sails restaurant

lunch today at sails proved a most enjoyable experience. and one of the better ones in recent months.

starting with the sourdough rolls, well made bread has been with us for several millennium and the joy of fresh bread is one of life's simple pleasures. followed by plump oysters, then onto the salmon with scallop ravioli, asparagus and a deliciously flavorsome broth. finally the chocolate delice with a coffee parfait, this excellent dessert alone was worth going to sails. the kitchen is working well at sails. highly recommended.

if you're looking for quality seafood, this is the place to go. bart littlejohn, the owner and host, does a great job of keeping service top-notch. very expensive and portion size is a bit lean, but you can expect that at this sort of establishment. this is the place to go if you want to impress. one of auckland's better establishments.

sails has an enviable site and its always a pleasure to go there. i think the food was better last year but its fine but not top class.
always plenty and the fish is good.
provided you are close to the windows it's good venue but further back i would not be so sure
however saying that we will try it again next year

good meal here at the weekend. nothing bad to say, but failed to excite my party.
good but not great.

sails is one of our favourite restaurant we have been going there for years and its one of those places where, people, service, food is always consistent you defiantly know that you will get great fresh food and professional service.
i wish there were more places like sails :)

went to sails for the first time last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. read some nice reviews so it was a must visit restaurant on our list. as we entered the beauty of the large chandelier caught our eye. it looked so beautiful, the mirrors, views not to be missed. it was a little noisy just past the reception, due to the lounge next to the dining area. but we were greeted and introduced by a fine gentleman who had a great smile. he showed us to our table which was on the other end of the room, pulled the chair for my wife and placed the napkins on our lap. great service. the view from our table was magnificent. recommend seating toward the far end near the large mirrors. nice quite and intimate. i ordered whitebait for entrée and grilled prawns for my wife, these were delicious, loved the prawns…for mains we had pan fried hapuka and snapper with snow crab..these were very mouth watering, well cooked and garnished to detail. there was a little delay in getting our meal as the place was a little busy even during a week day so bookings recommended. i wouldn’t say the meal sizes were large and filling, but good enough and we were full at the end of our meal. the staffs were being very friendly and attentive to see if all was going well through out the night. the prices, well it wasn’t that bad if you have been out fine dining, a little expensive but well worth it. with a bottle of white wine, bread, 2 x entrée and 2 x meals we paid around $180.00. will surely go back again.
