Reviews of Next Door Cafe
J.Love the vibes here very relaxing staff were awesome food was delicious definitely recommend this place great location close to the portside and beach nice place to go for a walk after yr meal thanks guys we enjoyed our evening
K. F.We had a great meal here with the ciabatta starter and the steak and chicken for our mains, the steak was a great cut, cooked to perfection and super tasty. We both indulged in dessert. I would highly recommend for great food and atmosphere. Service was also very good.
F. T.Amazing food, lamb rank was amazing and the flavour of the lamb and veges was amazing! Coffee and treat option was great. Service was a little slow but they were full, waitress was lovely and really made the night.
K. G.We enjoyed the pretty little European style courtyard and desserts outside. Inside was busy with good atmosphere. A nice find down a back street, in a gorgeous art deco building. Very pleasant staff as well.
O. P.Not worth the hype. Couldn't get in on Friday night for dinner so made a booking for Saturday and were a little disappointed. The garlic flatbread was absolutely amazing but I can't say the same about the eye fillet or the apparently highly regarded risotto, which were both just average. The ambience and service were good but there honestly, there are better more interesting options around.
L.We have been trying to get to this place for a while as had have heard great reviews. The service was great and super down to earth and the food was superb! We will definitely return and work our way through the well thought out menu with flavour bursts that just sing in your mouth. We were well impressed and rate this dining experience as a highly recommended eatery.
J. B.Great main courses, the pork belly and snapper. Unfortunately the scallops entree was left under the lamp for over 6 mins without being brought out. Salad doesn't like being heated. But the scallops were cold.
It was rectified though
I feel there was probably a need for more capable waitstaff .
I would still return.
J. C.Excellent service and portion sizes. Fresh fish yummy
T. W.A truly lovely night, the food was absolutely delicious and the decor was choice
J. A.Friendly atmosphere and delicious food. Smoked feta pot, grouper, and scotch fillet were very tasty, as was the date pudding and port at the end.
S. J.The food here is outstanding, however the menu has not changed in years (and that includes the specials board). Also the service can be a bit hit and miss, but I totally appreciate that many in the service industry are struggling to get enough staff.
C. T.This was the best meal we had on the North Island and we have been going to great restaurants. Excellent in every single detail.
We didn’t have a reservation and were lucky they could find a table for us outside, at the patio.
Make sure you eat at this restaurant at least one time when visiting the region.
D. P.Recommended by an Auckland friend, we took our Hawkes Bay sister-in-law to Three Doors Up for dinner. We shared a chicken liver pate which was plenty for three. It was very tasty. I enjoyed salmon with crispy roasted potatoes, avocado and a very good variety of veges. Service was friendly and pleasant. And the music was soft enough so that we could talk! Lovely evening thank you.
D. C.Excellent customer service. Very friendly. Food is great
M. J.It was ok. They it was booked inside however during our time there the inside was empty other than 1 or 2 tabkes. Outside was not inviting. The cost was very expensive. Over rated
B.Me and girl friend went there first time ,had beautiful meal and atmosphere was great, loved the place place and food
d. g.Great place to eat, food is awesome, waitress was a little dizzy, but she was new?
B.Wonderful service - even in COVID 19 level 2. Beautiful food, generous portions and a lovely atmosphere. Will be back!
M. M.Well cooked meal. Awesome friendly staff. Good selection of food.
P. W.Doesn't rate as the best dining experience I've had, even in Hawkes Bay. Was not unpleasant, tries hard to be upmarket but the good wasn't quite there and service was pleasant but not rave-worthy, good perhaps not great.
Even when catching the servers eye, they still went to other tables and chatted to other staff before coming over.
The fresh focacia was still fridge-cold and barely edible, in fact a large portion was not eaten by guests.
On the whole, not unpleasant but also not with a return visit next time we are in town
J. F.One of the best scotch fillets I have had before, cooked to perfection 👌. To top it off had dessert as well which again was beautiful. Service was really good too. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes beautiful food.
R. D. S.A wonderful restaurant where they use the best quality ingredients and go out if their way to make everybody happy.
I was amazed at how the busy kitchen created a wonderful vegan dish, especially for me.
Tasty, beautifully presented and the serviceis outstanding.
J. L.Good food with great customer service even though it was quite crowded & busy on valentine's day !
L. D.Couldn't fault it ...the interior decor sets the scene...and the food is exquisite 👌
W. M.Three Doors is our absolute favourite.! Anj and the team consistently provide an excellent menu, wonderful wine list and professional service with a warm and friendly atmosphere. We have for many years operated a very busy Bed and Breakfast with international and NZ guests, recommending Three Doors for guests wanting a special meal. We repeatedly had glowing reports back, that their meals had been superb and on occasions guests had booked for each night of their time in Napier!!! A heads up...... Bookings are highly recommended.
