Great location and great view if you get a table facing the harbour.We tried the wakanui angus tenderloin, duck breast, steamed vegetables and french fries with truffle paste. They served bread with truffle butter at the start which was pretty good. The steak and duck were okay and pleasantly looking to the eyes. However, the vegetables that came with these and the side vegetables were not good. There was nothing gourmet or even tasty about them, specially for a Michelin star chef. The staff was very friendly and generally I would have rated the service very well. However, there was an incident that somewhat ruined the evening. Once we were done with dinner, I paid and signed and we headed to the bar for another drink. As I was coming out of the restroom my date was being told by a waitress that we hadnt paid and was holding an EFTPOS machine and the bill. This was very distasteful and unnecessary. Specially when he was being invited to dinner. The staff had been very friendly up to this point but this waitress wasn’t even apologetic and rather rude. Very unfortunate :(! My personal experience with service was bad but generally just based on the food, I wouldnt go back nor recommend Harbour Society anyway.
Came in for a birthday dinner yesterday with friends. Ordered the seared black angus beef and the brassica with floret for our mains. For the sides, we ordered the wild mushroom fricasse and the french fries with truffle paste. For drinks, we got the bees knees and two sweet hereafters. beef was tender and the brassica was pan fried really well. The cauliflower had a smokey flavour to it and was plated nicely. Wild mushrooms were soft and when dipped in truffle paste, tasted even more delicious. French fries were at the right crispiness. Service was real good. Loved the view from SO/.
Came here during Xmas. Food was great and service impeccable. Only biggest disappointment was cream of Roquefort which was too advanced for or pallet and also other tables as we saw many being returned. That being said, the other dishes outshined to still allow us to have a positive taste experience.
The service was very good (continuous run of free bread) – the bread was very crispy on the outside and very soft in the centre which came with truffle butter.The A5 wagyu came in a 100g only – but there is a side with the steak that other photos dont seem to have (this includes the Australian beef and the T-bone. The lamb rack was cooked very well – fat was rendered well and was nicely charred on the outside.I really enjoyed the ravioli was really nice (I decided to keep the sauce to dip the bread in). The crayfish/lobster entree was very fancy – one of their specialities.
Beautiful venue and great services. They always checked up on how we are doing and if we needed anything else.There was a slight hiccup in my food but it was taken care of quickly and professionally.The A5 wagyu was an extreme disappointment.Sous vide crayfish has a weird texture. Not a personal recommendation.I would possibly return.
No expert in the Auckland dining scene but I reckon this would have to be one of the best looking dining rooms in the city, very sleek, amazing views and there has been no expense spared on anything. Only had buffet breakfast however it was one of the better ones Ive seen. Not your mass produced buffet where its a big mess and stuff sits there for ever and tastes crap, small portions and topped up frequently. Great range and excellent quality
Excellent ambience with stunning views. Friendly staff and food were very quickly served.The truffle butter that came with the bread was delicious. The entres were beautifully arranged. Little disappointed on the charcoal rib eye, the meat itself was tender but didnt retain enough juice. The French fries with truffle paste aioli was yummy and the steamed vegetables contained a great mix of vegetables.The stars are for the atmosphere and presentation, nice place to hangout for some drinks, but probably wont revisit their food again.
