The Front Room Coastal Eatery - Waikanae

Lovely food, lovely staff. Waffles could have done with slightly more (berry and syrup) topping. Lots of options on the menu that appealed so we'll definitely be back!

The salt and pepper calamari was phenomenal. So tender and cooked beautifully, and the combination of the sweetness and sourness of the pineapple and other dressings were amazing. Honestly one of the nicest meals I’ve had in a while, and very reasonably priced with a generous portion. Thanks for a g

Good coffee ☕️ and local food. Have eaten here a few times and the food and location is excellent. The staff are very helpful and forward thinking. As in previous visits the latte and cheese scone was great 👍

Really good coffee! Pleasant staff. Counter food was very limited - approx 5 choices but only one spinach and olive scroll left at 10.30. New owners are trying hard. My little group are missing the delicious salmon bagles from the previous regime however.

Lovely restaurant, can eat inside or out. Great food, excellent service. We were there Labour weekend, so was very busy but the staff were great and so onto it! Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous lunch at The Front Room on Saturday. Tried the Sweet Potato Rosti and it was wow, loved it. That dish is now my new favourite. Also had a great coffee... They do really good coffee ☕😁

I visited The Front Room on a trip up north to visit family. We decided to go for dinner and we’re not disappointed by the lovely service, the menu and the atmosphere. The food was delightful and would highly recommend a visit from anyone looking for a great meal with great service.

April2022 went to the back of the Front Room. Went for afternoon snacks with friends and a dog. All welcomed. Was surprised with what came out on the plates to how they were priced. Lacking in quantity and flavour to the price. Had the calamari and jerky.

Loved the coffee. Such a great find! We stumbled upon it. The staff was super friendly. I loved the calamari!

Loved the crispers and the Salt n Pepper Calamari. Great gluten free options. The atmosphere was good too. Will be going back again

Beautiful courtyard for our brunch. Food was excellent and service was great. We were there early on a sunny midweek morning - this place can get really busy on the weekends

Had the calamari and wife had the Bao buns, delicious. Coffee was ok, but so delicious and an awesome outdoor seating area. Recommended!

Excellent coffee and pleasant service, coffee did take a good 10 minutes to come but they were getting busy. ( Sunday morning around 10)

Went on a very busy Mother's Day, staff were super friendly and accommodating. The fish n chips were delicious!

Great service with attentive staff. The lovely flat white and delicious date scone were exactly what I wanted. Thanks The Front Room