N. G.Once again we were not disappointed, the atmosphere, service and food was outstanding. Brody,front of house service person and our waiter was perfect in attention to detail, wait time between meals as well as drink requirements. Noel and Adrienne.
B. H.Visiting from Auckland went there for the first time Sunday Night. The place was packed and wow from the excellent service to the outstanding quality of the food, we were most impressed. The chicken wrapped in bacon stuffed with prunes was unbelievably good and for dessert the lemon meringue was 10/10. We raved about the meal on drive back home next day. Our friends were right this is a restaurant not to be missed.
j. j.Excellent evening. Service, meal, wine list, atmosphere. The best Rissoto I have had for a long time... our table of 10 were all very happy with their meals.
B. L.The food was delicious, however the service was not, well done to the cooks
F. K.We booked out the Fourth Door for a group 60th birthday party. Was a fun night. Great hostess and staff. Wonderful selection of canopies and the meals where fantastic, beautiful presentation. You could order any one of the three deserts and not be disappointed. Book in at Christmas and you can sample a medley of all three.
Will happily dine here or the Third Door again.
A. E.Fantastic dining experience here. We had a group of 30 people, every meal was spectacular and the service was exceptional. Staff were lovely and really attentive. The chocolate brownie was the best I've ever tasted. I'll definitely dine here again.
J. J.We have just visited this wonderful restaurant. Wonderful food, great friendly service. Food was lovely and hot and quite quick at being served to our table We were taken care of by a lovely lady and we loved the different options she presented to us to make our dining experience fabulous. I had the scallops in panko crumbs but instead of chips I could have the potato galette with such a tasty coleslaw. My husband had the Beef Wellington. Great meals. I would so recommend this restaurant visiting Napier. Thanks so much.
S. L.We were visiting from Tauranga and staying at The Anchorage motel.
We walked along West Quay looking for somewhere to eat but most of the places had music blaring and we were looking for something a bit more sophisticated.
We found Three Doors Up on google maps and what a hidden gem. The food was amazing and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend.
D. M.Amazing place - had our Christmas dinner here & everything was 10 out of 10. Delicious meal in the great spacious back bar/dining room & the front of house soul staff lady was incredible - nothing was too much for her. Definitely would come again - thanks
L. M.Welcomed on arrival. Caramelized onion bread was delicious, chowder and Calamari....until a long hair was found in the calamari. Potato and onion side dish at $8 was a very small serving. Coffee's were made went to the bathroom and they were still sitting on the service desk.
A.Very friendly and helpful server and fantastic food. We all had the lamb rack and would definitely go back for it again. Lovely atmosphere and very busy so next time we'll make sure we've booked.
G. H.Really impressed with this place. Extra friendly staff member and had a great meal. Sat outside and when temperature dropped came out with blankets.
Highly recommend
d. h.Fabulous meal. Would recommend to anyone visiting Napier 👍
P. B.Wonderful food well presented great service would highly recommend
J. M.The food here is always delicious. Helpfully friendly staff.great location. great atmosphere.
S. L.A great experience.
We didn’t book so we’re lucky to find a table. My family is a bit difficult with our dietary needs but our waiter was great and shared a laugh throughout the evening, it really made the experience enjoyable. The food was also good, think of it as higher end pub food. I would certainly return.
B. a. L. G.Excellent food and good service. Very pleasant dining.
T. H.Everyone raves about this place, but it wasn't quite what we were expecting. We were quite late to sit and we left before desert because the place was packing up at 9:30pm.
But the food we had was nice, the staff were friendly though I would have liked a little more service, I basically had to flag down our server to get a second beer.
My steak though, so, so good. Perfectly cooked.
C. S.Food was really great lovely place. But the service was a bit slow.it took half an hour to get a waitress to come over to place a drinks order.
But thats not put us off we will defo go again.
D. H.Absolutely lovely meals. Staff were nice. The atmosphere was bright and cosy.
M. B.Last evening, our party of six women enjoyed fine food (pork belly & Beef Wellington reigned supreme, but the seafood chowder & pasta dishes also made their mark).. On a winter's night, the restaurant was full & the atmosphere convivial; the service was efficient & friendly. A great night out & I shall return!
B. C.Very worthwhile. Nice ambience and friendly staff. Food variety good. A top end restaurant.
B.Great outdoor space by the water to sit and eat and/or drink. Food was lovely and included gluten free options. Staff were very friendly and helpfulEnjoyed a very comfortable seat on the couch and after a short wait our devonshire teas arrived. The small delay was due to fresh cream being made and it was very delicious.
R. S.Attractive restaurant slightly hidden away but well worth finding. Food was excellent (vegetarian risotto and beef wellington). The latter was perfectly cooked and the steak was extremely tender. Very good service. It was near enough full even on a Wednesday at 1830 which reflects its obvious reputation.
