Always a pleasant experience coming here with wonderful service. Food is well priced & tasty. Would come back all the time
Came here for a late lunch and the food was amazing! We had the Angus scotch and fish of the day and we both loved them! Probably one of the best steak dishes I have had. Will definitely be back soon!!
Such a beautiful setting with a huge garden. Dog friendly. A beautiful place to host events. We used Zomato Gold. You can get a discounted membership with this code LITTLETD. Get a free main with another ordered. We only paid for the fish and chips and got the burger free. Food was pleasant but nothing out of ordinary. We just love the ambience and such friendly staff in the midst of being super busy. Highly recommended place for families and big (or small) group. Dog lovers will love this place.
Went for brekky, the place was super quiet. Just us and 3 other pairs there. The place is beautiful and views were nice. Very big area to have birthdays and weddings. We both had the big breakfast meal. It wasnt the best breakfast meals ive had but it wasnt bad as well. Its nice quiet area if you just want to hang with yr mate and talk all day. The hot chocolate was nice as well. Zomato Gold was used. :)
Such a nice place to go for dinner. The atmosphere is cool in a historic house being seated in one of the dining rooms which was nice as it didn’t feel noisy/busy like most restaurants. The menu had a lot of options making it hard to choose from as they all looked so good. I went with the grilled fish and chips followed by the sticky date pudding. Both were delicious with decent portion sizes. The staff were very friendly and the food came out very quickly. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.
Staffs are friendly. Service is good. Food is great.
Good service and food will go back
Jade did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome and the food was amazing - we had the high tea and it was perfect. Will definitely come back. 5 stars!
This place is awesome! Came here for our parents anniversary dinner and the service was amazing! Thanks to the lady that helped us take photos! This place is really unique and I had a nice surprise just entering the place, looked like a setting from one of those mystery - solving games like cleudo lol. All our dishes were great and very filling
Food is good , service is great as usual , very convenient place to have lunch during weekdays
Ample parking space is awesome, will come back again
Came here for the first time. The food was great! I had the sirlion steak and my partner had the mushroom risotto. Abit pricy but overall worth it with the great service, nice ambiance and quality food.
Been here a few times. Love the environment, very relaxing. Food is good too and friendly staffs. Will definitely go back again. A good place for a young family with kids for a meal.
a nice environment (both inside and outside section) and friendly staff, enjoy their breakfast more than their lunch, been here several times, the steak sandwich I did not enjoy as it was over-char
Fantastic European restaurant/bistro offering an Italian atmosphere and wonderful food. The food was exquisite, the servers friendly and I really enjoyed coming here. Their seafood chowder was one of the finest I’ve had in years.
Good service the team we’re very friendly and accomodating. Food was good venison was my favourite however the pork belly was also pretty good. Also the pavlova is AMAZING!
Absolutely delicious! Fast service and sunny outdoor area. A bit on the pricey side but the food stands up to the cost. Looking forward to coming back!
We waited at the door for a couple of minutes and were brought to a table. Service was excellent and fast! A highchair was brought over for our baby even though he didn't end up sitting in it. We had the fettuccine with creamy carbonara and chicken, salt and pepper squid, popcorn shrimp and steak sandwich. The steak was a little overcooked. Popcorn shrimp was yummy with the sauce. The fettuccine had lots of chicken and mushroom in it and yummy flavour.
Cute restaurant setting, enjoyed the outdoor space for lunch, food was nice and came out fast, great service. I'd like to go back for dinner.
#zomatogold# experience was great.
We went there for breakfast. We ordered Eggs Benedict and corn fritters. Eggs Benedict was great. Corn fritters tasted a bit puffy, still nice.
Ambience 4.5/5
Food 4.5/5
Service 4/5
Overall experience was very good. Will be back to try out their lunch or dinner.
We had a lovely time having lunch at Fisher House today. We were seated at an outside table with lovely ambiance. The venue is very spacious and has an old school European feel.
We ordered a BLT and a Chicken Caesar wrap, both well presented and served in generous portions. The taste was also fine.
Definitely recommend this place!
Really neat place, that is secluded. The staff were amazing, and very attentive.
I ordered a steak, which was cooked to absolute perfection - melting in the mouth. What was more delightful was the mash! I've never been a fan of mash potatoes but the one they had definitely had me wanting more. Such great flavours which in combination was divine.
My partner ordered the lamb, which was just as good as the steak. Lots of smokey flavours going on- and none of the potent lamb smell.
Great side to try is the duck fries! Very crispy and flavourful!
Must come back!
