Food with a view. Loved the kumara fries. Nice seating area. Good Ambience. Good Choice of beers to try out.
Amazing platter with seafood, pork ribs and chicken - plenty for 2 people! Top notch customer service, the staff were all friendly and offered us samples for different beers. Great outdoor seating with a beach view, would definitely return!
Excellent service, platter was large and seafood was fresh.
I had a very nice experience here, the staff were friendly the view was amazing up top but most importantly the food was fabulous. Good quality chips and the Thai beef salad was amazing. I get Thai beef salads quite a bit but this one is definitely one of the top the marinade on the beef was superb
Sat upstairs which is a really nice setting. Ordered the ribs, smashed avocado on toast and kids meal and was reasonably priced and everything got eaten feeling very satisfied. Definitely be going back again ☺️
This is a great spot right across from the beautiful Orewa beach. It’s two story, so there’s plenty of seating. We sat upstairs on the deck, where the view was spectacular. The interior is also nicely decorated with a chilled, coastal vibe. The staff were all very friendly & attentive. There’s a great selection of reasonably priced food & drink. My partner & I shared a meat platter which was great value for money. Everything was perfectly looked & we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would highly recommend Coast & will be back for sure.
Bao pork belly buns - tick. Had to get more to takeaway. Really good place to catch up after work or meet the girls for a wine. Beautiful views and really scrummy food that we share between us. Will be back for sure!
Had a Rather large table all the food came out in a timely manner. The ribs were certainly the Winner in my eyes Meat just fell off the bone. Excellent service. Will definitely be back. Lane Fluffy
Service was great, food was pretty decent. Personally I got the chicken burger and was happy with the taste. Although I felt it was slightly overpriced at $23 for the smallish size you get. But great place awesome atmosphere on weekend days/Thursday, considering orewa is pretty dead most nights.
Beautiful day and outside was quite full so we headed upstairs outside... even better great views. Friendly service great food selection and drinks.
We ordered:
Surf n turf-platter
Brewers garlic bread
Nicely presented... calamari nice and ribs really tender..
Not the best garlic bread but nice loaf
Yummy espresso martini
Ate here on Saturday night with friends, even though they were quite a few tables, they were pretty quick with getting food and drinks out to us. We ordered the Surf & Turf board, the Meaty McMeat Face Board, and each couple had a side of chips each. For dessert we had the Nutella cheesecake and the Salted Caramel Ice cream Sandwich. While i thoroughly enjoyed everything I had, I have to say that $9 for the plate of chips is a complete joke. Served as though "my kids wont eat off the menu, can you please just send a plate of chips". A measly dot of tomato sauce and aioli on the place dont add up to $9, that is a rip off. Thought the cheesecakes were a bit overpriced ($13) for the size as well.
We were in Orewa for the weekend and went to Coast for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the service was outstanding! Nothing was too much trouble. The pork belly is to die for.
I have been to Coast many times since it opened and have always been disappointed with the haphazard service. The food has always been consistently good however. Last night was the first time we have been back since Bobby and his crew from Oliver’s next door have taken over. We had the ribs, squid , tofu and sweet corn fritters and of course the chunky fries. What a present surprise. The staff although young were attentive and provided excellent service and for once the service equaled the food. Thanks for the experience.
Myself and my extended family would like to thank Coast Orewa for providing an incredible venue to host our family reunion - 65 of us. We can't speak highly enough of the service, food and hospitality we all experienced on Saturday night.
A special mention to AP, Sophie and Nick who were incredibly accommodating especial for our 2 vegan members of the family - they were blown away with their platters.
In fact you were voted the best venue we've had for our family reunions, so now our family from Taupo have some big shoes to fill in 2 years time!
We went here for dinner and shared calamari, pork ribs and chicken bites this fed 3 people comfortably we also had some craft beer, the calamari had a crispy light batter and the pork ribs was so tender it fell off the bones. The atmosphere was very festive but not overwhelming or disruptive. The staff were very attentive we left feeling very content. Looking forward to returning with more people on Christmas eve and i will enjoy revisiting whenever we visit Orewa.
Sitting upstairs you have a lovely view of Orewa beach. The interior is spacious and have a holiday beach vibe. I can highly recommend the fish cakes if you want a light lunch. My dining partner had the $20 steak lunch special and thoroughly enjoyed it. They also have a selection Deep Creek beers.
Food was great! They seated us quickly but would of liked to have the water topped up as there was 8 of us there and it didn't get topped up the whole time we sat there and had to ask.
