Huge menu including great choice for vegetarians, plenty of seating, central location in a heritage building, exquisite presentation and delicious presentation…..what more can one ask for! There is only one problem- to make the decision on what to order. I had a few different dishes shared between a few of us. Each one was delectable, and different from the usual stuff. “What’s different?” - you might ask. Why not try it the next time you are in New Plymouth?!

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner date at the restaurant. Great ambiance, delicious & well presented food & drinks and above all, exceptional service by a lovely young lady called Mirielle, hope I got the name right. ☺️🙏🏼

It's not worth the money, what we pay for is not what we get. The food on the large plates was small. Charges 10% service charge but no clear signage. Wanted to support the local area so came twice. The first time was on 2 January as the Goole map showed it was open, but when we arrived it was closed. This was my first visit to New Plymouth and found many excellent restaurants, but not this one.

P. S.

This was THE BEST FETTUCCINE I've ever had! It's a must try!! Amazing staff!! Amazing drinks!! Will definitely come back when we visit New plymouth!

Dinner was lovely although I got served the wrong dish. I asked for the spaghetti con pollo e pesto and my dish turned up as fusilli con pollo e fungi. It was lovely dish but a little disappointed I didn't get what I asked for. I prob should have said something but smelt good so stuck with it. They were very busy due to it being a public holiday and managed to get us the last table. The garlic bread pizza was a little dry but okay.. we also got overcharged on the dinner by $6.00 which isn't alot but it is on a tight budget. Overall okay food tasted great maybe just a little care on what people are ordering

Due to COVID, we had to cancel our booking on December 5, for my Birthday, with my sister and brother in law, so it happened last night. The staff made my belated dinner night one to remember. And meals left nothing but oh wow. Size, taste, and style, what more do you want when you go out but a Wow, as each course came out. What a fantastic night out. Well done 👍👍👍👍. We will be back, the menu you have means, we just need to come back to try more of your fantastic service and meals. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

N. P.

Hearty portions and amazing flavors. We tried the eggs Benedict with beef carpaccio for sides and the fungi pasta with chicken & truffle oil. Well balanced flavors and beautiful space. The flat whites were served with yummy edible chocolate spoons, a nice surprise! Excellent staff too.

E.

Food was amazing and service was excellent. Oh and delicious coctails

C.

Nice atmosphere. Good food :)

A. J.

Been here couple of times, they never fail to amaze you with the food, new menu and great people, lovely ambience. After a satisfying dinner, we went back there next morning for the brunch as well. 🤗❤️🤩🍻

I'm not sure it my review got out. This is a fantastic restaurant to visit if you're in Taranaki. My sister and Brother in law were next to come up on the 5th December, but due to covid the had to put it off, nut on the 5th of January 2022. We went there, I cannot take photos of our meals. But size, tastet and staff were fantastic, yes I have see some reviews. If you don't like the prices, not my problem. Google first. It is a fantastic restaurant. We will go back... the 5 star's I give them is genuine. We had wow factors, through out our meals.

P.

A fantastic experience! Very delicious and satisfying food. Staff was very helpful as well. Attention to detail and quality was evident in even the littlest of things. From the presentation of plates to the little chocolate spoon served with the coffee. It's an 11/10 restaurant. Would happily detour to New Plymouth just for this place :)

C. J.

The food was amazing. I've ordered a Porterhouse angus and it tasted good( was medium-well done but I ordered for medium-rare) but that isn't a huge problem for me... the portion size was perfect with veggies and sauce and desserts were all great and I had other guests with me too and they were all satisfied. Amazing customer service. Will be going back for more.

J. W.

Wow. Can't believe I haven't been here before. Great food. Something for everyone. Good wine list and attentive service. Restaurant has a lovely surprising vibe. Will most certainly be back.

A.

Absolutely loved our meal here tonight. Massive variety on the menu, and the service was just the right mix of friendly and professional.

T. S.

Area 41 is an all day eatery off the main strip in New Plymouth. I had the pleasure of dining at for breakfast on a rainy New Plymouth morning. We ordered the Waffles and bacon benedetto (Benedict). The food presentation was excellent, service was top notch and atmosphere really made my visit enjoyable. Next time I would like to visit for dinner so I can try the pasta. For now, absolutely deserving of 5 stars. A must visit if in town.

D.

