Reviews of The Phoenix
D. S.Our reserved table was clean, our Server pleasant, our Order quick and presented well. My Prawn Salad was perfect and my friends were pleased with their choice too. Almost endless Wine List. Nice. Highly recommended.
T.Great food, great service, ordered the sirloin steak which was perfectly juicy and rich in taste and when paired with the red wine jus, was just full of flavour and exploded in the mouth. The chips and chutney were a great pairing with hot and crunchy chips cooling down out with the cold chutney. The chocolate desert was overly rich but mixing with the marscapone made it just perfect and palatable. Love the place
C. V.Loved the experience we had at The Phoenix. The staff we’re friendly, accommodating & funny. Ambience is great too! Food-wise, I can’t complain! I love every bite I had, even the dessert! My partner and I we’re extremely happy with everything.
R. D.My boyfriend and I had a fabulous time at The Phoenix last Thursday night.
Despite them being busy we were looked after very well by our waiter Niraj. We started with yummy cocktails made by Sara.
Not only did they taste great they were garnished beautifully.
The food was delicious I had the Lamb Rack and my boyfriend had Sirloin steak cooked to our liking, served with hearty veggies and salad,generous servings.
We were so impressed. The standard of food is top notch, compliments to the Chef, she's nailed it!
Highly recommend The Phoenix.
Looking forward to our next visit 😇🍸
E. L.Went here on the 1st with the in-laws for dinner, the menu was varied and full of very appetizing options and they had a very decent drinks list for gastro-pub style dinning.
There weren't a lot of vegetarian options but there was at least one item from each mains selection that would do. I ordered the vegetarian burger and it was well presented and extremely delicious, with a good size serve of chips!
Only giving 4 stars as the table service was a bit below the standard - they seemed to be low on staff and working very hard to try and get to every table, but not quiet succeeding.
There was also a pretty big mistake made on one of the orders, however the staff where very apologetic and re-made the meal for free, they even through in a complimentary ice cream!
I will definitely come here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a friend.
N. T.My kids rated them 100 out of 10 :-). They loved the kids burger meal. I got a bit of a disappointing steak, very tough, hubby ordered the same thing and his was perfect. He swapped me and just ate it. Probably not the restaurants fault, just me being unlucky. I will be back to give it another go for sure
A. C.Really nice place to eat , but expensive , I had the fish and chips at just short of $30 loads of chips but for the money more fish on the plate would of been good but fresh . The chocolate dessert made up for it . Very busy around 5 pm and didn't seem any leadership in the waiting staff .
C.My partner and I stopped in at The Phoenix for dinner just a week ago. We ordered some Fried Chicken, a Chicken and Cranberry Pizza and the Pork Burger. The food was okay, nothing amazing, but filled us up. We found the service to be very average - we waited 45 minutes for our entree, an hour for our mains. The staff member that served us explained how the kitchen was frustrated at them, so they did not want to ‘call our table away’ when we had finished our entree, and they instead asked another staff member to deal to our table. It wouldn’t be our first choice for a dinner out again. The venue is nice and location is great, however.
R. S.It's a rare treat that 4 diners are delighted by the meals they order. We were at the Phoenix. The lamb was the best I've had in years. And we had a very pleasant attentive and unpretentious waitress.
R. P.Great service, food, views, warm outside heating... I'll be back😉
R. C.Just one of 2nd best place I would definitely go back. They serve the food really well either solo or in groups. I have not tried all their food varieties, however, one of my favourites was the calamari and Seafood platter. Just really taste so good and soft. Clap clap to that. I would definitely recommend this place. The staff are really handy and making sure that their customers are well served. So hands up to your hardwork. ^-^
C. A.Service was quick and great staff positivity. We had the share plates. They were good sized portions and very well presented. Beers were poured correctly and wine was crisp. Overall a great experience and we will come back for sure.
E.Absolutely loved the food and service! I had seafood chowder and my partner the ribs. He said it’s the best ribs he ever had and I was very impressed with the chowder! Come highly recommend!
S. H.Great service and wonderful mains.. the dessert I chose tho was not. I looked at it and was going to laugh! It was so utterly deconstructed, they missed the tart completely . It was literally sauce with a few biscuits crumbs thrown on top with a flourish of some sort of herb. Disappointing end to a scrumptious meal .
T. T.Excellent food, very nice service we will be back! Thank you👏👍👏
M. S.Excellent service. Very courteous and smiling Sara. We were a big crowd but Sara managed the orders with ease. Great food. Would love to visit again. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A. P.Young Indian lady serving us for breakfast was rude and didn’t really interact at all didn’t use her manners or anything, we would say what we wanted and she would just say nothing and take it down and not really understand what we were saying, the system they use takes for ages using there iPads and doesn’t really allow staff to interact with customers but just looking down at a iPad this is all before we had the food. Change review up one star as food was really good.
T.Great food, great drinks great service and terrific live music.
J. F.Beautiful service, top notch quality! Poppa Smerf had eye filet, Mumma Smerf had thee Salmon salad! Highly recommend the lamb! Absolutely satisfied thanks Chef.
Fun gorgeous cocktails to top it off! 😍
J.Excellent night out. Best steak I've had for ages. Tasted outstanding and cooked to perfection. Great company
O. T.Had dinner here on Friday evening. Food was average and took over an hour to come out. I had a salad which was missing a key element of the dish. When my partner mentioned this they gave a 2 dollar discount... We were never asked if we would like more drinks and service was lacking.
A. T. D.Excellent service, delicious food, friendly staff, food arrived quickly, there was good vegan options and a good all round atmosphere. Would come back here again!
P. K.Nice venue near the waterfront in Tauranga. Beer themed, but at lunchtime it seemed a lot like a restaurant. I should be more specific, it's craft beer themed. Seems to be targeted at the "not all beer tastes the same" demographic.
