Reviews of Boardwalk Beach Bar & Bistro
W.
Good customer service 👍 and they even give us free masks (which 3 of us forgot to bring it). The food are nice too! We will back again and remember to bring our own mask this time. 😆
G.
Great spot. Convent parking. Both inside and outside dining. Brunch menu has a number if options which many places don't. Easy dining. Prompt service, quick meal delivery and great portions. Surroundings looking out to sea a bonus. Next door chocolate derby ice cream a double bonus!!
A.
Nice view, drink was a bit flat... Wedges were nice, could have had music outside or reaching to the outside.. but otherwise nice for a visit..
A.
Great food. And love the Beer margarita slushy
H.
Staff were friendly and food was good pub grub. Nice to have a non-alcoholic cider available
N.
Just love this place. Awesome staff, great beers, food selection is lovely. Just a nice place to chill and relax.
Just finished off with a couple of cocktails.
G.
Awesome food. Best coffee. Beautiful views.
j.
Excellent friendly efficient service and all our meals were delicious. Varied menu from light meals/snacks to large meals. Very nice dessert menu. It was VERY busy all evening. I took photos after guests had left to respect privacy. Perfect for dinner or drinks before or after movies. Lovely outdoors area right on the Ahuriri foreshore overlooking the bay as well as sheltered conservatory. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely restaurant/bar.
M.
I love coming here Alwz a fabulous place to catch up with friends, awesome service, great menu, the best cocktail selections
B.
Very nice staff, clean and tidy, coffee arrived with meal as requested, had big breakfast but no butter on bread and had to ask for tomato sauce so a bit dry but still nicely cooked
L.
Highly recommended! Impeccable service from the wait staff who seated us and put up the umbrella for our son, to the wonderful Kimi who took our orders and payment. My partner and I had eggs benedicts (vegetarian and bacon respectively), our son had the savory hot cakes and we were all extremely satisfied and found everything well portioned and delicious. Beautiful spot out in their rear courtyard overlooking the harbour, absolutely nothing to fault, we will be returning!
P.
Great breakfast Great Coffee Amazing seaside location and the people are so friendly and nice.
N.
Thoroughly enjoyed the environment and all the food. Customer Service was amazing. Thank you for a lovely afternoon
S.
Excellent choice for a family brunch, with a wide variety of sweet and savory breakfast options. The Bloody Mary was pretty good too
T.
One of me and my mums favorites one of the best restaurants in Napier and it so nice to get quality table service all day.
Z.
Went for wifes birthday lunch, meals were big and hot, drinks, starters and meals came out realy quick for how busy the place was. Nice setting right by the water
T.
The food was superb. But it was freezing cold. There were many empty tables inside. We did book that morning but were told there were no inside tables. Those same tables were still empty when we left. There were 7 of us so we paid a size able account.
C.
Huge menu, really generous brunch options! You'd better be hungry! Arrived hot and tasty to our table in good time...and was all the better as it's waterfront!
K.
Love this place. Beautiful setting and platter is good. Actually all their food is amazing. Seafood chowder, cheese boards, hot mixed platter and even cocktails. Beautiful place to go for cocktail hour with the ladies. Thank you to the man that served us as well. He was a good laugh and kind.
R.
The food was ok, the staff were friendly, the price was ok. The place can be busy during the holidays so is recommend booking ahead for a table.
V.
Great cocktails .. loved it.
Service was one of the best. The waitress was very interested in telling us wat we can do in Napier since we are tourists. We'll recommended places from her. We had a great time.
B.
great view awesome place good vibe yummy food good selection of drinks. shout out to staff and Mia for a good chat
M.
Nice friendly staff. Kim was extra nice. Food was great and did not wait too long for it . Will definitely go back
S.
Great sea view, lovely staff and yummy deserts. We shared a creme brulé with vanilla ice cream and it was really lovely. It made the perfect crack sound. We enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.
M.
Wow Boardwalk Beach Bar Amazing.. after having an awful experience next door at Hot Chick we ventured next door to The Boardwalk for a drink. When The Boardwalk staff heard about our experience next door a short time later a beautiful crispy pork dish was delivered to our table. Food was lovely. Thank you Broadwalk Beach Bar.. Customer service 5 stars
J.
Great food, excellent staff, nice an relaxed

Phantastic location staff very friendly food superb
I'd recommend the Boardwalk Beach Bar & Bistro to everyone local and visitors alike
A.
Friendly and speedy service, good pub food. They have a kids menu and free activity packs which worked very well with our little ones :)
P.