Had a great meal here. Hot, fresh and fulfilling comfort food and at a reasonable price. My wife is a huge fan of mushroom risotto and you had her attention at the door menu. A busy place that seemed popular during the week. Would be happy to return here if the opportunity arose again!

M. A.

Fantastic Fantastic best food we have had in a very long time service was impeccable we were only visiting New Plymouth for a week we went back twice.

B. N.

We had a great experience at Area 41. The pork belly, mussels, pasta and prosciutto pizza were incredible, the staff were really attentive and kind. I highly recommend!

T. F. R. S.

The best of Italian cuisine presented in recently opened Area 41 restaurant. Caprese salad and chicken and mushrooms pasta were perfect business lunch, very fresh, very light, very nutritious

A. G.

If you’re in New Plymouth should visit this one. With warm welcome we enjoyed marvellous brunch. Love the dishes, they look awesome taste awesome

J.

Had a pasta dish - fusili with chicken & mushrooms, delicious. Got some fries which were pretty expensive for what they were. Great and attentive service.

M.

As a hot chocolate and pizza lover this local was heaven for me. I got a spoon out of chocolate for the hot chocolate, which was amazing. The pizza was excellent (thin and crispy). The menu allow you a good choice in different categories. The service was attentively and excellent!

T. W.

We ate here on Boxing Day and had a perfect meal. Delicious coffee, amazing dessert and possibly the best rosemary potato wedges I’ve ever tasted. Our new favorite restaurant! Great ambiance, keep up the good work 😊

N.

5 stars for the excellent service from the staff. The food was great and we all loved the cocktails.💖

N. W.

Lovely service (Mirielle I believe her name was) Excellent menu options Great cocktails Poached pear could have been poached a touch longer

s. s.

Tried a takeaway for a thin crust pizza and Fettuccine with pesto. Pizza was excellent, Fettuccine however lacked a bit also the portion could have been a bit generous. The taste was great will give it another try tomorrow for a more dine in experience.

K. C.

Thanks for a wonderful dinner & great staff for fitting us in when we didn't have a booking

D. H. (.

Wow, coming to New Plymouth or if you live here this is a must try restaurant. Simply stunning.

D.

Really good food for the most part, wasn't a fan of the flaky pastry bun on the burger but the fillings were great

T. H.

This is a lovely restaurant with very friendly staff and great food choices. The gnocchi are amazing. They had a good selection on drinks and nice desserts too. Well with a visit. It has a modern feel and yet feels cosy.

G.

Beautiful food, excellent staff and great vibes 👌 Will be back again soon 😊

N. P.

This was our 3rd time going there and again we weren't disappointed. The food is AMAZING, the service is great!

J. J.

Area 41 is a great place to dine and this is not just because the food is superb but also due to the lovely staff. The area inside is nicely spaced out and quite cosy which creates a nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend trying out this restaurant.

R. T.

Absolutely fantastic food, second time we have been not disappointed will see you guys again!

F. C.

Great food and the waitress was lovely. Not cheap but worth a treat

R. P.

Beautiful Restaurant have Lovely warm ambiance, great selection of wines and very good drinks menu. Staff is very professional great service, Good food definitely visit again.

V. M.

Fabulous insalata caprese followed by #glutenfree marinara with penne for me. Great Italian wines on the menu.

T. H.

Very good atmosphere and food.. Quite a large menu but Yum.

J. H.

The best service that impressed everyone with my family, great atmosphere and taste ... and unexpected surprises for birthday. Highly recommended

L. L.

Wow I have not been here before and I was so impressed with the service and food! The waitress was up and down the stairs so many times and always with a smile! There is a good variety on the menu and the meal sizes are very generous. Without taking anything away from my meal, which was chicken and mushroom pasta which was so delicious! But then I got food envy and I kinda wished I'd got the steak because it looked amazing! The only thing I thought was a little negative about the place is the cost of the starters and side dishes was up there, but tbh I don't think that would be necessary to add extras as the portions were more than enough! Deserts were good too... I got the tiramisu which was nice but it could've been more coffee ish as there was alot of topping but hey, it was tasty regardless. I kinda wished I'd tried the flaming baked Alaska because that was an experience in itself. I will definitely return to Area 41! We also loved the atmosphere and the building. Next time I will also get pics for you all 😊

J. L.

My wife and I had dinner here for our anniversary and everything about it was a great dining experience. The staff were so polite and welcoming. The menu has lots vegetarian options and a great range for everyone to enjoy, and to top it all off, the cocktails were delicious. We will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family.

b. s.

