NEO

Great menu selection with delicious food. We had a yummy brunch with meatballs, sourdough and pancakes for dessert. Service was amazing too

Chic restaurant/bar with a balcony area overlooking Queen St. Great atmosphere and the food was beautifully presented, however the price is on the steeper side around $35-40 for mains and the waitress we had was a little clueless. We came here for a team lunch and I had the daily special fish & chips + house drink for $25 which was very good value but the fish was slightly bland. Overall nice place to come, I would probably come back for drinks in the summer to take advantage of the balcony but probably wouldn't be coming again for lunch. Ambience 5/5 Service 3/5 Taste 3/5 Value 3/5

In short, the best restaurant in Auckland. My boyfriend and I have visited hundreds of restaurants in NZ in the last 2 years and we agree that our favorite is NEO. For the quality of the food, which is excellent, an explosion of flavors in the mouth. For the price, it's worth it, and even I would pay more for it. For the service, which is first class, the owner and the employees usually ask you how each dish was. What I don't understand is why this restaurant is not always full. Maybe the hours, maybe the location.

Great service! The deck is amazing. Unfortunately some of the dishes have room for improvement. Calamari over seasoned and parts were really dry, very salty. The veal was premade which was fine but tiny baby size pieces and extremely bland. The main and shared foods all have bread, which is not a good sign for a restaurant, only cafes should be adding bread to fill people up. Everything else makes up for it. Service: 5/5 Environment: 5/5 Presentation: 3/5 Food Quality: 3/5 Food Quantity: 5/5 Price per person: $30-$50

I went to Neo for the first time with my family this week when visiting Auckland City. Not only was the service at an excellent standard but the food was amazing. We went for brunch and the food was displayed so beautifully. The eggs cooked to perfection. It was great that you could sit outside and watch all that is happening down Queen Street from up on the balcony or you could sit inside in the beautifully decorated surroundings. I would highly recommend this place for a meal.

The finest coffee on Queen Street, Auckland CBD!! Discovered this place for coffee approx a year ago and surprised by really good coffee they serve. The restaurant situates on the level 1 of arcade, facing out to Queen Street. Balcony seats look out 180 degree from Queen Street through to Auckland wharf. Dedicated chefs and great staffs. Deliciously great selection menu. Worth every second of joy every time we visit.

Location is pretty good though it's a little harder to reach and less visible, might be why there weren't many customers. The service was decent as well without anything to really criticize. The food was great, fairly original and tasty, but the portions are tiny. Pricing is on the higher end and the food presentation was great to get the feeling of fine dining but I walked away feeling hungry. Probably wouldn't go again, I think I'd need to spend at least $50 to get a full lunch from there.

Came in for lunch with my work colleague and we've been wow'd by the nicely decorated internal setting which is quite classy. The waiter has been friendly to us and we sat outside in the balcony area with a view of Queen St and the surrounding towers. We ordered the Wagyu Meatballs and Fish & Chips. Both meals are delicious and nicely presented as you can see from the photos below. The portions are a little small but that's probably because we unlocked our ZG discount, so fair enough... hope to come back to try out their other dishes in the future.

The environment and the service is good. It was cloudy day. I wore a skirt felt a little cold. The clerk brought me a blanket and warm water. It's a good dining experience, but what I ordered is not delicious.

Overpriced desserts, but meals seem to be more sizeable. Overpriced, but to be expected as it's Auckland with great views balcony overlooking Dior and some designer shops, Queen Street. Service was amazing, water constantly refilled.