Delicious food, but the service wasn't great. First I was forgotten about for over 20 minutes and had to find someone to take my order, then when I went to pay they tried charging me almost double for a bunch of extra items I didn't order (or receive). Would I go back? Yes, not not if I was in a rush.
j.
Tried the shared plates, worked out well.
Waiter very professional, veiw out to sea watching tail end of passing cyclone interesting
L.
Lovely venue with lovely outlook and fabulous food. Recommended
F.
Nice food & environment & beautiful ocean view. Price is reasonable too. We really enjoyed our lunch there when the beach is only 10 meter away.
H.
Very nice experience. Busy but we were well looked after. Parking was at a premium being the weekend. I'll return.
J.
Sitting outside with views across the Bay, great service & lovely meals
K.
Were treated excellently by the front of house staff. Seared us fast. Served our drinks fast.
Waitress was good humoured and put up with a bit of banter from us! Food was delicious and came out quite fast. Excellent options for seating (inside, out side on a variety of table arrangements, outside but still covered by a deck).
Beautiful views of the beach and the sea.
Overall a really enjoyable experience. Thank you.
C.
For that nice relaxed meal and refreshment on the beachfront I love watching the waves crashing very memorable
P.
Went for brunch and we were not disappointed. We all loved our food and we loved the view from our table.
C.
Fabulous location and lovely food. Good service too.
G.
I do enjoy it here. Simple yet lovely and well presented. Good choice of kids meals too.
T.
Good service but didn't like the coffee brand 'Tiger' if you like the strong taste of this coffee brand.
B.
This would be a five star review if the woman at the front of house wasn’t so brash and rude to us. Just because we didn’t make a booking doesn’t mean we don’t deserve the best service. We were willing to wait for a table and got one quickly so it ended up not being a problem. I don’t want the entire place to suffer for the rudeness of one waitress though so that’s why I rated it so high in spite of her. It goes without saying that one employee can sour the whole place. Needs training in customer service and how to treat people with respect and not treat people as if they’re a bother.
d.
Great place, great food great service. Definitely make this place a regular 😊
A.
We had a meal at 12.30pm on 16/5/21.
We had chicken burger, pasta, eggs Benedict and hot cakes! The food was absolutely amazing would highly recommend
Just a let down that none of the female staff on that day smiled or interacted with polite conversation and didn’t show great hospo! Truly looked like none of them wanted to be there which was a little awkward!
j.
Loved the location. Service excellent,very friendly helpful patient staff. Food very nice, Good portions. Very busy when visited, told about 30 minute wait but food served quite quickly. Well done
P.
Great brunch. Mushrooms and bacon, lambs fry with bacon and spinach and the kiwi mince and eggs were all delicious 😋. Quick service and excellent spiced tomato juice. 🍅
R.
Nice meal. Quick service. My pasta was very rich and creamy.
H.
The wait for our table of 6 lunch meals was worth it. We all enjoyed our menu choice. As always, The Boardwalk has a great location so close to the edge of the Bay. On a sunny autumn day it is difficult to leave.
J.
With good food, good menu along with very helpful and friendly staff means they are always busy - so pays to book!
They never disappoint.
B.
Absolutely love this place awesome food!! 💯
S.
Brunch here was ok. Nice service but the food was not amazing. Guacamole was made with old avocados that have lost their fresh flavour. Bacon was good though! I came here for dinner and that was quite nice. Middle of the row for me
J.
Staff were very friendly and helpful food was delicious
D.
Went there for lunch on Monday 4th January 2021 it was a last minute decider. My husband and I shared a mixed Tapas platter it consisted of BBQ Pork spare ribs, southern chicken tenders, fish bites and baked camenbert all dishes came with matching sauces. Of course we had a couple of drinks all up it only cost us $90 . The staff were excellent and very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be going back. Keep up the good work you're all brilliant
J.
Great location. Food is devine. Waitresses need training. Manager is fantastic. 7 meals ordered, 7 meals cooked to perfection. Please provide the manager with some assistance and you shall receive all 5 stars.
R.
Really nice boardwalk, spacious for everyone...big seats are vcool
C.
The food and atmosphere were great!
Service was questionable. Karen behind the bar was quite abrupt and not very friendly.
The young lady who served us needs a lot more training, quite forgetful when placing our orders and not very friendly.
P.
Exceptional brunch with great service and possibly the best view in Napier.
D.
Good setting. Awesome staff, with decent service. Very amazing food. Loved it all.
J.
Great service, good menu and food. Location the best.
G.
