The Commons Bar + Bistro

The Commons is a really great place to go for a drink out in Takapuna or also enjoy a good meal. The restaurant is beautiful, it is so well arranged and fitted out. The food is always amazing. The prices do match but it is always worth it. It does tend to get quite noisy in here in the evenings but there are some quiet nooks around for a bit of privacy or place.

I took my wife here for our wedding anniversary this year. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. The waiter was attentive but not overbearing. This was recommended to us from a friend and it didn't disappoint. A very enjoyable evening. We may repeat it next year.

Love this venue it is absolutely gorgeous! I do have to say that a larger food variety would be great. I had the misfortune of ordering the Rose Lamb dish for dinner and it was truly horrendous - I could choose between fish or lamb, I don't eat fish. It was like eating raw meat :( The waitress did inform us that they have received many complaints about this dish due to the meat consistency (although we were told it was slow cooked) , why not remove it if this is the case? Apart from my dinner, the evening and service was wonderful. I will definitely be back...fingers crossed that there is a larger meal selection though!

great atmosphere, friendly staff! Happy hour specials are good and the layout is great. They take reservations and can be seated in outdoor covered terrace or indoor restaurant setting! Overall great experience!

Awesome! My favourite bar and restaurant in Takapuna