We tried the Fisher House for breakfast. The ambiance was lovely and we enjoyed a nice outdoor table. The service was great - we arrived right after a large party of 15 and they kindly served our party of two first (without us asking). Their staff seem to definitely know how to handle situations with great hospitality. The eggs Benedict with bacon was lovely and the bacon was cooked to perfection (not the common rubbery mess other cafes serve). I can’t wait to return to try dinner.
Lovely setting in Highbrook area.Food served in large portions, was hard to finish off the salmon. Desserts are larger portions to, good for sharing.
Had a special dinner with my church and was very pleased with service and food overall... had a 3 course meal starting with the Goat cheese croquettes which melted beautifully in the mouth, with a sweet, tangy beetroot relish that complimented the cheese splendidly.
Had the scotch fillet, which was alright... wouldn't say it was the best steak I've had... the mushroom sauce really didn't wow me and my steak although medium, was still chewy... presented beautifully, but can improve in steak world.
The Nutella mousse ended the night very well with a delicious biscotti that added a nice texture to the mousse which hit that sweet spot so good. Only thing is I WANTED MORE!Top for service from Tori or Victoria? She's a queen! Incentives need to come her way.
Great dining experience at Fisher House for my boyfriends Birthday! We got a great deal on this website through booking early and were seated at the best table. The food was incredible! We got the eye fillet steak and the chicken breast 😍 Also the staff were so lovely and overall the atmosphere was great!
Great customer service from the moment we arrived. Small dining area so booking beforehand is a must! Food was so delicious and flavoursome. Everything tasted so fresh.. we ordered the salt and pepper squid, eye steak fillet, fillet mignon, cheesecake and apple crumble for mains and dessert. Can't fault food or service.
Can’t even begin to describe how amazing food is here! The venison was just cooked to perfection and it would the best grilled venison I have ever tasted. Lamb was a delight and could go back for more. Amazing service and staff. Thank you very much!
loved the atmosphere of this place, it was a warm and welcoming place. I loved my food, though the lamb was a bit under for my liking, but that’s due to my preference being well done. Loved every element though, especially the little lamb balls with my lamb dish. would definitely recommend this place to others!

Went here last night for friend's birthday! The venue is lovely and you feel like you've been transported away considering its in a business district. The decor is somewhat dated but its keeping with the theme of the original house and purpose. Since it was a Wednesday night it was not even close to bustling. Maybe two-three tables around us tops, so we got a decent amount of attention and checking up on from the staff.
We started with garlic bread, salt and pepper squid, and wedges. Garlic bread fine- on the slight crunchier side. Wedges were huge and cooked fine but no flavour. Salt and pepper squid pieces were the largest I have ever seen and pretty decent overall- would recommend. Mains we had the salmon, chicken breast, fillet mignon, and a pork thai salad. I tried my friend's salmon and while cooked fine it was bland. My chicken breast was huge and yet very tender and moist so I'm impressed with how that was done but the flavours again were a bit bland and just lacking. Its usually the dish my friend orders but it apparently looked nothing like it usually does and was lacking all the spices and flavour she usually enjoys. My partner's salad was okay but he said, again, not a lot of flavour and there was a good amount of just fatty pieces in the salad. My friend's partner said his fillet was fine/good as well but didn't seem enthused or impressed. Dessert he order the mousse and my friend and I split a sticky date pudding which was nice. I particularly enjoy the kind of vanilla ice cream parred with it.
At the end of the meal she remarked how her experience has never really been like this before in terms of all the food being a bit of a let down. She and her partner visit her relatively frequently. Overall, the place was very nice and fine dining, the service was very attentive and pleasant, but the food was just okay/fine and not at all deserving of the lowest priced being $32/33 and most at least $36 and up. I will say the sizes/portions were very much I would call "American" so you're getting a good amount of food. Unfortunately, the flavours and aesthetics just weren't there considering the fine dining atmosphere and prices. Probably wouldn't go again on my own unless there was some deal.
Came here with a friend last week, Overall the food wasn't too bad but was a bit overpriced for what it is. I had the calamari for my entree and grilled market fish for the main. It's definitely not the best if you're looking for intense/interesting flavour as I found both dishes to be quite bland, However, the Tiramisu was nice. I must say the ambience and decor was the highlight. Had a nice relaxed vibe, very spacious, quaint and charming. The staff was polite and attentive.
Lovely relaxed venue for our recent staff Christmas breakfast. Plenty to eat and good service. Garden swing and outdoor area is very pleasant. Thank you and seasons greetings to you all.
