Hands down the best restaurant in Auckland. Freshest seafood and every meal melts in your mouth. Highly recommend xx

As always, Sails lived up to its well deserved reputation for excellence in every aspect of its operation.
The comfortably welcoming friendliness of the floor staff compliments the excellent food and service of this icon of the Auckland hospitality scene. A must visit if you're expecting the best.

Booked in plenty of time to guarantee a seat as I knew it to be popular. On day the place was full, greeted with a smile and quickly welcomed and shown our table. In no time menu explained and drinks order, told not to hurry with order which gave us time to take in the atmosphere, wonderful views over Westhaven and Harbour Bridge just amazing. Food arrived, superb.

Great food and location. Easy parking. Very good service, special thanks to Renee for going out of her way to make the experience so good.

Visiting family in Auckland and celebrating husband’s birthday over a long weekend I wanted to take him somewhere special and this restaurant had so many positive reviews I thought we should give it a try.
Our table for 2 was hard up against a window with a lovely view of the boat filled harbour, but next to a large and noisy table. Requesting to be moved was not an issue and this was done swiftly and without fuss.
We started with 6 delicious oysters, followed by pan fried scallops with pancetta on a bed of cauliflower purée, and the prawn entree in a rich nduja sauce. We then both had half a crayfish each, one mornay and one with hollandaise sauce on the side. Fantastic, cooked perfectly, fresh and flavoursome. We had confit carrots with labne to accompany the crayfish, again absolutely delicious.
Ok so my view on this restaurant…when I first arrived I had some misgivings, I thought I’d walked into a cruise ship catering to loud baby boomers, being a boomer myself this isn’t a criticism, merely an observation. The tablecloths could have done with a press and they should consider laminating the menus which looked as though they’d been rough handled over time, just fixing these two would immediately elevate the overall experience and be worthy of this business.
Clearly this place has a great loyal following and it deserves it, the food is fantastic, the staff attentive and enthusiastic and the value for money unsurpassed…coupled with an outstanding location this makes it a winner. Just needs a little tidy up but really, I’m saying this more for them than my being picky…we will be back and I totally recommend it!