The vegetarian burger was tasty and it was a decent size, as it was lunchtime I didn't try the beer.
Nice staff and facilities, heading into "a bit pricey" territory.
S. B.Had a Beautiful breakfast here before heading to Thames. It was amazing, the service was exceptional and their beer board was awesome. Would highly recommend stopping in here.
R. W.We'd noticed that this is easily the busiest eatery in Tauranga, and because of the crowds it took us awhile to try it. Once we did, though, we liked it. Something about it feels very club-like. I think people like to make it their place and meet their friends here; so it has a very social and festive atmosphere. We very much enjoyed our fish burgers and beer, and in spite of the crowds the service was fine. We'd come back again.
B. M.As you see from the photo the food looked amazing and tasted just as good. The staff member serving us was definitely an asset to their team. Even modifying a drink to our liking 👍
H.The Service was great, fast and left me impressed! The waiter was nice and polite and allowed for a pizza to be ordered that wasn't even on the menu. The Pizza's were great value and the pizzas were all amazing! The toppings for the pizzas were very generous! One of the better pizzas I have had in a long while.
M.Beautiful location. Has an indoor and outdoor area. Great beer selection and good happy hour that includes margaritas! I loved the decorations and the way the place was set up. I will definitely be returning!!
E. c.Would give it 4 stars if it wasnt so overpriced. Dont get me wrong food is decent. Pubish burgers with plenty of beer options. Pizza is also available. Nice view and environment.
Look for their weekly specialals, makes the experience better as you end up paying less than their regular prices. We went on a Thursday with 18$ burgers(yes thats their special price!)
A. A.Good but expensive. Very expensive! I liked the ambience and the location - nice view of the lake but the food was just ok for quite substantial prices. Our server was lovely even though she was new there.
H. M.We tried a new Brew recommended by the lovely barman and we were very happy with his choice. Also we had the delicious Calamari strips and beer batter fries, happy with the price, service, cleanliness, location, and the loo was immaculate. Well done, we will be back again 😁😁
L. W.Superb service from the staff and our waiter, Tyler was awesome too! We loved our vegetarian pizza and kumara fries. Great flavors and will definitely come back again for another meal.
B.I have eaten the lamb cutlets @ Phoenix for years and this way my meal yesterday. We have always had a good meal here and came two nights in a row on this visit as we are always treated as friends.
S.Very nice atmosphere and good food. The live music makes this place feel very warm. The Tex Mex pizza is a great combination that I'd never have thought of. My only complaint is that this restaurant is a bit expensive, $11 for a pint, $15 for wedges and $25 for a pizza (though a very nice pizza) seems a little much.
S. F.New menu??? Seems like it’s a bit different..... had a great meal tonight, kids menu was still the same which is fantastic mini steak and mini cheese burgers for kids, adults had fish and chips, steak with mushroom sauce and I had beef check with hummus very yummy will totally order it again!!! Nice staff.
P. D.A pretty average night the drinks were really good. There was one really amazing young girl that took really good care of us. Food pretty average won't be rushing back in a hurry.
C.Would have given it 5* but one of the girl servers really let the place down as her attitude was disgusting. She really shouldn’t be working in a public facing role - beyond rude. The food, however, was amazing.
P.Great food but a little too noisy if your wanting have a function there.
E. J.Firstly: the food. Amazing. I'd been told the food was great but still didn't expect it to be as good as it was.
The pork belly bites are so well cooked and presented - just the right amount of bbq sauce so it's not too sweet, with apple sauce and radish to cut through the sweetness.
The anti-pasta is just as good, 3 types of cheese, 3 types of biscuits, 2 types of olives, plus more including a mini wagu steak!
Drinks are excellent and the staff can tell what will complement what (and not just wines too! Local beers and ciders too!)
10/10
J. A.Great food and service. Sergio was our waitet and super friendly. The food was amazing, as was the dessert.
D.Great food. Good service
T. C.This place takes the cake.. or i should say donut! After experiencing a horrible dinner at a restuarant in the area. We did a quick google to find somewhere to save the evening for my fathers birthday. The Phoenix popped up and was in walking distance. The staff are lovely at the bar. The desserts were gorgeous and if i could give them 10 stars for their hot chocolates i would! Definitely going to head back here next for dinner and to try more of the dessert menu!
t. m.Came in for brunch with my fiancee and 4 year old daughter, was met at the door and seated at a table with quick service. Even had some colouring and puzzles for my daughter to entertain herself. Eggs Benedict and French toast were very tasty and served quickly, will be back again
S.We received a friendly welcome from the staff, the atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Would certainly recommend a visit and can’t wait to go back again, thanks for a great time!!
F. G.We both ordered the eye filet off the menu, very short wait time. The food was fantastic! Possibly the best steak I've ever had and the whole meal was just fantastic. We had a slight issue with the charges on the bill but it was resolved fast with no fuss. Loved it team, we will be back when we're in town 😀
C. L.Me and some family members came here for snacks and drinks. The cocktails were great. We ordered the antipasto and the ultimate pizza. Arrived in great time. And were both amazing. Onion rings on the pizza was awesome as we love them! Only one issue. No knives were provided for the antipasto so we used the pizza slice to cut the cheeses.
K. B.This place is a must when going to Tauranga! Highly recommend!! Had the best weekend ever with our family, and amazing food and great banter!! Owners were so friendly and will definitely be coming back!!! Staff were super professional and accomodating and made everything easier for us and our twin babies and our disabled son.
L.Nice beers, great bar snacks, beautiful outlook. Responsive, lovely staff (we were served by the two lovely short (in a cute way:) ladies🙏🤗😍
S.Visited for the 1st time and last few Sunday's for the live music & a drink followed by dinner. Tried the lamb cutlets the 1st week, a steak the 2nd. Both hit the mark. Saw the Sunday roasts going out, will be trying that next week looked pretty good for $20. The courtyard area was warm with people laughing, so all in all a good outing.
