The food taste good. Oysters are recommended and fresh. The potato skins and mussels are nice as well. I didn't like the (kewpi) mayonnaise on the carpaccio, kinda overpowering. Overall very flavourfull. I would have given a 4 star on the food but the drinks are proportionally crazy expensive. These pricing for wine and cocktails (and even beer) are same price as michelin starred restaurants.

I'm writing this using Google Translate because I don't speak English. I'm Japanese. Last May, I went to New Zealand for my honeymoon. I'm writing this review based on that experience. I chose this restaurant based on recommendations from my travel agent and a YouTube video by Chihara Junior. First of all, I was incredibly impressed by how delicious all the dishes were. I was able to eat many things I can't find in Japan. The combinations and sauces were all superb. If my stomach and wallet were limitless, I would have wanted to try every single item on the menu. The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke to us a lot, even though our English isn't very good. We managed to tell them we were on our honeymoon in New Zealand. Towards the end of our meal, they surprised us with a sugar pie with candles. My husband and I were so moved that tears welled up in our eyes. It's a memory we'll never forget. We definitely want to visit again. A huge thank you to the kind and lovely woman with the beautiful red nails and bronze hair who treated us so well. We love you! The people of New Zealand are so kind everywhere we go; they really helped us out. Choosing New Zealand for our honeymoon was truly the best decision.

This place serves absolutely amazing food. We travelled through South Island on our campervan trip and thought of taking sometime to enjoy Auckland. This is our first dinner in Auckland and we were blown away with the remarkable service and food. Highly recommended the skirt and steak, the oyster is amazing, the pannacota with feijoa dessert is perfect ending to the food. Special shout-out to the wait staff, Ms Gabby (if we caught her name correctly) - she is amazing, with her bubbly friendly personality, she recommended all the amazing foods on the menu to us and we love it. This is the best dining experience that we've had in New Zealand.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Depot Eatery – Auckland Fantastic food and great ambiance. We sat outside and enjoyed fresh Pacific Marlborough & Pahi oysters and Tua Tua clams — all incredibly fresh and delicious. The veal tongue, snapper, sweet corn, and lamb neck were original, flavorful, and reminded us of tapas in Spain. Service was excellent — friendly and responsive. By the time we left, the place was packed with people waiting for tables, which says it all. Highly recommend!

Would rate 5 if not for the experience we had from the host today. Spent $150+ for two people dinner around 7pm Nov 2. Everything was amazing - from food, chef and waiters except for the host today. We were seated in frontbar and politely request the host today guy with curly hair with glasses and piercing if we can move as it is too cold in the front bar and he was like I will put you in the waiting list and need to wait 20 mins, and he even said he cant do anything about the aircondition. like are you serious we are already seated. And we are freezing infront bar. Plus we can see vacant tables, would understand if it’s busy and no avail seats. We are regular - eat at least once a week , refer u guys to friends and fam but toay is total disappointment coz of him. He even said after we pay after and after giving feedback, like come next time and il give u better seats. Like girl… where’s your customer service and have u not know how to look after regulars… as soon I see next time he is the host il immediately walk away. I hope manager or owner can read this and provide feedback to him.