WOW WOW WOW!!!! This beautiful restaurant is amazing!!! A massive menu..that would cater to anyone. We had starters, a main, dessert & cocktail. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. The service was also amazing. Very highly recommended, I have dinned at many beautiful restaurants and this would be up there. Thank you so much for a great experience.

S. C. A. M.

It was a lovely experience eating at Area 41, it was a cold day but it was very cosy inside. The food was amazing and the staff really nice, the Chef/owner came to our table to check on us, it was all amazing!

A. E.

Staff was great,food is horrible,after dinner fell want vomiting. I Just wondering how they have that much good feed back the worst taste Italian restaurants I ever eat.

B. S.

Craving for burgers and tapas ends here!! Spent best time with mates along with the delicious food😋😋 You got me Prohibition, will be back to finish your food✌🏻

R. K.

Visited here 3 times in 5 weeks. Very consistant experience, the staff are fantastic and put in the extra effort, the kitchen works at blazing speed. Menu options throughout are great and the food quality is excellent.

A. B.

Cosy place in heart of the city. Fast service. Good range of pizza and pasta. Well prepared meals. But prices are Auckland level. Good for a treat or on corporate account.

M. C.

What's fantastic service in this wonderful restaurant! The food was sooooo good that I brought my hosts back the following night. Our food arrived just about together and we had ordered 4 totally different meals. My favorite dessert had the deconstructed brownies, fruit and ice cream. Sooooo yumm & enough to share if you are with someone else. I happily ate the whole dessert.... I wouldn't have said that this place is wheelchair friendly but there was a person in a wheelchair so obviously it is! Parking in the street is a bit of a pain but there's usually plenty of parks in the nearby street at the bottom of the wee hill

D.

Amazing food and cocktails 🍸 10/10 service. I had the Angus and partner had the lamb. Meals came out so fast and both of them were so delicious. Presentation was on point! And the deserts!!!! Don't even get me started.. the baked Alaska was something out of this world. The whole experience was just great! We will be back.

B. O. I.

Great Italian food with good prices and service. The seafood pasta was a stand out and the tiramisu was a unique take on it. served in a glass but was very very good.

C.

Great food, great service, would highly recommend 👌

R. W.

Fantastic prompt cheerful service. Fabulous food and atmosphere. We really enjoyed the decor and architecture of the restaurant. When we come back to New Plymouth we will be back.

P. E.

Just a quick note to pass on our sincere thanks for yesterday, from the moment we arrived the team was friendly and welcoming. The meal was prepared perfectly with the touch of creativity. Italian wine was just amazing to match up with the delicious flavours from chicken, pork belly, fish and risotto. Compliments to Pushkar and his team for great food and service. Will surely return back to try other delicious meals.

M. C.

The service was great and the food was really tasty. Will take my friends and family here. Would recommend to others.

K. C.

Booked for Valentines dinner, service was spectacular, the manager at the bar and the young man serving us were both excellent! Cocktails were good, though the dominant flavor of our espresso martinis(other than alcohol) was cinnamon which wasnt in the menu description and may have swayed us toward another flavor as it was quite intense. Meals were very average for the pricepoint which was a letdown; my carbonara had little to no flavor to it at $32, my partners fettuccine just tasted of the white wine it was cooked it, and the portions were very small aswell. Have been several times for brunch and found those meals and portions much more reasonable, so will just stick to breakfast/brunch from now ♡

P.

The atmosphere was really lovely. Decorated really well. Service was so quick and polite. They knew what they were talking about too. Food was yummy with gorgeous presentation.

K. P.

Came here for a work function. Nice atmosphere, my steak was sublime. Bacon butter and delicious potatoes on the side. Would have been 5* if dessert was better. Would definitely go back.

J. P.

Had dinner here. Great pasta dishes, large portions. Dessert was good too, we had the orange cheesecake and rosemary brulee.

B. G.

I rarely give less than a four star review but sadly Area 41 was a bit of a miss for us. There were some bright spots: the “Shades of Pink” dessert was a beautifully presented flavour bomb and likely one of the best desserts I’ve eaten, but unfortunately the rest of the meal wasn’t great. Our garlic bread order was “forgotten”, the chicken was quite over cooked, and stringy pork belly with no crackling is frankly pretty bizarre (how do you get pork belly wrong!?). The tiramisu was flavourless and the creme brûlée was over cooked like scrambled eggs 😓 Overall the menu looked incredible and if executed well would be brilliant.