A.Wonderful food.. service is on point.. location good for a night out.. would definitely go back
A.We enjoyed a lovely meal on Christmas Eve, the calamari and spring salad was outstanding, and great meatlovers pizza, excellent service. Highly recommend.
T. S.Cool place on the Strand.
Came here for a Sunday breakfast while staying in Tauranga. Really nice place to dine on a sunny morning.
Staff were friendly and efficient and the food and coffee was great. I had Eggs bene with a side of Hash Brown - the hash browns were nice and decent value for money.
I could see how this is a popular place for lunch, dinner and drinks.
Enjoyed my breakfast here and will be back next time I am in town.
J. W.beer is nice. Chips is no different from fish and chips shop, which is disappointing. Beef salad is tasty.
T. S.What an awesome experience we had at The Phoenix the other night! The food was amazing! Our eye fillets were cooked to perfection, well seasoned and melted in your mouth 😍 Oh and the burger was also amazing, the bun was the best I have ever had! and trust me I've had plenty! And to top that off, the service was second to none, the little Maria was just so friendly, tentative, quick and just lovely! My favourite restaurant in Tauranga by far! Good job team! 👏
M.We went to the Phoenix for Sunday drinks and had a great time. There was great live music, the food was good and the staff were great. Going back for Melbourne Cup!
C.Fantastic food. Great service. Nice evening. Thank you
V. H.Great location, waterfront. Beers and drinks are good, friendly staff.
L. R.Very good place to eat. Amazing value for money with the best pizza in Tauranga. Waiting staff not amazingly efficient though, able to forget about you for 15 minutes after giving you the bill then getting annoyed that I got up and paid at the register. Recommend the tex-mex pizza.
P. G.Wonderful experience 😍 We came from Hamilton and booked the table prior for my husband’s birthday dinner date. I asked them for the special arrangements to surprise my husband and Sara did an amazing job👏🏻 . She did more than what I expected. Thank you so much Sara 😊 Highly recommend this place for amazing food and service 😊
R.Loved the food n fabulous service with smile by the waitress Sarah.
T. M. R.My experience was only average. I have moved to Tauranga recently and I asked for a recommendation to go for a date night with my husband. The Phoenix was given the best review from my new work colleagues. We were there on a Wednesday so we ordered the Special for the day, $20 steak meal. I understood that the steak were smaller and I requested my piece to be raw. Unfortunately, it was medium. My husband ordered his to be medium but his steak looked raw. We were going to swap but we also ordered different sauces. So, I think the orders were messed up and I was going to mention it to the staff but, no one came to us to check of we liked our meals before our plates were taken away. It's a nice place but that service and food was only average.
E.Took ages to get some chips and aioli.
Staff were friendly and Heineken was available.
Food was yummy, worth the wait.
A.Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner out. The staff were so funny and easy to get along with.... the food devine. Will def be back next time we are in TGA
J. B.This restaurant was so good that we visited it for lunch two days in a row. A group of six mature women had a delightful reunion on Friday 9 July, thanks to the service and the food. We returned as a group of seven the following day. One of the group has coeliacs and was very impressed with the number and range of meals she could choose from. We all enjoyed our food and experience. We will return when we next visit Tauranga.
V.A MUST TO DO IN TAURANGA!!! This place exceeded our expectations. A great place not only to hang out but to take wonderful memories back home is what they offer. Our host was bubbly Maria. They ran out of main ingredient for cocktail I wanted and I just told her to ask bartender to be creative as I was looking something refreshing to my palate! I was amazed with ‘creativity’! The calamari was nothing like I have ever eaten in New Zealand, the garlic pizza bread if not better but certainly competed with a good Italian place. After entrée mum and I decided to go for lighter options so that we could try have something for our sweet tooth and ordered tacos, and chicken schnitzel. We couldn’t believe when those small dishes were our lunch for next day 😅!
And how can we forget to thank team for looking after our Maltese baby who enjoyed the bun after being on road all day!
K. F.Great service and food, friendly helpful staff. The steak was cooked how I like (medium) and veges were fresh. We had a group of 11 and we were well looked after. Would recommend.
P.Very nice, staff good. Live music could be turned down a bit, hard to hear conversation.
G.Very good customer service, price a little high than other similar resto in the area
T. M.Your servers Maria and Liarna deserve a big raise. They went above and beyond for our table on my birthday, we were really blown away with their service. Food was great, I loved my prawn and scallop salad but the service is what will be bringing us back again! Thanks girls 🥰🥰
V. S.Our two kids and I really enjoyed our meals here. The kid's meals are great. Service was friendly and fast. My husband wasn't overly keen on the Mexican pizza he ordered unfortunately. Overall a great dining experience.
K.Super helpful and friendly staff with great recommendations, food was delicious! Amazing experience
D. J.Great place with fantastic food. Nice outdoor seating with water view.
A.Food was excellent, me and my partner love it and will definitely come back next time.
R.Good food lots of flavour and outstanding service. Worth the visit
I.Absolute top restaurant and a real credit to the staff and owners. In my opinion it's our top restaurant in Tauranga.
Always warm and welcoming with indoor or outdoor dining. The food is beautifully presented with aromas and flavors that match the eye appeal.
Highly recommend The Phoenix.
b. d.A great pub/resturant with a great outlook over the inner Tauranga harbour. Excellent menu and now under new managment, 2 years into it now.
K. M.Had dinner here staff were lovely, atmosphere was nice! Food was a good size! Steak was cooked perfect but maybe just needed a little more flavour, the mushroom sauce was lovely!! Would definitely go back :)
S. K.Had a wonderful stack night dinner here for my birthday out with my family. However sat for 15-20mins after finishing eating our food and no one cleared our tables. People around us tables got cleared but none came to us and we had a young baby who started to get restless so we had to just get up and leave with out having dessert which we were wanting but no one came to clear plates or ask if we wanted it. Very disappointed with the service with the yummy food you have here. I would come back for the food but not the service we were given
D. S. C.Craft beer, live music, good food, amazing staff, ambience is excellent right opposite beautiful sea view. Value for money. One of the best bars in downtown Tauranga. Highly recommend.
