Came with 1st table, so it was great eating dinner early, and very fast service. Food was delicious, they have a small menu but know how to do everything on the menu perfectly. Very high quality food and decent portion sizes. Worth coming back to for special occasions.
Went here to celebrate my birthday with my friends. Our server was so nice and polite and didn't mind us staying for around 3 hours 'cause we had such a good time catching up and enjoying our food. The ambience is very classy. If you're lucky to catch the sunset, make sure you take some pictures. The clam linguini was delicious and the creme brulee too. Been here twice and will visit again soon!

Came here for a birthday dinner using First Tables and everything went very smoothly.
We had amazing service from our waiter. He sorted out any issues we had instantly and made sure that everyone was happy and made conversation throughout the night.
The food was decent for the price. I loved the Fish Crudo (entree) that we ended up getting another one. The Wagyu beef tataki was also amazing, and everyone loved it.
For my main, I got the wagyu cheeseburger, which was cooked perfectly and definitely not something I would normally get at a restaurant like this, but it was super filling. We also got the Scotch Filet - unfortunately, it was overcooked (asked for medium rare got a medium). The waiter offered multiple times to take it back to the kitchen, but we thought it would be too much of a hassle for everyone.
Overall we had a lovely time here, definitely a worth it place to come especially with first tables. The place had a nice vibe and absolutely amazing service.

Amazing restaurant with excellent service. We went here last week for our anniversary. The food was DIVINE and the service to match it. This was last week Wednesday, thank you so much to the staff for making our anniversary so memorable!!
Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Vue! Amazing food, excellent service and beautiful views. Found them competitively priced. We started our evening with the bread and burnt butter (heavenly!). We shared the salmon, which was very tasty but a tiny portion - definitely not a mains size. Hubby had the lamb shoulder which he reckons was the best slow cooked meat he’s ever had! Something crunchy would have completed the meal perfectly so he had my fries. I had the scotch steak which was good, not as amazing as the lamb but can’t fault it and we shared the cauliflower. For dessert we shared the coconut creme brûlée and the key lime meringue - both were very fantastic. Can’t wait to go back and try next seasons menu!
Was wonderful place with nice view:) kind staff with great service. I had 3 main with lamb, beef, and king prawn . Were okay for 2 pple haha
I started going to this restaurant when I would stay at the Grand Mercure for work. I enjoy this restaurant and it’s view so much I head back there when staying at other hotels. The food is alway delish and they have a decent wine selection. Last nights dinners was particularly good. I had the lamb shoulder and the cauliflower with Gouda cheese which was massive. The guy at the table next to me order the lamb as well and he commented how good it was so I knew when mine arrived it’d be great... and it was. Go check this place out as well as their bar.
Went for a Valentine's day dinner with my gf.
I wasn't expecting much but I was positively suprised.
The location is amazing and the service one of the best.
We have the truffle and parmesan fries for starters, the beef tataki and baked fish for mains.
They didn't disappoint us, quite the opposite.
Flavours very well balanced, the tataki beef was soft( just the way I like it) and the baked fish didn't had any flaws...just perfect.
Overall, a very good experience and a most likely see you soon.
Delicious prawn curry.
Everything else was excellent too, so too was the service.
Window views were stunning. Last time I came was 5 years ago. But now it is even better. Will be back again. Truffle fries tasted crunchy and delicious.

Vue restaurant have prefect deco and view. Every dishes were delicious and service were warm and friendly. Love the king prawn red curry the best, i even ate all the sauce
I came here for my birthday lunch in January in the middle of a storm, we came in flustered from the rain and I was holding my birthday bouquet. The staff was extremely helpful even taking care of my flowers for me, ambiance is amazing and we were given a seat by the glass windows and the view was spectacular! Food was great too! Kudos to the team at Vue Restaurant, would definitely go back again!

