Pretty simple fare but all tasty stuff. Actually that doesn’t sound good enough, maybe the flavors weren’t the most exciting But everything was cooked perfect. Squid rings were crispy but tender and the fries, simple but supper crunchy on the outside but soft and fluffy inside. The “nachos” we’re nice and good for the lower carb option but it didn’t really taste like Mexican. Maybe more Rememisant of a Spanish mince on toast.
Good value, nice price, friendly staff, and tolerant of two screaming under 5s
Mark kindly rang and warned us about the Quiz night but we decided to still attend. The food was great! Chicken burger was brilliant and my sons steak was cooked perfectly. Apple crumble we shared and wished we hadn't. Service was great. A definite call again! Well done guys, maybe next time we may avoid quiz night though
We came here with group of friend to celebrate my partner birthday. The foods are great and came in large portions that we could hardly finish it. The service is exceptional and our server of the night is fantastic! The restaurant is always full so booking is essential.

Came here for some dinner and beer. The entrees were only $10 as it was Thursday. We got the pork belly and chicken wings and ordered some loaded wedges. The food was good pub food and the jug of beer was really reasonable $26.50 from memory. It was cozy inside and quiet. They took drink orders and food orders from the table and we paid at the end. The guy serving was lovely.
I loved getting Breakfast there this morning. The eggs Benedict was yummy and they have Friendly staff. 😀 it was a great start to my day. Thank you. ✌️✌️
Great sized portions, delicious food and wonderful staff - had eggs Benedict, a big breakfast, and a lambshank meal. Coffee was good too. Highly recommend.
Came here because of a Groupon voucher and so glad we did! Amazing food and really good service! Will definitely be coming back here with the family.
The service is utterly professional, friendly and the music and ambiance fits beautifully. 5 star recommendation from me, the food was lovely!
Customer Service was amazing even though we came in on a groupon coupon. Even let me try the different beers to see which one I liked, which I thought was super nice of them. Even though they had a quiz night still managed to accomodate us with great service and speed. Food tasted amazing as we went for the chefs grill, from the meat to the sides everything tasted great.Would 100% recommend and will definitely be going back.
Our first visit. We ordered a sambal chicken and fish and chips. Nice food, especially the fish and chips and quite a cosy setting. The male staff that attended to us was very pleasant. The sambal chicken seemed to be a bit overpriced as the portion wasn’t that big for a main but sufficient for lunch. I believe the menu is an ‘all day menu’. Overall a nice experience. Recommended. 👍
Stopped in for lunch, service was top notch our waiter was very attentive which made our dining experience that much better. We used a Groupon voucher too! Had the ribs, carbonara and big breakfast, pasta was the best along with the ribs, would highly recommend this place even if you just want to stop for a few quiet ones with friends 👌
Wow wow wow... we were not expecting the portion size to be this big!! Amazing!! The food was good, the atmosphere good, the two staff were very friendly and cheerful - thank you!! We got the ribs and lamb shank - both $24 each - good value!!! The chips were so yummy too!! Would come back :)
Came here a while ago with friends, The Dominion has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
It has many options on the menu to suit different taste buds and the price is good too. The alcohol portions are generous too, definitely worth the money.
Neat and tidy bar, and was pleasantly surprised to find food of this quality at a bar.
Only been here once, and had the Pulled Pork mini croquettes as a snack. It was so good! Highly recommend trying it.
Wonderful experience!!
Food = sensational.. especially the pork ribs thursday special. (Slaw is the best!!)
Staff = exceptionl service, very warm and welcoming.. couldn't ask for better 10/10
Ambiance = just great. Mood lighting had been switched on within minutes after arriving, very tidy and like the for room away from the punters.
I really enjoyed the food, although I do feel that the choice of dips provide with the bread could be better. That was the only turn off for me. Other than that. I loved the food and service. The staff was very nice, they made sure if we are enjoying the food or if we need something else. Overall, I liked this place and will definitely visit this place again.
Nice spot to get a grab and have a drink. Very cozy, friendly, pocket friendly and most off all, friendly service and great food for affordable prices. They have indoors and outdoor seating as well. Ordered for a main that came as fast as a starter. Will surely come back here! Jay the manager is the to go man when you are here. Made me feel home. Keep up the good work guys. :)
Had not been to The Dominion for a while, but it had recently changed hands so was great to try their new menu.
The wine & beer menu was good with several popular options. Currently no cocktails but they advised they would create a menu for these soon.
