Ortolana

As much as I wanted to love this place, the food was simply average across the board - both the scallop starter and crayfish ravioli main were just bland. The crayfish was quite tough, likely under-cooked, which is a shame coming from a well regarded restaurant. The service was good and the venue [although small] is pretty cool.

Food is pretty simple but they make good coffee and the ambience was nice to hang around.

Highly recommended. Very friendly and appropriate service. Food is creative. The highlight is hazelnut paste with beef sirloin. I have never tasted before and found it very refreshing. Price is very attractive & very good service too .

Had a nice meal with family. Definitely family friendly which is a big plus for us as we like to take our son on dining experiences.The food was fresh and a great mixture of flavors. Good coffee! Extremely high quality food! Very diverse many with good portion sizes. All ingredients seem to be very fresh!

Had chicken cotoletta and my friend had a steak plus we had an espresso penacotta. Very unusual and delicious menu, really enjoyed it and would come back next time in Auckland. Pricing around $30 for the main, $14 for dessert, absolutely worth it. Great portion size also.
