What a fantastic restaurant, 3 courses, all stunning, great wait staff (an Irish chap) and a stunning location on the viaduct, expensive but worth every penny.

Only negative was the somewhat aggressive lady on the front desk who couldn't find our booking so basically turned us away. I went through my emails and found a confirmed booking and suddenly a table for two was found......

To be fair, this rating for Oyster and Chop has a great deal to do with the loud, obnoxious, foul-mouthed group of men sitting at the table next to us. (Even the one woman with the group was mortified) The restaurant was not full and the staff could have put the group of five a little apart from the other diners. However, we basically stopped talking because we could not hear one another. The food was very good, but the service was slow. That would have been fine if we could have enjoyed ourselves. We ordered oysters, the fish of the day (excellent-red snapper), steak (excellent but very large!), and salmon with an unusal preparation with beets which was lovely and well done.

Book lunch at the last minute, best meal we had in Auckland. Scallops n oysters delicious, fish of the day outstanding and shared the petit fours plate.
Service excellent, our Argentinian waitress a delight and knowledgeable ,
Don’t miss out!

Never disappointed when it comes to oyster and chop. Had the most amazing bluff oysters and lamb 10/10 . The staff are always so accommodating and great sense of humor

Oyster & Chop restaurant is a must-visit! The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is delicious, and the service is top-notch. From fresh oysters to perfectly cooked steaks, every dish is a treat. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual dinner, you won't be disappointed.
