i guess you really get what you pay for here. it wasn't anything great.. you have a time limit of 2 hours but you really don't need that much time as the foods not to a high enough standard that you'd want to be continuously eating for that entire period - so the foods extremely bland there's little/nil variety but then again it's good for a buffet. the wait staff are good, attentive, nice. i get the feeling skycity wanted an upmarket buffet restaurant at a reasonable price - i mean they do have a good foundation for a really niceplace- like the location, staff etc. but the foods definitely letting theplacedown. i'd go back but not in a hurry...

the worst meal ever. worth negative stars only, can't believe how bad it was. nothing was nice, there was hardly any food and it was all terrible.
the salads had few condiments and ingredients, the sushi looked old and stale.
i don't eat ham so there was no carvery and no meat for me. at all.
the roast potatoes were undercooked. the fish was all batter. the sauces tasted stale. the only edible item was soup.
there were very few deserts and no cheeses as they don't top the buffet up. i got a square of cut supermarket style lamination and that was it.
i went with a vegetarian and she paid $40 for a salad and crackers as there was nothing appropriate and nobody seemed to know what the stock used in the soups were.
in addition, the restaurant was overheated and very noisy.
we booked in advance a large party and they didn't even seat us together or push tables together. then they charged the full price, not just the deposit as two people cancelled. they were told of this in advance but 'didn't have a record.' so we paid $80 for two people who cancelled in advance.
they clearly don't ever expect repeat business so are happy to rip customers off and provide no service.
appalling - the worstplacei have ever been to in auckland.

have not been to a buffet for ages, last been valentines and group i was with wanted this.i'm not a big fan of buffets now bacause of covid where so many hands touch the tongs and should have gloves available.placejust have your usual ho hum kiwi dishes here from crackers, coffee/tea, to your boring ham on bone, salads and desserts nothing original or spectacular except the rates at $45 per diner where skycity is only more interested in making money for it's shareholders. probably be my last buffet for a while i guess.

so i went with a big appetite and started off with salads. loved them. moved on to mussels oyesters shrimp all good. but then the hot food was not great. there was a chicken curry and lamb not very good. champagne ham was good. but their desserts were very good. good variety and appealing to everyone. hot coffee tea also good. overall a goodplacefor someone who eats all sorts of meat. but my husband hardly has nothing other than chicken so no many options.

fortuna is a goodplaceif you just want a simple buffet with nothing special.. some staff are attentive, service is good.. considering the price this is an all rounder buffet which suits anyone with a small budget.. i wouldnt recommend thisplaceif you are planning on having a nice date or family dinner where you want to spoil the people for choice as there is very little over here, i would recommend you go to eight restaurant at cordis which is a bit more expensive but you have more options..

i’ve here for 3 times already. this is the most affordable yet elegantplaceto dine-in in the city. but you need to book ahead atleast 3days since thisplaceis always fully booked. one time i tried to walk-in but there was no vacant. they have huge variety of foods from seafood,veggies,meat,soup,asian food,european food,etc. if you are planning to celebrate your birthdays or any important celebrations, try to book this place. the negative side for this buffet restau, is the parking. the parking is so expensive. almost half of your total expenses goes to the parking fee.

had dinner with friends. my fav buffetplaceso far. many option of foods, all arranged very nicely and looks appetizing. clean environment, nice ambiance. will come back, definitely.

my favorite lunch buffetplacein auckland. come here a number of times. each time felt satisfied with their food and services. great value for money. lots of deserts to choose from. if you have sweet tooth as me, you will enjoy their lunch. drink price is very reasonable too.

niceplacefor a buffet dinner. clean and hygiene friendly. large variety of salads and breads to choose from. loved the food.. taste is ok... the desert parlour was so good. a lot to choose from.. a few of them just needs some more flavor.. goodplacefor the price!!

lovely destination, restaurant is located inside the skycity. it’s all you can eat. first impression- not enough selection. food tastes ok, unlimited soft drinks for 5 bucks. theplaceis just ok. dining experience is average.

fortuna is our go-to-place when we can’t think of any special resto to celebrate special occasions or when we have family and friends visiting us from overseas and we want to take them to somewhere impressive - and fortuna never disappoints us. both lunch and dinner buffet have a wide range of choices for entrees, mains, and dessert.

one thing that i am most impressed is the quality control and the menu is changing regularly; though that means that you’ll gonna miss out on your favourites next time around 😉. staff are very polite and professional, and theplaceis spacious even during busy times.

you need to reserve a table beforehand and be advised that there is a time limit of an hour and a half for dining (which is quite long enough unless you spend more time flicking your phone). the price range is also very reasonable.

fortuna is highly recommended!

i’ve been to fortuna many times for different occassions. the staff are always friendly and polite. the food is good, the space is clean and the seating area is layed out well. it’s a niceplaceto go if you want a variety of food. they are a family friendly restaurant which is great if you have children.

always love thisplaceespecially because they have a range of everything ! beats valentines any day hands down when it comes to buffet ! service is great and food is great !

generally, it is an acceptable buffet. it had a bit of everything, but does not have much variety. my favourites were the seafood and the desserts. it is mostly great for large gatherings or great number of guests. but, not a goodplaceto have a chat. there will be lots of noise and coming-&-going.
