Fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience from the cocktails to the delicious menu choices, including the authentic tirimasu dessert. Charlie, our server, was simply a delight educating us on the "Sicilian way" with our food choices. Great service and atmosphere and very accommodating with our guests. Definitely recommend.

I will 100% choose this first table over and over, and victor (manager) made our experience the absolute best.

Even though the special conditions said that we weren't allowed to take the 3ft pizza, Victor told us we could and so we shared one pizza, making the costs for this evening insanely low.

The 3 flavors we chose were all super yummy and we took some leftovers back home, so get to treat ourselfs once more hehe.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice. It's nothing posh and fancy, but very chill and hipster vibes I'd say.

What an amazing lunch my husband and I had. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional 👌 😋.

Everything we ate was delicious with the onion bhaji, our chicken tikka masala and kadhai chicken and the delectable cheese garlic and chilli garlic naan bread. Wow its was amazing and so so delicious 😋. Obviously I had to have a mango lassie - the best drink that I have ever had! We only went to Arrowtown for our lunch at Mantra! LMAO 🤣. If you have the opportunity go to Mantra! But the best thing is that our meal was 50% off! Love FIRST TABLE app!

Exploring true cultural and gastronomy from Nepal. What a fantastic experience we will be back for more! Wonderful attention to detail, authentic tastes fully explained by Matire d’, with insightful thoughtful advice about complementary dishes. Food of high quality, fresh and appetising.

We normally have takeaways but really wanted to dine in. This is absolutely the best place for any Indian restaurant we have ever eaten at. The portions and flavours are absolutely next level. The service was attentive and perfect also. We think it’s the best Indian we’ve ever had and we have lived overseas also. Thank you for a fabulous meal as always.

Authentic Italian dining at its finest! From start to finish, everything about our experience was amazing.

The service was warm and attentive, and the food was absolutely delightful—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented.

The cocktails were equally spectacular, perfectly crafted.

We couldn’t have asked for more. This is a place we’d 100% recommend, and we’ll definitely be returning next time we’re in the area!

**Review of Marine Parade Eatery**

I went to Marine Parade Eatery for lunch with a friend, and it was such a great experience! I had the apple crumble waffles with a coffee, and my friend had the smoked salmon bagel with an iced coffee.

Everything was absolutely delicious. The waffles were amazing—the stewed apple, crumble, and caramel sauce were the perfect combination. It was really nice to have something a bit different. The portions were generous, so I’d recommend taking advantage of the gorgeous location next to the beach for going for a walk before to work up an appetite or afterwards to walk off the kai.

The service was fantastic. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to others and can’t wait to go back!
