Aria Restaurant Bar - Auckland

Had the breakfast buffet after our stay in the city to see the cabaret, There was so much choice at the buffet and I asked for an original omelet that was a cheese and tomatoes I received in no time. The hash browns were a bit hard, it seemed like the old batch had not been deleted before the new batch, but that was the only drawback. Great start to the day. Had two meals in the restaurant (was left in the hotel). Can highly recommend the Venison. Sensational. The waiting staff is amazing in this hotel. Nothing too much trouble for them.

Nice food and friendly staff, cheap smiles and greetings still give you space for your privacy and tranquility while you enjoy food. I have been roaring around for dinner since 11:00 in the afternoon and enjoying a little dish that is still enjoyable if you have happened to me the same, you probably want to choose fish pàte. Cripsbread with the smoke and acid cream are just legend! Salad is kind of normal until you get the bite of sweet grape mix with them. It is clear sky and plus you can make room for dessert after this delicious meal. I chose chocolate plate, macaron and raisin cake was somehow slow, but wait until you get a spoon of the remaining 2 bites (which I forgot what their name was, they placed at the end left and right of the plate) Ohh ofcourse rose lover as I definitely satisfied with house wine The Ned, recommended by the waiter, not too dry but still tasteful of berries and cinnamon. I recommend this restaurant for your culinary stopover.

10/10 breakfast. like eating food from an old barbie movie. very nice staff and calm atmosphere. only thing to be improved is please have something to stir the jugs of dairy free milks because the stuff sinks to the bottom and you end up with watery milk.

This is the Crowne Plaza’s restaurant. Dinner- The food and service are okay. The only complaint I would have is the Hapuka fish $34] was much too salty. There is salt on the table, people can always add it, but you can’t take it out so restaurants should be careful not to overdo it. The roast vegetables $9] were very good- I recommend them. The carrot and cauliflower soup of the day $18] served with sourdough bread and the farro salad $19.50] were fine. There are plenty of wine choices with a glass $12 and up. If you are an IHG member they take 10% off the bill. The breakfast buffet there is excellent with many choices. There is an omelet station, cappuccinos and other coffees, a wide selection of teas including many loose ones and tea pots, lots of fruit choices, cereals, various nuts, lots of pastries, muffins and good banana bread, good breads including tasty whole grain ones, low fat and soy milk, a juicer/smoothie machine with vegetables, ginger, etc. to use in it. One morning there was salad, smoked salmon and curried vegetables but not the other day.

I am quite surprised that the restaurant has such high rating. The service is good but the food is just average. I ordered my t-back medium rare it turned out to be medium well. The texture was poor. I don’t think the quality of beef was good enough and the chef did not know magic.