W. L. W.

Make sure you make a booking before heading straight there.

S. L.

The burgers here are excellent - great bun and good relishes. Good selection of craft beer.

L. Q.

Very good service. Antipasti platter for 2 is huge would be great for 4. Insalata Caprese with chicken was $28 very small portion not value for money. Partner had lamb for main huge portion lamb overcooked nice flavours though

S.

Loved dinner last night. Friendly team looking after us thanks.

R. F.

Yum yum! Sadly too hungry to take pics.. i had a beautiful mushroom egg benedicts and that was so yum! The pasta looked nice! The decor was very cool and staff very attentive and friendly.

V. H.

Delicious food and atmosphere. A little pricey but worth it.

L. O.

Loved it, great service, very good prices beautiful food

D. P.

What a lovely place! I committed the cardinal sin of sending my food back just because my lamb was a bit under and trust me i like it med rare but this was just a bit under that and not wanting to risk toxoplasmosis, i tentatively asked for it to be cooked a tab more. The wait staff were fabulous and took it back, i mouthed a sorry to the chef as he looked over, i expected it microwaved and sent back, but no...these guys re did my meal and it was superb. Tender, tasty flavourful and cooked to perfection. The pulled lamb was soooo good. I dont know why we dont do more pulled lamb in nz...we have enough lambs so pls chefs, start pulling :-) but again what makes a place great isnt just the food, its the ppl. And EVERYONE was GREAT. Keep doing that. Im loving my roadie, eating great food,experiencing good hospitality. Living the life! Thanks guys.

J. R.

My 1st time here and I found the food delicious and excellent portion sizes.some of the others at the table thought some dishes excelled and a couple where ok . However my appetizer was delicious the pork belly main was incredible and the baked Alaska delightful. Keep it up 👍

N. R.

Our pizzas were very yum. Highly recommend the piña colada.

E. J.

Very nice place to sit, relax, enjoy great company, excellent service and delicious meals A+++

T. M.

Dined here last night with my family and I have to admit the service here is unreal...So welcoming and kind....Whoevers paying your wages yall need a payrise lol Anyways I ordered the mussels and the steak meal....Was soo delicious. My kids loved their kids meals but we weren't a huge fan of the pizzas so I would've gave it a 4.5 rating if I could. But none the less was still a awesome experience. Delicious food with awesome customer service

S. A.

What a lovely place to dine in. Me & my partner just walked in with no booking, Friendly young girl gave us a nice table despite being busy. Exceptional good quality food & wide range to select.

D.

Really good service and top quality food. Highly recommended.

a. h.

Really nice meals Very friendly staff and lovely srounding

C. L.

Mains were great- steak and lamb were fabulous. Skip the desserts - worst tiramisu and creme brulee we've ever had. Gelato was really icey too.

R. M.

This place is exquisite. Best service, smiles and best food I've had in a long time. Attentive staff. Perfect steak. Something on the menu for everyone. Delicious!!!

M. B.

Great service from the friendly staff. Food was great apart from the pork belly which was a little stringy (needed more slow cooking), but the staff were receptive to our feedback. Recommended.

A. D.

We went here for an early breakfast. From the name I was expecting more of a hipster cafe but it's a more formal style italian/european (?) menu. Meals were huge portions and we couldn't even finish half. The flavour was underwhelming and menu options were sightly repetitive, with the mention of a potato sago cake with almost every option. What was this mystery potato sago thing? We definitely were keen to try it. It tasted like a delicious potato gratin and was the tastiest thing on the plate, so I could see why they put it on most of the plates. I wouldn't recommend the porridge as it tasted like creme anglaise with oats and a tiny amount of haphazardly chopped random fruit on top (grapes and apples from what I could tell). Definitely not the healthy option I was hoping for! There was not a single healthy option on the breakfast menu. The coffee was pretty good and they served it with a chocolate spoon that was quite impressive but we didn't eat it because it was like 8.30am and we weren't feeling it was appropriate pre-breakfast. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again for breakfast, but I wouldn't mind trying their proper lunch or dinner menus as I'm sure they'd be hearty and delicious.

M.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and great staff!

