I came here with my family for the breakfast. It was super average. There were 10 of us, and the only other family here was a small young European family who didn't seem to like their meal. I don't blame them! I actually didn't like my meal myself. they open I think from 7am, and their breakfast is buffet. The only thing I liked about the buffet table was the deep fried dough tongans are good at making. their eggs, dry , tasteless and limp- not juicy like normal scrambled eggs in buffets. We had to wait for out bacon and sausages to be cooked and even when that was done, that was served on individual plates and brought to our table. Describing the sausages, you can literal go to the chinese store and buy a pack and cook at home. There was nothing special about it. No ready made coffee, its like we arrived there and the staff stood around waiting for us to order....but its a buffet breakfast? we also had to wait for our toast, which is btw general bread -nothing special. Coffee the guy made me was too strong, I can tell he didn't know how to work the machine. I think the staff was more overwhelmed that there were even customers. My Aunty - who lives here in Tonga, enjoyed herself. I and my aunty from Australia and my cousins from NZ, we were just saddened at how basic this place is. So Foreigners! Only come here if you really have no place to go for breakfast.

We were guests at the Heilala Lodge and decided to have a meal here one night. I had the fish and chips and it was delicious. The batter was amazing. The portions were large. Good value. Just remember to order before midday.It was a very enjoyable meal.

This place is low key from the outside. It's on the corner of Wellington and Tu'i roads. We came for dinner and had a home made burger and bun with avocado and sprouts, and a chicken fajita. Both were really excellent and fresh. You can tell the owner has made a real effort to create a nice ambience here - just needs a few more people to reward all her efforts!Bring your own wine, as they don't have alcohol.

Luna Rossa was highly recommended by some friends but after having a glance at the kitchen, I was a bit disappointed. Food quality is fine but not impressive. Service is really good but I think kitchen and the ambiance of the restaurant should be improved.

Hi there, I would love to review this restaurant, however its only listed on your site as a hotel and not restaurant, and as we didn't stay there didn't feel right in reviewing it as such. Hope you can help, cheers.

We were very happily surprised at the level of the dining. We stayed at the lodge and were quite happy with accommodations (see separate review). All of our meals were excellent. We had 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts, and tried other restaurants as well. Service was always very friendly, fast and accurate. It was very pleasant to sit on the veranda, getting cool breezes with supper.Eggs in the morning were cooked perfectly to our specifications and bacon was sweet with a (?) brown sugar flavor. Our dinner choices included, prawns (served cold on a salad), glass noodles with spicy pork (not spicy, just wonderfully flavorful), beef fillet (very tender and cooked correctly; served with a delicious red wine reduction), chicken "Gordon Blue" (stuffed breast with cheese and bacon and a yummy sauce) and octopus (very tender and full of flavor).All sauces on the dishes were just right in quantity and had marvelous flavor. Well done, Seaview!

Little Italy Restaurant opened its door to the community of Tonga in 1996 in a beautiful traditional Tongan Fale(House). However, now with a 22 rooms hotel attached to the restaurant, walking distance from the original location. Little Italy prided itself

This is a lovely restaurant in a beautiful setting. The presentation of the meal was very good.Thank you for your kind review. We appreciate your review and hope we do see you again here at Waterfront. Our fish dishes are always fresh for our customers and we are delighted that you enjoyed on your visit.
