Yesterday I was looking at all of the Trip Advisor reviews for restaurants in Whitianga. I narrowed it down to three and then checked out their menus. When I open Squids Bar and Restaurant right there on the entree list (starters) were Mussels Kilpatrick. Now, I have had "Kilpatrick" in my name for more than 6 decades, but I had never eaten that dish--or even heard of it. I figured it was destiny, so we went there for dinner. We were not disappointed! Excellent food! I, of course, had to get the mussels for starter, my friend ordered fish tacos--and we are from Texas so we know fish tacos! They were very, very good. That was easily the farthest from Texas I have ever ventured into our beloved "Tex-Mex". The main course (that we split) was the sesame fish and it had a delightful ginger salad greens that came with it, both are tasty. Despite being completely full of diners we had excellent service. The staff was exceptionally friendly. I will return here, but not JUST for the Mussels! I recommend a booking on the weekends as there were several "walk-ins" who wanted to eat, but there was no more room!

This place was a real discovery. Inexpensive, fast service, friendly staff, tasty food, generous servings. We ordered food here three times in three days and enjoyed it on the beach in the picnic area. Awesome. They have a good veggie burger. Fried noodles with veggies are really good.

It was more expensive than the other 2 places we went to and the food was fine except for the chicken nuggets for our youngest. Ambiance near the window and the service was fine.
