B.

Wow what a lovely place to dine at. Beautiful decor, tables well spaced. Super helpful and friendly staff And most importantly, the food is delicious and looks devine. Great prices, we just wish there was a bigger dessert portion!

R.

5 places in the morning drove to in Dunedin no one was served us what we were looking for then we saw this place in the maps nearby. Whenever im in Dunedin will always visit this place. Highly recommend great staff good people.

m.

Fantastic night here for a works dinner. Great friendly vibe in the bar, then a beautiful meal in the restaurant. Food was great, staff friendly and helpful. Couldn't recommend enough!

L.

Cosy and perfect entertainment location. You could grab your friends and organise your own Quiz night here with an added bonus of service and hospitality. Amazing food, service and staff. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏 💯

P.

We had a really good meal here, it's a nice friendly atmosphere, the decor has been very nicely up specced and the food is very high quality. Excellent views and just a nice place to eat.

I.

Had lunch with family visiting from out of town. Opened with liquid breakfast at 11am and a chat while catching up. Murdoch (licensee) visited our table and gave us a whole range of bottle openers, sun glasses and caps as a welcome gift. Great humor, plenty general knowledge about the area and warm appreciation for our patronage. I had a chicken burger with crispy fries for lunch and they didn't disappoint with amazing views alfresco. Sapphire is the lovely chef behind the counter. Will make this my local while in Dunedin for 6 months. You wont be disappointed. 👍🎊🎶🎉

C.

Excellent meal and good service all at a reasonable to price.

A.

Low and Slow meat Co "light option" chicken wrap $18 is a hugely generous meal and the Chicken and Bacon salad was the same, being a really big meal so great value. I ordered regular Beef Brisket with salad and slaw as the sides $25 total. All in all was OK nothing worth raving about but nothing to complain about either. In my opinion the concept is great but it would be more enjoyable if they placed your meal on a plate instead of having 3 seperate bowls in front of you. Tried some of the Lamb shoulder also and it was quite nice . Have heard the sharing platter ($60 recommended for 2 people) is really generous and great value for money, this gives you a variety of meats and sides to enjoy. The staff were great and the restaurant is pretty cool being surrounded by windows. Made for a great veiw when it suddenly started pissing down!

A.

Went there for pre christmas family lunch, LOVED the eggs and chicken burger, chips was great too, Friendly staff, very highly recommend

J.

Nice food and a really beautiful environment. Perfect for dinner or a drink or a coffee.

C.

What a transformed restaurant this has now become and a delightful surprise. Meals for 7 of us were all different and very enjoyable. Kids prices were awesome and appealing with good choices. Plenty of room and service was above and beyond our expectation and our waitress went out of her way to cater to all our needs. We will definitely be back as this is now a great family restaurant.

T.

Food was delish, desert was excellent and the atmosphere great. Service was primo and food timimg perfect.

M.

Works xmas dinner.good menu selection and reasonable prices. Would go back again and refer restaurant to friends and family.

R.

One of my favourite brunch spots in Dunedin. The Eggs Benedict never disappoints! The atmosphere and décor are lovely, as is the view out across the ocean. Staff are always attentive, friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.

N.

Awesum place. Food is great value and big portions, delicious especially the steak and spare ribs. A regular of ours😃

F.

Very nice service, food was amazing, loved it.

K.

Large meal staff really nice.great service.

A.

I nearly broke my feet jumping off their balcony. I can only fault them for making me have so much fun that I would do something so stupid. I am still limping but write this with a smile on my face. Definitely worth a visit.

T.

Great food, great staff!

B.

Had the eggs with Bacon last week Delicious Heaps of Bacon Good service and pleasant surroundings

A.

massive feed...!!! Couldn't finish the meal. the gravy on the schnitzel was delicious.

P.

Super service by really great people and amazing food

b.

We used the downstairs function area, such a great venue, staff were awesome, food platters were excellent

b.

It was the best staff where great can't wait to go back

S.

Average. Didn't find seating very comfortable. Staff try to take plates before diners have finished. Wasn't offered dessert menu. Was better as Fat Harry's. Prices were reasonable. Looking at other reviews, I'm not sure if I was in the tap house, the kitchen and bar or 36 on mailer..

P.

Food great service poor, had to chase waitress continuously for service, orders.

D.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Ended up going back twice in one week!

S.

Had a very nice meal. Service was good without being outstanding.. but it's very noisy. High ceilings with nothing to buffer the noise. Three quarters full when we were there and was noisy enough that you have to talk quite loud to each other.. We did sit over by the windows so maybe that was part of the issue. All in all a good enough feed but could be a bit cheaper. Meals are high class restaurant cost without the high class feel.

E.

Whaaaaaaat the size of the speights bottles, definitely recommend great atmosphere

N.

we had a selection of set lunch. Great! Car park is available.

A.

Our new favourite - and all because of the staff. We dropped into Mornington Taphouse on a Friday evening and got a table near the kitchen. We had our whole family and a few friends so the 9 of us shared a large table together. Our kids were being kids, and playing with some of the large kids games set up in another area of the restaurant throughout the night, and the staff were just amazing with them. From tying our middle child's shoes when they saw they were un-laced, through to providing activities and colouring pencils, nothing was a bother. Even with us being positioned near the kitchen with our kids toing and froing between the table and games area, the staff were just amazing.. The food was great too. Big $19 pizzas, salads, burgers etc. We came away very happy and the while family was very satisfied. We don't live close, but would make the trip up to Mornington Taphouse just for the service alone. If you have a family, go to Mornington Taphouse - it's that easy.

a.