But overall experience was great
Great location. We sat upstairs near the window overlooking the sea. Lovely spot. The staff were attentive and the food was great. The bathrooms were clean.
I loved the staff and the food brought my family here and loved everything about it we will return ❤️ they made sure we we're okay at all times though out our time here
Visited on Sunday. Super hot and wanted to enjoy the sun.
Ordered at the bar, service was a little abrupt but with a casual pub food place it's what I'd expect.
Ordered fried chicken, cheeseburger and chicken tacos.
Food came out within 15 minutes by a very friendly runner (wish I could remember her name - she had long blonde hair and wore glasses) who chatted to us and came back to check everything was ok with the meal - this is the kind of service that's distinctly lacking in Orewa.
Food was great, super tasty and enough to feed the two of us.
We'll definitely return here
I came here with my best friend for a coffee date, I wasn't too sure of what to expect since the last time I was here there wasn't much to choose from.
Absolutely loved it here the ambience and service was EXCELLENT. Now the food... Where do I start O ordered the Quinoa salad with chicken and I wanted the recipe!
But to be honest I would come back just because I love the vibe! this will be my treat meal and my get away with friends from out of town!
A gem across the road from Orewa beach GOTTA LOVE THAT!
Love keep up the awesome work GUYS!
Have been here for the ribs before and what a pleasant experience. Initially had to wait a bit for the waitress to come take the order, but that was fine since I saw they were really busy. got the ribs and some extra platter and ate till my heart content. was very delicious. meat fell off the bone and was really messy just as I like it. Only down side was the limited selection of beer. Only craft beer options available. I dislike craft beer with a passion... its just not for me. But in saying that, I will be back to have some more food.
Had a delicious light lunch here - nicely presented and spiced chicken and kumara bites. They also serve some quality craft beers you won't find in your average bar
I've been a big fan of Coast since I started visiting NZ last year. Since the last time I was here, they've added the 2nd floor, and they did a tremendous job! All the construction related details and design were all very well addressed. The atmosphere is cool and comfortable. The bartenders and wait staff are friendly, competent and all around superb. The meal presentation is excellent. They found themselves are really great chef, all of the meals I've had have been really good. The prices are very reasonable as well. I keep coming back for everything that I've mentioned, but the best reason to go there is that they have the best craft beer of anywhere in NZ!
I definitely recommend it!

Visited last week for lunch with a friend and tried the $20 lunch specials menu.
We ordered two meals; the fish and chips was a large serve and my friend said enjoyable enough, however the fish was overcooked considerably and very "chewy" - hard to imagine fish being chewy? The chicken burger left a lot to be desired, with a half uncooked/warmed bun, chicken tenderloin which was not tender nor had any flavour despite some green (herb?) looking seasoning on it, and the house coleslaw was very, very average, roughly cut with a very poor quality mayo type sauce to it which again lacked flavour and added nothing to the meal.
The atmosphere, cool beachy decor and stunning views are what would bring someone here, plus the cold beer... I cannot fault the great service, it was excellent - thank you people!
Would I go back, yes, I would give Coast another whirl... though, suggest the kitchen team check out the fab work they do at Coast's sister eatery down in Browns Bay, now that's a $20 lunch special! See my review! Cheers. Mupps.
*** UPDATE *** 25.02.16 - enjoyed lunch here today with friends... really enjoyed ourselves and the food had improved greatly!!
Enjoyed our lunch here. Was slightly dubious with the $20 lunch including a drink, seemed to good to be true but was delicious. My Mum had the ribs which were melt in your mouth, Aunty had the steak which was also delicious. I had the chicken burger which I found a bit bland but hey we're all different. Excellent staff who made us feel very welcome. We will be back :)

We were greeted with lovely and polite service. Downstairs is more of a pub environment but don't let that put you off if you are here to dine, there is nice comfortable seating upstairs in the relaxed dining area.
The place is generally well designed, with many diffferent seating arrangements, plus lovely and clean.
Food was really nice. We tried the Seafood Platter and a few side dishes and some beers. They were all really good, I would describe this as tasty and satisying New Zealand cuisine e.g. lots of seafood, meat, fresh salad, seasonal offerings etc. very nice after a day at the beach or surfing or whatever.
