Last night I dined at the Brooklyn with my Mum and Aunty and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The meals were somewhat expensive, however the price was worth it as we all enjoyed our meals a lot. I had the beef cheek which was great, and we also got some share plates that were really nice. The only let down of this place is the atmosphere. The furniture looks a bit inexpensive, and it was a bit unclear what style the restaurant was trying to convey. The table talkers looked a bit like they’d been thrown together on Microsoft word. I think if the restaurant were to develop more of a distinct brand and style, it would have a much better vibe and be more attractive.
Stopped in for some lunch yesterday and ordered the crispy chicken. The salad was fresh and tasty and the chicken was cooked perfectly and came with the most devine mayo. Good wine list. Service was fast and friendly, will be returning to try some of the other good looking dishes on the menu.
Cool spot! Has a really nice ambiance, downstairs a kind of bar seating area and upstairs looked to be a more dining seating area. I stayed downstairs and got a few drinks and a couple pizzas. Really good service lovely lady seated and served us. Drinks and food came out quickly.
Pizza I thought could have a tad more topping on it, crust was a little dry and large for my taste but I'm not the biggest fun of crusts usually. Was an okay pizza, pretty pricey.
Jan 2017.After work drinks, chips and pizza.Staff were great ! Large group of us, we were able to sit out under the sun and they did a great job.Food was good, although $9.50 for a small fries is pricey, even for a bar.Pizza's were good, only that the same tables got the same pizza instead of sharing the three different varieties between the three lots of tables.

Had my birthday dinner here on Sunday night and could not find a fault. Very impressed with the service and food. The location is beautiful, overlooking the Tauranga Waterfront. The cocktail menu is to die for and the food was amazing. We had the smoked cheddar arancini balls, fried chicken and chicken pizza. Exceeded my expectations!
The Strand is just booming with amazing, vibey hangouts with great food & drink options, and Brooklyn is a stand-out gem.
We had some quick after-work pizzas and wine with a side of their gorgeously soft, yet crispy wavy fries (oh my yum)! The pizzas are super light and so tasty, with a crunchy thin base that makes it feel oh-so gourmet (and also lets you eat more without feeling guilty) and the house wine was great, although a tad expensive.
We sat outside on the upstairs deck and enjoyed stunning views. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Check out the specials!

Exactly what Tauranga needs!!! I came here when I was home for a weekend a few weeks ago and I looooved it, I came here with my family and the waitress we had was amazing - We're not the quietest bunch but she was great, kept the food coming and the drinks coming.
We ordered the Ceviche, the Beetroot and walnut dish, the pork belly, the fish sliders and a chocolate tart for dessert. (I'm sure that there was definitely some more dishes in there that I can't quite remember haha) The food was beautiful, couldn't fault it. The only minor issue being that we ordered a plate of the pea and halloumi fritters that unfortunately never arrived.
They've got great upstairs seating, both indoor and outdoor, which isn't common for places within Tauranga city so that's a definite advantage for them.
If you're ever stuck in Tauranga with no where to eat, like I have been many a time, go to Brooklyn i swear it's amazing.
A balanced, classy but relaxed place - great for a good catch up! The sliders are amazing - soft little buns and the meat is always cooked to perfection! It has amazing views and a good trendy vibe. Great place! Great pasta and wonderful food for the price you pay. Has a great selection of cocktails too!
Came here last night for a light snack and some Vinos
- was very busy but service was great had a great time between two of us we shared the fish sliders, cievce, and duck dumplings soo yummy, was so cosy on such a yuck wet night, il be back next month for dinner :-)
We had a great time eating here. Delicious food- the portions were just enough, the wait for the food was reasonable, and they were really yum! The service was great as well, attentive and nice staff.We liked how the place looked and "felt" too. We will definitely be back!
Great service, amazing food, awesome atmosphere, great to see the chef cooking these meals no complaints, we are regulars, tip .. get the duck dish!
