Reviews of Onyx Cambridge
B.
Very awesome food, good atmosphere, great service and staff. Well set out restaurant and we didn't need a reservation. The desserts looked really yummy but I was too full to have one. Worth going to
l.
Amazing.. Great service, awesome food. Must try for sure if you are in Cambridge
g.
Lovely food, great service. I just wonder why the salad was topped with salmon when we had fish as the main course.
Also I think there were too many different elements on my plate, it almost looked like someone emptied the fridge. I realize this is currently the fashion and every restaurant does it.
O.
One of the beautiful cafe😻 Great staff, very welcoming and friendly. Our breakfast was delicious ❤️
P.
Good restaurant overall. Bit pricey at 60pp. But that's the only thing. Everything we had was top notch food, good portions. Steak, pork belly, brisket. Brule was a bit overcooked but still delicious. Good atmosphere, even though they only had 3 staff to cover the floor, was excellent service. Will be back next time we're back in town.
A.
We had a great night at your restaurant. The food was really delicious and the service was excellent too. Staff v friendly. Definitely 5 stars.
L.
Amazing place! Great service, awesome food (totally get the pizza bread with feta!) Clean, wheelchair accessible, efficient and kind. Family friendly... recommend booking as usually very busy. Parking out front if you're lucky but there's plenty of local parking. Plenty of GF options to choose from too! A++
H.
Good choice of lunch food at range of prices. Excellent service. Can always rely on Onyx for good meal. Wish they would bring back their lamb rack.
L.
As a fellow cafe owner I understand how hard it is at the moment to keep a brave face in light of the restrictions put upon us.
Always a pleasure coming to your establishment. You are doing an amazing job! Keep your head held high! This storm will ease ❤️❤️
K.
Good location.
fair prices.
Pity they don't have a cabinet for sweets cakes like they used to. Some diners may prefer that at lunchtime instead of a large dessert.
Menu needs something new, been the same a long time.
Service good. 😊
All food we've eaten here well cooked.😊 However too many pig based dishes for non pork eaters. Bacon on a lot of dishes. Be nice to have the dish with an alternative. Fish and chicken are good . Husband has enjoyed his steak.
Limited parking .
best to book can be busy.!
J.
It was the only restaurant that had a space for reservation in Cambridge on a Sat night. When we turned up, we were pleased to find the placed was busy and buzzing with great vibes! We did wait for about 30-40 mins for our mains, as we hadn't ordered appetizers. However, the wait was worth it as the fish tasted fresh and my partner's steak was well-seasoned! The apple pie was also tasty, but I was disappointed with the soft crust. Overall, coupled with their attentive services, it's an all-round enjoyable dining experience.
G.
Food is absolutely stunning. Staff were wonderful. From the time we were welcomed till the time we left, we thoroughly enjoyed our New Years Eve lunch. Will definitely be coming back.
J.
Excellent food and drinks. Long Island iced tea cocktail was mixed and blended with chemical perfection. Excellent friendly and professional staff.
M.
Beautiful food, served in a timely manner. This is a very good restaurant. I will definitely be back.
C.
Just one of the best restaurants around. We are from out of town but eat here when ever we can. Excellent service, excellent menu, excellent and helpful staff and excellent food. Highly recommend. Quite happy you are following the rules.
D.
We enjoyed our delicious meals, warm hospitality &. prompt service on a busy New Years Eve. Hubby & I shared the yummy chicken liver pate with tamarillo compote for an entree. The mains of Wagu beef, mash, beans & jus was very tender & the Chicken, prawns Thai green curry & rice was very tasty. The dessert menu looked inviting but we were well satisfied so will leave that treat for another visit.
Grateful thanks to the wonderful team at Onyx, we wish you well for the future.

J.
Great service and delicious food! Scallops were a perfect starter and the lamb rack, hoisin duck were both so good. Shame about the fabricated negative reviews from antivaxxers
A.
Four of us had dinner at Onyx Cambridge on Friday night. Using our covid passport was simple. We had the most amazing meals and the service was perfect. My lamb rack was divine and although my favourite cocktail was not on the drink menu the staff made it for me anyway. One of the nicest Pimms I've ever had. We will definitely be back.
