Lovely staff and great venue.

Lovely staff and great venue. Enjoyed the meals although we didn’t enjoy the Kumar’s rosti. The pizzas and burgers were great as were the beer battered fries. They did start vacuuming while we were there (between 1-2pm) which was pretty noisy for that time but...we were finishing up by that time. Would definitely come back.More

Neat spot for lunch

Been here twice now and both times had an awesome experience. Really good service and the staff are actually happy to be at their job. Food served quickly and top notch quality. We had pizzas and a burger which were all delicious, we loved the...1/2 and 1/2 option too. Awesome spot too right next to the water. Keep it up guys, we’ll be back next time we’re in Tauranga!More

Poor service.

We go to the Phoenix a lot, but it is always hit and miss. Today was a MISS. We were seated, given drinks menus and we walked out half an hour later as nobody bothered to serve us. So we went to Clarence and got...fabulous service. That’s it from us PhoenixMore

Way to go Phoenix

Hey Phoenix! Looking at the numbers visiting your establishment and your media sites you are clearly one of the most popular places in Tauranga/Bay of Plenty. We own a bar up north and were recommended to you by friends we meet up with. You did...not disappoint from the ambience with drinks in the sun, friendly banter followed by great steaks all round. The challenge is not that you have made through years of changes but that you made through Covid, keep it up!More

Hit and Miss

I know Phoenix is capable of getting it right but it's never consistent. This last experience was a disappointment due to inattentive service, substandard meals and the inability to get a coffee at lunch time on a weekend because no one could fix the machine....It's never a cheap experience here and I will not bother again because it's as if they no longer care about delivering quality experiences for their customers.More

Hello Bevan B, In response to your comment on the coffee machine you imply we left a coffee machine broken for the weekend, NOT CORRECT. The coffee machine, the grinder to be specific failed on the Sunday morning shortly after opening. The coffee machine was...More

LOVE THE LAMB CUTLETS

I have eaten the lamb cutlets @ Phoenix for years and this way my meal yesterday. We have always had a good meal here and came two nights in a row on this visit as we are always treated as friends.

Underwhelmed and disappointed

My partner and I went out for a meal - something we don’t get to do often - and were left feeling underwhelmed and disappointed in The Phoenix. Service was slow, 30 mins for drinks to arrive. Food was average- lamb was overpriced and very...small (3 baby potatoes and tiny lamb portions not worth the price), the sweetcorn on the pork ribs wasn’t grilled or buttered and was stone cold. The cocktails when they finally did arrive were not very nice. Overall not worth the money.More

Amazing food and staff

A staff member approached me at the outside menu, after stating I was on the hunt for pork belly he recommended the Pork Bites on the starter menu, I am so glad that I was recommended them because they were to die for! The marinade...they were soaking in made me feel like I was in heaven! The staff at The Phoenix are friendly and approachable, the bar is outstanding with their displays. I would also recommend getting the Mocktails, their delicious.More