Located in East Tamaki, Auckland, Fisher House cafe offers you some amazing European cuisine . Its a fine family dine in and is also popular for high tea. This slideshow requires JavaScript. LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER ON YOUR PALATE. Tea, Beer and Wine. This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Everything was lovely from the ambience to the service to the food. We enjoyed a variety of dishes for osur 3 course. For entrees we had scallops & prawns, chicken livers and a prawn and avo pot - scallops a bit overcooked but otherwise perfect. For mains we had lamb, filet mignon and salmon - steak sauce was slightly overwhelming with wine but other than that no b complaints. 5/5 will return soon.
Love Fisher House! Always guaranteed an enjoyable visit.
The menu always has great variety and the seating, whether inside or out, is relaxing with a nice atmosphere.
I have had breakfast and lunch meetings here as I know we will have an enjoyable time.
If you find yourself around East Tamaki looking for a place to go, regardless of the time of day, this is the top choice and you will not be disappointed!
Found a great deal online and headed out to one of the flashiest houses in Highbrook ✨. We booked an early table and probably got the best seat in the house! Top tip 😉. The service from the start was a little rocky, we felt as if we were an inconvenience to the staff at some points which was a shame but this feeling subsided nearer the end. The menu is quite the standard European fare with a couple dishes per animal protein and the few vegetarian options following. The food was cooked perfectly and very filling 👅. The food is not cheap I will warn you!! 💸 but you can definitely taste the quality in the meals. Overall I believe this is the perfect luxe spot for date night in South Auckland.
Very polite waiters. Relaxed atmosphere. We had the salt and pepper squid, fish cakes and the seared tuna. Good size servings. We will be back.
Amazing food and fantastic service! Absolutely love this place! The steak is perfection! Fish is divine! You have to try the Nutella mousse wow!!One of my favourite restaurants for sure 😃
The best steak I've had at 36 dollars. Comes with big sides and the eye fillet didn't have a chewy bit in it. Soup was nice and big. Great service as well.
This is the place if you are looking for a delicious meal with a home taste ~ ordered: seared tuna, lamb, fillet Mignon, salmon. Everything was cooked perfectly! All the meats were tender and so well marinated. The side vegetables were well seasoned. Each plate had a lot of food and was a complete meal :)

The Fisher House venue is a really cool old heritage building, looks impressive outside and in. There's also a really nice, decent sized courtyard which is where we sat and was great on a nice sunny day. The menu was a good size with lots of options. Service was really good with the waiter/waitress coming to check on us relatively early for drinks, topping up water on a regular basis and being friendly too. I ordered the salt and pepper squid. Food came out quite fast and no one in our group was waiting, it all came out at a similar time. On the menu my meal was a salt and pepper squid with smoked paprika, lime aioli and a rocket salad. The squid was cooked perfectly and was nice and hot when it came out, seasoned well. However it seemed to be missing the smoked paprika, maybe it was really subtle? I also didn't really get a hit of lime in the aioli and there was no rocket in my salad. The salad was pretty bland, I think it was just some lettuce and tomato with a dressing. The rocket definitely would have made it more enjoyable. More lime in the aioli would have been good as I really like lime and I honestly forgot it was even on the menu when I started eating it, until I looked back later, that's how subtle it was. Overall the dish was fine, the main part (the squid) was good but it would have been a whole lot better if everything mentioned on the menu was included in the meal as it would have added a lot more flavour. Despite this I think I would return and give Fisher House another chance but try something else, as the ambience and service was really good.

I cannot say enough about the service and food we received from everyone we came across at Fisher House. We were organizing a Surprise 60th and initially dealt with the lovely Erina. We had looked around a few other places but nothing was too much trouble here. We had an amazing room which was perfect for 20 people which we were allowed to decorate as much as we liked. (we promised to use blue tac only!) Most places you have to hire such space! We were allowed music for a boogie and again provided the sound system. We danced till midnight then cleared away all the decorations. Couldn't expect them to do that.
We had a set menu. We had a choice of nibbles and we chose four. They even did special gluten free nibbles for one guest. The beef on Bellinis were melt in the mouth, the pate was delicious and so was the calamari. The sliders were huge and tasty and after all that there wasn't a lot of room left for the main. That consisted of four choices and garlic bread. Again delicious and all served virtually at once which can't have been easy for 20 people. Out of all the choices it seemed the chicken and chorizo was most popular, everyone raved. The steak was a wee bit tough.(not enough to drop my rating though) The layered potatoe was very tasty and I love bok choy so I was happy. My daughter had the vegetarian and she said it was delicious and not just vegs plonked on a plate. They didn't even hesitate to let us use the cake as dessert. One place we had inquired about earlier was going to charge $2 a head to cut it!!
