service was a shame. waited a little bit to be seated which was ok because its understandable to wait for a table. then when we were seated we weren’t served. tried to wave a couple of times to staff but they weren’t assigned to our table and couldn’t serve us as they said. completely understandable for them. after at least 45 minutes of nice chat and a nice view we decided to give up, so not much to base the review on. i understand why the line to dr rudis was a lot longer now...

i went there with my friends, ordered the fried chicken, and was good, the taste of the pork turned out as a bit of disappoinment. ordered couple of cocktails, and it was real good

got the woodfired steak, oyster muffin, pork crackling and bone marrow. enjoyed the muffins and crackling the most. oyster is nicely deep fried and tastes great combined with the muffin bread. pork cracking was full of flavours and you'll enjoy this if you don't mind the taste of msg. i'd only recommend the bone marrow if you actually like bone marrow or else it can just taste like eating pure fat. personally, i quite enjoyed it, especially the fact that you can spread it on the sourdough. least favourite would be the steak because of how it was cooked although the potatoes that come along with it were delicious. probably wasn't the chef's best work on the day. nonetheless, nice ambience with great views and overall tasty food.

the kiwi tacos were so delicious. the apple slaw went so well with the pork. super disappointed to see that they are no longer available. the fried chicken was tender but the taste was a tad heavy and the paprika was overpowering. also, wasn’t a huge fan of being seated in the dark corner spot and the stools were quite uncomfortable, but they were busy so it makes sense as we were a party of two people only.

the oyster mcmuffins are next level. the ribs are killer. even the fries are top notch. plus the service is great and the djs they have playing there aren’t too shabby either. nice selections.

i had some beaaaaaautiful ribs. delicious food, and even greater drinks. love this place. staff are also super lovely and friendly, and they do a great job.

craving for some seafood and want a good spot overlooking viaduct harbour? well this place is for you located just in the corner of quay and lower hobson streets, the spot where kermadec used to be. this laid-back eatery, brasserie and bar specialises in seafood but the offer other great dishes too. the minute you walk into this place you will be welcomed with a nice open bright space, especially during summers where the open the retractable roof. tuatuas and oysters will also be there to welcome you together with your table attendant.

saint alice is my fave rooftop bar. the interior, the location and the food are all beautiful. the oyster muffin and truffle fries are my favorites

the location is stunning. the food is average on the most part, it is geared towards being bar food which can be awkward during the daytime. it’s seasoned but simple food, chicken was a bit dry. i’ve ordered it twice with different company and one time it was a tad pink in the middle... i asked the wait staff to heat it up some more and another person who worked there, likely the manager, got very defensive. at most establishments, people would just admit the error or just agree to heat it... i’ve cooked chicken enough times to know if it’s cooked thank you. other than that every experience has been good, so i hope for the sake of others that person is no longer with saint alice.

first time visiting and would def visit again! the staff were super friendly, fast, and the food came out super quickly. had the prawn pizza, boneless thighs and calamari and they were all great! their sauces and dips for the thighs and calamari were probably their specialty.

a very wet afternoon i found my self at a loss on where to eat. many trips to the neighbouring dr rudis i have noticed the place but never ventured in.

stunning view of the viaduct even in the rain.

kingfish crudo was good not sure about the nuts in here.
fried chicken was ok a bit on the drier side but its a bigger portion and the accompanying sauce and lemon were a good touch.
kahawai toasts. winner! suprised to see this fish on the menu so i had to go for it. great dish great flavours

venue is great, and food quality was pretty on point. came here for my little cousins bday lunch, we ordered a lot, totalling around $400 but left the restaurant still hungry which was my disappointment here, i hate to compare but when looking at dr. rudi’s sharing plates vs. here. dr rudi wins by a mile. we had no left overs, everything we ordered, we demolished within seconds, we all wished we ate before we came because we were all pretty hungry and saving our stomachs for what we thought would be a big feed (especially with the amount we spent.)


however! fries were so good, the prawns were amazing very sad that the serving size was so small :(. the beef was so good aswell and also the green beans on the side, fried chicken was yummy and moist. i mean, overall the food quality was great! and cocktails were yummy! just was a let down that we left still hungry and ended up at oyster and chop afterwards, lol

the view from our seating of the outside viaduct area was amazing - especially with the sun! the food was also great. can't think of anything better to have asked for. will return!

lazy sunday and in need of a cocktail, saint alice you delivered. the food was even better. notable standouts were the pork and the steak. the gravy on the pork was so good that we ended up dipping everything into it. 10/10

went for my friends birthday and had so much fun!! we got the truffle friends a salad and the small sharing chicken and everything was great. to top it all of the service we had was amazing!! the man serving was so nice and helped us get our drinks (the dodo is so good) overall it was a great experience and i’d definitely come back again
