Dawsons - Auckland

Wow! Just wow!<br/ Clare Inn has taken pub food to the next level. Some higher end restaurants couldn't even beat their food standards, I'm sure!<br/ <br/ We had the Special of the Day, Grilled Snapper and Beef Wellington. Both were delicious, well balanced, and came in ideal-sized portions.<br/ <br/ This award-winning bar has exceptional food offerings, fantastic vibes and good service. What else could you ask for?<br/ <br/ Highly recommended. And we'll be back!<br/

I was expecting a standard pub with standard pub food but this place really surprised me! Very good food, I had their pasta which was so yum. And also very friendly owners.

Had a group Sunday dinner at the weekend just gone. There are some great pub grub and sunday dinner options on offer. The food is great pub food very filling and tasty. We all had the beef Wellington which went down well ,a chicken breast that was tasty and lots of it. And I had the Sunday roast which was fab, well cooked meat and the best option imo the staff are super friendly and attentive throughout the meal as we all had a few pints. The only drawback is there is a slight wait on the dinner but it was worth it.

Had a lovely lunch here today. We were greeted by friendly people, seated and given menus right away. <br/ <br/ We ordered from the lunch menu and it was fantastic. The food is so well presented and the portion sizes are extremely generous. <br/ <br/ The sticky pork ribs were so tender, the meat just slid off the bones with a slight touch. The meat just melted in your mouth and was full of flavour. Generous servings of fries and coleslaw to accompany the meat. Also they give you a lemon hand wash for the ribs.<br/ <br/ The sausages and mash with whiskey gravy was an absolute delight. They were generous with the whole plate! Plenty of sausages, a waterfall of sauce, a mountain of whole grain mustard and the highlight for me was the mashed potatoes. By far the best mashed potato I've ever eaten. 5 stars for the mashed potato.<br/ <br/ I love the cosy feel, the Irish music and the lovely staff. Next time when its not raining I would definitely like to sit upstairs in the outdoor area! <br/ <br/ Thanks for a delightful and satisfying lunch Clare Inn!

Beer is great! good place to hang out with friends. I tried low cooked lame, it is very delicious, if the side is some vegetable salad it will be even great! Nice food and staff, will visit again.
