Excellent starters -seafood chowder was amazing and so was the mango salad. The lamb shank main was ok. I have had heaps better. The 10 spice chicken melted in the mouth. Great 1920s setup. Even the loo is made of copper. Awesome setup.

Food, wine and service are great. High tea is great too with nice pastries and a good selection of teas. The mix of decoration, music and light make the atmosphere so special and the place so unic in Auckland.

We visited Nostalgia for high tea. What can i say everything was hand made.Yes you can taste the difference. WOW what an experience, from the menu of teas, to the home made bread. Even the wine was well chosen and sensibly priced well done.

A bit late, but happy to take a moment to recommend this one. Took wife there on Valentine's night. Booked well in advance. MD phoned me few days later to say limited menu only as fully booked that night. Slightly annoyed as not told when booking. Very impressed by look and feel of the place on arrival. Amazing retro decor,... More

We ate here en famille on our visit to Auckland with extended family. Being new year it was a set menu but it catered for all tastes and the food was excellent. The biggest plus tho was the surroundings! England in the 20's was the best way to describe it with wonderful decor, old displays of clothing and fabulous hats... More

We took three guests to Nostalgia for High Tea on a Sunday afternoon. Wow, what an experience. Fantastic decor, fantastic service, fantastic food - a real treat. And excellent value for moneyat the same time. If you want to give someone special a really nice treat, we can recommend this. Like something from a bygone era. Fantastic.

Best steak that Grant has ever had. Great attention to detail with decor and presentation. Best starter is the smoked beetroot. We'll be back!

Saturday afternoon high tea - one of the best in Auckland. Yummy ciabatta open sandwiches, scones and mini desserts. Good at catering to individual requirements. Setting was very 1920s, gave a classy setting for the whole afternoon. Went on a 2-for-1 voucher but would happily pay full price.

This restaurant is beautiful. The styling is impeccable which creates a beautiful environment for a romantic dinner. The staff were wonderful. I couldn't fault them if I tried. Friendly and attentive. It is rare for me to really struggle on what to order. In this instance there were so many delicious sounding dishes, I really struggled to decide what to... More