Because it was a surprise, the staff all played along from the time the birthday girl arrived saying they were busy but had decided to put us in a side room! They even hid two VIP guests who entered later on. Liam our waiter for the night was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. The wine and beer (all pre chosen) kept coming, we only had to ask and it was there. The waitresses were great, so was the manager on duty..... EVERYONE was, the bar staff, EVERYONE!! I'm sorry I don't know names but thank everyone for making this night so special. The birthday girl was blown away by it all. Made it all worthwhile. Would definitely go back. Think I have raved enough!!
I really should read the menu properly. The fillet mignon came with bok choy (!!!) So when it arrived, it threw me off a little. Having said that, it tasted great and the steak was melt in your mouth tender. Nice venue, great for photos! Service was excellent too. We were looked after by an american waitress who was very attentive and lovely. Will definitely come back!
I went here for my birthday lunch with my work mates. We had booked in the table for a Friday lunch. The place was pretty busy! We also pre-ordered our meals so they were very efficient with providing it to us when we got there. Food was nice and the outside area was lovely
Great value Sunday roast. Nice to see yorkshire pufding on the plate. Very friendly service and perfect tiramisu. Our table ordered the lamb, beef, chicken and pork roasts, they all had the same gravy, would definitely be an improvement to have lighter gravy for the chicken and the small piece of crackling with the pork was not crisp. The atmosphere of the old family house is really lovely and the different rooms would great for events. Overall a lovely experience.
A very welcoming and warm place for dinner. It was my husband's 50th and they gave us a small room to celebrate our special day. The service was good, the food was yummy, the quantities were great and it was friendly to our pocket.
A must to visit while in Auckland.
Work dinner. Never knew this place existed smack bang in the middle of Highbrook business centre!!! So close to work ohh yeah. Lovely decor, very old school and classy. Loved that. Good service and food served on time. Now, the portion sizes- massive. I mean massive is a small word for the pork belly dish some ordered on our table. I've never seen such huge serving of pork belly. Those who ordered seem pretty happy with it as well. I had the chicken breast. I was really concerned that like most places the breast could be overlooked and dry. But my fears were ill founded as the breast were tender and juicy, perfect!!! The dish was really well balanced. A little sweet, but that's me trying really hard to find flaws. Really enjoyed it. The entree we had that bread Parmesan bread which was a pleasant surprise as well. Good wine menu on offer as well. Overall a really experience.
Fisher house is definitely a hidden gem found among all the industrial business' of East Tamaki.
There was approximately thirty of us who attended high tea for a farewell. We were given a large room that accommodated us all. Staff were attentive and took our orders straight away. The high tea selection was good but not that greatest. I loved the scones, they were seriously delicious! However the sandwiches were a let down (my opinion, some loved them). As for the little sweets selection, I absolutely adored the caramel slices and the lemon slices. Ahhh yummy.
I would probably visit this place again.
Had goat cheese croquettes. It was perfectly done. It came along with beetroot relish, crispy kale and salad with balsamic pomegranate dressing. Loved it. But the dressing was a bit too for me. The portion was ok too. The taste of the goat cheese was fresh and melting..

I was surprise to find this nice restaurant in the Highbrook/East Tamaki area as this is an industrial area and there is nothing decent around here. The service was lovely, the waiter was very polite. Food was OK, coffee was nice too. Strongly recommend this place for family gathering with kids as they have a fully fenced backyard, so plenty of space for kids to run around.
It was sometime ago I went however I remember the food was great! We ordered 3 mains and 2 entrees every dish was tasty. Service was good and it was nice we had our own room when we visited as I am not of fan of eating in over crowded places
Was looking at the menu online and was surprised when we were served with a different menu with most of the items cut out. When we left the menu online was on the front door so it was a bit disappointing.
We came for Sunday dinner and the food was ok. I had the fish and chips and the accompaniments that came with it (mushy peas and wakame salad) were almost like garnishes since there was so little of it. The squid was beautifully cooked though.
The place did look nice on the inside but the entrance with the roundabout is one way only and the exit is on the other side of the carpark, which was hard to see in the dark.
When I'm working from Auckland, Fisher House is very handy for lunch (or an after work drink) and it always has a comfortable feeling - like a local should.
But staying nearer this week, I stopped in for a proper dinner, and it was great! There's always that homestead feel there, and with great service and what can only be called a beautiful meal (looks and taste) I am very happy.
Now I just need a plan to work through the menu...