What a brilliant establishment to dine, right from making the reservation to paying the bill. The food was faultless, the waitstaff were attentive but not in your face. You can see the professionalism in the kitchen because its open. If you are looking for top notch not over the top place to dine you wont be disappointed I urge you to try. Well done to all of the staff on duty on June 28th. You made our evening a pleasurable one. Thanks Shirley and Marcus.
We had the most amazing meal at brooklyn last night! The food was amazing, the service and ambience would be the best in tauranga in my opinion. We are so glad we found this place as we could not fault a single thing and we are fussy! My god try the creme brûlée, it is insane! Will absolutely be back
From our first inquiry for a group booking to leaving, we have experienced fantastic service. As a customer it is nice to be appreciated and accommodated. For our celebration, we opted for 5.30 drinks and nibbles. The price was great the service was flawless - of the highest standard! Our guests enjoyed the fantastic surroundings and on going attention from a great team of restaurant/bar staff! We stayed on for pizzas (as our meal) They were a fabulous way to keep our group together. The hostess was continuously accommodating until the last group of us left at 10.30pm. Well done Brooklyn patio and eatery and THANK YOU!
Went for lunch with a group of 10 adults and 5 preschoolers. Wonderful service, wonderful food. The restuarant and environment were very nice especially on a nice summery day. We had a number of different pizzas and they were all very tasty and well presented. I especially loved the brooklyn pizza and the cajun chicken. Will definitely be returning in the future, wether as a group or just for a nice dinner for two.
We had father's day lunch. We enjoyed it very much. Good service and delicious meals. The Brooklyn Pizza has flavours that suits my fussy children who no longer wants to eat from kids menu. I enjoyed the fish of the day which was served with barley risotto which is yummy, a dish that I don't cook at home. The breakfast pizza was also unique and my husband enjoyed it. The desserts are just scrumptious. The hokey pokey brulee is just divine, so is the Tiramisu and Cheesecake! It's so refreshing to go a restaurant where my fussy children actually eat all the food instead of leaving most of it on the plate. Would recommend to friends and would also return to dine. :)
Last night my husband and I had a fabulous meal at this restaurant. We both enjoy fine food and outstanding services so to our delight we found this place ticked all the boxes, and we will return in a heart beat.
Had lunch here last Friday. Was craving their garlic and herb bread from the last time I'd eaten there and wasn't disappointed. Mmmm mmm mmm. Tried the risotto balls this time and they were amazing. Hubby had the beef ribs and is still talking about them. Great views from the upstairs deck and awesome friendly service. Totally recommend!
My favourite place to go on The Strand! Service is 10/10, the food is more than just the usual boring combinations that other places offer. I recommend the Cajun Chicken pizza, it's amazing! Great prices, great food, great value! Finally The Strand has a nice place like this to go!
Love, Love, Love!! Where do we start since these guys opened we have been regulars, the food is great, staff are just lovely and to top it off the view from the deck is one of the best on the strand . A lovely wine list, pizza's rock, as do the mains. These guys get a double thumbs up from us!
I must say that its the best wood fired pizza's that I have ever had.
Great place for drinks, dinner and a great time.
Staff are amazing and the view from the top patio is the best. I would highly recommend Brooklyn Patio and Grill.
Exactly what the Strand needed.
The nicest "no rush, nothings' a fuss" dining we had all summer. Service: Top job, nothing was a problem. The 2 young ladies that looked after us - a rare find indeed! Along with the good humour required to deal with the diversity of fussy hungry humans, they both had a refreshingly genuine & friendly approach without being in your face. Food & Value for $$: Excellent! The pesto & parmesan bread a must to tantalise the taste buds & the prawn & calamari dishes cooked to perfection! Apart from a check to ensure our meals were o.k, & to offer refills, we were left in peace to enjoy our gluttony without being rushed off the table when we were finished.

Good selection of food and drinks. Everyone enjoyed their meals here. Really great service. Nice indoor and outdoor seating options. Overall quality was fantastic.
