Glad to visit again especially since there weren't too many places to eat. Great staff, and menu options were good as well.
I had the BBQ Texas Ribs with mash. Being an American that love ribs, I recommend this to everyone. The right tenderness and the sauce was Great, not to mention the mash was melt in your mouth with great flavors!
The location and vibe is great, and to top it off there wasn't a holiday surcharge!
Thanks and looking forward to supporting you more and coming in for more yums.
Always great food and decent size portions, happy hour with $5.00 beers as well.
More than meets the eye! This place looks out of place for its location, however the food is quite good and is great value for money. Don't be fooled by the faded and shabby decor - the food and wine more than makes up for it. Granted, there may often be only one or two staff working, and when it's busy they can be inattentive, but for a quick and reasonably inexpensive lunch or dinner you can't go past this place on Prince's Wharf
Food is awesome and the owner cum head chef is super friendly and makes the best fish and chips + seafood paella ever
Nice food and good service! It seems such an inconspicuous spot, very quiet despite being right by the water, but it has a very thorough menu, especially for seafood lovers, but there's a meat and vegetarian section all aside pasta and pizza options. Good lunchtime specials on house beer and wine too. Enjoyed the quattro stagioni pizza a lot but even better is the service of the Japanese waitress there!
We came by on a very windy day and felt for the tiny waitress trying to control all the flapping table clothes and signs in the gale! It's a little too reliant on its harbour view tables and I wouldn't recommend coming here on a very cold or windy day as they don't seem to have a way to shelter the outdoor area (at least without compromising the view).
Went here today as it was a stunning day and we needed a beer. The $5 beers brought us in! The waitress was accommodating and brought us our beers before we could glimpse at the menu. We decided to share the steamed mussels in a spicy coconut sauce. I was expecting a big black pot of mussels and a chunk of bread. However, we received a bowl of mussels and no bread. The mussels were fresh and just cooked but that sauce. Holy moly that sauce was delicious, too bad we didn't have bread to mope it up with!
One day I was wondering around viaduct area with my friend for dinner. Everywhere we wanted to go was packed and I saw Neptune filled with 50s and 60s people and some people from Fullers. Well I presumed that this place gotta do nice food because oldies are almost always right with choice of nice food and it seemed like a favourite spot for the people who work nearby.
we had ribs, chips and crab and walnut pasta and my guess was correct!
Ribs are tender, juicy and full of flavours! I liked how they sprinkled paprika powder on the top!
Crab and walnut pasta was a top notch. When my friend chose this pasta I said the crab the menu says would be those fake crab meat but no they use real crab meat and it tastes amazingly nice. It is a must try menu!
I think they have a lack of staff when it's busy. Orders were delayed and forgotten because it was overwhelmingly busy for only 2 waitstaff which diminishes quality of service. So I took off an half star for that.
What a gem this place is, always friendly service and great food. plus the outlook over the harbour on a stunning day just tops it all off. Has become a go to for a nice night out in the viaduct.
OMG THE BEST LAMB SHANKS IVE EVER HAD. Absolutely loved my experience here. It wasn't really busy when we went here. The staff were nice. My food took a while to get out but definitely worth the wait.
My friend ordered a pizza which was alright but the lamb was top notch.
Definitely recommend this place.
Great food, great service, great location and great atmosphere. I would recommend this place thoroughly. I'm actually going back tonight with some friends as we had such a great time.
Nice view. Good food. Not expensive. And excellent service. I was here with my family during sunset, and had a perfect dinner from drinks to dessert.
Today I went with my friends to have lunch and was really nice. We were looking a restaurant in the Pierre and we decide enter here. The fish and chips was delicious and the attention really good too.
Had a great night out on Friday night at Neptune.
It was a cold night and the staff made sure we were cosy with the heaters all turned on.
The waiters Eddie and Ken were fantastic and attentive to our every need.
Had a few snacks and they were well priced and filling.

Like many other reviewers, we sort of stumbled over this place when looking for dinner on Princess Warf. If I were only reviewing the main dish and nothing else, I would give this place a five. But due to poor service and a disappointing dessert, I've had to bring their rating down more than I would have liked to. Firstly, the service here isn't good. The waiters are disinterested and not at all attentive. They aren't exactly rude, but they aren't far off it. We had to wait ages for them to take our drinks and food orders. They didn't really smile and weren't very friendly. And they were very slow. We ordered the calamari to share which was cooked beautifully. The calamari were grilled slightly, without any batter. This is how calamari should be. Next came the main. Wow! I had the salmon with roast potato, steamed veges and béarnaise sauce. This dish was amazing, I loved it. The portion was very generous and the flavours all worked well together. Absolutely delicious! My pal had the fish and chips which she enjoyed. Her portion was large as well. Apparently, for dessert, we shared the lemon meringue pie. I seemed to have missed the memo about lemon meringue pie now being a pavlova! How bizarre! The base was sort of lemon flavoured but it wasn't a pastry base and the top was pavlova! I was so confused, and very annoyed. Finding lemon meringue pie on a menu is a rare occurrence and the opportunity to order it must always be taken! But when I found myself with a pavlova instead of lemon meringue, my heart sank. I really like pavlova, but I didn't want a pavlova, I wanted a lemon meringue pie, damn it! The dessert actually tasted quite nice but that is absolutely besides the point. Overall, I did enjoy the food here. This place really needs to improve it's service. It has an extensive menu, great food and a wonderful view, but the service is letting them down big time. This place also needs to understand that when you falsely advertise a desert, you are playing with my emotions.
