About the Business
Welcome to The Curve Restaurant & Bar, located at Napier, Marine Parade, 45 in New Zealand. Our establishment is a bar, restaurant, and point of interest that offers exceptional food and drinks in a beautiful setting. Situated within the iconic Scenic Hotel Te Pania, our restaurant takes inspiration from the natural contours of the surrounding Hawke's Bay coastline and rolling hills.
At The Curve, we pride ourselves on using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that reflect the fresh flavors of New Zealand. Our menu showcases the best of winter produce, with three sensational dishes that are available as part of our regular dinner service.
For a flavorful and vegetarian option, try our Korean Style Battered Cauliflower. This dish features sweet and spicy glazed battered cauliflower, sesame seeds, spring onion, and pickled red cabbage. It is a perfect choice for those looking for a unique and tasty starter.
If you prefer a vegan and gluten-free main course, our Crispy Miso Tofu is a must-try. It consists of marinated tofu, brown rice & quinoa, grilled winter vegetables, beetroot hummus, and vegan chili mayonnaise. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to impress.
For a hearty and gluten-free main course, indulge in our Slow-cooked Smoked Venison Short Ribs. These tender venison short ribs are served with Parmesan polenta, charred broccolini, Barkers spiced plum sauce, and parsnip crisps. It is a dish that perfectly balances rich flavors and tender meat.
In addition to our main dishes, we also offer a variety of breakfast options. From a classic eggs benedict to a filling big breakfast, we have something to satisfy every appetite. You can also add flavorings such as vanilla, hazelnut, or caramel to enhance your breakfast experience.
For those looking for lighter options, we have a selection of appetizers, including White bean hummus with Telegraph olive oil and Mushroom pâté with pickled vegetables. These dishes are perfect for sharing or as a starter before your main course.
Our grilled plates are served with your choice of protein and sauce, and are garnished with local micro-greens. Whether you prefer fish, chicken, or steak, our grilled plates are cooked to perfection and accompanied by delicious sides.

"Had a beautiful meal here,food was really well presented and cooked to perfection. I dine out a lot and this was up there with the best. The service was great got lots of attention to get and orders and check to see if the meals were ok. And when we were leaving the matre dee asked us again if our meals were ok and said he would go and pass our comments onto the chef. Very impressed"
"We were looking forward to eating there. The online comments on TripAdvisor and Google motivated us. Seeing the pictures we really wanted to come and taste the food (especially the fish). When we arrived we had what seemed like a reduced menu (not the one we saw on the Internet) with only a couple of items to choose from. Not too far from what you can get in some hotels with the room service when the kitchen is closed. We had a piece of meat ordered rare which came closer to well done, and a chicken curry which was bland, the sauce was no better than what you find in a supermarket without any cooks work and reheated. The prices and experience were not at all aligned. I would expect to have this quality of food when going to an establishment that doesn't show any claim and certainly not for this price. The waiters were friendly and knew how to smile, this was a positive point, even though they seemed a bit lost and overwhelmed with only a few tables, they weren't proactive. I hope this helps as constructive criticism."
"Exceptional evening had at Curve the food delicious & beautifully presented and staff a true “Team” ; there to truly look after you. The Sous Chef even came out to thank us n chat over our compliments which was really lovely. We mingled with three other tables & they too were very impressed. Thku Daniel for the stunning Martini! So enlightening to see hospitality at its best!"
"A little slow, but the food is good, love the fish!"
"Surprisingly, I enjoyed my meal here. The Fish was cooked to perfection, as was the rib eye steak. My side of Mash was exquisite, I’m aiming to make all these myself. The best part was the desserts, my partner, who normally doesn’t eat desserts, raved about his Lemon Tart and loved my Tropical Verrine. The only disappointment was our waiter, he was lovely, but I think he forgot about us after entrees came out. What was nice to see was the chef coming out with any late dishes, apologising and getting back to his kitchen. We came back on our last day for Breakfast, although 5 minutes away from finishing serving breakfast, the staff seated us and the kitchen baked us cinnamon rolls, danishes and croissants- just amazing! I would definitely recommend eating here."
