Sails Restaurant

Visited here on my son’s birthday and had excellent time. The view across the harbour bridge was breathtaking, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We liked the entrees as much as the main courses. Received a surprise birthday plate. The service was outstanding, with a very friendly senior staff.

We had the most unforgettable experience at Sails Restaurant celebrating a special day, and the hospitality was nothing short of exceptional. A special shoutout to Sireli, who went above and beyond to make sure everything felt personal and memorable — he and the entire team made us feel truly celebrated and cared for. The drinks were next level! We ordered a Pina Colada, Martini, and a virgin cocktail — each one was crafted perfectly and absolutely delicious. The food and service were equally amazing. The house bread was fresh and flavorful, and the calamari and scallops entrees were simply divine — fresh, tender, and beautifully presented. The highlight was the Surf and Turf with crayfish tail, half crayfish in house sauce, and greens — every bite was bursting with flavor. To top it all off, the sweets plate with the birthday petit four was the perfect cherry on the cake. We left not just full from the incredible meal, but full of joy from the way we were looked after. Truly a memorable experience. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Review from our visit in June 2024 An excellent all-round experience. The balanced menu, attentive service, and chic ambience set the stage for a memorable evening. The wine pairing was thoughtfully selected to enhance each dish perfectly. Highly recommended.

Unseren letzten Abend von unserer Rundreise durch Neuseeland genossen wir im Sails Restaurant - von der ersten Minute war es ein Genuss. Wir haben uns für das Menü inklusive der Weinbegleitung entschieden. Der Service war jederzeit zuvorkommend, blickig aber nie aufdringlich und die Aussicht auf den Hafen einfach göttlich. Wir empfehlen auf jeden Fall eine Reservierung zu machen.

We had a lovely dinner on Sunday. The place was very warm and welcoming, with a beautiful view of the Harbour Bridge, and we were able to engage in our conversation. For starters, we had pan-seared scallops, breaded scallops, and chicken liver parfait — all were amazing. Our mains were grilled prawns on lemon risotto and the market fish, which was snapper, served with mashed potatoes, tomatoes, a garden salad, and fries. For dessert, we had petit fours and crème brûlée with feijoa sorbet.

Last time I was at Sails it was pre covid, so wasn't sure if it was still good with so many fine dining competitors on the scene these days. Can't beat the view looking over the Marina and a view of the Harbour Bridge. Set menu with wine paring overall great flavours and solid pared wines. The duck was on the quite well done side, hence the 4/5 comparing it restaurants of the equivalent price point. Well worth a return visit.

Went we very very good friends and although a late seating was absolutely amazing, stunning views, beautiful food, ( although hard to see at times ) I love every morsel but hubby was a little worried and in the end loved it too Wait staff are fabulous