Hi Folks if you haven't already been to Boardwalk Beach Bar & Grill YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING. Great staff with great service and the food was awesome. My wife and I shared a tapas plater. We picked 4 dishes, southern fried chicken, fish bites, pork spare ribs and baked camenbert and not only filling BUT tasted awesome. This place was an awesome unexpected surprise. DON'T SECOND GUESS, JUST GO.
F.
Food was good but service was terrible. First course soup was forgotten. Main course half table served 20 min before second half and then one meal was forgotten altogether. Had to remind waitress who made up a number of excuses before sulking off to find the missing meal. She sent someone else back with it 10 min later and we didn't see her again.
P.
Beautiful day at the Boardwalk with the sun glistening on the sea. Great lunch with excellent food. A very pleasant way to enjoy food in a good setting.
G.
Excellent place by the beach, great outlook, good beer and wine selection. Food was good, but not quite fine enough for the price tag.
K.
Came here for dinner on the long weekend. Good menu and fantastic food. We had the lamb rump and fish taco with a chocolate brownie.
Great service and definitely will be back when I'm in Napier next.
T.
Perfect, one of the best Breakfast we have had, great quick service too.
Really good value as well, great view out onto the Bay.
A.
Went for dinner, we were seated pretty fast which was great, drinks order taken then seems they forgot to come back for our food order. After reminding them our order was taken and it didn’t take long to receive our food. Food was okay. Staff seemed tired and like they’d rather be elsewhere maybe it had been a busy night
D.
Had a tasty meal good service
G.
Nice menu and excellent service. The view is very stunning. We had a table in the balcony, it would've been nicer with a bit of music 😊 highly recommend it
D.
Great food, wine and service. Views are good too!
K.
Lovely food and great service
S.
With no drapes or soft furnishings I found it very echoey and noisy, difficult to hear our conversation. The food was good with a huge selection and the staff were friendly, especially Clara and apart from the man who kept barging in between myself and the person next to me to take plates, fill glasses without an ‘excuse me’. One of the rare venues that has a view of the harbour.
M.
Really enjoyable meal here with great views of the harbour. Staff are friendly and they have colouring books and puzzles for kids (which also doubles as a kids menu).
Unfortunately the day we were there was quite busy and the table next to us complained that their food was cold when it was served. Hopefully this was a one off. The management did their utmost best to correct the situation.
S.
I always enjoy my food experience at the Boardwalk. The food, coffee and ambience is awesome and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
M.
Great food, excellent service
M.
The location is amazing - can’t beat being by the water! Cheerful and helpful staff. Very diverse menu. Have tried several different meals and all were a decent size, good for sharing, and none of them disappointing. Comfortable seating indoors and outdoors. Decent coffee as well if you are walking past and want to get a takeaway.
C.
Awesome Meal!!! Thanks to the awesome chef 🤗 view is amazing!!!
K.
Service was not the best and meal wasn't even really hot
L.
Yummy food...service ok
E.
Calamari salad is awesome
J.
We were able to get a takeaway restaurant meal fron this Boardwalk place. It was so lovely.
J.

B.
Love this place great food n right on beach
S.
Very nice food, atmosphere and service.
K.
Fantastic breakfast
P.
Lovely food, top service, I will be back. Thanks
x.
fresh seafood, next to the beach, could have a breath and a break in the weekend.
G.
Excellent place by the beach, great outlook, good beer and wine selection. Food was good, but not quite fine enough for the price tag.
S.
Very nice food, atmosphere and service.
V.
Fantastic staff that is a very direct with the timing expectation and beautiful outdoor setting.
The food as well proportion and extremely tasty and you are definitely not left wanting more.
They have definitely exceeded my expectations and I will be excited to return.
D.
Brilliant food. Great atmosphere and friendly and efficient service. Also lots of value for money. Good choice
J.
An appealing place to dine overlooking the sea but our greeting to breakfast was very brisk. The service was good but oh they must learn to heat their plates. Cooked bacon and eggs on a cold plate is an absolute NO-NO! Spoilt what should have been a treat.
S.
Nice view of the sea. Awesome salt n pepper squid and the garlic bread - the best we had in a long time. Main meal took a bit long time to be served- the waitress was very friendly and apologied for the delay in service. We enjoyed the night for our son's birthday.
K.
Great location and atmosphere with friendly staff. Most of food was very good but pork bites were a bit overcooked and dry.
J.
Yummy food & great view out to sea. We came in a group of 8 and almost got turned away as no group tables but lots 4person ones free. Suggested pushing tables together. Not sure why staff were hesitant to do this but did eventually. Anyway we had a great time. Also kids playground nearby so they can go and play while waiting for food to come out
R.
Fantastic service, so clean and welcoming. Superb view as well. Thank you 🥰
N.
