This is an excellent restaurant. The staff are passionate foodies and are very attentive. The food is divine with lots of interesting things to choose from. The restaurant itself is tranquil and the tables are spaced far enough apart to make it feel intimate. A lovely place for a long lunch or a romantic dinner. We will definitely be coming back.
One of my favourite restaurants in the Tauranga region. Have been coming here for 15 years when we are in town. Amazing wine list, service and food. Thanks again for another great meal, as long as you are there we will be back!
I took my wife to Somerset Cottage for our Anniversary August 12th 2016, I was looking for something different to all the other restaurants that were highly commended in Tauranga and quite frankly looked over rated and uninspired and having read some reviews on this website about Somerset I wasn’t to sure I had made the right choice, However I like to live on the edge and was delighted with the Food, Service and Atmosphere of the restaurant , the staff were relaxed but professional and attentive. The warm and Intimate interior was perfect as we avoided the usual raucous atmosphere many larger establishments can have. What may be considered a pricey menu to some, we were impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of the food with clever use of ingredients and flavour profiles both traditional and trendy. The only let down was dessert which wasn’t nearly as good as the Entree and Mains. The staff also at my request wrote Happy Anniversary on the dessert plate and added a sparkler for some extra brownie points for my wife. Thanks Somerset Cottage for an Excellent Night out!!! Highly recommend
December 2015.Lunch for 12.Entree of squid was very nice – good dressing.Main of steak. Came with three small slices of mushroom, melting butter and a nice jus. Definitely not great, especially for the price !Desert of trio of small items. Very average at best.Were give craft beer only drinks menu and wine. No non alcoholics and I’m not pay $12 – $16.50 for a single beer. We did get the extended drinks menu when were were given the food menu.Service was average.Very expensive and very underwhelmed given I’d heard previously fairly good things about it.Won’t be back.
I cannot rave about this place enough! Been a few times now and it has always been amazing! Attentative staff who give you space to eat. The best dishes are the pate (smooth, fluffy with a decadent mousse like consistency) and the duck (the orange sauce is divine, duck and kumara is just a divine paring!) Beautiful interiors, dark but very romantic – a bit femme fatale even!
Went with another couple, took our own wine, though meals are a little on the high side the meals were just as we wanted them.The surroundings and atmosphere were perfect would definitely go again for that special occasion.
Had a meal at Somerset Cottage last saturday, booked a table for 8.30 it was very busy when we got there but we couldn’t fault it, good service and great food. Yes it is pricy and the meals aren’t huge but our meals were divine, great atmosphere and friendly staff.
