The place is lovely, good vibe to it when you walk in BUT....... The wait for food was far too long, (We were the 1st in) it took an hour from Time of ordering to receiving our kai. #1- Big Breakfast x2 - Both were nice. #2- Entree, Lippy Mussels with sauce, they were good. #3- Outlaw. Chips and Mushroom sauce were fresh, the sandwich mediocre as. (Sorry guys) #Drinks, Mohito = Not great. - Iced Mocha = Good - iced Chocolate = Good - Raspberry = Good. Desserts = Good Also, toward the end of our meal, our cousin found a black hair in her potato cake, I took a photo, and showed the staff, by this point we were pretty over the whole experience. They offered a free drink to cover the "Hair" incident" - but we declined as we were put off. We paid for everything, including the breakfast with the hair in it! Next time, check your kai before it goes out on the line, you cannot make mistakes like this, it hurts the business and its reputation. To our server (The one with the red and black hair) you were so lovely xxx Thank you for serving us Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $50–60 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5
Waiters have no people skills. They refused to let us have a more comfortable chair for my granny who is 78, she was uncomfortable on a high chair without a back rest. She said that these are the chairs for this table (table 14) and that we could not take the high chairs with the back rest from other tables. The kids pizza base was so hard that my son couldn't bite it, he ate the toppings only. The ribs were so burnt, as the picture, the waitress said that once I get into it it would be tender. That was not the case. The ribs were also very salty, when we told the waitress she just said so sorry about that and walked away. I feel extremely embarrassed about bringing my family here. They are from South Africa on holiday. I moved to Gisborne 6 months ago.

Average service along with a particular staff member who just plain and simply looked like she didn’t want to be there! The food was super salty, ordered kids pizza, nachos and beef burger. Normally you’re able to say at least one good thing about your meal… this time round though, not a single thing! There is one staff member who definitely went to extra mile with the service, she was super friendly and genuinely cared. Full credit to her! (Gabby) Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

Food was really good had the mussels, holy caesar and salt and battered fish seafood cooked well fish was fresh, crispy batter and chips. Holy Chicken Caesar was tasty dressing was yum chicken moist and good portions. Mussel sauce was good lots of flavour and not overly rich. Service just as good as the food attentive and pleasant also love that we could self order and waiting time was 20mins 😊.

We were a party of 4 on a Saturday afternoon and we were taken care of from the moment we arrived. The outdoor tables make for a beautiful view of the Harbour. Drinks were amazing!!! Peach mojito I will definitely be going back for. Our platter was way too much and we took some home. It is well worth the money you pay and the staff are warm, welcoming and lovely. Thank you Linear🧡 for hosting us. Nga mihinui Wharf bar and grill💛💛💛 . You made our girls day out. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Came here for my 19th birthday and was very impressed with the food and service. I got the loaded fries and was so surprised with the amount of food I got for the price . The drinks are really good as well and the staff were really friendly. Would highly recommend Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
A few little tweaks would have made our night 5-stars like our last visit; had to wait about 20minutes after being shown (well pointed to..no-one took us there) our table for someone to come over but we had already ordered; no complimentary water served on welcoming; no serviettes on table (ate our garlic bread then realised nothing to clean up with, had to ask for some); didn't receive our ordered drinks until after entree; complimentary water (which we ordered after mains) was warm; our waitress (youngish girl) for the night served our water & dessert seemed "over the night" (as opposed to the older waitress who served our dinner who was very friendly & bubbly which makes a huge difference); same dessert as we ordered last time for the same price but a lot smaller (pavlova). Food was DELICIOUS as like last time but just a few small things could have made it better :) Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5