So great to find somewhere in Orewa that does a seafood platter. The fish was lovely and succulent, the calamari was tasty and crispy and moist inside. Lovely flavour with the prawns. There was a very subtle hint of chilli and other tropical flavours within our dishes which was nice. There were some nice touches such as fish pate, and crostini & interesting dips, which were lovely to start with and were delicious. I wish they would do the option of a giant Seafood Platter with even more variety as it's hard to find anywhere in Auckland near the sea that does this. I would travel for this! The sides were also top quality.
Great and generous selection of fresh salad, dips and sauces with everything too. I looked across to other diner's meals and they looked delicious and good value portions.
Really generous servings however we managed to polish everything off. Will definitely come back next time we are passing through.
Keep up the good work!
$75 for two. (Platter, 2 sides, 1 drink each)
After a great walk around the Orewa Estuary we went to Coast for lunch today. We have been to the Deep Creek in Browns Bay several times and have always found it to be great, so we're eager to try the Orewa version. We sat upstairs on the deck where we had panoramic view over the beach and gulf, and enjoyed a Lotus Pale Ale - lovely taste of floral tropical fruits. We ordered the Meat Paddle with a side of fries. The paddle was ample for lunch and the pulled beef, pork ribs and chips are all worth a special mention as they were delicious. The lamb skewer (1) was a little tough and meagre, and (as we were eating ribs & chicken wings) the lack of a finger bowl and scraps plate were noticeable omissions. The service was superb and when the weather got cooler we were offered rugs - a lovely touch. We noticed the in-house menu included a Vegetarian Paddle (not listed on their Zomato website) which we are keen to try next visit.
Was lovely to have some tapas paired with delicious wine! Enjoyed a few dishes that I shared with my mum and we enjoyed the squid the best. Would be s great place to go on a Friday night or sunny afternoon too
If you are ever looking for a delicious rib meal, you need to go to coast! Me or my partner will always order ribs where we can its one of our favourite meals but no where has come close to the ribs from coast! The other meals are gorgeous as well, quesadillas especially !! And the prices are really good for the quality and value of the meals.
Good vibe in the new upstairs bar. Excellent wait staff. My wife and daughter shared the meat paddle and generally enjoyed it. Prawns and calamari a little tasteless though.Had to send my first bowl of chunky fries back as they were lukewarm. Next bowl was fine and they were tasty enough. My Chicken Quesadillas were disappointing. Very little in them and what is this obsession with bbq sauce? Maybe it's an attempt to give bland food some flavour. My home made quesadillas have a mixture of ingredients with plenty of flavour and I'd be happy to come by and give the chef a lesson in this dish which a great favourite in our family.
I had a glass of Argentinian red and it was very good, as was the wife's Sav.
Ideal location in the centre of Orewa, with a new coastal style fit out and great views from the top level out over the water. Menu looks good, although the day we were there the deep fryer was playing up so menu selection was limited. I had the fish sliders which I found a bit uninspired, but I also tried the pulled pork quesadillas and they were amazing. Service perhaps a touch on the slow side but overall had a good impression and would definitely come back again.
Great spot, friendly staff and tasty food...love those platters! We've had drinks, lunches and dinners here...all good. We're looking forward to seeing the new extensions.
Had the pork belly. Was amazing and tender. Beautifully presented. Thoroughly enjoyed. Fantastic service and friendly staff :) highly recommended!
This was our first time here and wow the food was amazing! we ordered 3 dishes plus a side salad and everything was just soooo good! Nothing negative here the service was fantastic, so friendly and everything was well priced $65 for dinner for 2 plus a drink each, we will definitely be back.
Great place, good vibe and food was FANTASTIC. I had pork belly which was to die for and the others enjoyed their steaks. It was a special bonus for us to hear Phil Madsen singing and he even gave us a CD. All in all it was a fabulous night. Thanks - we will be back.
Coast is as a great bar, it has a relaxed atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, and attentive service, the food is tasty, they offer a good selection of wine and the beer is very good too. An excellent destination in Orewa.
Coast is just what Orewa always needed! A cosy beach bar with excellent food, friendly service, and delicious beers that are perfectly matched to the food on offer. We had the Beer Tasting Platter (offering a taster of 3 beers matched with 3 different foods - tender fish, melt-in-the-mouth pork and expertly grilled scotch fillet), a platter of calamari and a house made loaf of bread. The portions were generous and the flavours were fantastic! The beers were all very tasty and matched the food wonderfully. We will definitely be back and will recommend this place to others!
We enjoyed a lovely dinner here last Monday night. The tasting platters were beautiful and very filling. Loved the ribs. Jasmine was our waitress and she offered professional service and was fantastic with our children. She was able to answer questions about the menu and was very friendly. My only suggestion would be to have more items on offer on the kids menu.
