Ombrellos Kitchen & Bar

very nice atmosphere and food.

Excellent menu, excellent coffee and great friendly service. Definitely worth a visit.

We love this place! We have been there a number of times over the last year. The new owners are doing the place proud. We have enjoyed lunches and dinner and an engagement party there and also went to the Waitangi BBQ and Beer event . All have been really enjoyable. There is regular live music, a rustic courtyard with a roaring fire and an event room and formal dining room, so there is something and a space for everyone and every occaison. I have enjoyed many dishes esp the pasta and the snack platters (the pork belly is delicious). Emersons and other local/boutique beers and a great selection of wines. Friendly helpful staff and a clean well kept bathroom (which I have found to be a good predictor of service). I can't wait to go again.... see you there.

We went last week for a lunch meal for someone leaving work and I was expecting small portions and to feel ripped off because I remember the last time I visited not being so impressed. I'm happy to report I didn't get what I expected :-). The Panko-Crumbed Terakihi I had was a decent size and very tasty, and the Ombrello's Burger most others had looked very filling too (one person only managed to eat half of theirs). Very impressed - perhaps ownership has changed since my last visit! Will definitely be visiting again.

A lot of people like this place but I don't find it very good. The pizzas are the similar to what you can make at home and the risotto was very plain and not cooked very well. Might be better just for a drink. Staff were very nice though!
