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.

Went here for husband’s birthday and tried the 6 course meal! The food was absolutely delicious, the ambience, decor and view was beautiful and the staff especially our Fijian waiter was top notch! We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to post us such a lovely review. Our 6-course is a showcase of some of our signature dishes and no-one leaves hungry. Happy Birthday to hubby. We hope to see you again, perhaps for another birthday

An absolutely first rate experience from start to finish. Relaxed feel; friendly and helpful staff; stunning food and wine and very reasonable for the quality on offer. If we lived in Auckland we would be “regulars”.

From the first phone contact wit Renee to the final sweet treat stolen from my husband's desert bowl, our lunch at Sails yesterday was wonderful. Outside, the families strolling the boardwalk and boat masts jingling provide a relaxed vibe, even in mid-winter. I've now dined here 3 times and all have exceeded my expectations.

What a magical place! The atmosphere is enchanting, with stunning harbor views that perfectly complement the fantastic food and exceptional service. We recently celebrated our child’s birthday here and were delighted by a complimentary birthday chocolate plate.
A heartfelt thank you to the Sail’s staff for their incredible kindness and making the occasion so special!
