H	Helen Arkless on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely view from the restaurant patio out to the Bay of Islands. Prompt service by agreeable professional wait staff. Good menu something to suit everyone. I had clams for appetisers followed by an entree size Pork belly. Served beautifully full of flavour, a bit different from the average. I felt that the cost of the meal was justified because of the quality of the food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and would recommend equally for a special occasion meal or an evening with friends and family, just a little bit special.
R	R C N on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sourdough toasts of the day were a great starter. Te koura mata (raw crayfish salad) was top notch, an excellent take on ika mata/oka/kokoda/raw fish. Overall, food presentation and service staff were great. Crayfish risotto was overpowered by the rich base and mascarpone (needed something to cut through the richness) but had lovely crayfish bites in there. Coffee/passion fruit parfait was very interesting on the eye and palette. Beautiful, peaceful setting. Lovely place. Handy shuttle to/from the Russell wharf very welcome
J	Jeremy P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The stunning view is only exceeded by the most delicious of foods, and well matched wines. Truly a delightful location to enjoy local produce, prepared to perfection. Take the time to enjoy it! And you might even get to see a moho pereru (Banded Rail) on the deck.
L	Linda on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We arrived by our runabout into Parua Bay and collected by the complimentary minivan service that took us up the hill to the restaurant. Absolutely amazing restaurant, we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on the deck with the magnificent views. Food was exquisite, fabulous wines. We will be back!
T	Treena Drinnan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Booked online, selected the optional platter, wine and complimentary Russell shuttle as a starter. Confirmed the day prior, called to check shuttle arrangements and emailed. Unfortunately on the day informed shuttle fully booked, Russells taxis weren’t operating and Sage were not flexible in accommodating us. Shame we missed out, we are sure it’s amazing. Have booked our in-laws as a Christmas present and hope they get a better experience. We did manage to get into the Duke of Marlborough who were extremely hospitable, seafood platter with Crayfish was delicious as was the Rose, with service that was unrivalled. From Auckland and trying to support local hospitality businesses in Covid times.
R	Rob (Formerly Rick) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent daytime backdrop for a meal. Had the crayfish risotto for main and it didn't sit that well - would skip that meal. Staff were friendly and very accommodating, blankets available for outside seating
D	Douglas McKeown on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Exceptional location and Restaurant decor. Lovely drive from the Opua ferry. Arrived just before dusk and enjoyed a great view of the profile of the Island and mainland landscape against the sunset. Never really seen a menu with such variety. This is real class and lived up to its TV profile on Luxury Lodges. We had entrées of sourdough with White Prawns from Queensland and Pork Dumplings and a really nice hot soup. I had 12 hour cooked lamb ribs with dukkah coating and Sharlie had Nelson Salmon. Pinot Gris and Maude Pinot Noir went down very well. Price of meal was quite surprisingly reasonable. Highly recommended.
O	Oceania Marine on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great menu and a beautiful Bay of Islands setting. We enjoyed a fantastic late lunch with Charlie our small dog accompanying us. Staff could do with some training on mask wearing which was the only negative. Left with a couple of bottles of the excellent Chardonnay from the winery
