"Lovely place, dim lighting, and amazing drinks. Just sad that they removed the “Lost in Translation” drink from their menu as it was one tasting extraordinary! Strongly recommend visiting."
"The pizzas were great and the deserts were fantastic. It’s definitely not your usual bar food. A good wine list and beer selection and some pretty decent cocktails. A really great addition to Ponsonby Road"
"The Broken Lantern truly exceeded all of our expectations! The lounge-style atmosphere of this restaurant and bar creates a relaxed and comfortable vibe that is perfect for a night out. Their liquor collection is extensive with an impressive range of gin, rum, and top-shelf whiskies. The cocktails were exceptional, and the bartender even crafted a delicious off-menu drink for me. But the real star of the show was the food. The menu offers a wide variety of shareable appetizers and main dishes, all of which were fantastic. I highly recommend trying the Ceviche, Steak, and Buttermilk Fried Chicken. The portion sizes were generous, and the potatoes that accompanied the steak were simply divine! To top it off, the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their impressive liquor selection. Overall, my partner and I had an amazing experience and would definitely go back again!"
"Such a nice bar, put a lot of efforts on Christmas decoration and have lot so different cocktails. If you love cocktails, this is the bar that you can’t miss."
"Quiet afternoon visiting Ponsonby. Friendly staff, old school lounge atmosphere, great music. Well made old fashioned with Makers Mark 46. The brussel sprouts were excellent, great presentation, wonderful fusion of flavor. Caramelized brussel sprouts, curry cream sauce and fried leeks. The right amount of flavor and spice.... Who thought of this?! The pork belly by itself was not prepared properly. Needs more flavor and the outer layer should be a bit crispy. But together with the browned onion cream and rodkal its a tasty dish. Thanks for a nice afternoon while visiting Auckland!"