We tried the garlic & caramelised onion bread, the eye fillet & the beef pie. All were delicious, well presented & perfectly balanced. The only issue was that they took ages to arrive but our waiter did apologise & followed this up. They took a lot of time plating. Once they did arrive they were worth the wait thank goodness. No room for dessert although the menu looked yum.
Overall service was good & the fit out was good too with bench seats & high seats too.
This is my go to place when I'm stumped to what to book for dinner,it's a bar and restaurant,they don't disappoint, good food,friendly staff,good discounts,worth a try if ur in the area
Came here for some food and drinks before the rugby. The pizzas ordered were the pulled pork, margarita and jafa. They were decent but nothing overly exciting. We also ordered some antipasto platters that were cold when they got to the table which was a little disappointing.
Called the venue to make a booking, I was told to book online. Got a confirmed email booking the next day and that I can take a birthday cake to the venue- Awesome. Friendly staff all round. Got our table of over 10 people for my nephews 25th birthday. The assistant that looked after us was superb right through the night, until we left. Thank you for looking after us. All our meals we ordered had great presentation with big portion and tasted fantastic. After we ate, we had our cake brought to us and even had side plates for us to eat them. Felt a bit guilty eating the cake as they had delicious dessert on the menu. But it was a one off. As I would go here again for another dining. Thank you for allowing us to have the birthday cake. Service is great. Food is so ever great. Thank you, we All had a fantastic evening
I have been here a couple of times not expecting much but pub grub, but I was blown away with the dishes I had. They have daily specials which are great value for money, with good portion sizes. The items on the regular menu were amazing, my friend and I got the calamari, seafood linguine and pork belly, and for dessert pecan pie and coconut panna cotta. Service is really good with attentive staff and the indoor seating area at the back is a very intimate dining space that doesn't make it feel like you are in a bar at all. Would definitely recommend and come back again
This has become my local , great bar food, some of the most tender, delicious calamari I have had in a while, great selection of tap beers & cider , great for a reasonably priced Neal and a few cold drinks.GideonMarisa MasterchefNz2015
My family dinners usually take place every Monday at the Dominion, good food for half price ? Why would you go anywhere else? It usually takes a while for food to arrive, but for the price and quantity I guess I'm not really complaining. Food is usually great, portions are as big as the plate, but flavours can sometimes be inconsistent I have a feeling they change around their ingredients from time to time. I would not hesitate to dine here on a Monday night when they have their half price deal, but would I go on a normal night? Hmmmmm

My friend told us about Dominion’s $7 dessert and $7 cocktail special on Fridays so three of us made a visit there last week.
The decor is warm and inviting, a nice change from the arctic weather outside. There were a few diners having dinner and some having drinks. Steady but not too busy on this Friday evening.
The specials are not advertised on the premises, but once we told them we were interested in dessert and cocktails, the staff advised us of their $7 specials.
We tried the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee with shortbread; Chocolate Brownie with vanilla ice cream, berry compote, pistachio and brandy snap; and the Apple Crumble with pistachio ice cream. My favourite was the chocolate brownie which was very moist.
Their cocktail menu is unusual as it doesn’t feature any common cocktails but for $7 we were happy to try some new concoctions. The cocktails come in large mason jars, though the flavours are of candy and not too much booze.
A dessert and cocktail combo for $14. A bargain.
Came here on a saturday with a few friends and had the special $10 chicken & beef burgers, the beef and prawn salads. It was really nice food and the place was fairly quiet and relaxed and we could hang around as long as we wanted which was great for a mellow catch up with friends. The booth table corner seats were handy too as we have a baby and there was space for him to crawl/stand to entertain himself for a while! Service was great too.
Had my 21st birthday at The Dominion last weekend. Could not be happier with how everything turned out!The catering food menu was extensive and delicious. The staff were fantastic, very helpful and friendly. On the whole everything ran smoothly and I didn't have to worry about anything all night. The indoor and outdoor space is great and there is plenty of opportunity to decorate the place how you like.I would recommend this venue in a heartbeat. :)
Great place!! I was here for a 30th Birthday and didn't know there was a private function room upstairs before the event. Awesome nibbles and great outdoor space.
My partner and I arrived just before the kitchen closed the staff were very helpful the food was excellent, excellent all round love the decor such a relaxing place to dine will be back with friends next time.
We have been here four of five times now - twice for the valentines day special. The food has always been delicious and the service has always been great. I highly recommend the steak!!