T.
Arguably the nicest restaurant in Cambridge, the Onyx has something for everyone. A line-up of fine wines, along with champagne, beers and even ciders. An intriguing offering of appetizers along with a variety of main courses that are presented beautifully. For some, their pizzas are different, but delicious. Service was super. Our waiter was "Cheta", he has been on staff here NINE years. That speaks volumes about the professionalism of this restaurant. Many dishes, including the pizza have Indian influences. Be sure to ask about the "Chef's Challenge" aka daily specials! We were not able to have desert, but they sounded fabulous!
B.
I had an unforgettable dinner last night not only for the well-known reputation but also for the stunning foods. And, of course, this experience makes my first time traveling in Cambridge more colourful than ever before.
R.
Due to unfortunate circumstances I haven't been to Onyx for some time. Went for a meal today and it is still as good as ever. Took my brother and his wife too, they loved the food
C.
Been there many times including last night. Superb food comes from the kitchen and the service at the table is fantastic. Keep it up, and we'll keep coming back!!
D.
Fantastic always, cant fault the place after all the years of enjoying the hospitality and the excellent food. You will not be disappointed.
R.
Very busy at Sunday lunch time but staff extremely friendly and helpful. Great menu choices including gluten free options. Coffee excellent, hot and strong
M.
Following the Karapiro Flyer (cycling event) we had dinner here. We hadn’t made a reservation so they put us at the tables at the back of the restaurant. This area is definitely not as nice as the front section, with harsher lighting and less comfortable seating but as we didn’t book and were starving we were just glad to get food.
To start we had the crumbed calamari which was soft and not chewy, a good start!
The mains were a steak with prawns and a scallop and chorizo salad. The size of the salad was ridiculously huge. I think it would feed two people.
I would say the dishes were expensive for what you get. Perhaps less quantity but more flavours/freshness would be better.
H.
We've dined here numerous times. We've always enjoyed great service and delicious food.
Thank you Onyx, we will be back again!
C.
Always great food, variety, and excellent standard. Friendly helpful staff.
A.
The food was amazing, the quality and portion size was superb. I am most definitely going back.
G.
Very welcoming and friendly, even behind the masks. Great food presented perfectly. Good to be able to be out dining again and a perfect way to start.
S.
Excellent food, the service was great, although it was really busy. We loved it!
a.
Great place to grab a bite. Staff is really helpful with suggestions. Quick and efficient. And the food was excellent.
O.
Delicious dinner, calamari were super soft and tasty, the filet as well. Good wines and friendly stuff.
K.
Absolutely lovely place! Very busy, which speaks for itself but also very friendly staff, awesome atmosphere and delicious food
M.
Absolutely beautiful meal, table service was top notch.. Beautiful place for a good tasty meal.
C.
Was an awesome lunch, definitely recommend them
C.
Great, service and food was lovely. Had brunch here on a Saturday. Thanks
J.
We all enjoyed our meals but my chicken and prawn Thai green curry was absolutely superb!
K.
Fantastic. It was full but meals arrived in no time for five of us. Warm good food.
K.
Wow
Looked after so well. Beautiful meal lovely service. Thankyou
B.
Excellent atmosphere. Great food and a highly recommended stop for lunch. Very family friendly - our children were well looked after - as were we. All food was tender and well cooked. Highly recommended from our visit was the Pork Belly, Woodfired Pizza and finished off with a well made coffee and rich chocolate brownie :). Thank you - and will be seeing you again.
M.
We ordered something from all corners of the menu, and everything was amazing. "Butter-knife steaks", generously topped pizza, fairly priced kids meals. Cleverly balanced deserts (fantastic presentation) where sweet is offset just enough. (Only critique: because cold deserts are pre-made the flake topper was a bit soggy) Great service!!! Will definitely visit again.
L.
Amazing atmosphere, fire was going on quite a cold night, which added to the atmosphere. Wait staff were very attentive, quick service and a delicious meal. Thanks for a wonderful experience
J.
Great service, great food, nice warm atmosphere. Everyone enjoying being able to out in L2
V.
