Billfish Cafe - Auckland

Eating is great and so is friendly staff.Sizzling prawns was my favorite and the fish n chips and pan fried shnapper was also very good. they say the Bluffie season is coming soon / I will be back.

I don't know how I ended up dining at this place, and it's not like anything terrible happened, but I'm unlikely to return. The service is okay, it's not amazing. The location is lovely looking out over the water at all those boats. Beautiful on a stunning Auckland summer day. ... But the food is just average. I ordered bacon and eggs on ciabatta. And while you can't exactly screw that up, you can make it pretty average which is exactly what this place did. The bacon was terrible quality, it was covered in fat and it came out looking horrible on the plate, just dumped on the side. My poached eggs hadn't been drained properly and were watery tasting as well, so that made the bread taste awful. The bread wasn't well toasted, it was somewhere in between... I just don't get it. I could have got better at home, and I wouldn't have paid $18 for it. The muesli that my friends ordered was bland and didn't come with any yoghurt, so it looked dry as anything. Coffee was average, it wasn't disgusting but it wasn't great. It's just... pretty average. It seem clearly to me that this is a place that relies solely on its location.

We had a delightful lunch in a wonderful setting on a beautiful autumn day. Upon arriving, we were greeted by several friendly employees and shown to our perfect table. We enjoyed a refreshing glass of Sauvignon Blanc as it was International Sauvignon Blanc Day and explored the new and sophisticated menu. However, we couldn't resist ordering the outstanding billfish fish and chips. The batter was perfectly crispy, the terakihi fresh, and the chips golden and delicious. We were very impressed! We were too full for dessert, but had a fantastic afternoon thanks to the excellent food and attentive staff.

This restaurant is a peaceful and undiscovered spot to gather with friends. Whether you're looking for a meal, a coffee break, or just a snack, the staff is attentive and the chefs prepare delicious fresh seafood dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. Indulge yourself and give it a try - you'll keep coming back for more. There is also plenty of parking available.

I have been coming to this restaurant for about 7-8 years now, and the food has always been okay, nothing exceptional. However, on a Friday night, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dishes. When I asked the staff about it, they informed me that they have a new chef. I am definitely going to start coming here more often.