M. P.

Visited last night in the midst of wet and cold weather and the place was packed. Had a very tasty seafood risotto and if it wasn't for it filling us up, would have had dessert too. Great food and a nice atmosphere.

r.

We had a fairly big group of us there were mixed reviews on the meal from some of my dining companions majority enjoyed though. The cocktails here we all agreed on they were amazing.

D. S.

Friendly, efficient service, lovely setting, good cooffee and the best omelette.

C.

First time in New Plymouth, got in late needed food and zipped across the road from accommodation. Beautiful restaurant with such friendly welcoming staff. I ordered seafood risotto and it was amazing! Couldn't fault anything about tonight's experience, I will definitely be back! Thanks for the amazing service

D. W.

Wonderful, went for breakfast on a Monday morning was quiet but we were well taken care of. Buttermilk pancakes were light and fluffy. Mushrooms were delish, throw on a potato sage cake as they were beautifully seasoned. Both meals were large and coffees cam with a chocolate spoon. I will be going again

L. R.

Outstanding service & incredible meal. Stumbled across this place at the last minute & grabbed a Fish Burger.Perfect! Staff were attentive & very friendly. Definitely coming back to try out more on offer from their menu & for the hospitality. Thanks heaps!

r. h.

Was probably one the best places that I've been too. The staff, food, service and overall experience was top notch. The pork belly was to die for and my partner was very Impressed with her fish of the day. The wine to was matched very well to our meals. This is a place we most definitely will be returning to.

J. B.

A friend booked our dinner here, and called ahead to ensure they would have gluten free options for me to eat. As soon as we arrived, the staff were all aware there was 1 guest who would be gluten free, and they made sure to confirm with me any options or swaps on the menu for my meal choices. The meals were all served super promptly and looked stunning. My Lamb main was cooked perfectly, and everything had delicious flavouring. The staff were all friendly and very attentive to our table. Great restaurant, highly recommended!

N. P. G.

The menu had an impressive choice of Italian dishes. The atmosphere is great and there is a lot to take in. The staff are friendly and have smiles. A varied menu has interesting and complex dishes expertly prepared by the skilled chef. The coffee is well done.

B. L.

OMG! tonight my partner and I went for a nice quiet dinner. The wine matches were on point and the Pork! Yes! Wait staff were perfect and the chef came out twice to ensure the food was satisfying. I cannot recommend Area 41 enough. Ease support these guys, the atmosphere is perfect. We will be back again very soon!

P.

Really delicious food and incredible stuff, but the prices have increased lately, so sad!

r. w.

Had not heard of this place before although it's been around for a while. Menu was a bit weird to read but glad we went in. Staff were welcoming and attentive and the food was awesome. Breaky Burger was huge and eggs Benedict's were well received. Would definitely go back for brunch again.

H.

Great experience with my whanau. We had pizza, pork and fettuccine. The team catered for us at the last minute which is very appreciated and made the experience great.

A. K. J.

This is a great place if you want to enjoy affordable quality food in great italian decorated surroundings. We had a coffee and nice lunch with delicious risotto and burger. We loved the little extra feature with the coffee. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended!

D. B.

Very Good. It is very obvious this place has changed ownership. But I am almost pleased to say it's better. The prices are more affordable, the food is still very tasty and the service is pleasant and timely. Good on you Prohibition. It's tough to find a decent and affordable place to eat in New Plymouth.

H. J.

Lovely and friendly service. Food was delicious and quite large portions, I was too full to order a dessert. One star removed as it did take some time to get our food initially. But the 2nd course came pretty quickly after our starter which was a generous portion. Will definitely come back :)

D. P.

Very nice food. Mussle is wonderful & spinach alla cream is very tasty

r. w.

We called into this restaurant on the way to a show at the local theatre. We were in a hurry and mentioned this to the wait staff. We ordered pasta which was delivered to us as quick as lightening. This was about 2 weeks ago and we are STILL talking about it! It was delightful. Looking forward to going back :)

A.

Beautiful atmosphere great food lovely presentation and lovely waitress Will definitely be going back ❤️

A. G.

Very nicely decorated bar/restaurant found myself staring at the tattoo art on the walls at multiple occasions. We just had some snacks but they were very nice. Great selection of craft beer available. Would recommend for a quick bite and few beers if you are in New Plymouth.

