Description: Sails Restaurant has an amazing location. Set in the middle of Westhaven Marina, beside the Harbour Bridge, with breathtaking views of the harbour. There are few views in the world that capture the essence of the city than the one from Sails Restaurant. A couple of minutes from the centre of Auckland, yet in a world of its own, with unlimited free parking at the door, Sails Restaurant is not just about its location. Over the last three decades the restaurant has forged its reputation as one of New Zealand’s top restaurants through an uncompromising belief in using only the freshest ingredients, the most talented chefs, and professional waiting staff. The menu at Sails is seafood focused, but also includes New Zealand’s finest beef and lamb. The full menu and all the details can be found on our website.

An 86 year old with memories of large crayfish eaten around the world had his memories rekindled in the lovely setting. We had a wonderful outing dressing up and living like kings. Great service and a Happy Birthday dessert rounded off a great lunchtime visit.

We have been here a number of times over the years and every time Sails have delivered fantastic food, experienced and attentive service and a great atmosphere. To do this consistently over decades is truly remarkable. Not the cheapest place around but you never regret paying for this level of quality

It was a lovely night at Sails - awesome way to celebrate a birthday! We were seated by the window too and had a great view of the Marina. Booking a table was a breeze through Google, intimate environment, friendly service, good drinks, and the food was just amazing. Definitely coming back soon!

Sails is our "go to" restaurant in Auckland for personal and business dinners. Location coupled with easy free parking is the first draw card. The rest is in the people, atmosphere and last BUT not least, the fabulous food and wine. Its hard to find this perfect combination in the "madhouse" we call Auckland.
