Came here to dine straight after Amano for brunch.
Service was very slow, only one wait staff and one kitchen. It’s not a large restaurant but neat and tidy, the table at the back do need a bit more lighting daytime I feel as it’s a bit dark especially when vacant.
The wait time was quite long for water, drinks, menu, and so on. Was not fast or efficient service.
That being said, there were some really impressive dishes.
The tuna tartare was nice and tasty, very enjoyable. The fish of the day was fresh and very delicious. The spaghetti was perfectly cook however bland due to the overpower of seasoning from the other dishes. The Brussel Sprouts were delicious! They were deep fried however, same with the kale.. maybe dehydrating them or baking them next time for a more premium healthy meal? Just a thought.
The icecream was absolutely delicious. They only have one option and I think that was great and made it easy for the table. I loved the icecream.
Overall great experience, it is still a relatively new restaurant and I feel as time progresses can only get better.

Wow. Next level food with next level service thrown in.It represents one of the best food 'experience' restaurants Auckland has.Absolutely enjoyed the dining experience at The General Restaurant.Service, food, atmosphere were just all perfect. Would definitely go again in the future:)
The staff here are excellent, very attentive, polite and friendly. It has a cosy atmosphere and felt very comfortable. I had ordered the pork belly and it was missing the pork crackling but not a big deal as the dish still tasted delicious. The waiter apologised and later came out with a small plate with two small pieces of pork belly with the crackling from the chef. I was surprised and so impressed as it really demonstrates their commitment to excellent customer experiences. Desserts were also delicious and found the presentation was on point. I would highly recommend and will have to return.
