16th February 2012 After a while of wanting to dine here we finally booked a table for Valentines Day.
Lucky that I did book, as the restaurant ended up fully booked (always a good sign).
Both my partner and I were delighted with our experience.
The $35 meal deal was fantastic value and the serving sizes were just right.
The food was perfectly cooked, the dessert (pear creme brulee) was creamy and sweet and the waitresses were very attentive throughout the night.
Will definitely return again - quite keen to try the pizza and pasta dishes!
20th October 2012 I just went to Patio Takapuna for the first time and it was great. 7 of us booked and went on Saturday for lunch. We were all happy with what we ordered- burgers, BLATs, pasta.... my hearty spaghetti was fantastic and I really enjoyed. Plus it has a great atmosphere, the floor manager was really nice, and they played great music too. Perfect for relaxing and catching up with friends. I think it was fantastic food for lunch, and reasonably priced. And on top of that, when I went to pay, I found out that because of their lunch specials, my spaghetti was even cheaper than it was on the menu!! Unbelievable!! I highly recommend you give it a try and I would definitely go back there again.

23rd May 2012 We absolutely love going to Patio. We discovered the little gem on here and gave it a go. They have a fabulous deal on where you can have three courses with a glass of wine for $35. The quality of the food is superb and they dont skimp on variety either, it is important to note that they dont give you the crap wine either- it's a top notch experience from start to finish I promise. Very nice atmosphere inside the restaurant and the staff are delightful! We try to go at every available opportunity these days.

16th February 2012 Very good value for money, $35 for starter (choice of 4), any main, dessert (choice of 8) and house wine all included in the price. So for european style food, steaks, pasta, pizza & seafood it's almost too cheap. It was a really enjoyable cheap eat (and the servings were just right. We ordered garlic bread (crusty but nice) lamb shanks (a little bland but generous) and a scotch fillet steak topped with a triple cheese crust and mashed potato. I will point out the the steak meals aren't fancy and do take shortcuts. The steak was cooked as ordered although charcoal on the outside, it had some sort of herb breadcrumb on top, then ricotta and a little cheese. Not bad. I chose the mushroom sauce and it was just mushrooms in like a maggi packet gravy. Stick to the cheap house red, very nice to wash it all down. The desserts were good, probably too much to select from, although the ice cream was served in a tumbler (short glass) I had bannoffie pie and the pie itself was good but too many flavors going on with espresso, banana, a vanilla creme and a berry coulis. One thing I learnt from the menu is that everything sounds delightful and each aspect of the meal is described, but when it arrives, the flavors are minimal or cheaper substitutions to save cost (as to be expected really). The waitress were attentive although we were ignored when we walked in. They served the entree at the same time as the main. Considering what we ordered the mains came out way to quickly which did concern me. Our expectations were met and our hunger for cheap meal was satisfied. I'd be keen to go back and try something else, maybe find a favorite dish when looking for that quick cheap and easy meal out.

11th October 2011 This is the most amazing restaurant in Takapuna! It may not look like it from afar, but if you just give it a chance you will see that the service is impecible and the food is beautiful! The owner now knows my friends and I and he is always so happy to see us! The staff are really caring and over all it is just super great to dine there! Please go check it out! You will not regret it! At the moment they have a $35 special for a three course meal and wine! If thats not value I don't know what is!

19th September 2011 Absolutely brilliant, took my (now) girlfriend for our first date there and enjoyed a delicious entree, beautifully prepared and tasty meal and dessert (blueberry cheesecake) that was exquisite, all for a very reasonable price.
Good quiet atmosphere, substantial seating, friendly staff.
Recommend to anyone.

20th September 2010 Been here a few times now. The steak options I've had were all beautiful, veggies they came with were nice, and they had a special buy a main over $25 get a free dessert. Banoffee Pie was fab. Nice atmosphere, I thought it should have been busier.
