One of the best neighbourhood bistros I have tried recently. Both the food and drinks were great and decent portion size. I look forward to going back soon to try more items on their menu.

Elegant and relaxed environment, perfect for a quiet dinner. It’s a relatively small menu, but everything on it sounded amazing. We will be back!

We had a girls lunch to celebrate Christmas today. All I can say is WOW! What a hidden gem StanleyAve Bar restaurant is. The food, the service and the decor all 100%. Four of us ordered the fresh fish on pea risotto, it was fresh and it was full of flavour cooked to perfection. The side of Parmesan fries where a hit to. Thank you for being on the Shore. I’m just about to book again .

Definitely worth a visit. We received a nice welcome from Anna and Catherine. It was blustery last evening and we hadn't made a reservation but they were so accommodating. I ordered the beef which was very tender and my friend enjoyed her chicken dish. We shared a generous side dish of kumara and goats cheese. Dessert was limonocello and also banana meringue with rum sauce (a little too sweet...no problem, they would let the chef know). Stanley Ave has an incredible wine selection. They have tried to reduce noise with acoustic paneling.

We had lunch here last week and it was a wonderful experience. Eating out with young kids can be less than enjoyable but the staff at Stanley’s made us feel very welcome. Our waitress, Erana, was an absolute delight and the food was excellent and an incredible bargain to boot. A definite 5 star experience.

I was recommended this establishment from foodie friends of mine, who proved yet again that they know what they're talking about! Matt, one of the owners, was on the floor all of the time, assisting diners to have the best evening, clearly confident that his team out 'back' knew what they were doing also. Every part of the evening was fantastic, and the meal was so good, we all had to share each others food to some extent because we wanted to try it all! I had the small plate ribs with a couple of seasonal vege sides - each was a true delight. The service was excellent too. Thank you to the entire team who made our evening so lovely.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You need to check out this little gem! We dined on a Saturday night and have been blown away by their amazing menu, attention to detail, great wine list, gorgeous fit out, lovely, genuine service- not to mention their awesome food! Every dish was fab, I can’t mention anything we didn’t enjoy and we tried a LOT! The menu has something for everyone and try something you wouldn’t normally! Definitely choose this place for your next dining out occasion!