Great service, very welcoming. Great food! Thanks!
J.
Could not fault this restaurant friendly welcoming staff and excellent food and wine. Definitely need to go back again as so many things I like in the menu.
P.
Huge plate and delicious. Great service once again.
J.
Fantastic food and staff. Its disgusting bullying behaviour how the whineority has decided to gang up with fake 1 star reviews.
T.
Lovely food, good service
M.
Great breakfast, very friendly staff.
T.
Food is good and well presented. Service excellent and friendly staff.
R.
Hadn't been here in over 10 years but we got a voucher as a wedding present and we weren't disappointed! Food was delicious and despite being busy the service was excellent and food came out fast.
My only criticism would be that there were not many wine choices on the menu, and unfortunately what I picked wasn't very nice. But would love to see more next time 😉
E.
Fabulous mains of Hapuka and eye fillet steak. Incredibly tasty and moreish. Our waiter was very impressive at his job, very friendly and engaging. A restaurant NOT to miss. Would return in a heart beat.
K.
Nice food, love the historic photos on the walls!
J.
From walking in you could smell something beautiful being prepared. Watching meals come out just made us confused on what to get, all looked lovely. My pork belly was juicy, & melted. Crackling was light, but soo crispy. My partners scallops were desirable. & the brisket was to die for. Too full for dessert but looked awesome.
I.
Staff amazing👍food excellent👍amazing staff, a great place to relax, enjoying a wonderful meal. Thank you
S.
Great food, arrived quickly and friendly staff
M.
This place is really good! Excellent range of food and at volumes disproportional to their cost (that's if you live in Auckland). I struggled to finish their scrambled eggs and avocado on toast, which was creamy and tasty. For a prospective, I would eat a 5 egg scrambled egg meal after a bike ride and that's comfortable. This one I ate after a 3 hour bike race, well tried to eat.... must have been at least 7 eggs worth.. if I'm back in Cambridge I'm going back!
C.
Absolutely beautiful Restaurant. From the door welcome entrance throughout our dining.
Hospitality and friendliness sets a good atmosphere. My plate was incredibly decorated and tasteful. Thank you
J.
Top notch
B.
Love this place. Great service and super yummy food
C.
Another enjoyable dining experience with excellent service!
M.
Excellent service and great food. The menu has a good selection and the different dishes all came out together and hot. Beautifully presented. Scallops and mackerel salad included 10 perfectly cooked scallops. All portions were a good size. Not cheap, but good quality and worth paying for.
J.
Great spot that we used for a large brunch with a whole heap of the extended family. They managed the large and complex order nearly without a single error (a missing coffee I think was all) which was immediately rectified. Pretty good prices and definitely good food. Also had clean facilities and a good baby changing station; this could be improved upon a bit by adding a soft mat rather than just the hard plastic for the baby to lay on.
A.
Had a brilliant meal tonight
Great venue, wonderful atmosphere, food to die for (especially the scallop dish which I ordered, _ yummy!) and amazing table service. Waiter Gaurav was very attentive and went out of his way to make sure we had a very enjoyable night. Apologies to him for my sister in law giving him a hard time and flirting with him!! We will all be back and will definitely recommend you to friends and family. A great night.
G.
Big breakfast looked good, but my pork belly was chewy. Waiter forgot our second round of drinks, but let it go and had another at home. Previous experience was better.
H.
Wow 🤩 What an amazing evening we just had. Food was beautifully presented & every dish was tender and tasty. Service outstanding with our waiter Joshua & his good sense of humour doing an outstanding job. He made us feel special & although the restaurant was busy, was always attentive with clearing our table & offering dessert menus before we had to ask. We will definitely be back & our Cambridge rellies will be telling others in the area about our great experience at Onyx👍 Thank you 🙏
M.
Good menu but lacks the fine touch that could make it a great venue. Staff friendly but food needs a fine tweak.
D.
Excellent food and service despite being extremely busy.
L.
Wonderful meal and great service
R.
Great dinner and service for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend the beef brisket and my wife loved the Tikka Masala Pizza. A very good selection of gluten free options.
