The Jervois Steak House in Herne Bay is supposed to be fantastic. Its owned / run by the same people as Euro / Pasha down on Princes Wharf. I havent eaten there but have had it highly recommended by a couple of real foodies. http://www.jervoissteakhouse.co.nz/home/

What sort of food does Red do? Is it normal restaurant stuff? It's one red dog I've been too before so don't know anything about red.

(p.s. forgot to mention we don't do indian or anything with curry, spices etc)]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2007 10:56:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12458&PID=251226&title=akl-restaurants#251226 <![CDATA[Akl Restaurants : .Mel wrote:I&#039;m on Onehunga...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12458&PID=251201&title=akl-restaurants#251201 Author: FionaS

Keep in mind that Claret have new owners. They have recently had a review done by the herald and it wasn't very good.

I would recommend Francoli in Ellerslie - beautiful food.


Oh bother! Now I am confused. Too much to do and no time due to a child who will not sleep! Now I know why they call it the silly season.

O'Connell Street Bistro is wonderful. Intimate, romantic and amazing food.

We've been to claret once, and quite frankly I hated it (sorry to those who like it). The food looked and tasted like they'd ordered it in from a catering company, heated it in the microwave and then served. And it was expensive.]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2007 08:54:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12458&PID=251113&title=akl-restaurants#251113 <![CDATA[Akl Restaurants : &#034;Red&#034; on Jervois Road...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12458&PID=251098&title=akl-restaurants#251098 Author: Red

"Red" on Jervois Road is great, not just cos of the name either ....

Went to Hammerheads a few weeks ago which was lovely, very pricey though.

Try the Engine Room or Eight Two over on the shore. They both do really nice food. The Engine Room is probably the posher of the two where as Eight Two is casual with first class food IMO. You may find it hard to get a booking being Friday already as they are usually quite popular.
Otherwise the French Cafe on Symonds Street is delicious. Depending on how much you are willing to spend give the chef's tasting menu a go.
I would also have a look on the internet at your local vineyards and see what's handy to you. Vineyards are always a good place to go for delicious food and of course great wine.
Have a fantastic night.

Recommendations needed please...

It's 11.25pm and I'm still on my computer working and my brain has turned to mush. Today is DH's 30th and I'm taking him out for dinner tomorrow night. I'd like to go somewhere really nice & comfortable & a lil' bit posh. A menu that includes steak would be preferable. Preferably not on the North Shore as it's too far away.

Any recommendations?]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2007 23:32:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12458&PID=251025&title=akl-restaurants#251025
