The Pavilion Sports Bar & Eatery — Restaurant in Napier

Very average food and service, particularly the egg plant main dish, very small for the cost and the balance of the dish is very wrong, too much vinegar with the beetroot and capsicum chuneys that just over power the whole dish and hardly any eggplant or lemon labneh needed more fresh ingredients less chuneys. ,also nothing to dry hands on in the toilet. The children shared a ice cream sundae which they did put on 2 little side plates but bowls would of been better to scope up the ice cream especially for little hands. A bit of training for staff on how to carry plates so the sauce doesn't run off the plate when walking to table, waiter was friendly but didn't know what the fish of the day was or pasta. Will be only going to Hastings Three wise birds from now on...

Don't waste your money here!

they got our drinks order wrong despite ordering it online. Kids cheese burger was dry and bland with no veggies either in the burger or on the side. Steaks were very over cooked and had to be sent back. Food was burne - It was really obvious with the (tasteless) nachos too, but they were served to us anyway. We had chicken nachoes and the chicken was drowned in wholegrain mustard, which wasnt specified on the menu, and my hubby hates, so they tasted quite unpleasant. The lamb confit was also burned, but fortunately it tasted OK...unlike the poor...

Was in Napier for business and went to the Pavillion the birds, as it was next door to where I was staying. Ordered the bbq bourbon chicken wings as a starter and a sirloin steak medium rare. The wings came out really quick, which I thought was quite fast. Bit into the first wing and it was pink and bloody! The waitress came over to check how my starter was, so I showed her, the response I got was “ that’s not good “. The steak came out and it was well done, which I told her it’s not what I ordered. The waitress nor the chef came over to apologise. Absolutely disgusting food...