J. L.Fantastic evening. Terrific staff and absolutely delicious meal.
J. C.Turned up with the wife and 3 year old without a booking. Staff accommodated us and were absolutely awesome throughout, especially with the little fella. He had the kids steak and veges which were very good, I had the lamb rack which was awesome and the wife had the risotto which was very good.
S. T.Booked a table from out of town for a birthday party having only looked at the web site, requested a cake for the birthday girl. I was contacted closer to the time to be asked for a preference in the cake's flavour. We duly arrived at 3 Doors Up Saturday night, greeting was very friendly and we were shown to our table.
Orders taken for drinks which promptly arrived, we were given time to decide on our food, the order was taken. Bread arrived quickly as did the one entree. In no time at all the mains were served. The presentation was great the flavours ran true - a lovely meal enjoyed by all 6. Cake served complete with candle and knife. The ambience, the relaxed but efficient service and the food was very very good. I WILL BE BACK. Thank you, thank you for making our night a wonderful one.
V. O.The fish of the day was gurnard. It was served with vegetables including young potatoes and asparagus. The saltiness of the fish was balanced perfectly with the acidity of lemon. The young potatoes were crispy at the edges, and the asparagus was crunchy. I matched it with local Sauvignon Blanc, and it was one of the best meals I've ever had.
M. D.We enjoyed a great meal—seafood chowder and vegetable stack—and a sweet of ginger and sticky date pudding.
All dishes were excellent and our host was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is best described as hyperlocal and delightful— a truly hidden gem. We wish we could return but are leaving Napier in the morning.
S. E.Really nice food and lovely service!
L.Lovely
L. M.Food and service were both great
M. J.Fantastic place. Food delicious and beautifully presented. Great drink menu. Lovely friendly staff. We wished then night would go on forever. Fabulous night out.
C. M.Fantastic service and ambience. We were a group of four and everyone enjoyed their meals; seafood chowder, beef wgtn and scallops. I has the vege stack which was underwhelming. It was tasty but with 3 very thin slices of aubergine and some chopped asparagus and red pepper and about half a teaspoon of blue cheese - it was a miserly portion for the price. Otherwise pleasant.
M. E.Easter Saturday and no booking, but despite the initial 'we're fully booked' they managed to seat us as we were very early - 2 adults and a 2 year old. No children's menu, but not a problem "the chef will prepare anything for your daughter", so risotto is was. The service was fantastic and the food was perfect. Thanks for a great early evening dinner, we will be back.
S. R.Popped in here with friends visiting from Napier and we were all very impressed with the delicious food and friendly service. Thanks. I’d give 5 stars but the dessert menu didn’t appeal - probably just as well!
L. W.Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Had a lovely evening. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
A.love the food, the experience, everything is just perfect. Excellent service and friendly welcome to amazing food that you just want to lick the plate. It is always busy in there, but don't let that put you off. If there is one dish you have to try is the pork belly 👌. Make sure to reserve in advance.
E. B.Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and options for the dietry restrained, which was great to find 😁
D. T.Well worth a visit. We only had a short time available as we were due at a function elsewhere. They were able to provide us with lovely meals. We only wish we could have spent longer. Decor is well done. Staff very obliging.
S. I.Nicest meal I have had out for a very long time. The service was fantastic. I would highly recommend to everyone.
D. D.Wanted a light dinner and tried the grilled vegetables - I was not disappointed. There was a nice selection of veggies, well seasoned, with a touch of cheese. There local beer selection is a little weak, but I believe that there is not a strong local beer scene.
Would like to try again with other menu items.
A.The food was excellent as was the service. Highly recommended.
T. D.We go here every year for Valentine's day. Always a great experience and really good atmosphere. I think the food is a we bit expensive for you get and I would have expected more love towards the food and personal touch. For example, grating the parmasen cheese personally rather than using pre grated would have been nicer. Presentation of the food I think was ok but i think it could be improved. Good selection of drinks and always really good service. Would recommend.
R. F.Excellent seafood beautifully cooked and presented, warm friendly service, lovely local wine making it a great evening. Will definitely come back when next in Napier.
G. B.Very nice food and nice atmosphere but overpriced for what was offered.
K. D.Service was great and attentive. Nice atmosphere. Overall food was good just a little under seasoned for our liking.
A. L.Finally managed to get in when visiting the bay. One of my best dining experiences. We will be back next HB visit!
J. P.Great service and even better food. Absolutely delightful restaurant. My favourite was the lemon meringue pie
R. A.Food and service was excellent had a very enjoyable evening.

D. H.Beautiful food and great service. Great they opened on a Monday night. Music was good and not too loud. Conversation was easy to have/hear. Full marks.
T. a. L. S.Very patient, they adapted a meal to meet our dietary needs without any fuss at all. Attentive service and lovely food. Highly recommended, but book in advance to avoid any potential disappointment.