S.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended

B. D.

Wicked food and lovely staff, would definitely go here again

E. n.

It was ok, there is better in town. The antipasto platter was half and half the dips were nice the charcuterie lacking a lot of bread - big though if you want to order for a large group. Fabulous lapb cutlets the sides just so so overcooked and oversauced. Italian rose ok.

J.

The best creamy mushrooms in New Plymouth. Highly recommend Area 41. Lovely atmosphere, customer service and food. If you're looking for a great place for a family gathering or romantic date this will impress.

M. W.

Called in for lunch on Wednesday 9th Sept. Was greeted by very friendly staff in nice clean setting. Meals were excellent (large). Well worth a visit.

M. M.

We are down from Auckland and staying at the Copthorne hotel accross the road from Area 41. We have just eaten dinner and can highly recommend this place. The staff are friendly and helpful without being obsequious. My rare steak was cooked perfectly. The attention to detail and flavour created in each dish was exceptional. The music created a great 1930s vibe. The price was not too bad given the quality of the food.

D.

Amazing meal! Got our fill of pasta after the mountain to surf half marathon. We loved the background music too, so many hits in a classic Italian style. I would give the service 20 stars if I could!

V.

The Gnocchi and Penne pasta was fantastic, great texture and bold flavours, but the Tirimasu had no coffee flavour and brulee was over cooked which was sent back. No apology for that. Not in a hurry to go back.

E. A.

Went for dinner tnyt and it was just amazing the entree and the mains were just delicious so much flavour this will be our first pick for date nights. Can’t wait to try the other food on the menu.

A. C.

We had dinner here and while my pasta was good and edible my partners wasn’t it had ingredients specified missing and herbs added that made it bitter. Large pieces of red and yellow peppers that were not cooked. Staff offered to replace it and did not charge us for the meal. Maybe a fill in chef was working

B. E.

A group of 5 of us went as we are down here for the Tattoo Expo. First of all the style of Prohibition was fantastic with tattoo based artwork and a really cool layout for all people who were dining there. Service was great and awesome burger selection. Food tasted amazing and everyone enjoyed the experience. Would recommend for anyone especially people who have interests in the Tattoo's.

V. T.

I like the Moa beer selection, and plenty of other drink options. Fries were standard. But renovation in the dining area hasn't been finished, and the music was too much like elevator music. But will go back sometime!

J.

Beautiful food and wine and great service

E.

The most amazing pizza, desserts to die for and wonderful and attentive staff, just such a lovely place

L. J.

Went for dinner with my Fiancé, enjoyed a couple of pasta's, a beer and a cider. Excellent food and service from the staff! Couldn't fault it! Would definitely recommend them.

B. C.

I'm not a big burger fan but i decided to come here with my friend and we shared one burger and a side of fries. The burger was chicken and something i don't really remember what it was but I have to say it was the best burger I have tasted in my whole entire life and probably the best meal I've ever had. The bread bun was not too heavy or over powering and there was an abundance of sauce. (melts in your mouth) The fries were the best fries i have ever had. They were cooked to perfection and had what they called garlic and celery salt, and also Parmesan cheese on top. I couldn't really taste the celery (thank goodness) but the combination of this was so nice. We can't stop talking about our dream burger and fries we had that night (2 weeks later) service was nice and the waiter was kinda cute. If only there was another restaurant in wellington.

M. N.

My sister and her family came from Auckland to visit me. I've heard of Prohibition before but never had a chance to go. We all agreed to come and give it a try. We had lamb burger, pork belly burger and fish n' chips. They are all excellent, especially the pork belly burger. I got myself a nice cup of Vietnamese coffee and that was one of the best coffee I've ever had. Certainly will come back.

M.

Great food. Exceptional service. Thanks.

p. S.

Awesome Burgers and great selection of beers. Do try their special Vietnamese coffee. The Ambience of the place with nice artwork on the walls and vintage furniture sets a good mood. This place also offers takeaways. Must go, if you are in the region

j. g.

We truly enjoyed the food at Area 41. The pizza was particularly delicious as was our raspberry brulee dessert. The service was excellent as well. Thank you for a fine time.

G.

The food was amazing... i had the angus sirloin steak and it was cooked to perfection, melt in your mouth moment. The service was great!

J. H.

Warm, welcoming environment, nicely decorated. Good choice of foods and drinks on the menu. Waiter very pleasant and helpful. Food very well presented and delicious. Would recommend and will visit again when in area.

