Has to be one of the best BYO option restaurant in AKL, extremely well price with fantastic menu options. Staff are friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back. Parking can be a bit challenging in Parnell Rd, well worth finding a car park or get a cab, you won't be disapointed

Went with a couple friends over from Australia. I got the King Crab and Calamari Entrees and the A5 Wagyu for a main and it was worth ever dollar. Absolutely cooked to perfection and hands down the best meal I've ever had.

It was our first time at the restaurant, and what an amazing experience it was. The staff were amazing, and we were pleasantly surprised by all the little hors dâoeuvres that kept arriving at our table between courses! Sid, you have done an amazing job with the restaurant. Food and service is top notch.

This was out fifth visit over many years and it was again a pleasure; delicious meal cooked perfectly with great flavours, presentation with generous portions. Tonight we enjoyed the October Special menu; $68 for 3 courses plus bread to start and a side to share; all were outstanding and we both left throughly satisfied. As always we received excellent professional service in a quiet relaxed setting with a view of the marina and now also the lights on the harbour bridge, thank you again Sails!Regular diners - Fantastic.Thank you Amanda and Fraser for taking the time to write this review.We obviously will see you again soon.

Had a truly excellent fine dining meal last night. Very allergy friendly too. Great staff that explained every dish of lovely Indian fusion food that we were eating and its not every restaurant that can casually mention that they've just whipped up a coconut jelly to compliment your snapper crab when the dish contained a soy component. The whole meal tasted excellent and was complimented by seamless service. Loved it.

We planned on Orbit360 but due to the Sky City Convention Centre fire we looked for fine dining that was closer to where were staying. We had fine dining that exceeded our expectations and had a great waiter, Max. The Whitebait (NZ delicacy) was served coated on top of egg omlete roll. This made a great improvement from being stuck together with egg in the traditional manner. And that was the start of wonderful dishes presented in fine manner.

Went for the 7-course wine pairing dinner and what a wonderful experience. The plating, texture and taste of each course were so well composed, pairing with some of the rather unusual wines from around the world, making this evening a memorable one. 3 old friends from 40 plus years ago had such a good time reminiscing over dinner that the 4 hours went by so fast. Left the restaurant feeling full and happy. Thank you to Jordan who made our evening extra special by proving descriptions in the courseâs ingredients and the special characteristic of that particular paired wine. This meal will last a long time in our minds. Thank you also to the entire crew of Grove. You made our evening so great.

I feel like the menu was just a copy of other restaurants such as their kiwi onion dip which features on the Sugar clubs menu. They also offer "snacks" which is another sugar club feature. I also found it frustrating that a table of four could not do 2 x 3 course and 2 x 5 course and all had to do the same even when we mentioned we clearly understood that our courses and delivery times would not match.On a positive the waitresses were mostly lovely.Hi thank you for your review! Whilst we love the sugar club ( we also highly recommend it), especially when our friend Josh was at the helm we canât let them take credit for our menu format or items that have been running for almost two years. Snacks is a world wide format that we embraced to be able to have a little fun.Like most other restaurants we offer each menu for the whole table as it is a service step we decided on so we could deliver the best experience to you. We are a small owner operated business with a small team trying to go above and beyond, sometimes this means we have to decide where our limitations are and are sorry we could not deliver the experience you were after. We think The standard of New Zealand food is incredible and we should be very proud of it, we hope that the next restaurant you go is not judged a copycat immediately when they have âsnacksâ and you take some time to enjoy their interpretation of it.We would love to chat to you further about your evening [email protected] We hope that there is a next time and we have the opportunity to surpass any expectations.