The mains here were absolutely TO DIE FOR! Could not fault them. Had amazing pork, paella, seafood platters, scallops etc. The drinks were super cheap too which was great for town. The service was a little average and they seemed a little understaffed but not too bad. The desserts were pretty bad though and expensive for the quality that they were. Overall though we were very impressed and had a great night. If you want amazing food, big portions and cheap drinks at the waterfront it's a great option. It has a beautiful aquarium too :)
Friends and i were looking for a place to eat out and fell across this place.
First i ordered soup of the day which was pumpkin soup with fresh bread OMG seriously the BEST pumpkin soup ever everything was perfect taste temperature and the bread so good.
For dinner i had lamb shanks again PERFECT meat fell off the bone perfection!
I went on Tuesday 19th,looking at the bottom of other peoples comments are not so good obviously different waiters and chefs on different days im going back again for sure bt will try again a Tuesday,my friends and i enjoyed the food and the service.
After the debacle at the restaurant I previously reveiwed, we were on the hunt for somewhere for a nice meal on New Years Eve. These guys were great. They were quick to organise a table for the four of us and made us feel very welcome. The food was fantastic! Very flavoursome and generous in portion size. The highlight would have to be the mussels we shared as an entree... I'd definitely recommend adding the chilli if you like your food with a little kick. Thanks for rescuing the evening!

Pity these previous reviews are old, as the service my wife and I received recently was superb.
The maitre'd was wonderful - it was a quiet Easter Friday, and she was busy trying to drum up business on a rather wet day. And her methods worked! We had already chosen to eat there, but we watched as she got passing cyclists in out of the rain, offering hot towels to dry themselves as they got coffee and wait out the rain.
Our food was superb. My wife had the Eggs Benedict and I had my staple decadent feed of Bacon & Banana Pancakes with maple syrup. And they did not disappoint. The coffee was spot on and the service we received was friendly and fast. And the bill was very reasonable, given it was a stat holiday.
I have been back since for an evening meal and had the Cajun Chicken. It was beautifully cooked and seasoned perfectly, and was a very generous portion. Again, the service was great, the beers were cheap, and the overall bill was fine for a leisurely meal out. The next time I am in Auckland, I will be back there and will slowly work my way through the menu. Cheers
Fantastic meal of fish n chips! Excellent view of the harbour plus the owner of over 20 years is just lovely. So glad I stopped here!
Had dinner here without a booking. Staff were extremely accomodating, friendly and helpful. Water views were immaculate. Ordered a seafood paella and the market fish of the day. Both dishes were very delicious and well worth the price. Would definitely come back here again.
The meals here are so good!! Great value, size and delicious in beautiful location. Highly recommended
We had a lovely meal at Neptunes, they had been very busy but were very apologetic and gave great service! The food was delicious and the drinks were cheap ~ $5 wine & beer you can’t go wrong, especially with the beautiful view over the water. They were open late mid week which seems to be a rarity in Auckland. Thank you Neptunes for a wonderful evening!
Third time i been here today...Cheapest drinks on Princes Wharf...Friendliest Staff and Ed, Owner, GREAT HOST. Food is great. Not too packed unless Fullers Staff are here ( it's their 'local') . Great music if you like old school, 60s-80s/90s.
I'd recommend this place to those unable to afford drinks at the close by Viaduct premises. Cheap cocktails from $14, Top shelf $3.50 p/shot, wine n beer $5...
A seafood restaurant on queens wharf. Great location, can imagine how lovely it would be to sit here on a summer evening with drinks overlooking the water. All our meals were tasty, especially loved the spicy prawns entree. Not much available for dessert but we weren't there for dessert anyway. Definitely be going back
Nice lunch Fish n Chip meal. Brilliant service. Take a seat wait staff will come to you for your order. Super helpful. Had lunch Labour Weekend while The Endeavour replica was there
Unexpectedly very good. Food was fantastic. Husband had the venison was very good
I had the scallops and prawns amazing.
We came for coffee, amazing service! Overlooking the harbour, you will surely enjoy the view, food and hospitality. We will surely come back..
We've been here a couple of times now. Nice service and a solid staff with a million dollar view. In addition, fair pricing means this will be a place we frequent more and more!
This place is awesome! Such lovely service and well decorated with a nice view. The drinks were delicious and really great prices too. The owner was very sweet and helped us out when we were being harassed by an intoxicated non-customer. Definitely recommend for a couple of drinks with your mates, but please be respectful in their bar!!
Would get 5 star if they tidy up all the clutter on the sides of the restaurant, not a pleasing sight indoors to see by the kitchen clutter. However having said that, the food is top notch, really friendly waiters and good service!
What a hidden Gem! This must have the freshest and tastiest seafood in Auckland. Neptunes is tucked halfway down princes wharf with beautiful fees out to the harbour bridge. We sat outside as it was sheltered from the wind… the place was packed! I ordered the fish of the day and was blown away by portion size, price and taste. Hubby had the battered fish and chips … the batter was light and tasty… done perfectly. Finally some decent old fashioned fish & chips. Cocktails were priced and on point. Young bartender but she definitely knew what she was doing. So happy we found this place. Staff super friendly and attentive.Will be back again very soon.
On the wharf side facing bridge-end of harbour, across from maritime museum.
Food was beautiful, huge variety of choices, service fast, pasta portions were huge. Decor just needs a freshening up to match their upmarket competitors/neighbours.
Would definitely come here again.
You will never find a restaurant or bar that has better service or prices than Neptune's.
It's not too loud and the view is brilliant.
This is really hidden on the wharf but worth the find. They had an awesome dessert menu to follow a great pasta meal.
Super nice food. Friendly staff! Beautiful location! Highly recommend this place!