Surprisingly quiet on a Sunday afternoon though weather was terrible. Really nice ambience, good service and good main beers on tap also. Although we only had chips, they were reasonably priced and delivered very quickly from order. Will be back.
Came in and asked for a platter for 2 to be made up, chose from the starters. Food came out amazing and we having a great time! Waitress very great!
I've been to Reboubt outlets three times in three places - all random visits - all very satisfying. The brand is reliable.
The Strand was great. When I arrived, both the waitresses introduced themselves by name which really impressed me. Haven't seen that from hospitality staff in years!
The eye fillet was perfect and big enough that I didn't need to order sides. The chef knows what he/ she is doing.
The staff were attentive and genuine when they checked on me. That was appreciated.
Thankyou for a nice meal.
It was really amazing. Food was all great staffs were kind. Nice vibe and atmosphere.
Terrace on the top floor has a beautiful strand view.
Pizza from the fire pit was amazing.
Personally I love mushroom pizza, potato pasta, and duck pancake. I can say best food on Strand.
You won't regret to visit this place.
We went to The Redoubt last night for dinner. Had chips go a starter, I had the eye fillet and hubby had the fried chicken. Staff catered for him as we had to change his order a little bit. Both meals were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Steak was so tender and melted in my mouth. Staff were also amazing. Sorry, no photos as I ate it too quickly. 🙂 We will definitely be back.
Can't wait to go back again! Had the Sticky chicken. It was amazing. Others at my table had pork belly and ceasar salad. They loved their meals too. Thanks for a lovely meal team.
Walked in off the street, warm smiles and cold beer. Steak for Bill and linguine for me, perfect. Steak was well aged and Chef cooked it medium rare as requested. Rocket and Pear salad beautifully seasoned. No room for desert - well maybe! Fancy coffee for Bill and creme brulee for me (shared!) The berry compote was the nicest I have ever eaten. I even received a lit candle to celebrate my birthday. The staff kept all tables clean and tidy with plenty of chat to share around.
Really enjoyed eating here on the upstairs deck. Our waitress was lovely. The menu offered a lot of choice and was delish! Will say this though, both times we came the young girl downstairs with black hair behind the bar didnt say hello to us or make us feel welcomed at all. Simply barked at us "vax passes" no hello nothing. Apart from her the experience was lovely
The service was great really friendly staff, the food was amazing really enjoyed it.
The only thing that put me off my dinner slightly was the big mouth sitting on the next table speaking so loudly we could hear about the time she was giving birth, not exactly the nicest conversation to be over hearing while trying to eat your dinner, should have asked the staff if we could move elsewhere i guess, apart from that trauma the restaurant was great lol:)
Just stopped in for a quick drink, cocktail awesome as usual. Lovely views on the waterfront. Will have to come back to try the food another time.
Traveled from Auckland to Tauranga as my hairdresser moved down there, decided to stop and have a bite to eat and get a drink before catching up with a friend. Totally loved the staff, shout out to the young lady who was talking hair with me, so welcoming and friendly even asked my name to give it a personal touch. Will definitely be back and would recommend. Thank you
Had an awesome meal and house made iced tea and sodas! They were delicious, as was all the food. Great selection and fast. The staff were amazing, all friendly and welcoming without being overbearing, great atmosphere. Thank you, we will be back!
The lamb dish is the best I've ever tasted!
Came for a meal with friends - nicely low key, ready to chat without no intruding back ground music 👍👍. The food was great and there is good variety; we could easily come again and have a completely different menu. Service personnel are polite, nearby, and not over attentive. Well worth it and we will boo coming back.
Great food and service with excellent outdoor area.
This restaurant provides great quality and delicious food, very minimal wait time and staff were welcoming. The atmosphere was lovely and the veiw was gorgeous. We will definitely be returning customers when ever we come back to the MT.
What a gem. We lucked upon this place while looking for a bar/eatery that was relatively quiet. The food was fantastic and the service the same. The boss was very personable and treated his staff with respect. We discovered an upstairs area as we were leaving which was not initially obvious so don't be put off if downstairs looks full.