J.
Great beer, good service
S.
Excellent service and good food. The waiting time was minimal even though they were completely full. They were also very accommodating to my dietary needs. I will definitely be back.
E.
We had a beautiful meal. I'd have given 5 stars, but was not impressed with the price of their wine. $15 for a glass of wine that can be bought by the bottle elsewhere for $17.
P.
Onyx was Great. We had a great meal, great atmosphere and the waiters were very patient. They bought the Birthday cake out with a lit candle, we had a wonderful time. Thankyou Onyx.
R.
Lovely dining experience. We are from Tauranga and come here when ever we visit. Today the service was great, the staff very friendly and polite and very fast service.
We both had the chicken salad. It was so tasty and we would both recommend this meal and the restaurant to everyone.
M.
Excellent lunch menu, dinner menu looks good too. Popular die Sunday lunch but the wait for food wasn't excessive. Friendly staff. Yummy, big desserts. We will be back.
A.
Got our meal as a takeaway. Food was beautiful. Got there 5 minutes early to pick up my food and got told that chef works to time and basically not be early. I was not from Cambridge so allowed 10mins to drive there. I was a bit put out.
D.
Food was nice. Very busy. I do think our booking may have got cancelled when one couple had phoned Onyx during the day to say they were sick and couldn't come and must have been misunderstood by whoever took the message as seemed to be confusion when we arrived that night. We did eventually get a table.
R.
After a day at the Matamata races our group felt we should go out for dinner to cellerbrate our winnings
Onyx was chosen as no one in our group had been there before.
From the moment we stepped in the resturant we all knew we had chosen wisely .
Certainly an easy five star rating thats for sure.
From the Service' the menu' the meal its self ' the total everning was certainly a memorable one for us all.
Excellent service great meal well done to the staff of Onyx.
K.
One of the best restaurants we have been too. Service and food were outstanding. A must visit visit if in Cambridge.
J.
Great range of food and wonderful service
S.
Daughters 21st birthday dinner. Awesome service. Delicious food. Lovely night out. Thank you
L.
Had lunch there today. Really happy with the meals & Nice staff. Font could be a little larger on the menu.
k.
Great food & atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Service was excellent also.
S.
I had arranged for a corporate lunch running on a tight schedule the staff at Onyx had it all setup for the guest. The service was fast even though they were catering to so many different orders. Food was great. Friendly staff checked if everything was going fine. Located in the heart of the Town centre, parking may be a bit of a mission. Overall great place to hang with friends, family and corporate get together.
R.
Good tasting food. Great, quick service. Would visit again
V.
Great service and good food!! Lovely ambience and a fire for cooler evenings. Really nice!!
K.
Fantastic food. Really good service. We were the last table to leave and they waited patiently for us to finish our wine. Good place for date night, friends visiting from overseas, or even a family dinner! Scotch fillet recommended over the pizza.
S.
Absolutely lovely, Great service by friendly staff Lady 👍
B.
Very good food very good people very good service great
F.
Great to stop off for pizza and a drink.
Loved their pizza - real.oven taste and smell without being overwhelming.
L.
Nice atmosphere and great service from friendly wait staff. Enjoyed our meals! We sat outside with a beautiful garden wall beside us. We especially liked the kids' menu because on the side for colouring in, it said, "If you can be anything, be kind". What a wonderful message for both children AND adults! Well done, Onyx!
M.
We had an amazing dinner experience and are very much looking forward to dining there soon again.
B.
Excellent food excellent service outstanding experience will definitely go again thank you onyx staff.

J.
We came for a second time from Auckland. Today was celebrating my mother's 70th birthday.
The food and service were both fantastic.
Thanks😊. We will definitely be back
G.
Excellent meal at Onyx this week. We were a party of 10. Everyone was delighted with their meals. Onyx always delivers a great experience.
S.
One of the best place to eat in Cambridge, was served by Neeraj , the best customer service ever, we came from Auckland to meet our friend , Neeraj was amazing and the food is lovely , w’ll visit the place again next time :)
S.
Awesome service great range of yummy food
J.