I really enjoy going to the Dominion for a light meal (pizza) to something more substantial. The chicken pizza (with cashew nuts) is truly delicious as is the steak with creamed potatoes - my piece was juicy and massive! Have also tried the scallop entree (perfectly cooked) and the Akaroa salmon entree as well which had really good flavours and was a nice light starter. I'm yet to try a dessert but I'll be back for sure. Good work guys!
I have been to the Dominion a number of times now and each time has been pleasant.
The service is excellent and the food is delicious. We ordered a few pizzas, Dominion works (meatlovers) Tandoori Chicken and BBQ chicken. I give all 3 10/10, all bursting with mouth watering flavour.
Half way through our meal our waitress came back to see if everything was o.k, which it was, she then asked us for another round of drinks as we were low.
The bar staff are very friendly and always make an effort in conversation.
Very prompt and friendly service.
Delicious food.
Great environment.
I recommend the Dominion.
5 stars for me.
This place is cool to go for one of their daily specials and the atmosphere is not bad either. The food quality is not the greatest but you can have a good time on their Trivia Night.
A great experience! The food was filling and satisfying, and the customer service was AMAZING!! The waitress threw in a free dessert for me and my date at the end because I had a disappointing day, and she even allowed me to use my Groupon when I was supposed to use it before 3pm. Super impressed, will come again.
Excellent bar for lunch/branch . Food is delicious, good coffee and nice cold beer :)
We recently returned for a lunch,and oh boy it was delicious!!! Lamb shank and salmon steak.
Great service as always.
Cozy spot, yummy food, super polite staff. I like the Salmon steak and the chicken breast from their menu. Have been there couple of times so far and pretty sure will be there again. There are usually vouchers to buy from Groupon that you get one main food and a non-alcoholic drink for $15 per person. There's $3 extra charge for Salmon steak though and $4 for the fettuccini.
You will get an awesome Flatwhite if you are a fan of FW.
English breakfast, earl grey and cammomile are the available teas.
Also there are nice beers on tap. That place is quite busy and crowded when there is z rugby or cricket game which will be playing on the large screen TVs and people enjoy watching sports and drinking cold beers.
It's located right in front of countdown, so you can park your car in countdown to do your daily shopping and get yourself a feed burger with a fried egg added, like the photo that I've posted on this review, and then you can call it a day! 😉
Decent place. I really enjoyed my chicken burger. The ribs were good too. Wait staff were on to it.
Absolutely amazing. We bought a grab one voucher and have just had the most amazing experience. We shared a seafood platter for 4 and it came out with the freshest yummiest prawns calamari fish and prawn twisters. Will definitely be back. Good value quality and quantity.
Great place for me to meet friends over a drink or cup of coffee. Their beer battered chips are the best chips I have ever tasted. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I avoid Tuesday quiz night as it's not my scene! But other week nights are peaceful. I go there at least once a week.
We had our sons 21st at The Dominion and it was a great night. Mark and Celeste were amazing to deal with and helped us with everything we needed. The bar staff made the night so easy. Would definitely recommend this bar for any celebrations.
We went there April 2018 and had a brunch with the kids. The food was tasty and we loved it. The food portions are not big but was nice. The ambience with music selection was good. The service was good as well and the staff were really helpful and polite. We loved the place and will sure visit again. Recommended resto to dine and relax.
Went to The Dominion's event room upstairs for a 21st birthday celebration. We had about 70 people there and there was ample room for everyone to enjoy themselves. We had finger food from the restaurant and there was plenty of variety. To hire the room which has an outside covered balcony is $500. The night went off very well and we would definitely go back.
Had our Xmas Dinner here for our office. And was very pleased with the food, venue and overall atmosphere of the place. Loved how there was sports playing on the tv and it wasn't too crowded as I expected. Staff were friendly and served us well.
My partner and I celebrated our engagement here at The Dominion, upstairs in the bridgeman room. Without a doubt, one the best nights we've shared together, made even better by The Dominion and their fantastic staff. From the initial contact to the end of the night, the staff were absolutely fantastic! The venue is perfect for anyone looking to host a party, especially with the outside rooftop terrace available as well! Cannot recommend enough and will definitely be back in the future!
Really great little pub! Food is good, lots of drinks on offer and the weekly quiz is always a good time (love ya Steve). Great customer service too. Highly recommend checking out this place!
We just passing by on our beautiful scenic road trip, north NZ, stayed at Bavaria BB. So we came for steaks at The Dominion. Was the best steak since last time we had at Wanaka, and very friendly staffs. Shame it too far for next meal of steak 0_o
