The General - Auckland Central

The service was noticeably slow, with only one waitstaff and one person in the kitchen. Although the restaurant is not large, it is clean and organized. However, the table at the back could benefit from more lighting; it felt a bit dark, especially when there were few customers. I had to wait quite a while for water, drinks, and the menu, which was frustrating as it did not feel efficient. On the bright side, there were some truly impressive dishes. The tuna tartare was both beautiful and delicious, a real highlight. The fish of the day was fresh and flavorful. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked, but unfortunately, it lacked flavor as the dressing from the other dishes was too overpowering. The Brussels sprouts, on the other hand, were delightful! They were deep-fried alongside kale, which made me wonder if they could possibly dehydrate or bake them next time for a healthier option. The ice cream was absolutely divine. They only offer one flavor, which I found to be a good choice as it simplified the decision-making process. I really love ice cream! Overall, it's still a relatively new restaurant, and I believe it can only improve with time.

This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with outstanding service. It truly stands out as one of the best restaurants in Auckland. I thoroughly enjoyed the culinary delights, and the service, food, and atmosphere were all perfect. I can’t wait to return in the future!