C. K.

Had the boss burger and chilli cheese bites. Both delicious tho chilli cheese bites could've been a bit spicier

S.

Great choice of food, tasty food, nice atmosphere great staff.

G.

Excellent service, great meals. Top notch. Special thanks to Sophie

S.

Service was good even when they were busy. We had a large group and meals all came together. Food was great. Flavours were delicious.

R. K.

Beautiful pasta meals, fast service ,attentive staff overall experience A+++ Would definately come back to this place again..

J.

Excellent service but the food is incredibly average and there are far better places to eat out in New Plymouth.

D. L.

Our new favourite restaurant. Gorgeous interior and ambience. Food was spectacular and extremely well priced! Service was friendly and fast. Highly recommended!

V.

Excellent hospitality, kind staff

A. W.

Great beers and burgers. Nice place though quite cold but I guess that's how it is everywhere in New Zealand in wintertime. Good to dine in groups or alone. Very kind and helpful staff.

R. ..

Good service, food is average. Had some pasta, the sauce was good but the pasta undercooked. Al Dente is not that ferm. Had the tiramisu for desert. Never again. Some might like it, I did not.

M. S.

I had tried their vegetarian pizza( Karan chef special) and it was awesome in taste. Best pizza in town. Would highly recommend.

R.

Very nice food and service including full explanation of the variety of items in the desserts we ordered.

M.

Great food, great service 👍

P.

Good food selection. Food is well made and tasty. Nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly.

We dined here on the Christmas day. The only place that was opened on the christmas day to our relief.We had some friends visiting from auckland so we surfed the entire city for a place to dine in but couldn’t find a single restaurant that was opened but this one.Hats off to the staff for having worked so hard on a public holiday where they should’ve been celebrating at home instead.This was our first dining experience at Area 41 and it couldn’t be great.The staff was very friendly and attentive.And the food was delicious.The ambience is great.Will visit again for sure.Five stars for the amazing staff.

B. P.

Good restaurant, serving good Italian style dishes. The calamari starter is a must, so tender and flavoursome

L.

Delicious food - great wait staff - overall excellent experience

M.

Totally delicious food. Service was excellent. All 5 of us would definitely recommend this restaurant.

B. R.

Fantastic food. Great prices. Staff were exceptional. Definitely recommend

N.

Great food, great service

P. S.

Hip venue serving hip yum from a hip menu by hip peoples. Eat in or take the fabulous option to just stand at the bar and have a Pinot Gris or 2 while they prepare and package it for you. Seriously good food. Injustice to shove it on a motel room plate. Should have taken their advice and eaten in, exercise garb, sweat and all you get the sense they just want you to enjoy what they're offering.

M. C.

We had an excellent pizza here at lunchtime and were relieved to find somewhere comfortable, with pleasant music and very attentive service. Reasonably priced.

A.

Must try: Mussels with garlic ciabatta Fish burger Any risotto! Carbonara Big kiwi breakfast Triple Chocolate Biscotti (winner!) Desserts are a bit pricey tho. They are on First Table too! Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

C. L.

Great meal, Sicilian Garlic Chicken was fantastic. Pork belly was excellent. Great service, and friendly staff make this joint a must see.

M.

Fantastic food and great service would definitely recommend!

(Translated) I had chicken breast. Very nice tender meat and lots of local vegetables. Was delicious and fresh, definitely a recommendation. The place is cozy and rather upscale. (Original) Ich hatte Chicken Breast. Sehr schönes zartes Fleisch und auch viel lokales Gemüse. War lecker und frisch, definitiv eine Empfehlung. Das Lokal ist gemütlich und eher etwas gehoben.

W.

(Translated) Nice service! Very good food (pasta afogato and risotto funghi and bruschetta) Good calm music. Just the right thing after 350 kilometers. (Original) Nette Bedienung! Sehr gutes Essen (Nudeln Afogato und Risotto Funghi und Bruschetta) Gute ruhige Musik. Nach 350 Kilometer Fahrt genau das richtige.

j.

(Translated) The atmosphere is nice and the interior is nice. The steak has so many sides that it tastes a bit worse than last time (Original) 분위기가 좋고 인테리어가 좋아요파스타 종류가 많고 양도 많아요 스테이크가 싸이드가 너무 많아 조금 맛이 지난번보다 떨어진것같아요
