We were the only ones here at lunchtime and it was divine! Great service, good beers! I ordered the primavera pizza which was outstanding and my husband ordered the prawn tacos. Loved them both! The pizza was really lovely, the pesto and lemon ricotta added so much flavor. Yum!!

After reading mostly good reviews my wife and I decided to give this place a try while staying in the area. At first glance the menu seemed a little pricey but usually with high pricing comes high quality. Unfortunately the prices did not match the quality 😞 For entree we got the mussels ($27) because the oysters were not available and a margarita pizza ($25) The mussels tasted ok but they were not debearded and the sauce lacked any texture, way too watery. For $27 i expected more. The margarita pizza was ok but again lacked any wow factor. For the main i got the Lamb Rump ($43) and she got the Prawn n Chorizo pasta ($34). My lamb was beautifully cooked and paired well with the Jus. The harrisa carrots and mushy peas on their own were ok but did not go very well together with the rest of the dish. Lacked cohesion. The Prawn and chorizo pasta was nice but for $34 lacked any memoriable experience apart from the price, a little bland. The king prawn on top was a nice addition though and visually looked good. All in all if the price wasn't so high it would of been ok but charging those prices you need to meet a mark and unfortunately they didn't. I'd definitely be driving into the township next time. Great service though, very good in that department 👍🏽 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $80–90 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

They used to make my favourite Pizza in NZ, the Green Orbit. Unfortunately it has been replaced with something else which is not great. But I have tried several dishes here and it has always been good taste and good quality. We visit this restaurant often and have always had good experience. Service is good and staff are friendly. Sometimes it gets packed and the service might be slow, don't get mad at them as they are very popular and they really do their best. It's easily one of my favourite locals.

Im thinking that this just happened to be a bad night as we had to wait for our food for a very long time. I had the roast pumpkin meal which I didn’t enjoy at all and would not recommend. My partner had the duck which he would rate 7 out of ten. One of our party had the chicken burger which he really enjoyed. The owner did give us a desert platter to make up for the wait which was delicious and greatly appreciated. The review is based on what I ate. I would also like to note that our waitress was very apologetic and sweet and I felt for her. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Josh is the most amazing man. The kitchen was closed but he said I can make you any pizza you want and any dessert too. He recommend the ghost mushroom. It was unreal and the dessert was also 10/10. He was legend. And so was all the staff so kind and helpful. Highly recommend The Bay. Meal type Dinner Price per person $40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We just stopped for lunch and shared a Pepperoni pizza between us, but if we're ever in the Area near Acacia Bay again we'll seek this place out again for a bigger feed. Sometimes you walk into a place and can just tell it's going to be good. Everything's clean (including the toilets!), and the staff seem invested, like they really enjoy the food they're serving. Couldn't recommend it more! Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We stopped here for dinner last night and we loved it so much we came back again for dinner tonight. The food was fantastic - would highly recommend the lamb ribs!! The staff were friendly and the perfect level of attentive. Every staff member was clearly passionate about their job. Sadly we’re moving on with our travels tomorrow before heading home to the UK but we will definitely be returning to Taupo in the future especially for the lamb ribs at The Bay Bar and Brasserie!

We had a last minute booking on Saturday night, the restaurant was very busy but the staff were friendly & attentive, they did a great job. We had the beef fillet which was perfectly cooked, and the fish of the day which was also excellent. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Came here when the place we were going to was full. Bad luck to the other place though, as we'll now come to The Bay in the future. Great food, with excellent GF pizza. No complaints from us. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