A. B.Table for five. Only two of us finished our meal. It was ok. Nice place. Our table server was friendly. Good range of drinks. Good was plentiful. Big portions. It wasn't bad but not as good as the prices suggested. Would go back for a drink but I'll eat before I go
N. M.I had the Sunday Roast...
AMAZING..why??🤔
In my opinion. The perfect roast accompanied by the PERFECT... GRAVY...
THATS the AMAZING..WOW factor...😋
Wait there is more...🤗
Apple and pear crumble... Chef..top Mark's.. you make the ordinary into...extrondinary !
Bouquet goes out to you chef ! 💐
A.Great food. good setting. loved the prawn pizza.
good beer and staff. recommend to go here
N.Great food. Highly recommended tex mex pizza. Great staff Great location
T.Amazing service and amazing meal. Will be back when in Tauranga again
t.Great service, great food, great bevvys, thanks team Phoenix 😁
J. G.Awesome staff great atmosphere and some great vegan options including...DESERT!! Yup we were happy. We were looked after by Maria and she was bright cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu. Very pleasant experience.
H. S.We enjoyed friendly service, our sweets and hot chocolate👍
j. c.Popped in for a quiet Sunday afternoon snack, as from out of town and wanted something to eat before driving home. Was over visiting family and they recommended the Phoenix. From the moment I arrived with my family the staff were fantastic, very happy to help and very efficient. Comfortable seating in the "booth area". Despite the miserable day outside, was a warm atmosphere, not only with the standard of staff, but also heaters going to really warm the place up. Ordered the Phoenix pizza from the menu, with the cranberry sauce, and it tasted even better than the menu suggested. Best pizza have ever had. Full credit to the team. Fantastic service all around and full compliments to the kitchen team as well. Keep up the awesome effort guys.
P. M.I loved the phoenix pizza it was enough for 2 people and was filling. Out door seats with sun umbrellas which looked out on to Tauranga waterfront. The only downside was having to share the area with smokers. The service was good and the staff friendly. This was somewhere I would return to but perhaps sit inside away from the smoking.
L. A.Had breakfast there this morning. Great service. Loved the food. And staff made sure my visit was not only pleasurable, but also made sure I was comfortable. Staff were full of smiles which also makes a huge difference. Fully recommend.
S.Top steak, perfect cocktail for the lady, great service
m.Great service and meal
m.Really classy and casual. Beautiful food. Absolutely would recommend ordering a cocktail here because its worth every penny. The view of the strand is beautiful. The staff are nice and quick. The girls and boys working here look really nice and presentable, nice uniformed staff presentation. Specials are really yummy. Booking a table is sassle free. I really love this restaurant.
H.Pleasantly surprised by the taste, quality of the meat could be better. Definitely recommended.
H. M.Nice part of the Strand to sit outside. Good value food. Staff are pleasant.
E.Had a lovely meal with family here without prebooking a table just walked in off the street. Was seated straight away and had lovely service from a waitress who had a very knowledgeable understanding of the wine on the menu as to which wines complemented which meals. The Food was Amazing cooked to perfect and arrived in a timely manner from when we order even with a full restaurant. We indulged in the desert menu and was very surprised with the total cost of the evening out being very reasonably priced for such high class service and excellent food and wine.
B. W.While we are always nervous when trying a new place - and often disappointment - the food and staff at the Phoenix were awesome. This is why we go out and pay good money - a nice Saturday morning outing. Many thanks to the team - very professional and friendly.
R.I went to The Phoenix for lunch with my friends and we had the chicken burger. It was just amazing. Not a long wait, perfect cooked and the service was excellent, cant wait to go again with my family. Definitely recommend.
b.So good and fast and very good staff that are understanding.
Thank you phoenix place
Z.Love the flight of beers and the pork beer was awesome!
R. a. K. S.We recently celebrated my mothers 90th birthday at this venue. We cannot praise the team and venue highly enough. Even though we had an initial hiccup with one of the party having mechanical issues and had to change the eating time (and they were extremely busy at the time) nothing was a problem. They just could not do enough to ensure our experience was an enjoyable one. Thank you Ralph and the rest of the team, especially the waitress assigned to our table, for making this day a memorable occasion.
S. T.Good selection of options with friendly staff and food is executed well.
C. G.Love the Phoenix great ambiance which the owners have created. When they are in town the owners that is I always message to see if they can join our group of friends for a social drink and catch up. Its great to have a laugh or two especially after the hard times. Love the Sunday live music and the great food
C. P.Best service ever from Dan! My family came out to celebrate my Mum’s and Aunties birthday & Dan went above and beyond to make sure we had a good night. Fantastic waiter, makes us want to come back again!
Food was awesome too & plenty of gluten-free options. Great place to go for any kind of celebration ☺️
M.Excellent service and the food was delicious. Thank you Rogin. Give our best to the chef. We really enjoyed our dinner tonight.
A. K.Good food very quick service even as there was a big dinner party going on. Staff are fabulous, allowed us to taste some beers before we ordered.
Yummy food.
O. Z.Best restaurant on the strand. Great cocktails!!! Good vibe and really really good food. Highly recommend for a birthday party and other events where you want to invite a mix of family and friends and everyone enjoys a good time. Recommend booking a table cause this place is busy because its really good.
B.My dad and I came in for breakfast one more. He got the pumpkin pancake and I got the salmon waffle. Both were great! I loved the hot smoked, in house salmon that they served, and his was loaded with goodies. The coffee was good, but the service was a bit slow. All in all, great breakfast option if you're in this part of Napier.