Entrees began with beef, fish, and salmon. My personal favourite was the salmon. It tasted fresh and the sauce was really good. For one of the mains, we had pasta and chicken. The pasta was creamy but the chicken didn't taste very tender. Another main was the fish. It was served with black rice and mushrooms. The mushrooms were very sweet and the black rice helped to even it out the sweetness. The other main was the pork belly. I usually don't eat pork belly but this one tasted amazing. It was juicy and the meat was tender! The last main was the steak. It was medium rare and cooked extremely well as I could taste the smoked flavour even though it wasn't burnt. I highly recommend the medium rare steak. We ended with desserts. To me, the chocolate tart and mousse was too sweet for my preference. Unlike the creme brulee which was creamy and not too sweet. The mint ice cream that came with the chocolate mousse was one of my favourites as I could taste a creamy dairy texture inside it. The fries came late but was as a very side to our mains. It was a great way to finish the meal.
Had an amazing Father's Day breakfast. The team were so helpful and friendly. Could not fault both the food or the team. Thanks for making our day.
We went for father's day buffet, as soon as you come out the elevator and get seated you can't help but be blown away by the breath taking view, which was a great start to our family outing. The politeness of the hosts and waitresses was very inviting, but the highlight was definitely the food...the steak and oyster pie was my favourite main and the mango and coconut mousse just devine! Definitely looking forward to coming back here.

I went here last night with my work colleagues. We were all really impressed with the hotels upgrades and the view from the restaurant is stunning! Plenty of seating in the restaurant and they also have a separate bar area.
The service is impeccable! Every one was very friendly and helpful when asked questions. Our waters were always topped up, plates cleared and courses came without a fault.
The downside of the evening however was the food. It was beautifully presented however the dishes just weren't amazing. I had the chicken entree (along with the rest of my colleagues) we all agreed that it was overly sweet for a savoury dish and the chicken with the skin on was weird as it was just slimy and there. For main I had the lamb rack. The lamb was cooked beautifully it was what it was served with that was the let down. Polenta had no flavour, the carrot aspect was just plain weird in texture and taste.
Overall it was a nice evening out however I probably wouldn't come back again as there are plenty of other places to go to that serve amazing food in Auckland.
Went on a very quiet evening..Were seated by the window which i had requested. Service was very attentive as there were only a few people dining due to the All Blacks game.Entree was the endive salad which was fresh, main was fish of the day and salmon..Both were very good and were cooked to perfection.The snapper didn't have crispy skin though..Desserts were the strawberry and chocolate. Overall very nice food and atmosphere.

Update from my visit on the 16-12-2017 for dinner at 8pm:
4 of us girls came here and all ordered the steak. 300 Grams of goodness with the most delicious marrow jus, it was actually better than the red wine one.
It also came with a huge piece of marrow which we all did not eat just due to our own preferences. i'm sure if we liked marrow we may have considered eating it.
for the sides i would highly recommend the carrots with herbs. Super delicious as were the peri peri chips.
Negatives: Please don't serve complimentary breads if they are going to be cold and stale. Not to mention butter that was not very good at all. If you do want to serve this it's a great idea but make sure the breads are crusty and hot and the butter is whipped not stone cold and oddly flakey.
Older review: Lovely place for a lunch and dinner. I had my 21st function over here by the bar area, while my parents had dinner at the Vue Restaurant. Although this was now 5 years ago we still come here every 2-3 months for a meal. If you have an Accor hotels loyalty card it's a bonus as you get 50% off the food bill.
Usually order the Steak
Manuka smoked Harmony organic eye fillet, 39
confit short rib, cauliflower, chestnut crème,
wild mushroom, white truffle popcorn
Surprisingly hard to get hold of the menu anywhere online. They should really update it here. The eye fillet was cooked nice and rare as i liked it. I didn't get all the side bits and bobs as per the description above as we went for lunch and they specially made a steak for us which was super nice.
Oh yeah and of course the view is breathtaking!
Been here about 4 times for the buffet breakfast. It's not great but if you have a grabone worth trying out once. I found that the first two times were good but the last two were really bad for breakfast, so i haven't been back.
Saying that the a-la-carte menu is great :)
We went on my birthday for dinner which we both enjoyed our time here.
Great view of the viaduct harbour. The food was tasting. Extremely friendly staff with great service.
It was such a pleasant experice 😊
It a nice rooftop restaurant specifically famous for breakfast deals via grabone. The English breakfast served here is quite normal however if you going with a deal then you might think that its value for money.
Ham ,sausages, mushrooms, eggs ,cutlets( my favorite) ,juices,fruits and breads are quite nicely prepared . Staff is also friendly and one can expect a full house during early morning hours .
Tabete mimashou !
Went for the buffet, good variety of breakfast option and friendly staff. Well worth the value if you purchase the occasional voucher that pop up.
Have been to Vue for breakfast buffet using a Grabone coupon multiple times and the selection of food has been consistent over the past few years.
You can expect the regular breakfast foods such as a variety of bakery, eggs, bacon, sausages, pancake, cereals, yoghurt, fruits, nuts, juice, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate... And many more.
The food itself is nothing too special, just regular English breakfast, however the view is amazing as it is at the highest level of Mercure hotel next to the port; the staff is friendly; the food is consistently resupplied; the environment is clean, modern and classy.
It is definitely worth it if you have the Grabone coupon (less than $15 per person). You could even skip lunch if you stuff yourself until you feel like throwing up.
It's a great breakfast to start the day!
29-OCT-2018 : Got to reacquaint myself with this restaurant and the upgraded Grand Mercure Auckland. Enjoyed the nicely medium rare Scotch with red wine jus and truffle fries. Delicious!
02-DEC-2015 : This restaurant has fantastic views from the 13th floor of Mercure Auckland. The breakfast buffet spread is decent with a good choice of hot and cold dishes. At least 4 choices of juice and selection of bread. Lunch menu is small but sufficient variety.
Great resturant if u are wanting a meal in a high end meal. View is amazing, service excellent and the food is prepared to a high standard. Would recommend for any special occasion. But be sure to book to reserve a seat next to the window. Both Rachel and I would come back again.

