Memento Lounge & Bistro - Mantra

Came here with a Groupon. Ordered the salt and pepper squid for entree, and sirloin steak for main. The salt and pepper squid was delicious and came with a nice sweet chilli sauce. The steak was well cooked, however, it needed more sauce. The tiramisu was average.

Attractive price but v unattractive food. Ordered sesame crusted tuna. The tuna was soooo oily and burnt when it came out on the plate . The tuna was cold in the centre genius obviously just took it out of the fridge threw it into scorching pan burnt the seasame and was i better throw this onto the plate...There was also a lack of seasoning that makes the fish taste and smell way to fishy, could not taste any salt or pepper on it at all. The waiter kind man noticed as I was cutting it up and was like would you liked that cooked further...top marks but dont return me the same piece of tuna thats cooked through like what you find in a can....bless you! Stick to the beef burger and the breakfast buffet...may save your date!

Stayed at the hotel firstly I would say don't stay here if you need a high chair we had breakfast included in our package and we're informed no high chairs the guests have them in their room. Asked to speak to the manager who NEVER bothered to even show up. Disgusting and for a family friendly hotel we ended being given a takeaway burger box for our breakfast to take back to the room. Also had room service the night before Food arrived barely warm the butter chicken had bones through it and half the cheesecake was dry and stale. Avoid eating here we certainly won't be for the rest of our stay.

Food is ok but the staff/service is well below average. Have stayed at mantra a number of times and is useful as a guest but wouldn't bother if i wasn't staying there.

Was great to spend a lovely Saturday afternoon ! Close to wynyard station . Had the Pappardelle Pasta with Lamb Ragu which is the best I've had in my life ! It was delicious ! Lamb was so tender ! We had great service too ! ????