This is an excellent cafe. Ate here a few times when we were in Napier and really good. Great coffee, museli, corn cakes etc
T.
Amazing bistro with fantastic good sized tapas for family sharing. Beautiful view and they even have blankets so you can enjoy the fresh air and scenery without getting cold.
K.
Everything about this place was fantastic. The service was amazing, so friendly and helpful. The food was so yummy and my lamb was cooked perfectly, just the way that I like it. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
J.
Great diverse menu and the food was fantastic. You couldn't pick a better setting right on the waterfront. The staff were both cheerful and knowledgeable and the prices were very reasonable. We couldn't fault it and will make sure we visit again soon.
C.
Not impressed with that lambs fry and bacon,or the service. Must be different owners
K.
It was ok, nothing spectacular, oil in the deepfryer really needs a change, all of our chips stunk of fish when no fish was ordered.
Meals were a little on the small side.
F.
You can’t beat the location, overlooking the ocean. Food was decent, I had the chicken parmigiana which was tasty, the accompanying cesar salad was limp and seemed like it had been sitting out.Top class service on a busy Saturday night. Had vege stack and friend had fish tacos. Resonably proced and very tasty. Would go back.
R.
Great setting right on the beach front. Plenty of tables inside and a big area outside for those who don't mind the change of weather. Thankfully they do offer blankets for those who feel the cold!
Their seafood platters are enormous and delicious. Well worth the visit and such friendly staff. We visited from Auckland and we will certainly be back. Thank you Boardwalk management and staff, keep up the awesome work.
S.
What a great restaurant, friendly staff, great view and awesome food. We had to google a bit to find a child friendly restaurant, with 3 small kids we always try to find a place that will be a good experience for all of us. This was a true hit. Good options for kids, food wise and some goodie bags for entertainment, all and all a really great family place.
j.
Fist time there and wow the look and feel was really nice waitress was amazing even when we shifted from out side to inside they were really good and helpful. Great food. Will be back again
S.
Breakfast was great..coffee always lovely. The wait is beyond a joke though. We had such a long wait just for coffee was 35mins an meals were nearly an hour.
S.
Beautiful food, friendly staff and great service. Late booking for 7, week before Xmas, extremely busy but fitted us in. Definitely recommend trying this great place out.
F.
Great location and friendly staff. Lots to choose from the menu. Great coffee. We enjoyed our brunch very much.
M.
Service was good, the 'salt & pepper squid basket' was ok. I liked the chips too. The Chicken Parmigiana with salad was average. The scenic view of the ocean was very nice
D.
Highly recommend, amazing food well prepared excellent service definitely worth the cost
T.
We had a fabulous meal tonight. The menu has plenty of choice and the food is well presented and cooked beautifully. The service is good. The ambience is light and relaxed and good for people of all ages.
G.
The food was good. They have an extensive menu. Our server was quick and friendly. We sat inside but the views are gorgeous. Definitely have the brownie. Delicious and light.
L.
Beautiful location on the beach. Friendly staff who were very caring about food allergies and really good food. Thanks :)
S.
A really good place to have a cup of coffee
H.
Nice place, food was great. Just took a while for service and for the food and drinks to come out.
S.
Generally good service but they did not have table booking made days before. Food served had items explicitly said not to have and eggs were very rubberly.
C.
Nice restaurant, Lovely food, good service. Lost a 2 points as we went here for a birthday and they broke up our large group onto two tables which meant you couldnt talk to each other.
A.
Our first time dining here. The staff were extremely friendly. Felt very welcome as soon as we entered. We had our four children with us. The kids meals were very well thought out. Our youngest son ordered steak eggs and fries. The steak was cut to small bite sizes which was perfect for him and lovely mushrooms placed over the little bite sizes of steak. The seafood cabonara was amazing!!!! Im not a fan of mussels but this dish was devine! We felt very relaxed and took our time as the atmosphere was lovely. Would definietly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to have a beautiful meal at a decent price! And we will definitely be returning here next time we stay in Napier 😊
A.
Nice spot, unfortunately the food let's it down, would rate the food as average only.
R.
Good view of the beach. Friendly staff. Decent food. I'll be back 😀
A.
Great service, generous portions and beautiful location
J.
Top spot , never going to walk past here again with out going in! Food 10 out 10 location another 10 staff 10 100% great spot
C.
Awesome place to meet and eat!
Love the menu and best Pina Coladas🍹since Rarotonga👌
D.
Great food, service and outlook, we live in Napier but it still feels like I'm sitting on a tropical island looking out at the sea.
M.