Is it wrong to start a review by raving about a certain side? Cause the duck fat chips here are amazing! Fisher House feels quite special; the establishment is beautiful, very manor-like and very upscale. The service is also very professional, and courteous. Smells like old money in here; you get the sense this is where golfers and businessmen come to do business, or the elderly couple in the neighbourhood's favourite high tea spot. However, the quality of the venue does not match the quality of the food. I ate here during a corporation function and apart from the aforementioned duck fat chips, the meal was underwhelming. Not bad by any standard, but the dishes lack refinement and imagination. I had the haloumi, and unfortunately the dish passed without much thought going through my mind. All in all however, a pleasant place to dine but perhaps not the cuisine you'd expect from the surroundings.

Came here today for a second time in the private dining room. We had my dad's 60th birthday breakfast here. The room was aet up very nicely with flowers on the table.
The breakfast choices are good, there's something for everyone and it is very well priced.
The service today was absolutely fantastic, this stood out to me a lot today. There was a young guy serving us today, I didn't get his name. He was just such a descent man. He greeted us in the morning when he went to put a sign outside and said happy birthday to my dad and was just very attentive. Cannot compliment him enough. It really made a difference to the morning having great staff look after us.
The food is good too. Last time I had creamy mushrooms and today I had the eggs benedict with bacon. I love their hollandaise sauce - very flavoursome and a perfect consistency. I tried some of my husband's french toast which was delicious too. We will definitely be back. This is a great venue too if you want to have a function here. Today we were 18 people for breakfast and fit comfortably in the one room.
Just started doing breakfasts a few months ago. Have been twice and impressed. It's really price competitive vs Sierra which is just around the corner and the quality of food is far superior. Service just needs to be a little faster and they'll have nailed it.
Also great for functions whether its a quiet drink after work or a full on Xmas party.
We had the fish burger, 200g Angus beef burger and steak sandwich. Fish burger was bland, Angus burger and steak sandwich were average. The atmosphere was very nice however and prices were okay. Coffee here is really nice.

As part of a work group lunch this was my first visit. We had booked and didn't realise that we would be in a private room, which was good. Our waiter was efficient in a casual way, we were told about the types of fish available and there was also a soup of the day and sandwhich. I had fish (Moki, which was a first and very enjoyable) and chips with a japanese beer batter which was very light and delicious served with tartare sauce (would have liked more of that) a simple salad and way too many chips, although they were also good and dining in a big group we all shared out the food so that most of it was eaten. I think it would be great to have the option to either have a decent salad instead of chips. I really enjoyed all the food though. The waiting staff were great, leftover shank was kindly packaged up for a K9 treat. literally a doggy bag!. I only heard positive comments from everyone else at the table and good ones about the wines too. The servings were generous and well presented. I would definitely go back for a meal.
Built in 1962, Fisher House Restaurant was converted from a stud homestead. Its relaxed ambience makes it popular with its customers. Turning from the reception is a rather big area serving drinks; there are separate small rooms with tables.
My friends & I had dinner vouchers which included roasted chicken Caesar salad with soft boiled egg & bacon, grilled salmon gravlax, chargrilled flat iron steak with poached egg & chips, market fish with sauteed prawn tail & pea risotto, hazelnut mousse pavlova & vanilla pannacotta for desserts. The chicken was just average and bacon was not crispy; gravlax was delicious; fish (tarakihi) was lovely; the lower-quality steaks unfortunately let the whole meal down; the 2 desserts were above average. (Food - 3.5/5; Service - 3.5/5; Ambience - 4/5)

Upon arriving inside and being greeted by a lovely winding staircase, we were ushered around the side of the bar to a really nice room that looked out into the front entrance.
We were firstly given a Tea menu (big thumbs up) – I love being able to pick and choose my tea and I also like being able to see what brand of tea they use. They use loose-leaf Twinings tea and they also stock another brand (which I can’t remember the name of). I went for my usual English Breakfast, and Carl chose the Irish Breakfast.
We were given 8 items to try each, 4 savoury and 5 sweet. I have listed what we received below:
Scones (they had raisins in them) plus freshly whipped cream and strawberry jam, Salmon and cucumber sandwiches, Egg sandwiches, Chicken and herb mayonnaise sandwiches (our favourite), Chocolate brownie with walnuts, Lemon cake, Macarons (one chocolate and one passion fruit), Eclairs (little round ones).
Everything was really pleasant and tasted fresh and delicious. I actually ended up giving Carl some of my sweet items as I was getting SO full! I thought for the price that we paid we received plenty of food. The only (very minor) thing I would change would be that there were more savoury options and less sweet. Even swapping one of the cakes for another sandwich or something similar.
