    I can only comment on the service we received as guests at a wedding, the quality of food, and the ambience. Top notch in all aspects. Will definitely consider this as a possible venue for a special occasion. And we’re central/east Aucklanders.

    + PROS: Excellent service with a smile for the entire event. You guys are amazing. Thank you.

    Coffees were very luke warm, calzone was so spicy for us was (our tongues were numb), sorry to say for a busy resturant at lunch time the service was very slow. I was told this was due to understaffing. We felt that this was not value for money.

    Service was so good and the atmosphere was very relaxing. We visited for a coffee on the 21.11.24 and ended up having cake and kids pasta. The service was fantastic the food was quick and tasty. Some of the best food I have eaten in NZ!

    Overall very nice experience, the ambiance is great . We went for lunch. Food was nice but not many vegetarian options. Apart from that great service and the place had nice views with both indoor and outdoor sittings.

    Excellent Service, stunning Restarant and Café, the most delicious refreshing mocktail. Awesome playground for the kids and the real fruit ice cream and fresh strawberries were a real treat after!

    Celebrate my birthday with Camorsa tonight. Food are delicious. Atmosphere is good for date and gathering. It will be great if there is more gentle light source such as candles as a little bit too dark for me. Overall, it is a good dinning experience.

    Lovely food and coffee. We stayed for a drink after also. A bustling restaurant with lovely decor. Felt the service was the only let down. It could have been better. The staff seemed preoccupied and disinterested in customers.We ordered the eggs brne with Salmon and the Big Breakfast.

    Popped down from Auckland for a family gathering. The staff were most friendly and helpful. The food was a surprise, I didn't expect everything to be so tasty. I went for two small side dishes as I wasn't hungry enough for a larger plate. Decent serving sizes indeed, I would love to return and possibly try the pizza's.
