"Onslow - absolutely stunning. From the ambiance, to the service and the food; incredible dining experience. Thank you so much for the thoughtful touches for my 30th, and a special thank you to the knowledgeable staff on the menu (gluten free options) and the wine recommendations. The Lebanon red wine was exquisite. The best night spent here, and we will be back!"
"Tucked into a corner of an elegant old building, inside Onslow exudes modern sophistication. The room is quiet enough for conversation. The service was attentive, and the food was both creative and delicious - not always true in combination. I started with one of several gin and tonic pairings - a great selection. The crayfish eclair (one) lived up to its billing, a clever riff on a lobster roll. The salmon trolley sliced off three strips tableside with tasty accompaniments. Together they might make a light dinner. Instead of a main, I had the three sides - all good but better shared. The chocolate soufflé was excellent, and the hot buttered rum trolley was a sweet indulgence. I ate too much, and the tab was quite high, but it was a memorable fine dining experience."
"Overall great service and delicious food. The establishment feels upscale and luxurious, and provides a fine dining atmosphere even at lunch. Minor complaints: The “tuna carpaccio” was not carpaccio, more like medium rare and grey on the outside, but still tasted good. The “simple green salad” was truly rather simple, and I wouldn’t recommend it. Everything else was delicious and interesting and well presented. The starter “treats” especially are creative and delectable."
"One of my favorites fine dining restaurant in Auckland. We have been here for a few times for the last couple of years. Both service and good are good. Their menu didn't change very often. I love their treats selection."
"Went to onslow for the Sunday lunch - set menu with a few adjustments as my wife is pregnant. This was no trouble at all and the lovely wait staff knew everything which was safe to eat and should be avoided. The entrees were a real highlight, the fried bread and chicken liver parfait was absolutely delicious. Great food, great service, nice drinks, we will be back. Excellent value as well 4 courses for $85 per person, we were very full at the end."