The experience was made even more epic by the lovely young waiter who was looking after us. He was super polite and friendly, and even re-filled our teapots once we had gobbled all our food.
Fisher House is a 60s homestead repurposed as an event venue and restaurant. Was there as a group of four to have Sunday lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed everything - the service, the ambience, the menu, the taste of the food and the presentation. Two had the Sunday roast option - the meat on the plate meant the vegetables had to come on a second shared plate - while two had a salad and something else from the regular menu. We'll be back :-)
Had an amazing lunch with clients last week, good good food very impressive dishes had all round, recommend the chicken salad with pearl couscous delish!!
Overall excellent surroundings and service, great little restaurant in a oasis surrounded by business parks , feels like being in a country club.
Very good value for well thought out food, recommend to all
5 stars all the way

First impression on Fisher House from outside is wonderfully quaint and feels like you're in the country somewhere, has a welcoming feeling to it. It's one of those places where you drive past all the time and one day you'll stop. Finally a friend recommended it as he hadn't been either. I arrived first and was surprised by the lovely atmosphere, I was asked if I had a booking and was embarrassed that I may be turned away if I hadn't, however, the staff were very hospitable and ushered me into the bar to wait until my friend arrived and was presented with a glass of lemon water (pretty cool). As it was a working week, I had the day off and felt under dressed with corporate people having brunch/lunch meetings etc, however, the staff were very welcoming and I loved that about the place. I ordered the poached chicken breast meal which was beautifully cooked, we ordered wine and our water glasses were filled regularly and our waiters were very timely and professional throughout our time there. For a Cafe/Bistro, Fisher House is above that and I would highly recommend paying a visit for a casual brunch/lunch/dinner/staff meeting to check the place out, you will be pleasantly surprised and I don't think there is another place like this out south. It's in the middle of a business development area in Highbrook, yet the surroundings are semi-rural. I loved it and will be back as many times as I can now that I know where it is. Thanks to all staff at Fishers House!!
My most recent visit to Fisher House was Sunday 25 August. Once again I enjoyed the wonderful service, food and ambiance . I have returned to the restaurant several times for the very reason that I feel confident in taking friends or colleagues along. Yesterday was a birthday celebration and the staff welcomed a cake being brought along. I can only now look forward to returning.
We had a lovely dining experience at Fisher House on the weekend. Wonderful food, and service. Highlihgts included the vegetarian torte (amazing), the side of beans (with lemon and almonds), and their peanut butter mousse (heavenly). Just make sure you make a reservation, as there kitchen closes at 8pm on a Saturday night! See photos of our meal and read more at http://celestereviews.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/and-were-racing/
This was our first time dining at Fisher House. Service was excellent, in particular a young lady that waited on us most of the night did exceptionally well very hospitable and polite. We were most pleased with the menu, myself and my family enjoyed a 3 coarse meal which all servings were more than what we had expected... The beef was to die for (cooked to perfection) We will definitely be coming back... HIGH 5 to the whole team that worked tonight!!! Thanks... Debbie

Gorgeous weather today made it perfect for our lunch here - we sat in the sunny, open conservatory.
The food was very delicious: I had the Goats cheese tart w caramelised onions, mizuna, walnuts & truffle oil, accompanied by a refreshing side salad, which had some mystery dressing which really was extremely tasty.
My partner was over the moon about his "Go Green" burger - which was a Lunch Special - it looked excellent - with big portobello mushrooms and huge wads of chargrilled red-pepper inside.
The setting at Fisher House is lovely - we overlooked green, green grass and beautiful old trees.
Service was friendly & quite casual.
The advice on wine was good & the only thing amiss was that the Monteiths' beer was served in an Amstel glass... but does that change the crisp sweet flavour? Nah!! It was all good.
We definitely recommend this place as a good spot for weekday lunch. We'd zipped down from Mt Wellington, and were surprised at how quick it was to get there. Parking was extremely easy which was a bonus.
Went here with my partner for a nice dinner last Friday evening & wow it was a real treat. The staff were fantastic & the 3 course set menu we had was delicious, full of flavour & incredible presentation you could tell the chef took real pride in putting everything together. The premises has plenty of character to it & I have no hesitation in recommending to other dinners, we'll definitely be back A+ Fisher House:)
We went there for lunch on sunday to try out for mothers day to see if it was any good and by word of mouth from other people. We both chose the Roast of the day and that was good indeed with carrots, potatoes, brocollini horseradish sauce which had a kick to it. The service was good and the meals took about 20 minutes to come out and then we tried the desserts my partner had the sugar glazed lemon curd tart w raspberry & pomegranate sorbet and i had the coconut liquer panacotta, with pineapple mint salsa both were good indeed. The only problem was the price very expensive for the two of us but worth the travel over to there. Look forward to Mothers day then.
