Depot

Great food and atmosphere. It's not your typical eatery (it's quite small compared to other restaurants) but packed with food that's full of flavours. Always a bliss to dine here. Try their pork hock, lamb ribs and wedges. If you're here for some fresh seafood, go and have a look at their seafood bar. You're in luck if they have Te Kouma oysters in stock, they're amazing.

One of my new favorite places to have a meal and social drinks. The entrée was amazing, the steak.superb the house drinks.highly recommended. To top off a beautiful meal? The staff are very friendly I heard their breakfasts are good too. Looking forward to it.

I don't know her name. She is manager now! The manager's attitude was very rude and unpleasant. Depot is a good restaurant but I don't wanna go again because of the manager. Her attitude and service are disgusting.

This restaurant is super racist. My family were the first arrive and ordered but we got the meal last and the waitress don’t give a F on our request like change table. Took me three times to get someone take my order. I really don’t get how they got high rate on social media the food just average definitely not worth the money. 是中国人就不要来这家店 不信你可以试试什么叫对白人笑脸相迎 对你一脸瞧不起

Despite what it says on their website / online, they don’t actually let you get takeaway food.got rudely sent away when I asked about it. Their food is still really good though which is why they have 3 stars - they should really be consistent with their position on takeaways.

Quite popular venue, a venue for business meeting or casual visits. Friendly staffs. We are from AU, just walked in and still able to get seated. Amazed by the variety of the menu. Ordered Grilled sourdough flat bread; oyster and clams (very fresh) ; Kingfish sashimi, Pork hock (potato mesh on the side was also yummy).

Eaten here a few times but no photos to show for it: (The staff are personable with a sense of humour. Food is amazing! Some stand outs -
- Ox tongue: soft and tender, balanced perfectly by copious amounts of mustard goop (not sure what to call this accompaniment but I love its fluffy texture).
- Brisket: a sticky, melt-in-your-mouth delight. So good we ordered 2 plates in one sitting.
- Oysters are.well, oysters. And they serve raw tuatua clams - grisly, pleasant mouthfuls of the ocean.
- At one stage they had a slow cooked lamb dish - also delightful.
- Kingfish sashimi: chunks of fresh, soft pink flesh which worked well with the tart apple slivers.
Not sure how I feel about wine served in tumblers. I’m more of a wine in rounded glass girl, but I won’t hold this against Depot.

We felt uncomfortable spending our money here. Food was good but not as good as previous visits. We had the tuatua, pork hock, potato skins, fish sliders, steak, charcuterie, bone marrow, sugar pie and drinks. Bone marrow, potato skins and fish sliders were not as good as previous visits and the sugar pie was too sweet for our 16 year old. Tuautua and pork hock were great. What really put a damper on our visit was the behaviour of the Maître D. When we arrived she showed us our table so we went to sit down. Less than a minute later she snapped at us to move out to the road to wait for our table. As we got up from our seats she turned to another staff member and laughed about how bossy she is. She then spent the rest of the night asking every table around us if they were ok with a smile while looking down her nose at my family. Our table was covered by a waiter and waitress who were very attentive and kind but the uppity behaviour of the Maitre d left us feeling like we should have gone elsewhere. Very disappointing for a restaurant my family love to frequent.

Always consistently great!
Depot is our favourite restaurant in Auckland. Amazing fresh oysters; the pork hock is one of the best meals; potato skins hummmm
Guaranteed to satisfy

Good old Depot! Years pass but Depot only getting better! We were blown away today with hospitality level, food, drinks and atmosphere. Our waitress Alex deserves an Oscar for hospitality and the barmen who creates new cocktails too! Amazing thanks

First time and won't be the last. Had a visitor from overseas who enjoyed all the tastes of New Zealand

Absolutely fantastic dining experience. Food was incredible, staff were warm and friendly, service impeccable but one of the most memorable parts of the experience was having Mr Al Brown himself serving the diners and taking time out to say gidday and have chat. I even tried Oysters again after years and thinking they weren't for me but they were YUM! Thanks Al and team for an incredible night.

The clam is nicely cooked with freshly baked bread, but sauce was salty for my liking (FYI, I can eat salad wo dressing). Some bits of broccoli was too charred and tasted bitter. The pork hock is best, soft meat and crispy crackling.

Had lunch here today. Love the vibe. Friendly staff. The Russell oysters, fish sliders and the brisket were so delicious.
Also had the clams, the clams were yum but the coriander sauce needed a little something extra and the potato skins was ok.
Will definitely be back to try their other dishes.

Good food and good service. Shared plates so choose a few smaller to enjoy the diffirent dishes on offer.

We had a great experience. Sat at kitchen bar, was great to see how professional the kitchen was run. Great food is an understatement it was amazing. Thanks for the great night.

I like the part where the guy was pulling the bones out of the fish and burned his hand and we laughed and then he laughed and looked embarrassed. The food was excellent

Visited there three times already and always left with a big belly and a big smile on my face. Friendly staff and great service. I cannot say any no to re-visits. Fantastic experience, and I would like to give a ten-star to highly recommend your visit:)

Fantastic food and service. Always a treat.

Oysters, skirt steak + habanero mustard, kingfish sashimi - must haves every time!

Very tasty food here. Will definitely come back. The pork hock is big in potion, it has a very crispy skin and the meat is very tender, a must try for meat lovers. The bone marrow is something I’ve heard about for a long time, but first time to try it today. It matches so well with the toasted sourdough. The marrow has just the right amount saltiness in it. The fragments bursts in your mouth without the any greasy taste in it. Really enjoy the meal today.