I came here with my family last weekend for Labour weekend dinner. We've been here a couple of times for breakfast but we'd never been to dinner. So we thought we'd try it out.
We knew what to expect in terms of atmosphere, service and the impeccable view! Since the restaurant is situated at the top of the Mecure Hotel it hosts an amazing view of Auckland's Harbour. We went around 7ish so it was perfect timing to watching the light turn into night.
We started off with entree ordering 3 dishes between the 4 of us: zucchini chips, pork belly and a bread platter. The zucchini chips were my fav! They were seasoned well and came with chipotle sauce which was a great combination. For main I got the line caught fish - which ended up being salmon, my brother got the free range chicken breast - coq au vin style, mum got the winter vegetarian - vegetable soufflé and dad got the eye fillet. We were all very happy with our mains. My salmon was cooked perfectly and the cloudy bay clams gave it that extra touch. Since I don't eat beef I had a try of my mums and brothers dish. Both were very flavoursome and cooked to perfection! To finish my brother and I both got dessert. Probably wasn't the best idea since I literally couldn't eat anymore! I ended up getting the custard and cardamon slice and my brother got the lemon mousse. Both complemented the mains well.
A great place for dinner! The waiters are very attentive and friendly offering amazing service. I highly recommend if you are wanting a flavoursome and hearty meal. I would definitely come back for more!
We came here for our anniversary.. The views are absolutely stunning!
We usually try to pick different dishes off the menu but this time we both liked the same steak dish and we decided go for it...
when the food arrived there was soo much going on the dish we didn't know where to start but once started we couldn't stop till we finished the whole plate..
Based on that particular dish I this place a 4.5

