"Went in here today with my friend and his girlfriend and had the most amazing time! Service was great, lots of good banter from our server and the best deal with taco Tuesday. Highly recommend for an easy chilled vibe."

"It’s our first time here and we came for their steak night. Absolutely amazing 250g Angus sirloin! What a great value and so delicious. Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. Kudos to the chef! And every server was so nice and attentive. I would definitely come back again."

"Citizen Park in Kingsland is a fantastic spot for a relaxed meal or catch-up. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a modern but comfortable vibe that works just as well for brunch as it does for dinner. The food is consistently excellent, fresh, well-thought-out dishes with generous portions and great flavours. The coffee is top-notch, and the drinks menu is equally impressive. What really stands out is the friendly, attentive service that makes you feel looked after without being overbearing. It’s also a great place to head before an event at Eden Park, with a convenient location and a lively pre-event buzz. A real local gem on New North Road and well worth a visit."

"We had the pleasure of visiting here during an extremely busy time in hospo during our Auckland visit. Brittany was exceptional. Our table was reserved, food was excellent, she was attentive to drinks making sure we had everything we needed. The venue was everything you see in the pics! Great location for pre drinks and dinner before any concert. Brittany, you made our night!"

"At Citizens Park for a work function and it has greatly improved since I was last there. Service excellent- particularly considering the large number of meals to coordinate for our group. Food wise we chose a lot from the menu. Popular dishes were the steak, burgers and brisket nachos. The chicken nachos weren’t as good. I chose the chicken tacos and they were delicious! Drinks wise a good variety including some special cocktail options."

The chicken pot pie was yummy, flaky pastry lid with creamy juicy thigh ir leg meat . Also has nachos, tasty as well. It's a nice casual pub near my work, ideal for work /business lunch"

"I attend quiz nights here on Tuesdays. The food servings are generous, and the service prompt and friendly. It's spacious, well heated in the cooler months, and cool in the summer. The music can be quite loud at times though."