L. Y.Great ambience, comfy seats, good temperature & music. Food was healthy, tasty, delicious & served with a smile. They made a table available for us without a booking as we were early. Only wish we could have stayed longer or had reserved a time.
L.Wow what a FABULOUS night. My husband and I walked down the Main Street of the strand just looking for a place to have a drink and got super ‘wowed’ from the Phoenix. This place was by far the busiest place in the street, it was packed but we tried our luck anyway. We met our waitress Mackenzie who organised us a spot outside and got our drinks on the way. We only intended on staying for a drink but she mentioned the burger deal for the night so what ended up being one drink turned into dinner and drinks. Couldn’t fault her service or any of the other staff that were working. We will definitely be back. Could even say our new local.
S. P.A party of 5 adults we found this place exceptional. From the online booking to the follow up call from Shania to confirm, to the beautiful food that included catering for a vegetarian and a gluten free diner, everything was perfect. Fantastic service from our waiter Dan, a real credit to your company. Thank you so much to you all including your great chefs.
C. H.We won a valentines dinner! We felt like we were treated like VIP'S and could see that everyone else was too. The wardens are friendly and caters to your needs and wants. The atmosphere is awesome. The food is mouth watering delicious. Definitely highly recommend. Thanks team, keep up the great work!
D.Food is actually great and the staff too..
S. t. B.My sister and I ordered the Blue cheese, Pear and Walnut pizza . But couldn't taste any of the blue cheese which we both love . Definitely thought it was just gets and no blue cheese . Was told that it was a house made blue cheese and feta . Had some kumara chip as well which was lovely . Very delicious . Just a bit disappointed that we couldn't taste that blue cheese . Other than that awesome place would still go there again 😁
P. p.The food is amazing here, the service is great and I recommend the food. Rhea the chef serves a great pork belly bites with curly chip, aioli and sauce. Get down here pees. Recommend these little porkers.
S. C.Hey Phoenix! Looking at the numbers visiting your establishment and your media sites you are clearly one of the most popular places in Tauranga/Bay of Plenty. We own a bar up north and were recommended to you by friends we meet up with. You did not disappoint from the ambience with drinks in the sun, friendly banter followed by great steaks all round. The challenge is not that you have made through years of changes but that you made through Covid, keep it up!
a. d.5 July 20/20
We arrived few minutes before dinner was ready to kick off and were greeted by a young man who appeared to be in charge. He was amazing all throughout the night! The food was also perfect. Our only complaint was with the live music outside, bit too loud.
S.Just had a surprisingly amazing vegan lasagna! I was a bit on the fence about it but Maria assured me that "you'll love it!" and indeed I did.
D.The Phoenix is without doubt my favourite place to go in Tauranga. The staff are always attentive, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the beef salad and Tex Mex pizza. Nothing beats sitting out the front with
a pint of Golden and looking out onto the water. Cannot wait to go back when I return to Tauranga.
s. B.Service was great, seats were a bit worst for wear. Food was ok. I ordered the eye fillet and took around 45mins to get. Food looked nice but tasted a bit tangy so i only ate the steak and not the veges. All in all 4/5 stars
A. t. G. S.Attention to service, food, drinks A grade.
Attention to clientele, amazing.
Friendliest management and staff i have ever me.
I will definitely call in again when that way.
Ralph you and your staff are amazing.
12 out of 10
G. C.we had lunch here today. Very welcoming greeting. Fabulous beer and cider. Great service. Fantastic food. Nice clean property. Good atmosphere. Dean was our waiter and he was friendly, helpful - just 100% thank you. Usually when you go to a restaurant they do a good Brekkie OR a good Lunch OR a good dinner. Phoenix is one of those rare gems that does it all! The Phoenix Pizza is insanely good for lunch or dinner,
T.Great food. Very well served!! Awesome attention by Maria!! Well done guys! Sure we will be back soon from Auckland again!
K.Great Food, Beautiful Presentation
d.Service was excellent, they were very busy but kept updating us where the kitchen was at with our order. Best chicken burger I have had and prawn and salmon salad, certainly reccomend
B.This place is awesome, came here on a hot day to grab a beer with some friends. The service was great, they have friendly staff, and most of all the beer was brought to the table quickly.
I ordered the beef burger, and to say you get your moneys worth would be an understatement. The burger was quite sizable and extremely tasty. 100% recommend this place.
L.Great food and service as usual. I am a little biased having worked here as a musician for years however it is true. Ana and Ralph are hard working kiwis who have taken on many young kiwi's, Maori and non Maori as well as international workers and have helped grow them into fine young leaders. I have seen many come and leave and for the most part have left here as more experienced and well rounded adults than when they arrived. Hospitality is not an easy industry. Stress can get up easily and while most rise to the challenge, some find it overwhelming. It is here where the true character of a person is revealed. Ana and Ralph are honest, reliable and kind kiwis (some times too kind). I have seen them rise to the task of leading an often very young inexperienced team of workers looking for head start in a very challenging industry. I applaud what you do folks. Keep it up!!!
B.Lovely waiters, and delicious bar food
D.Beautiful food. Always consistent
E. L.Best customer service I experienced on my road trip through both islands. Great food and drink selection, staff were friendly and welcoming but professional. Sam was our waitress and she made our experience from just being an awesome venue to a great night out for us. Thanks for making our last night together as a group so lovely!
C.Amazing chefs!!! My steak was cooked to perfection..exactly how i asked.. Fabulous ambience, helpful lovely staff.. definitely 5 stars from us, my new fave!!!
I'm telling everyone I know 😊😊
J. W.Had an amazing experience last weekend for lunch, the food was fantastic, the atmosphere and the setting were perfect, Britney, our waitress was excellent. The table layout, for a large group was well thought out and we had a great time. Would highly recommend this establishment for anyone planning a special occasion.