Awesome, food was amazing and stuff were great!!

K.

Great food. Excellent value

C.

I've had lots of good times here, pokies friendly, but been told ill never be a local

R.

Lunch Meal was fine, window seat, look over to sea, very nice

M.

Great, decent sized, tasty pub meals & friendly staff. Had one staff member to look after a table of 20 and did a great job the whole night. Only downside was as we were last table of the night they had shut the coffee machine down.

B.

Neither good or bad, Mornington Taphouse sits right in the middle as far as ratings go. The food - Blue Cod was nice, but the pieces were the smallest I've ever seen, and as for the salad, it looked like it had gone swimming in dressing before being put on the plate. The menu too said that the Cod came with Malt Vinegar, but instead it came with Tartare. The dessert though not huge was a reasonable $9 and was quite tasty.

L.

Oh my gosh, we came here for a late lunch. The coffee was delicious.. and hot. Best mocha my husband has found in Dunedin. We got the ploughmans lunch and battered chips. The chips were crispy golden on the outside, melt in the mouth soft on the inside with chipotle aioli for a dipping sauce. Ploughmans lunch had crispy pickles, salty kalamata olives and beautiful creamy cheeses. The cold cuts were plentiful and thinly sliced, perfect for gracing the flat bread and crostini to top with juicy sun dried tomato. The quantities were very generous and the staff were fabulous, friendly and helpful. We were already planning our next visit as we left.

J.

Awesome staff and great hospitality, we turned up without a reservation on a Wednesday afternoon for a gathering of 15-20 people after a funeral, we were made to feel welcome, the meals were awesome and that deck on a warm sunny day was a perfect spot. Cheers guys!

K.

Had a great meal, all 4 of us enjoyed what we had. Lovely view and very friendly waitress. Would definitely eat here again.

D.

Loved the atmosphere and the staff were lovely. Really nice food, fast service. Will definatly be going back

L.

Popped in or a quick drink and stayed for a meal. Great beer selection, tasty quick meal and great service. We'll be back for dinner soon.

B.

Came here to top up my liquid laundromat key, staff were nice and friendly. Looked like an awesome place to have dinner

M.

Went for drinks and dinner as a group of about 12 including children. I dine at a lot of different restaurants and didn't have expectations of wonderful cuisine but it was actually really decent and great value. I'd definitely return. Most main dishes are enough for two people.

K.

I am a Dunedin Local and I was very very impressed with the mornington taphouse and house they have upgraded thier restaurant area. It is truely a special space. The menus have a great selection and the food comes out quickly but it still competed with a fantastic level of care. It was busy but we still got our food in a good time frame. I got a sharing player and holy crumbs was it delicious and such good value for money!!! Highly recommend both tourists and locals check this place out!!!

N.

Service, food and atmosphere were all fantastic. Had a big group and they handled it with ease.

A.

Went for dinner on Thursday night, was seated immediately and had the most amazing service from a young lady called Shaniia. Meal was also great! Will definitely be back again

T.

Excellent service and lunch was reasonably priced. Loved the signature beef schnitzel dish with mushroom sauce, salad and fries. After this experience, I have come back and ordered the same dish x2 within two weeks. Thank you 👍.

S.

Great feed , nice staff

C.

Was lucky enough to win a waffle platter for four which is coming to the menu soon,went yesterday for brunch cannot speak highly enough of the place,the girls serving were very friendly and welcoming, coffees were great and the waffle platter oh my goodness it was divine plenty for us all and lots of choices for toppings ,bacon,maple syrup, strawberries,banana,choc sauce,berry sauce,cream,walnuts and more will definitely be going back for more.Fabulous

T.

Really good service from the lovely lady who served us, the food was delicious and filling I didnt have enough room for desert, I definitely recommend this place and I would come back again. Thanks Mornington Taphouse!

w.

been there twice this week food is beautiful. music is a bit loud but other than that highly recommend

v.

Two Wonderful Young Ladies took care of us and were nothing but AMAZING!!! Service was the best EVER! and the food was 11/10. We got the Platter for 2 there was myself and sis and our two girls....This fed us and also had leftovers!!!. Would recommend the Restaurant to ANYONE wanting value for money. And to the Two lovely young ladies...Keep doing the wonderful job you both do. Our first impression of you both is a wonderful one!!!. Thank you both, We will definitely be back soon 😎🙂🙂

M.

G.

Amazing food, atmosphere and staff. Schnitzel was delicious and well priced. Looking forward to returning

E.

All food was very high quality. We had a large group and place wasn't quite set up for us, despite booking ahead. Service fell down a bit after the main course.

K.

Fabulous food, fantastic company! Enjoyed a huge meal and a few quiet wee drinkies on a cold and wet Tuesday. I could not fault the entire team at the Mornington Tav. From the super friendly bar staff to the very accommodating wait staff. Would recommend the Mornington Tavern and Fat Harry’s Restaurant to anyone. Can’t wait to bring the family back!!

b.
