Fantastic meal, service and atmosphere! Top 2 meals we had in our 33 days in Australia/New Zealand. Our charming Belgian server did a perfect job answering our questions and allowing us time to enjoy our meal. We even got to meet his beautiful girlfriend! Easy walking distance from Hilton. We were seated by the bar , right along the open window. Perfect! We each a pre dinner drink, an Angus eye fillet and we split the seasonal greens. Everything was prepared to nth degree of deliciousness .Nice wine menu. I wasn't sure based on some reviews but when I went back and looked at the negative reviews most are from people who really have not had many reviews. Seems like a competitor might be hoping to bash this restaurant. The big tank way for this is making online reservation. Otherwise you might be waiting 30 minutes to longer. And you're not going to get a great location. Post COVID it is better to make reservations.

I have been to Oyster & Chop several times for its terrific late afternoon oyster special - a great deal, but this was my first experience of dinner, and it was terrific. I was with two friends and we shared three types of cooked oysters, then each had the Scotch fillet, and shared a fresh, crisp salad and both types of fries. Everything was delicious. This is now one of my go to places when I travel to Auckland.

We had a reservation for dinner and we has been such a bad service. After 40 minutes somebody took our order for our drink. After 90 minutes we had no starter or any food at the table. This is so bad during the main dinner time they should be able to serve under 1 hr. All around us six tables was finish with the dinner but not cleaned up.
Not nice sitting next to them an see this. We decide never going there back again. There are so many very good restaurants all around.
We paid our drinks and cancelled our dinner. But we only heared we are so sorry!!
