and it was hard getting anyones attention. It was our daughter's 21st birthday dinner and we felt ripped off when we could have got the same at a takeaway bar for less the cost. Not sure what has changed but it was our first time and first impression. We don't mind paying for quality but this wasn't even close. We felt sad as it was meant to be a memorable occasion for us. The only dish that was spared was Brocolli which tasted like Brocolli. We weren't asked how our meals were which was unusual for a top end restaurant. The waitresses didn't seem too bothered. Hope this honest feedback improves your...

Great spot for dining by the beach view. Nice interior. I went on Sunday lunch with no booking made and the restaurant was already fully packed. Everyone looked really nice to chill outside in the nice weather. Luckily there were some places available at the backyard so me & my boyfriend could get some lunch (Unfortunately the backyard was smoking zone). The staffs were very friendly but the foods were looking fancy, tasted quiet average overall. Oysters as a starter, very fresh & good. I had a seafood risotto that had no taste compared to what it looks like.. well presented though.. i wouldnt try this dish again. Steaks for my bf, ordered rare and served as medium. After we were not keen for the dessert but since the staff strongly recommended their dessert so we just took one. He was not lying. The pear pistachio dessert was really great! Everything was slow because we sat at the back. It took really long time to get served. Had to stay almost 4hrs to finish what we ordered.. we did not complain because they must have been busy too.. I would prefer to come back for drinks or light...

I saw them on First Table and I thought me & partner would give it a try. My eggplant dish was amazing as well as the creme brulé we had for dessert but the steak my partner ordered was over cooked. We ordered chips and it was lovely (nice, toasted & crispy) then the steak & chips dish came and we were puzzled that the chips that came w it was soggy. The service was a fail too, our waitress gave us a menu and walked away without saying anything, checked at the beginning of the meal & never came back, always nowhere to be found (and saw her chatting with the kitchen & other staff) we had to walk around to find someone if we needed anything, Not to mention when I politely asked someone (lady at the front who takes payments) if i can have a take away box, she did not let me finish and told me the exit is thru the front door! I was confused so i asked again and she did not let me finish again and said the same thing like im stupid & she's asking me to leave! I dont know if they just hired anyone but definely trainings on customer service should...