Will definitely be back :)

I was so pleased when Deep Creek opened in Orewa and have been several times since opening night. The food is fantastic, and we've had particularly great service from some of the wait staff. However, if this bar is to survive, then they need to do something about the argumentative little girl who calls herself the manager. Each time I have been there, she has been caught up in an altercation with a staff member, gruelling them in front of customers for no good reason. I witnessed one poor waitress who is just lovely being made to feel like a complete imbecile by being checked up on every few minutes when she was doing a perfect job. This made it uncomfortable for us to be continuously overhearing this rubbish. We love the food, and the other wait staff and will be back but I cannot promise to hold my tongue as this girl needs to leave the power trip behind and help with the workload instead of constantly following the others around criticising. I highly recommend the food and boutique beers and would give this a 5 start rating if it was not for this one person ruining the atmosphere. Please don't let this put you off, I am not the type of person who likes to complain for no reason - I just think these comments would be helpful to the management as I'd like to see this place take off.
Went here on 2nd February for a friends 30th dinner (table of 8). Staff were great, atmosphere in Orewa was fantastic.
Food was to die for! Ribs especially.
Overall this is now my new favourite place to eat on the Coast. Highly recommended.
The manager even gave the birthday boy a complimentary chocolate brownie. Great service. Cant rave about it enough - well done guys.
Visited new Coast restaurant on 4th Feb for dinner - thank God the guys have opened up in Orewa!
Congratulations on a great little bar and restaurant with great atmosphere and another floor to come, which will make it THE place to go in Orewa.
We (table of 5) chose the JD Ribs and also the Fish - all dishes were excellent and the service provided by Jade was very professional and humorous, furthermore Monroe our waitress (on her first night) looked after us really well.
We look forward to making this our 'regular' and can only recommend to others to try - you shouldn't be disappointed!
Cheers
We were with extended family, some visiting from Australia and we enjoyed our big group being a little separate at a large table. Drinks were bought quickly and the wait staff were observant to later needs. The food was delicious and we didn't wait long. Highly recommend
A good night at Coast. The food was served quickly and very tasty. (Really enjoyed the Tacos) we were a large group and the staff moved tables around to accommodate us. Special thanks to Riley who took it on herself to make sure the whole group had brilliant friendly service. Even acted as photographer so no one missed being in the picture.
Epic food, will be back. Once got attention of staff was OK.
Other guests where very distracting but that's not a venue issue as such.
We have no been here twice. Once for dinner and once for breakfast. Both were fantastic! Ended up here after another restaurant let us down. Wonderful find on a whim. There sharing platters are divine!
We were greeted by a polite helpful young team who seated us immediately.
The other half and I shared the surf and turf platter as a starter - it was great. Melt in the mouth pork rib, calamari, marinated grilled chicken, scallops and prawns pan fried, and some fish which was tempura battered which was amazing. The other half had the pulled pork soft taco and I had the lemon salt and pepper calamari - it was one of the best casual meals I've eaten in a long time. Didn't break the bank either. Definitely a "would go again" spot. A great Tuesday evening treat.

A place above Oliver's also they do amazing food and drinks I highly recommend them it is one of many fav places I LOVE to dine. I can't forget to mention they have a very lovely view. 🥰
Definitely give em a try if you happen to pass through orewa beach front.
Platters are always great when you're unsure what you're after, really good selection with meat platter and the surf N Turf platter. Variety of cocktails available too. Burgers are good n filling as well, Calamari is always a treat. Friendly staff always, and I've been here a few times at different times of the day. Always a good time with friends n family here. A+. Defz a strong friendly team here. Appreciate you all 💯.
Fantastic service. Wandered in for a table for two for lunch on a busy day and didn’t feel like we were a burden. Lovely staff and food was spectacular! Didn’t wait too long for our food either even on a very busy day. Well done!

We have our weekly breakfast meeting here on a Thursday. Coast are amazing with their professional, quick service, great breakfasts, how they remember names and what coffees you order each time. Their French toast melts my taste buds every time 🤤 😋
Thanks team and see you again every Thurs.
Nice view from upstairs, the food is usually good but every now and again you get a dud. Today I had a chicken burger that was cooked too quickly and it maintained its grizzly chewy chicken texture. Wasn’t very nice. Staff are generally friendly and the place is always packed so it’s quite loud.
