The Don Milford — Restaurant in Devonport-Takapuna

Disappointed. The servers were polite, but the overall service felt unpolished. One server attempted to take our plate before we were finished, which was unexpected and a bit awkward.

With the prices they charge, I would expect a more refined dining experience where space and privacy are considered, and the staff is better trained in service etiquette. And the food... very overrated....

Extremely disappointing. Will not bother returning, go across the road to ...

Many Sushi shop in town are owned by Korean. But that’s just me when it comes to food I like the idea of tasting authentic. I give 4 star for this restaurant because of the service and environment not the food. I don’t think I...