A. K.Excellent food👌😋 and very friendly stuff! 👍😁
M. W.Excellent service, all staff were helpful,polite, and smiling. I was impressed by the questions about my meal during and after my meal ensuring everything went well.
Only downfall was there was no information saying my friends meal would be spicy and it came out so spicy she struggled to eat it.
But if that's all then you've done well. And the barista made hot drinks were beautiful!
V. D.First time here last night. Great atmosphere and excellent staff. Only negative comment is the 2 of us who ordered the ribs found them tender but very tasteless. Would have been awesome with some spicy sauce or sweet chilli sauce or something to give them some flavourful. Very generous serving and would definitely order again if they had some flavourful "wow"
d. p.My family and i stopped in saturday afternoon for a quick bite before going to a show, place was reasonably busy and i had heard there pork bites where a must try. The food was outstanding and the service was faultless Jacob our waiter was incredible the service we received from was the best by far i have ever had in the north island. We are looking forward to returning
B. W.Food was for the most part good but some of the flavours could be better. Service was slack and inattentive to needs of the tables.
Overall the place has a great vibe and situated on the harbour front it has great views. Will go back to see if this was a one off?
S. L.Excellent food and customer service. Bartender Marri(not sure of the spelling) was awesome. She makes mint drinks. Always friendly, smiling and good person to chat to. I've been to Phoenix many times and will continue go there.
A. S.Food was alright. But the staff were weird. Appeared at your table without saying anything and just stared at you. Would recommend the chicken and cranberry pizza with the guacamole on it, that was very nice.
H.Love this place, my favourite is the pear, Walnut and blue cheese pizza, totally yum! Very casual atmosphere with friendly staff. 8s very popular and can fill quite quickly as it has huge tv screens to watch sports, especially overseas games. Even with a big sporting match and fans cheering, you can still carry our conversations and not feel drowned out.
Went there one year in my birthday and they surprised me with a free desert and candle, and we're even willing to sing Happy Birthday!
Highly recommend The Phoenix for casual dining.
A. P.Went to this place as a work group of 20. Staff were friendly and helpful. Attentive but not in your face. Meals all came out together. Food was fantastic. Definitely revisit. Live music was a bit naff.
J.This place is amazing. The staff are very welcoming and professional. I give a 10/10 for the Phoenix
N.Lovely food, large portions, good service
R.Beef salad is popular here. The servings are generous. The staff know their chops and are very helpful.
Apparently, the lamb is precooked to medium in the afternoon so it's impossible to order lamb rare.
The pasta and meatballs were OK but the pasta unsalted. Salad was better.
Limited range and small choice of craft beers.
Noisy but festive. Very centrally located.
d. m.overpriced for what you get, and I've never been asked to hand over a credit card before your order would be taken - is this a local thing, anyway wont be back.
I see Ralph the Director has replied, focused on beverage pricing, no mention of dining - which was what I was originally commenting on. I didnt experience the credit card handover requirement in Auckland.
J. S.Great food, friendly staff. Thanks for having the kitchen open at 9pm at night when everyone else was closed. The cocktails were superb!
S.Been here many, many times, and the staff are always great. Service is always amazing, food really good. If I could make a suggestion, I'd like a burger I could pick up and eat, but that's not to knock the place.
Love it.
S.Not only great food & paced nicely throughout the night but we had the pleasure of Amelia's friendly service all night...thank you
T.Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Had a great meal here - highly highly recommended!
B. B.Enjoyed our evening here. Sat outside w fab cocktail. Went inside for pizza which was delicious and then went outside to share dessert and have a coffee. Good ambience. Wait staff attentive and helpful. A very nice evening which we hope to do again.
r.Good food nice atmosphere and not loud
J. M.Honestly the best place you’ll come across in Tauranga, whether its for brunch, lunch, dinner, a good ol pizza or sharing a few beers with the lads enjoying some of the awesome live music. Best food, great beers, amazing staff, good vibes all around! Can always look forward to an outing at The Phoenix! Cheers team!
T.We had a great meal and the service was excellent.
The waitress kept an eye on our table and anticipated what we needed. It was some of the best service we have had.
The meals were also very good. We enjoyed the antipasto platter which was a great way to start for seven people.
K. B.We had brunch here with a walk in group of 15 people. They accomidated our needs without hesitation. The service was attentive and the food hot and delicious. We would definitely return again.
A. R. S. L.Sunday Afternoon, this was the only restaurant that had quite a few patrons so thought it must be good as it was a cold day! Ordered the fish of the day! Harpuka, it was awesome, partner ordered a steak and he is hard to please, he could not find fault he loved it, credit to chef Talor! Will come again, great atmosphere, nice and warm, all the staff were attentive, could not fault.
C. S.This is a great place for a meal! The service is quick and the meals are ready in great time, faster than most places I've been to. The meals are large and really well cooked. The prices are great with most meals averaging around $20.00. I totally recommend The Phoenix!!
G.I took mum here for lunch today. It was great. The staff were very professional and friendly, lovely and warm inside and the food was delish. We will visit again for sure :)
C. M.Had a lovely meal here the other night with some friends - excellent food thanks to Dan and his kitchen team. The staff were all friendly and very helpful 🙂
A.Great food always great company, great staff, its our local
C. P. (.Solid and reliable pub, an ideal piece to meet up with people. Staff have always been of a high standard since it opened, very capable and friendly. There's no good reason not to start your night here.
R. B.Great coffee, we were a walk in of 15 and they weren't fazed. The food came out pretty quick considering how many were there. Really good coffee and a lovely relaxed place
I.Excellent ribs and a couple of beers 🍻
C.I visited from out of town on a Sunday, ordered the Sirlion Steak with Mushroom sauce cooked to perfection medium rare with a yummy salad & chips. To cap it off Shania the young waitress was very helpful. A local band The Anzacs started to play very relaxing music that just made the day so relaxing.