Fisher House hosted my 21st for around 90 people and provided us with a 'Half House' hireage. We had subsidised drinks plus nibbles, with us bringing a cake etc.
The atmosphere was great for the mixture of family and friends and there was enough space. Everyone found the service really efficient and professional.
My family and I would recommend Fisher House for a range of functions and we will definitely be returning as we know the food is great.
Thanks KJ, Tino and bar girls for a wonderful 21st birthday.
first of all i would like to say this place is awesome , i like the setting and the location of the restaurant.the staff are friendly and always make me feel welcome.i have been to many bars and so far this bar has me coming back on a regular occasion due to their consistant outstanding service.
If you are in the area check them out and you will experience the difference.
See you there
I was told by a friend to try fisher house so I organized a dinner there for 6 people for a 50th birthday from the time
We arrived the atmosphere and venue was warm and very welcoming after a drink in the lounge we were shown to our seating were the service continued a great night was had by all great meal lovely wine. service was fantastic and very memorable Would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends would defiantly vist again
I loved my experience at Fisher House. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the food was very tasty. Would go back again and would recommend to others.
I recently arranged a combined work dinner. With 13 guests, the drawing room was set aside for us. A tab was quickly set up at the bar making ordering of drinks easy. The food was superlative and, with 13 guests, just about everything was tried. The wines, chosen by a friend who is knowledgeable, were pronounced excellent. The service could not be faulted, friendly, informative without being pushy and the food arrived promptly. Soft background music was appreciated and the bill was very reasonable. All in all a wonderful evening, definitely to be repeated. We were so impressed that my wife insisted on having her birthday breakfast there, and we enjoyed it enormously. With plenty of parking, a relaxing setting and a fullsize snooker table, the original Fisher Home, of the Ra Ora stud, deserves a try.
We have just had a family celebration for our 50th wedding anniversary, and were extremely happy with the venue at Fisher House. The separate dining room plus adjacent games room worked well, and kept the younger folk occupied trying to play snooker and darts. The buffet menu, with a couple of items added, proved to be great, and the generous quantities of oysters and prawns were particularly popular. The friendly and efficient waitress service kept the drinks coming, and the final bill was very moderate. 100% recommended!
Just recently went to a mutual friends wedding function. What a hidden gem!
I thought it may have been a bit cool for the time of year but ended up being a beautiful day with equally great food & service.
The staff were attentive but not obtrusive giving us ample time to enjoy the day. Food arrived on time as per the Bride & Groom's schedule.
Will remember Fisher House if I ever need a function venue.
Thanks to all the staff at Fisher House.

Amongst the fledgling new industries of the Highbrook industrial park lie the relics of Woolf Fisher’s history. You know, him of Fisher & Paykel fame. Various F&P factories still remain in the nearby East Tamaki, amidst the backdrops of newer information based industry: ANZ, NZ Post et al. The blue & white-collar residents of this new landscape have two local haunts at the moment whilst the Highbrook estate is in it’s infancy. One is Sierra Coffee and the other is Fisher House, Woolf’s old house, built in 1962 on the then 177-acre racing horse and stud farm. The house is adorned with horse racing memorabilia. The rooms comprise a grand lobby, a billiard room, a cosy study, a dining room, a bar and a large garden terrace which is a great sunny spot in the summer months.
As a bar, because it’s got a captive local audience, the prices on your favourite drop are certainly at a premium for the area. Just 3 kms down the way in the ever-classy Papatoetoe, you can pick up a handle for less than $5. This of course can be forgiven by the quality of the beers and wines available. Throughout the evening, Fisher House can be quite the little hotspot for the local white-collars, but during the day the place is far more sedate. Fisher House have started to run membership offers and GroupOn type deals recently. I had been a patron of Fisher House many times before but on this occasion it was on a members deal: $19 for a two course meal. Sounded fair enough, so we popped down of a lunch time and were ushered to our seats.