Babysat a mate recovery from surgery fortnight ago. Yes, looks can be deceiving from the entrance of the hotel foyer to actual rooms which is very dated/tired n in desperate need of a make-over incl. bathrooms, lumpy mattresses & hospital graded sheets Fans desperately needed in bathrooms BUT despite all this - the customer service was simply VA-VA-VOOM! Especially the 2 friendly young Indian FOH staff in dinning room n the friendly young Indian lady behind the bar. She delivered superb customer service all thorough-out our stay, spoke beautiful English, was impeccably dressed n just a pleasant all-rounder to chat with. To say the views are stunning would be putting it mildly, the views are INCREDIBLE. Despite the lengthy wait for a small piece of fillet steak to be cooked, compliments to the chef esp. deep fried onion rings with garlic aloli cooked beautifully, very lightly battered, crisp & yummy. The meals were ogled at, photographed then demolished with gusto after an exhaustive day at hospital. Thank you Mercure hotel, we will definitely be recommending and returning to experience the delightful customer service.
Beautiful venue and offered seats right by the window to enjoy the view. Friendly staff - thank you to Rebecca Liddle in particular.
Had the steak for lunch - super yummy but was more medium than medium rare. Fantastic fries.
Ordered wine and they didn't have any currently of the one we were after but very friendly and apologetic and offered good alternatives.
Sounded very knowledgeable despite being new.
Had a few issues with the eftpos machine which held us up a wee bit but we did get there in the end.
Will be coming back for another visit but when we have voucher or something as it's a little more expensive for a lunch than it warrants.
When we came here I had quite high hopes.
But to start with I feel like the waiters must be new? It didn't feel like they knew what they were doing. But they were friendly.
I did like the booth seating but sadly we did not get offered those seats even though the place was completely empty.
We had the set menu of 5 courses.
The food was actually very good!
Their lamb was amazing!!
But my only issue was that two consecutive courses had large portions of had some kind of beans in it, I think it was lentils? This made it WAAAAY too filling before our last 2 courses.
Have dined here multiple times. Food is always fantastic, great service. Love the view and would highly recommend to people. The mains, breads and sides are decent portions. Would love to see a more creative dessert menu as we always wish to have dessert but end up going elsewhere. Lovely atmosphere none-the-less.
The food was very good, hot and well presented. The views are fantastic.
Great food, great view. But the air con was freezing and the service staff were a bit rude which was disappointing.
Absolutely sensational refurbishment.....Great views, embiance and food on Xmas day - we will be back for more. City views one side - harbour views the other. Very exciting new decor and menu.
Was taken there as a birthday surprise... The food was great and proportions were generous but the service didn't quite match the price or the service . It can be very loud if there are groups of people. However I'm not put off and would go again.
Atmosphere and decor, fantastic, really cool views, service spot on, fast but there weren't many people there. Food was ok, tasty and good portion size. Chicken dish we had, the chicken was quite dry unfortunately. Had an early sitting so half price. Happy experience. Would I come back? Yes definitely. Try some other dishes.
Vue is nicely furnished, has separate lounge, bar, and restaurant areas, a short but tasty menu, and of course the titular view. We brought 2 kids along for a family birthday dinner on a weeknight, and it was quiet and pleasant. They do have a kids' menu. The adults' menu is a bit pricey for the small sizes - you'll need a couple of dishes to be full - but I guess you're paying for the view.
Came with 1st table, so it was great eating dinner early, and very fast service. Food was delicious, they have a small menu but know how to do everything on the menu perfectly. Very high quality food and decent portion sizes. Worth coming back to for special occasions.
Amazing food and great service! Had my boyfriend's birthday celebration here. Was a wonderful experience. The service was a bit slow. But the food came right away after we told them that we have a show to catch.
Fantastic fine dinning place here. At the top of hotel, you can see a whole habor view when dinning. Clean and bright space with a liitle oriental element.
Lovely food in fusion style and artistic decoration. Salmon with takiyaki style and japanese soy sauce. Tapioka Tofu, quite different with Agedashi tofu, must try. Grilled fish with itallian dried tomato, special combination.
Friendly staff with perfect service.

Probably one of the greatest views of the habour in the City! To top it off, the menu is bursting with options and flavors to try.
On this recent visit I was hosting diplomats from two foreign nations and when deciding a location I didnt hesitate to choose Vue. I decided of all the great options, lamb and roasted cauliflower was jumping out to me!
The rack of lamb cooked perfectly medium rare and couples with the roasted cauliflower was the right combo! Try some of their fries drizzled with truffle oil if you want a starter!
Tell them I sent you!

Beautiful ambience lovely food .polite staff
Decided to come here through a grab one deal and the experience was fantastic. Would definitely come back.
All perfect! Fine dining, Great view, Nice Waitress!
We had a lovely meal here, only fault was my hapuka skin wasn't crisp :( apart from that it was great! Service great & nice views!
Absolutely amazing food, great service, will be back again.
Beautiful views, wonderful service. I had the squid salad and my guest had the ceasar salad we had the sourdough bread. A couple of beers and coffee and tea to finish a casual business lunch. We were there for 2 hours and had great service with pressure or hassle. Food was excellent and total bill was $99.20.
Isaac our waiter was fantastic!-a real credit/asset to his employer.
Wonderful ambience here with stunning views of Auckland harbour & the city-even more special as day light faded away.
Our meals were stunning!
Chicken moist, Scotch Steak cooked to perfection, side dishes extremely fresh & crisp.
Highly recommended, we will most certainly return here.
I came here for dinner with friends for a birthday. The menu is a little small but the meals were fabulous. Very delicious. We provided a cake and the staff were great in delivering it. The staff were also very patient with one member of our group who was being a bit demanding and rude. The restaurant is also laid out really well and we had a bit of a view over the harbour. Would definately recommend this restaurant.
