First Choice Restaurant — Restaurant in North Island

First choice, it should be called last choice, because this is the last time I will ever go there. I'll start with a good point, the only good point, the waitress was lovely, kudos to her, service with a smile they always say. I ordered a special soup where she went out of her way to exclude ingredients which I can't eat (vegetarian here). But then it really went downhill from there. Ordered an item off chefs recommendations, stuffed fried eggplant, was pretty excited. Got my soup as a small, now when one says small one pictures a normal sized bowl.......boy was my flame extinguished fast, this bowl was the size of a teacup.....cause that was going to fill me up, $4 worth whatever...... I can get a whole burger for less than that.

I reiterated at least 10 times that I cannot eat meat, I....can NOT eat meat.

If they could better train their staff and make them more knowledgeable of the menu that would be great too. One star cause the waitress was nice, all the rest of the stars.....well they stayed in the sky, where...

Forst choice used to be one of my favorite restaurants, I was absolutely disgusted that my food tasted like dishwasher liquid and smelt like vinegar, I started eating a bit of it and spat it out, my daughter tried it and also spat it out!!! I called the manager over and the dish was remade! He apologized but gave me an annoyed look! The next meal looked ok, then underneath the same taste, I got ut to go and walked out. I'm getting the food tested! I was appalled, I will never go back and will never recommend this...

Me and my family loves this place. Cheap and affordable and decent meal to top it off. We always order to much but our lovely waitresses gave us a doggy bag we can take home. My only complaint is depending on the time you've book your table parking not fun to look for. We always try and get there after peek hr or just when everyone going home. Lovely atmosphere. Also when we had our mum birthday there they were nice enough to hold our mum cake in there little fridge untill we...
