The Elephant Wrestler

Great place! Went there for a bottomless, and the service was amazing! Great live band as well on that Saturday.

Chris served us great beers, never got empty and sorted the Ryder cup on TV.
Thanks mate, will be back

Had a great service experience last night at the Elephant Wrestler. Very friendly & welcoming staff front of house but special mention of our excellent young waiter, Sophia who was very helpful and friendly A+

Great food and awesome service! Chris made this experience much more than we expected being a Saturday in a bar restaurant. Would recommend other families to give this place a try.

Stunning food along with amazing staff bug shout out to Chris for being friendly and well mannered

This used to be one of Takapuna's icons. No longer.
We went for a steak and once we had ordered our drinks and committed to stay we were told steak was off the menu. Our friend ordered a gluten free chicken burger and once the rest of us had our meals delivered, she was told the chicken in the burger had crumbs and was not gluten free.
The food was below average, the disabled toilets were out of order and the men's toilets were very sub par as regards cleanliness and hygiene.
For the drinks menu, everything but the beer had prices on it. We did not know the draft Heineken was $13 a glass. Is it legal to not have prices on the beers so you can order to your budget?
Overall a horrible experience.will never go back.

Today I had lunch with my friends here. I choose to site outside table and the waitress asked me to pay first. If she treat every customer in the same way I will not complain for it.but she did not ask other customers to pay immediately after take order.
WHY?

Honestly Such a great atmosphere to be in. Grab a drink or have a feed you'll have nothing but a great time with your friends/family. Such great service from all the staff and the amazing vibes they give to you, this wonderful place is definitely a 5 out of 5 in my opinion

Overpriced liquor and a DJ that has no idea what he's doing. "Best experience ever", not.

Menu has changed. Unfortunately 'everything' we order has been removed. Pasta, curry, chicken cranberry pizza. All gone. And they were out of crispy chicken. Still great service.

This bottomless brunch is amazing! The food was amazing, the drinks are amazing. The environment was amazing. The live music was amazing! And suited the vibe really really well! The staff, super friendly, accommodating and relaxed! Had an overall amazing time and would recommend this bottomless to everyone!

Food: Average to below average bar food
Service: Average, no order taking at table
Vibe: Good, live music, chill
Conclusion: Good place for a drink, not for food.

Great customer service. Maddy gave us some amazing food recommendations (all were absolutely delicious!) and ensured that we had a great time. Will definitely be back again.

Was served by Maddy and Jess tonight on a busy happy hour night and they provided amazing service! I completely recommend this place especially for their happy hours.

Talia was very helpful, made my experience so much better! I’ll come back here BECAUSE of her! She deserves a pay rise because she makes this place so fun. Absolutely five starsss! See you soon elephant ️

Had bottomless brunch here about a month ago. The food was so amazing, fresh and delicious. Also the staff are so friendly and kind, helpful as ever. Restrooms are lovely and clean. Even better they have an outdoor area the sun shines through but you still get good air flow. Love this place, staff make it even better thank you for a great experience

Went on Thursday Night to takapuna branch. Ordered Iced Coffee and it tasted awful, like budget coffee with milk and barely any ice. Had the fried chicken and it tasted fine but, it was a very small portion for $19.50. I had the Magheritta Pizza, the base was undercooked and glugy. I don't think we will be going back. Waitress was nice though.

Good food! Cheers to our waitress Adele for keeping the beers flowing despite the place being very under staffed

Went today after 7ish to get a drink with my wife. This was our first time. Due to covid restrictions we were told it's we need to remain seated and one of the staff members will come and serve you. It was okish busy. We waited for over 10 mins but no one came to us. We saw staff members going past us but no one cared to ask us or take any order for drink. It felt like we are invisible:) Finally we decided to leave after 10-15 mins of waiting. Really disappointed with the service.

Only scored it 4 stars due to my age! Anyone younger would score it 5 stars. Service was awesome, food was awesome, drinks were awesome. Prices mid range. Music was too loud and deep base for any meaningful conversation, again, for my age.
