The food was great. Pizza tasty. Fries crunchy. Onion rings perfect. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Pity the coffee machine broke down. However, the food, cheeky waitress, and warm ambiance more than made up for it. I do recommend this place. 2nd visit to the Zookeeper's Son with #fastfoodfriday and #foodiebumz crew Fri 29th September. Was told after our order was taken that they had only 1 Sirloin as we wanted two. No prob. An extra chicken schnitzel was ordered. Krispy Korean ribs were tender and falling off the bones. Sauce was a bit too rich. However, it was still tasty. Wings are 99c on Fridays, so a dozen of them went down well. Pank crumbed Scallop bites delicious. Chicken schnitzels with chips and salad, Sirloin and nachos well received by the crew. Desserts Apple and Rhubarb crumble Citrus Cheesecake and chocolate Brownie slice. Cheesecake base could've been more crumbly not soggy. Citrus taste was refreshing. Wait staff smiling and helpful. Still can't believe there was only one Sirloin steak at the start of a dinner shift. Anyhoo nice job Zookeeper's Son. 7/10 coconuts 🥥 on the island scale. 👌🤙

I planned a special outing for my family/ extended family. Why? Because we are descendants of John James Boyd. The JJ Boyd standing in the pic on the wall is my Great Grandfather. Seated is my Great Great Grandfather. My maiden name is Boyd. 5 of our group came from Whangarei. (Included 3 kids) 3 from Auckland 2 from Taranaki 1 from Sydney 1 from Ireland. Food was pricey and average tasting (I had salt and pepper squid) Waitress was lovely, but timid. I spoke with the Bar Manager Lisa and told her that we were direct descendants of JJ Boyd. Lisa didn't care, wasn't engaging, so I didn't continue chatting with her (there were very few people in the establishment at the time we went) Each time I looked over to the bar area, Lisa seemed to be angrily staring at our group. We were not loud. The children were well behaved. We didn't feel welcome. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again.

Had my son's surprise 21st birthday celebration upstairs in the Rooftop Bar recently, Lisa was very helpful & great to deal with when booking our event. The staff working that night did an outstanding job as the venue was quite busy(being a Friday). The rooftop space was clean, private & large enough for our 80+ guests & a photobooth setup. Thank you to the awesome bar staff - Stella, Fredelle, the wonderful May & all the security staff, a huge thank you to the Chefs/Kitchen staff as the food was amazing & delicious! (We chose platters from the sharing menu & option3 from the Feasting Menu) salads were fresh, roast meats were tender, moist. Platters and food was well presented & large servings/portions! My son, family, & friends enjoyed a wonderful, safe, fun, & memorable night!

My friend and I decided to get the platter to share so we could try a bit of everything (I'm also on a low carb/keto diet so it was a good meaty option with some vege where my friend could eat the breads etc.) It looked super vibrant and exciting when it was served. The chicken was nice and crispy. Ribs were a bit tougher than I would've expected, wasnt tender/soft so it took a bit to eat it all off the bone. Loved everything else on there. Wish there was a bit more of the brocolini though. Personally I think it was a bit steep in price (over $50), But we split the cost so it was ok . We also had a long island iced tea (made with coke zero) each which was delish

My daughter celebrated her 5th birthday party at this restaurant last week (14th March) - what an amazing team they have!!. Preeti went an extra mile in helping us booked the venue and in organising our food menu.. It was indeed hassle free. Also the staff who looked after us during the event was awesome, (I think her name is Sian) she is very helpful and looked after our guests very well and made sure that the food was served on time. Our guests really love the Rooftop Bar, they are impressed how beautiful that area is and they enjoyed the food. The food were delicious and cooked beautifully.. My daughter had an amazing birthday! Thanks to the team..