Not so great. We had breakfast here. Salmon was salty. Wish it met our expectations. Even our Airbnb host recommended it, not sure if it was a change of management or cooks.
R.
My family and I came out to Cambridge for a quick brunch. We came across the Onyx restreraunt. They had great service with smiling faces. The food came out reasonably quick. Their food was really delicious and their sizes were very well proportioned (not too big, not too small). They had good customer service, with regularly check ups to ask if the food was good, and if you were enjoying it. Overall the experience was enjoyable.
P.
Fantastic food and service
B.
One of Cambridge's best restaurants hands down. The food is always good here, great atmosphere and quick service. Been a couple of times for dinner and also just drinks. I had the Thai Curry they have currently on the menu and was spot on, not to hot either.
R.
Have only been here for my morning coffee fix. Great triple shot latte! So far the only other coffee strong enough for me is at the Hidden Lake Hotel restaurant D'arcy's Garden
T.
Beautifully presented food that had the taste to match. Great selection of Veg and non Veg options, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back again.
A.
Beautifully presented food, wonderful staff and service! A lovely Cambridge eatery that caters to a variety of dietary requirements.
K.
Very nice service and impressive food.
B.
Great food, great service. Can't wait to go back!
R.
Delicious food! But most of all the waitresses were amazing! They couldn't have been more helpful going the extra mile. Thank you for a lovely evening.
D.
Food was yum! Unfortunately they heated my cake quite a lot and then stuck a fork in it??? I didn't realise the cake was heated so put the fork in my mouth and burnt my tongue and lip so couldn't even taste the cake. Apart from that, the rest of the food was good and the waitresses were lovely
r.
Five stars again,Onyx never fails in it’s amazing service and fantastic food.Had a great lunch here with family on Sunday and everything was excellent as we have come to expect, keep it up Onyx you’re a great team!
S.
Great menu, great service. Managed a table right beside the fireplace on a cool Sunday morning. Worth the effort to be here... 🙂
A.
Onyx is a modern, clean cafe. We had great, fast service. Great portions. The coffee was strong, the eggs Benedict hollandaise was creamy and tangy and the pizza had plenty of flavour.
A.
Good food. Great staff that are friendly and efficient. Most enjoyable dinner.
P.
Awesome food. Great service. They even got in special request foods for us with a weeks notice.
T.
Very enjoyable dining experience. Faultless. Thanks team Onyx.
M.
We had the Pasta and Steak Sandwich. Both divine. Service was exceptional. Very friendly. A must while in Cambridge
S.
Out of the blue choice place to go. Great food and great service.
D.
Absolutely fantastic from the moment we walked in. The service was impeccable and the meal just the same. Keep up the amazing work!!
K.
Dinnertime on Saturday night with friends was a very pleasant experience. It was busy but the wait staff were very attentive and helpful. Pizzas were delicious. Good choice.
N.
Fantastic food, excellent customer service and a great atmosphere. We had an entree and main, but it was more than enough.
Q.
The staff are attentive and pleasant. The food was slightly above average perhaps. Pork Belly tasted good but could have a crispier skin. Eggs Benedict were inline with what you'd expect a decent cafe to serve, although the eggs could be a bit more runny. Chai Latte was a bit to heavy on the milk and light on the Chai but was spiced quite well. Price is reasonable.
G.
Held a 40th birthday party in early December. Great food, fast service for a busy night and reasonable price.
M.
Good service - great food. Plus they have Jamison's behind the bar!
S.
Great food, friendly service great atmosphere We will be back
C.
Always a treat to eat at Onyx. A warm and friendly greeting, nice surroundings, and a fresh and tasty menu. Love the real fire on a cold and wet May evening. This evening I had Scallop & Chorizo salad. The dozen scallops grilled on skewers were tender and succulent, over a bed of chorizo slices, green leaves, goats cheese and fresh soy beans. All finished with a fresh, crisp and malty pale ale.
M.
Very full/busy. Food was excellent. Only fault was the time it took from being ordered until it arrived on the table.
G.
Great service. Staff very friendly. Food lovely. Back again soon
R.
Fantastic food and fabulous service.