I had the Salt and Pepper Calamari with Medjool Dates and Roasted Garlic in a Rocket Salad, while my dining buddy had a BLT Sandwich. So far, so standard sounding, but the calamari was a nice balance. As a side order, some duck-fat cooked wedges were nice dipped in the aioli. For dessert, a Tarte Tatin – perfect; soft, succulent apples in a sumptuous little pastry that was crispy on the edges, all complete with lovely caramel sauce. The other dessert was a Raspberry Pavlova with Honeycomb Icecream. The ice cream was dee-lish but the pavlova could have done with more raspberry filling and was merely a take on the word; it was soft and singed on the outside, but didn’t resemble the good old Kiwi classic. More like a chewy roulade! The main let down of the afternoon was the service. It was uninformed, slow and awkward.

Food was great and surprisingly really good value for money as well 😁👍
Went for dinner today first time here working at Fisher & Paykel a lot of our colleagues have dined here in the past and recommended it walked through the front door and it was a warm cozy ambience the decor was classic as if you stepped into someone’s house for dinner it was pretty full on when we walked in today around 5pm we had booked a table for 4 and were seated by the window
Range of different meals from steak to pork pasta and chicken my 2 of my colleagues were vegetarian and they noticed there was not many vegetarian options for them to choose from
I had the battered fish and chips today which was average quantity was good and the tartare sauce they served with it I found quite different but was ok the lady who served us today was very nice great customer service
The restaurant that we often go to. Fillet Mignon is the best. The staff are kind and nice.
Great customer service. Upon arrival, was greeted by two wonderful waitresses. Ordered a long island iced tea with corona (👀 as we do) lol while waiting for my family. Delicious scallops ND tasty garlic bread for entree. For main ordered the Angus Scotch fillet and char-grilled lamb rump. Wonderful atmosphere. Definitely recommend medium rare 😍😘.
Excellent place for the a quick meeting with delicious food. The place is situated in the middle of busy industrial area of Auckland and, provide superb service. Staff is friendly. Really looking forward to visit the place soon.
Must try the Garlic Bread.
Been here for both lunch and dinner menus, both are excellent with lots to choose from. Food is tasty and the premises great, well maintained and lovely warm atmosphere. Lots of parking.
They also do high tea, I didn't get any photos but it was also really good with our own private room for our group to enjoy.
Beautiful place to have a quiet and intimate dinner with family and friends. Place is just near by. Great food! Fantastic flavours! Beautiful presentation! Awesome service!
Excellent brunch, everything was tasty. I had the elderflower tea which was lovely and full-bodied from the start.
We were quite happy with our order: chicken liver parfait and grilled fish (snapper) and chips. The restaurant has the vibe of a country house and the staff is really nice.
Honestly an amazing place with great service and amazing food, history filled and literal hidden gem as it's located in a business district and doesn't get the attention it deserves in such a location... non the less we'll most definitely be back.

I wanted to throw my mother in law a surprise birthday high tea because lockdown made her miss out on celebrating her 70th birthday last year.
I contacted Fisher House and made the booking end let them know it was for a surprise birthday. The manager Piyush told me he would give us a private room for free if one was available on the day to help with the surprise.
On the day we had a private room and the service was above and beyond. The staff if so friendly and helpful. They catered for the dietary requirements I told them about. The food was delicious and well presented.
The lovely manager kept checking on us to see if we needed anything and if everything was ok. He later brought a complementary slice of cheesecake to my mother in law and sand happy birthday with us. That was really nice of them and I was so thrilled to see how my mother in law was having the best of time.
Everyone enjoyed their meal and had a blast. I can’t thank Fisher House manager and the staff enough for making it a very special day for my mother in law. I can’t recommend this place enough!!!
A nice building with historical events pictured in a book on the table and hung on walls for you to see.
Food was decent, a bit on the pricier side compared to other steak houses. Overall a nice experience with a lively atmosphere.
First time in Fisher House and loved the environment, food and atmosphere. We dined in and ordered salt & pepper squid and meat lovers pizza. Excellent service, and food was great as well. We'll be back.
We had a friends wedding dinner in one of the rooms here. It was really good that there was plenty of parking. The place was nicely decorated with lots of horses on the wall. Most of the food was served in a timely manner and it was generally tasty. The pasta serving my friend got was actually quite large.
It was a nice venue for an event and the food was decent. I'm not sure of the costing though.
Went for a business event so there were quiet a few people in the group. I didn't order food till after the meeting, we were informed that the kitchen would close in 5 minutes, my order and several other people's orders were completed in a polite and professional manner, it was refreshing to not be told it's too late to order. Thank you to the staff in the front of the house and in the kitchen. The food was tasty and plated well. The atmosphere was friendly and warm. I would have taken photos of the food but it didn't last long, an enjoyable experience.
Been here a couple of times and the food and service are both exceptional! Veal, fillet minion are great. Kids love the kids drinks.