Medium
V.Lovely cocktail had the special and fried calamari was good, Sara who was serving us absolutely fabulous very polite and pleasant
A.Excellent food and service, loved the menu. Had to take a star off as the place was so loud - it is more of a pub and the noise ruined the experience for us.
J. B.I seen a valentines special advertised on Facebook and thought it was time to try the Phoenix again as was dissatisfied a couple of years ago when it was taken over. We were not disappointed. The food was awesome and great service. I would definitely recommend going and trying it yourself.
J.Six of us had dinner at Phoenix. The sqid for the entrees was so very tender and my main of
beef (hot fillet) salad with crunchy deep fried Camembert cheese was yum yum. Great value too.
Will be going back. Judy P
M. C.Went for the first time when I went down to Tauranga and the food was amazing. The pizza and the salad was phenomenal!
Such a shame I cannot find anything like this is Auckland for the price, portions and taste.
Z. M.Great service. Really good menu options. Served with beautiful presentation.
Spacious interior. Had the pork belly main, generous portion and delish
J.Went here a few weeks ago, very lovely place excellent staff and service. The food was amazing! Definitely will be referring people here!
K.This place is usually packed out, pays to make a booking! The staff are so attentive. The food is fantastic!
G. H.Accommodating with menu (brunch had closed but allowed us to still order) reasonably priced good atmosphere and I loved the lights
J.$20 for a half portion worth of mediocre fish and chips (and little salad), pointlessly served on a cutting board instead of a plate. Friendly staff. 2 hour free WiFi, good 15x15mbps.
K. G.Great service and breakfast. Good value, well presented. We will be back. Recommend the eggs Benedict and the big breakfast. The banana waffles looked great too!
D. O.Wife and I stopped in for a night cap. She really enjoyed the toblerone cocktail, I enjoyed my whiskey old fashioned. Can't comment on food.
M. S.Probably most happening place in mount.. everything else was quite. Good pizza.. but ordered curly fries and got less curly fries.. not even size of regular fries.. very small pieces.. looked like last remaining part feom the frying grill.
L. M.Yum.. Shared a pizza and bucket of onion rings.... So nice.. Staff were really good with the kids... No colour books like other places and I didn't have my spare so that was the only down.. Over all great
B. F.Great food and the price is on point. Great to find a place that serves proper pints also. Combine these with great staff, sports showing on the tvs (cricket world cup currently on) and you won't be disappointed
T. H.Called into the Pheonix for the first time tonight for an early dinner must say we were very impressed!.Very nice layout has a beer/fire fighters theme which was pretty neat.Our waitress was super friendly and helpful think she may have been Australian cant remember her name though.Had the lamb rack which was a very well put together dish,nicely presented and cooked to perfection!.We all left pretty pleased and will be back when over the bridge next.
J.Great atmosphere, very nice service and awesome food! Recommend to anyone!
J.The Phoenix on the Strand Tauranga, my local for many years now, Monteiths beer, well Cellared consistently excellent. Wide range of food, freshly cooked, extensive menus. Family friendly with plenty for the kid's and Parents alike. Lovely staff who look after you at every turn. Heidi, Paige, Tiffany, Jesse to name a few. Under new Management at present. highly recommended establishment.
A.Been a while since i have been to the Phoenix and i must say i was impressed.The staff seemed pretty on to it and very friendly,the food came out fast and was presented well and tasted great.In all it was a great afternoon and we will definitely be back to try the Sunday roast.
G.Generally good . Ok music sundaymusic. Nice place
P.The service was amazing. The place was packed and we had little to no wait for our meals. The food was delicious. But the service - that made our night.
L.Good atmosphere. Choice of tap beers. Nice food in a range of prices. Included some tasty seafood options. Entrees, burgers, pizzas, salads and mains.
L. J.Went for a light lunch - pork belly pizza was shared by three people. Was very tasty. Service was neutral - brought the food and drink promptly.
G.A+++ Valentines day! The staff were amazing from the beginning to the end! You definitely stand out in Tauranga for your exceptional hospitality. The food was delicious the timing was a breeze even with a full house.Thank you!!
J. A.Phoenix is a regular go to for lunch meetings, taking customers out, after work drinks, etc. You can always count on the food quality and service. Great location, view and atmosphere. Also lots of specials and events. It has also been one of the longest staying places on the Strand which sees new restaurants popping up all the time which says a lot.
S.Nice place, but like everywhere in Tauranga is a bit quiet considering it's a Friday night. Not marking it down for that - everywhere seems to be like that in Tauranga these days - but for out of towners it's worth noting. It has a late license but doesn't stay open super late unless there are enough people there to justify it (again cannot really fault then for that). Good beer selection, friendly staff and the manager made sure there were no hassles when we needed to move from the side to the front because they were closing up the side - he was clearly making an effort to ensure that we were enjoying our night and that always counts for a lot.
E.Had a really nice cocktail there and we were there while the Jazz Festival was on so it was a lot of fun
A.I enjoy the vibe The Phoenix offers and the mix of both locals and travelers. With a raised outside area, The Phoenix offers a quint essential Kiwi experience with outside tables in a heated covered area which is ambient and inviting. Inside there are both tables for larger groups or smaller intimate tables to meet your occasion. Outside there are areas where you can enjoy the sunshine by day or enjoy people watching at night.
B.Great environment.
It’s near the east coast of USA but awesome vibe
l. s.Took the hubby and daughter out for dinner Saturday night to the phoenix and everything was terrific the chicken breast was to die for and the hubbys burger was MASSIVE, but the service is what did it for me Jacob looked after us incredibly always checking in on us without being to much in your face could answer any question we threw at him and talk about his million dollar service with a smile we will be returning.
A.Good food, great setting, but let down by it's poor beer selection. Being tied to Monteith's means it can't compete with other bars if craft beer is your thing.
M.Fantastic steak meal! Very reasonable price I thought. Really nice welcome and top service! I'll be back!