G.

T.
Fantastic service, food was amazing and great atmosphere. Highly recommend Onyx you won’t be disappointed.
S.
Not bad food. But not outstanding either. Good safe place to take family or colleagues. Service was OK but had to go and find someone for a second beer. Over all an OK experience but most likely won't blow you away.
k.
delicious food, generous portions, served by friendly staff, a great place for a night out in Cambridge
L.
Visiting Cambridge from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Had an outstanding evening at Onyx. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere a delight, and the people friendly. I can't wait to come back.
r.
I have been there last week.Amazing food and on-top of that very good service especially lad that served our table . Highly Recommended
E.
Good menu that's well executed. Pleasent staff with just the right amount of attention. Would have been 5 Stars if they hadn't sent out the wrong Kids order.
T.

B.
Awesome food very friendly and knowledgeable staff enjoyed every minute will be going back again for sure
S.
Always consistent and service very good but some more effort with fine sauces, garnishing would push up my rating.
M.
I always return for my meals as the service, environment and quality of the food and its presentation is consistently first class. The Onyx team really work hard to impress. Well done.
M.
Ate at Onyx tonight with a large group (20) for a family birthday, we had the upstairs function room.
Overall it was a decent experience, but it was marred by a waiter with a poor attitude and attention to detail. He messed up two of the orders (wrong dish, wrong meat cooking preference) and was brusque and uninterested when the errors were pointed out, no apology was offered at all. The food itself (other than the over cooked steak resulting from the waiters error) was all delicious and well-cooked.
The restaurant was chokingly hot and apparently unable to be cooled down via the aircon system. They eventually opened the small windows at the back of the function room, which lowered the temperature to a bearable but still overly warm level.
We've eaten here before and will definitely return, but there is certainly a lot of room for improvement in their customer service.
M.
The food is always delicious, hot, fresh and there are no long waiting times. The staff are super friendly and attentive. We've never had a bad experience at Onyx.
D.
The last coffee I had here I will say was disappointing, either the staff have changed or the coffee used did. Overall this place is generally pretty good with nice food.
R.
Visiting from Australia. We stopped in Onyx coming home from a busy day in Rotorua. We didnt have a reservation and were seated immediately. Atmosphere was great. Catered for my 12mo as well.
The rest of my party had nothing but praise for the food that they had ordered. I had ordered the Italian pizza with a side of chilli flakes and hot sauce. Portion sizes were generous as well. We took home some pizza in a takeaway box. Highly recommended.
F.
Stopped for a coffee to break up a long trip. This little restaurant was well staffed and the food looked good but all I can really comment on is the coffee I had which was supperbly crafted.
B.
Lively, popular cafe/restaurant close to the town centre.
J.
Food OK but service slack. Had to keep waving at the staff of you wanted to order or get a drink. Very busy so that might have been a factor but no apologies. Reasonable prices
S.
This place is beautiful had the prawns and fish n chips the snapper was amazing would definitely recommend this place. I will be back
S.
Fantastic food and very friendly quick service, we go back there all the time when on our way to Hamilton.
I.
Excellent never had a bad meal always great service been going there for quite some years. Hard to find better any where . Good on them
G.
We went for dinner & stayed 'til nearly 10pm. Amazing food, excellent service, good atmosphere. A bit cold as the big doors were left open the whole time.
P.
We definitely were not expecting a restaurant of this caliber in such a small town. Remarkably creative menu, both of our meals were excellent.
C.
Thank you Rocky, Paula and the team for another fabulous afternoon. My family (numbers ranging anywhere from 18 - 30 people) have been celebrating birthdays upstairs at the Onyx for the last six years. Incidentally none of us live in Cambridge we come from Auckland, Tauranga, Te Awamutu and further south because we love the Onyx. On Sunday we celebrated my Father's 90th birthday, a very special time for us made extra memorable by the wonderful Onyx team who were so accommodating, very efficient and super friendly as always. The upstairs area is the perfect place to hold a function and along with tables also includes, bar, sitting area and restrooms. The food is always delicious and well priced. We love you Onyx, we'll be back!!!
p.
