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.

Our 1st time here, it was excellent & we would definitely recommend it to everyone, the only negitive would be for people with mobility issues as you have to go up 2 flights of stairs.

Thank you for your lovely review.
Yes, unfortunately, there is no elevator and mobility access is difficult. We have made enquiries about installing an elevator bur we have been told this is not a possibility, so we are stuck with the stairs as the only access. We are always happy to assist wherever possible.

The restaurant and service by the staff was first class.Restaurant easy to find from the motorway, and the amenities excellent- particularly liked the fresh towels in the bathrooms ,a touch of class..
Really enjoyed the food and the way it was served, together with the experienced suggestions as to wine matches.
And the view of the marina- great way to have lunch.

We tried their oysters as starter and snapper as main. Both were excellent quality and delicious. The sauce for the pan-fried snapper was surprisingly good either.
