Long Bay Surf Club

This is a super cool place for a drink and a meal.nnMy family and I dined here on a Sunday evening in mid March. We sat outdoors, and with a light breeze blowing and some mild heat lingering from the day's sun, it was pleasant and comfy.nnService was quite fast, despite my trepidation when I arrived, after taking a look at the casually attired young staff members. Our table waiter looked like a school kid, but he turned out to be efficient and polite. The drinks took 15 minutes to arrive, but I was surprised that the food followed shortly thereafter, in fact before we had finished our drinks.nnI ordered the beef nachos, and what a generous serving it was, with lashings of tender, sliced beef, a bit stringy but flavoursome and accompanied by all manner of nachos-style goodies like smashed avocado, sour cream, beans and of course the main thing that gives this dish it’s real punch, the crispy fried tortilla chips.nnEveryone in our group enjoyed their meals. We paid 140 pesos for three adult meals, one kids meal, two beers and a cold drink. Being a visitor to N.Z., that didn’t strike me as being overly pricey, especially given the high quality of the meals, nice ambience and the fast and efficient service.nnThere are ample toilets at the back of the venue although by 7.30pm they were dirty and in need of a clean up.nnParking doesn’t seem to be too much of a problem in any of the nearby side streets, although we were lucky to find a spot right outside.nnThis is a busy joint I believe on a weekend, so it’s probably worth reserving a table, as we did. It was about ¾ full, and the atmosphere was quite lively and energetic, but also casual, laid back and relaxed. Perfect for a night out with my N.Z. fam.

Great spot for food in the north facing sun.nStaff are friendly and delivered food with a smile. Nature encapsulated ambiance. Hard place to fault

COOL AWSOME place. You can get that vibe as soon as you spot a place that you have earned your drink & this was a fine drink, I haven't had a good dark brew on a cold day in a warm cosy venue. Thank you..

The beef burger was one of the best I've had in a while - delicious soft brioche bun, juicy beef patty, and sweet tomato relish and atmosphere was fantastic. Will be returning!

Great vibe, great location and eatery. Service was pretty slow at the start. Took ages for us to order as staff never came to take our order.nnThe food was delicious. Had the snapper boat, was still a bit hungry after but enjoyed it anyway.nnPrice wise, your pretty average Auckland prices... $34 ish for a dish that feeds you not you aren't stuffed but good quality.
