fanTAZtic venue, here at a wedding and have to say Mitch’s service has been awesome (thanks for the personal delivery of the APA). The girls running around with the food and serving us at the tables have also been great
Incredible history, lovely views over Napier. Beautifully restored buildings. Lovely area for outdoor dining. Venue for special occassions, staff very obligng, in wine tasting area and restaurant/dining rooms.
Sensational place great views and buildings wonderful wines and the $5 tasting fee includes a stemless wine glass don't miss it if you're in Napier
This is such a beautiful place in the heart of the hawkes bay. Amazing grounds well maintained and very tranquil.
Of course not to mention the great wine made by them selves. *****5 Rating.
Mitch made this the greatest evening ever. Thanks Mitch, your hospitality won't be forgotten easily. Maybe this should be Mitch-ion Estate. So good.
We had a lovely lunch and dined outside, it has a lovely atmosphere here. We had a baby with us and we were able to keep him entertained by going for a stroll to the fountain and gardens. The oysters were unreal, definitely recommend. We had the market fish and the beef eye filled, everything was superb 👌 Wonderful service !
Mission always forms part of our itinerary when visiting New Zelaand. We've visited here many times over the past 13 years and always love it. Great food and great wines. Just wish we could buy their wine in the UK.
Absolutely incredible meal on their beautiful patio. We enjoyed their wide selection of their own wines plus incredible food by the chefs. This is one of the best meals I have had in years. The potato doughnuts, cheddar cheese souffle, and truffle bread are fabulous. We plan to come back and highly recommend!! We luckily were able to come in without a reservation but will make sure we reserve in the future to ensure we can eat here!
My husband and I decided to drop by this estate for lunch because we heard it was the oldest estate in NZ and it was just a tourist stop that had to be made. We weren’t expecting the food to be good but we were pleasantly surprised! Food was really amazing. I highly, highly recommend the truffle cheese bread. I couldn’t stop myself from gobbling it down. The lamb was also very good. We had a couple of drinks to go with it. Simply delicious! And after that we spent some time taking pictures around the estate. You can also do wine tasting here but we skipped it as we had a long travel ahead of us. Overall, great place to dine and relax among friends. The view is just beautiful. Makes whatever you’re eating much more delicious ;)
Anniversary dinner with hubby. Great food and friendly staff as always. Sat outside for a drink taking in the view then moved inside for dinner.
Really friendly atmosphere and great food and of course excellent wine.
We went as a small tour group and had the two course meal. The restaurant couldn't cope with 12 of us having starter /main main /pudding. We had to vote, so those who wanted a pudding lost out. Did question the waitress, but she said it was what the chef wanted!! It's a restaurant for goodness sake!
The food was good.
Great venue, staff were real friendly and helpful. Food was first rate. A lovely way to spend lunch over a glass of wine
We had a few problems/mix ups with our orders but the wait staff delt with it very well. The food was really lovely and delicious apple sours. We felt very welcomed and comfortable.
Beautiful venue, very friendly staff and delicious food.
We had a booking for 7 people at 6:30 pm on 27th of December but arrived an hour earlier, decided to change our booking which they helped us with a very warm and welcoming smile.
Both who attended our table were extremely helpful, patient and friendly.
Thanks for excellent customer service and great experience.
The food here is spectacular, all the dishes had varying textures and used good quality ingredients, the lamb was tender and juicy, potatoes were cooked through but not overdone, and cauliflower mash was creamy and had a nice truffle oil finish. The food is all very fatty though - everything has added oil which is a bit much if you aren't used to eating such rich food like myself. Still 5 stars though - they were very busy on a public holiday, yet all our food arrived at the same time and took only around 10 mins to arrive. Worth going back to for a special occasion.
Thanks Max, one of the best tastings we’ve ever done! Max was super knowledgeable and friendly - he went into great detail on different winemaking processes, the history of Mission and each wine we tried. Thanks again!
We had a wonderful time, and we were very happy with the service. Debbie and the young man who served us (sorry I don’t know his name) were fantastic! Thank you !🌿💖
We love the food, the beef, the pasta, the fish and chips, the wine. Perfect.
** Warning - very long review.
Where do I start.. we have ordered
1. Blue cheese souffle.
2. The squid entry
3. Medium rare beef steak
4. Chips as sides
5. Brulee
6. Lemon tart.
The souffle was just a melt in mouth experience, it comes with this jam like sauce which enhanced the taste of the souffle.
The squid was very flavorsome yet gentle which was really nice start for the meal.
The beef steak... The best steak I haven ever had. The sauce and other was great as well maybe not as great as other fine dining place I have visited but still very tasty and top notch quality. But the steak, the best I ever had in my life... Never would thought the steak can "melt in your mouth".. so juicy and tender, non of chewy business. I could just visit Napier again just to have this dish.
Brulee and lemon tart too were amazing. Not too sweet or sour, everything was well balance and tasty. The tart was definitely house baked/made of cour along with all other stuff they would have served.. just wow with everything I had.
With very kind staff and wonderful dining environment and experience. I thought I would provide my very first long and detailed google review to this restaurant. Definitely worth everything.
Thank you.
Delicious as always. Wait staff was a bit green and awkward, but I'm sure they will improve. Winter warmers menu is great value and a delicious way to try dishes you otherwise wouldn't. A great place for a special meal
A main special with wagyu & pork were delicious & beautifully presented.
We dined outside & loved a wonderful setting.
Service was excellent & enjoyed a bubbly atmosphere in the restaurant.
Went to a wedding there and it was absolutely fantastic. Perfect setting. Could not praise the staff highly enough - they were all brilliant and so friendly. Wonderful experience- and the food was divine!
