Woodside Bar Kitchen Functions 639 Great South Road, Manukau City Centre, Auckland 2104

"Their large plates are just that, large plates with stuff all on them for prices that indicate you should be getting much more. The food was actually nice when it arrived but tiny portions. Atmosphere was rubbish as the mediocre band was way to loud to hear anyone. The staff were inattentive and stuffed up the orders. Overall, very overpriced and poorly managed."

"A spectacular ambience with a flare of Pasifika flava...with music and food. Live music and great quick services. My Seafood chowder and pudding was spectacular!"

"My family and I booked a table for 5 and in the end added more. Woodside was very accomodating and we had to move areas but were very grateful. A lot of the table ordered the seafood chowder. It was fresh and all but coming from a very island/Māori family would have done it better (4/5). I had a steak and love it as dear as you can get and was very happy with it because most of the time restaurants over cook my steak but the chef did mine perfectly (5/5). The only photos I got were of our deserts and they were ok. It’s obvious that the chef is either islander or Samoan cause we got panikeke and vaisalo(faipula) can’t remember the actual word. But these were average in taste. I have been to Samoa and lived there for a little while and I can tell you a 2tala version of this is 99% better than the version on offer here. I understand it was a fancier version but it just didn’t do it for me. I love the idea but the execution needs more work. The menu is not really catered to kids so I wouldn’t recommend taking kids here if your kids are simple like mind was. Overall I would come here again but will go somewhere else for desert. Loved the live entertainment he was an awesome singer as well. Thank you for your customer service which was 5/5."

"Had drinks n food there at Happy hour. Shared big platters of chicken, spare ribs, savouries etc. Very filling. Very friendly, attentive, welcoming staff and Manager! Will go back there again! Thankyou Woodside Bar!"

"Had a birthday lunch . Food was good. Customer service was poor, we asked if the sky sports error could be removed and was told will sort it shortly. . After lunch was waiting at the table, waiting for the waitress to come see us to order dessert .However, after 25 minutes and empty plates/glasses, we gave up waiting. Error code wasn't removed..."
