Mary's - Havelock North

Mary's is a must if you are visiting the Hawkes Bay. We had a group of 10 and the kids menu kept the little ones happy. Nice wine list and generous sized entrees are more like small plates. The fried chicken was a winner and the lamb croquettes also delicious. My husband enjoyed the burger it's a reasonably big meal. Would recommend booking as it's not a big place.

A very nice and fine dinning restaurant. One time visit though. Unfortunately it was busy on this particular Monday (school holidays maybe . But attentive servers. Unfortunately for a single person could not do their banquet which seemed nice. So had prawns as an entree and although just six but very tasty. (24$ highly recommended. For main had their beef fillet which was tasty but their charring had a Strong effect. Although I liked it but wouldn’t try it again. (44$ Also had rocket salad (9$ . This was ok For dessert had apple crumble cheese cake with vanilla ice cream. Which was also nice (14$ . And a flatty. Overall 96$ without any drinks. So certainly an expensive; one of thing or special occasions.

First time at this restaurant on a night out with my wife for first time in awhile. Loved the food, service was excellent and atmosphere great. Can always tell a popular place with many customers in the place. Only point to note was we were seated near the slide door to outside and at times felt the cold on us. Also be prepared to pay a premium for the experience. Surprised me a little then on reflection happy to pay that price. Would recommend to all. Bon appetite.

**** lovey food. The food scene in Hawkes bay is getting better and better. Mary’s is bangin’ great atmosphere, tasty wine and some great cocktails. The food is simple and executed perfectly. Got to be the best broccoli of your life when it’s better than the fried chicken.

I had dinner at Mary 's last night for the first time ... and it won 't be the last. The meal was amazing and so was the service. The quality: both flavours and presentation; of the food was second to none, and for the first time, in a long time, I did not have to send my 'blue ' steak back. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.
