Customhouse - North End New Zealand

We had a lovely family meal here last weekend. We were a bit nervous as my daughter had decided this was the place for her birthday meal and it didn't really look setup for kids. However, the staff bought out a box of toys and we sat at a corner table and tried to keep out of the other guests way as the place filled up. The food was all very nice. For starters we had squid, chicken and some breads. The squid was fantastic! For mains we have selections of blue cod (a bit disappointed with the tempura batter it was pretty thick! , ribs and another main that I cannot remember. Everything was good, the service was nice and I think we'd be back.

We were a group 12 for dinner on the eve of Rigby Test match. The restaurant was very busy. It was the first time we have there. Most of us had 2 course and others 3. We were very pleased with the food. It was tasty well presented, good choice and ample. Most of us were pretty full by the end of the main course but just could not resist the dessert. The service was a bit slow with the waitresses seemingly to need to take our drink order in 'batches '. But considering how busy it was, we cannot fault it. The food came out together for the group so no one was left 'waiting '. Definitely recommend this place and going back in August for a birthday meal with a group of 6.

Amazing venue, beautiful food and lovely service. Antipasto to start, was just beautiful, just the right amount of carbs vs meats and olives, dips, artichoke hearts etc .The Osso Bucco divine and the Steak, even more so.

Wow. We went here for dinner last night and I was very impressed. Best steak weve ever had. Kids were well catered for too and even brought toys out to them while we waited for our meals. Meals were out really quick too, can't wait to come back!!

Lovely food! Excellent service! Superb atmosphere! My husband is very critical about steak and he did not leave any on his plate which shows it had no fat what so ever! My lamb melted in my mouth! Highly recommend!
