Hi-Fri Seafood Kitchen — Restaurant in North Island

Read the reviews here on Google Reviews and was just as described. This is a new updated restaurant a great addition to the town. The highlight was the nostalgic old school fish and chips- served on a metal tray lined with a piece of paper (designed to look like vintage newspaper), accompanied with a slice of soft bread and butter, coleslaw, sweet condensed milk dipping sauce and the usual fish and chips tangy white sauce. The dish was perfectly battered and fried and was not oily or heavy. The restaurant Interior decor is simple, tastefully done with a nod to the Art Deco architecture. Walls are adorned with photos, pictures and a painting related to the locations history and fishing community.

Front of house staff Myron and Charlotte were both so attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the local area. Myron was kind enough to talk to us about the history of the business which was really interesting and definitely a step above usual customer service. 10 points to the Chef and to Myron and his team, we will definitely come...

We also met the restaurant owner, Victor, and chatted for a while. He is obviously totally passionate about his business and it shows in the decor, staff and quality of meals. This is a wonderful place if you are a fish lover and l highly recommend you go there. Probably best to make a reservation especially at busy times, and be aware they close...