Wait staff seamed really inexperienced, although it wasnt busy they struggled to seat us, take orders or keep water on the table. Didnt clear plates and had to ask for dessert order to be taken. Pay process also took ages. Food came fast but ribs were very average.
D.
Great meal, service & selection, highly recommend
G.
Lovely location overlooking the beach. Staff are helpful and friendly. Menu is large and diverse, and portions substantial. You'll find something for all the family here, including the vegetarians.
B.
We tend to visit here every time we stay in Napier and it didn't dissapoint once again. This time for breakfast on two different days. Everything was tasty and cooked well. A nice touch also is a bag of activities, crayons etc which our 3 year old daughter abolutely loved. Nice work Boardwalk, keep it up !
D.
Despite the fact that they have a kimchi burger inspired by Korea's knock off McDonald's, the food is very good. I haven't found anything in the menu yet that I didn't enjoy. I haven't lived in Korea for years. So I may just have to try their kimchi burger.
K.
Great spot for brunch with friends! Friendly and quick service. My salmon Benedict was fabulous. Would definitely recommend :)
S.
Service was hit and miss, and the coffee wasn't good. Food was okay however, and a nice setting looking out over the water.
A.
Good value food and drinks
A.
Great view with good food and drink choices
H.
Always a great cup of coffee
S.
Great coffee and a fantastic menu. Perfect as the outside tables look over the beach!
A.

Great place for lunch with good ocean views
R.
The food and the service is always amazing.
Thank you
J.
5 STAR RATING!!!
I have visted many restaraunts in the world and this would be one of the BEST!
Today my family and i came for breakfast/lunch! From the moment we walked through the door we got BRILLIANT service. After we ordered my son 'who wasn't feeling very well' spewed all over the table. Instead of acting all grosed out the staff helped us clean it up and even washed my sons clothes. They also offered him a blanket and to lie down on the couch while we ate.
The food is literally to die for!!!! My steak was so juicy and DELICIOUS!!! Everything about my meal and all the other meals we got were 5 STAR!!!!
I can't thank the staff at Boardwalk Beach restaurant enough for making a horrible and embarrassing situation so much easier to deal with. I will definitely be back.
J.
Lilly was an amazing waitress, service with a smile makes such a difference! i noticed her buzzing around tables other tgan ours and she was the same throughout! The meal was priced fairly for what it was! definatly recomend theism little gem! five stars from me!
G.
Very good food lot's of choice very busy place, and the view marvelous. Never been disappointed there, menu extensive 👍

W.
Lovely food , great service
K.
Staff friendly, helpful and professional. The food was great. I had the seafood chowder and a side of their chips.
s.
Expensive. Nice staff. OK food. Group menu for large dinners was terrible and enjoyed nothing. Even the ice cream was inedible. Do not recommend group bookings, only normal menu dinners
R.
Good meals and friendly staff. Nice outlook over the water. Very large menu with plenty to choose from. Seemed to be popular with locals.
N.
Love the atmosphere, view and service. Never had a bad experience there. Drinks great but expensive.
Would recommend dinning for friends etc.
R.
Lovely staff & food & the place is so peaceful with the sound of the waves
G.
It was a FABULOUS day in the Bay and some friends and I got together for lunch - me being back from out of town wanted to try something new. The location is to die for and sooooo wonderful to see people making the most of the sea. However, the food was another thing altogether. The seafood platter sounded and looked delicious but the mussels and pippis were dry. Then there was the Thai Beef Salad - it was basically a plate of noodles, lettuce and fried(and dry) schnitzel with none of the classic Thai flavours. I complained at the time and we got both Thai meals for half price but that is not the point - they were expensive to start with.
Come on people - don't let yourselves down by serving under par food just because you have a PRIMO location and access to premium food and wine products.
I hope to return in the future and find the food matches the location and the service.
C.
Having returned from overseas for a quick visit we called in for a few drinks. Service was great and it's still nice to sit out and look upon the sea.
B.
Never felt very welcome here. Food fine, enjoyed our lambs fry and bacon and numerous cups of coffee over a 3week holiday.
M.
Happy and friendly staff, excellent service and good food. Not to mention the great location on the waterfront.
W.
The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere was condusive to a good time.
K.
As always a great place to dine. I frequently visit The Boardwalk as i travel often and stay at the nearby Harbourview motel. Awesome staff awesome service! I would highly recommend to anyone.
J.
The service was unenthusiastic and the food was just adequate. We were disappointed as the advertising made it look very good
P.
2nd trip to Napier,and have had breakfast there both times and will be back there again next time.
Great staff,food and wieeing if you eat outside.
J.