S.Very nice place to set and over looking the water, very nice by the fire, the food is always on par and so it the beer! Been a few times now and always great service and friendly staff.
L.Awesome food, the kids had steak and I must say, that was the best steak I’ve ever tasted on s kids menu, in fact on any menu, great services as well. Will definitely come again.
A.Nice pub on the Strand with great atmosphere. Plenty of room and good beer and wine selection. Would recommend as a good place to catch up with friends . Opposite the waterfront with downtown park for kids over the road
R.The food especially was amazing... followed by great service and good beer 👍🏾
B.Pork tenderloin is amazing! Great atmosphere and helpful staff. Very popular place, was packed on a Saturday around 630...oh and get the Montieth's sampler, you won't regret it
C.Came for a Christmas function food was delicious and a good serving size too. The chocolate and almond torte was to die for yummmmm. Although I was a little expensive highly recommend you take a visit.
c.Good food good atmosphere and good beers..
It is a bit pricy but worth it
N.Best meal out we have had for ages (and we eat out a lot). Fantastic service from Tyler! Personality and completely on to it. Highly recommend.
R.Ate dessert here with group of girlfriends. Seriously good desserts, taste and presentation and generous portions. Exceeded expectations and staff were so friendly too.
S.Best lemon lime bitters in Tauranga out of all 3 I've tried. Only 4 stars because it took forever and the guy at the door asked for everyone's ID but mine... said he "sensed" I was over 18. Come on man at least pretend I'm as young as my fresh faced friends.
b.Went out for a saturday arvo drink to the phoenix pizzas were average and fries could have being a little more crunchy however thoroughly enjoyed ourselves due to the service we received mainly from the Irish guy and the boy with tattoos i have to say in all my time i have never seen 2 males move so quickly without looking rushed or flustered and i worked hospo for 10 years and would dream of having staff like this on my team.
C.We had a quick bit to eat garlic pizza, beer batter fries and pork bites a couple of the pork bits we a bit dry but it was very tasty great food add a couple of beers great place.
D.Terrible booking mess up. Got shunned bang in front of bar coursing our table to have to keep moving for staff to pass. (felt like we were to in the way)Great food tho. Ill give them that.
A.Tasty filling food that was presented beautifully. Only dislike like was it was a long wait to get the food. Great atmosphere and lovely view.
P.A friendly inviting team in an awesome location with excellent Monteith's beer. It has a great outside area with view and heaters. Great to meet there for business or pleasure.
L. V.Nice place. The waitress are friendly, food and drinks are good. I'll Definitely come back soon
S.Came in Saturday afternoon - FOH were very friendly and accommodating and the food was delish. We, especially my 3yo, had a great time. Thank you
J. S.Good customer service and food most of the time but one of the waitresses spilt some oil from my friends meal onto her dress. But overall it was very good.
C.Great place to relax on a Sunday afternoon or have an energetic evening with friends the two nights before. They have a great steak and ale deal that's highly recommended. Ambience was great, as was the food.
L.Awesome customer service and great meals fast and easy, complements to the chief....
Recommend to anyone wanting to go out for a fine dinner
D.Great place for food with the kids despite being a pub. The waitress was so great and really refreshing to get a 'sorry, our mistake' when the food was mixed up.
Kids are free because it was a Monday. Awesome.
I. M.Great friendly service. The venue had a great vibe to it and had awesome decor. Pizzas were creative and delicious, and well priced!!

J.Amazing beverage selection, and DELICIOUS food. There was impeccable service and friendly staff, who were happy to help! Can't wait to go back!!
J.As always, great food, good beer and comfy setting.
H.Good for after works drinks. Central location. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Full bar as well as restaurant menu, but better restaurants on the strand if you want to have dinner at a restaurant.
D.Awesome food and wine. Excellent service even when you walk out without paying and go back the next day to pay. Very happy!!
T.Located on The Strand in Downtown Tauranga, The Phoenix is a great place to go for beer, wine and great food. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options, and the service is great.
R.Normally the food and service is a lot better than it was today. We sat for ages without service, then waited for drinks and food then we had to wait to pay. We had snack food and it was a bit pricey for what we had.
A.Really friendly staff and the Chef made additional effort to create GF fried chicken for me.
S.Our go to place for casual dining. Love this place, great food and very attentive staff. Just a very popular, friendly place to go.
T.Good food and beer. Wonderful service from the waitresses. They were kind and sweet! A very memorable experience!
M.A pint of beer and a cocktail costs just on $22.00 which I thought was abit expensive. Friendly staff but need more customer service training.
N.Food was good as well as the service.
J.Excellent food and service. Very pleasant venue on Tauranga waterfront. Good menu, reasonably priced, and the service was quick and attentive.

T.Very average. Menu was not as good as I remembered last time. Very loud music which was competing with people talking. Food was ok, but nothing special.
D.Ask for a decent serving of baked beans.But awesome they had them on the breakfast menu.Otherwise choice breakfast
j.The Phoenix ( Te Papa o Nga Manu Porotakataka) An ok, ongoing, in-progress multipurpose space for skaters ( concrete seating has anti skate grinding pegs inserted ), events, meets and hanging out. No wi-fi that I could find. No shade. There is a small grassy bank to sit on. Portable toilets currently, as rebuilding toilet block. Great points are; its bang in the middle of the Mount Bar Strip... next to two bars; Fire, and 8. Pilot bay is a very short distance, as is the open ocean and the Mount ( Mauao ) Events are held there like 'We run the night' with music and a good vibe. When or if Phoenix gets shade and Wi-Fi, it will be a great place.
M.Just went for a few drinks, nice atmosphere, quite popular place, near the waterfront.
J.The best burger and beer in a long time! I've been coming to The Phoenix a long time and it always impressed me.
K.Nice bar, but took half hour for a bowl of fries. I know it's busy season but it shouldn't take that long for a snack.
