Things to do in Silverdale
1. Adriana's Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 235 reviews
Reviewed By Rebecca B
What a total disappointment. We came to Adriana’s in search of some good Italian food and ended up with something extremely mediocre . My mother ordered lasagne and was not impressed it looked and tasted like a frozen supermarket meal. Both my fathers and my fettuccine was tasteless and needed loads of salt and cheese to give any taste. As well as awful food the Restaurant was way to hot, even with the air conditioning running. For what we paid you expect more.

Great place. Excellent food, real Italian style. We had the catch of the day with king prawn ravioli and the fennel with orange salad. SUPERB. Best meal we had in New Zealand during our holiday. Also the service was top! Do not miss this opportunity.Many thanks for your wonderful review. Our staff are the best!
3. Palate

Reviewed By Chris W - Hamilton, New Zealand
I chose Palate to celebrate my wedding anniversary. What a mistake. The service was absolutely shocking. The food was really good, tasty and well presented, however our waitress was unfriendly and could not have cared less about us. Her service was very clinical, cold and borderline rude!
My wife mentioned that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and she could not have cared less! When we asked whether we could change one thing we did not like for something else, she rudely told us that they don't do that. I had to insist that she ask the chef. We came away feeling utterly disappointed by the experience. We will never be back, it doesn't matter how good the food is!

My husband and I had lunch here. The tarakihi was in a lovely light batter and was so fresh. The chips were nice and crisp. A lovely crisp fresh salad accompanied it. The pot of Earl Grey Tea was also better than the usual. Staff...MoreHey Granny, thanks for your review much appreciated ,you can not beat a good feed of yummy fish and chips cheers Syd.

A busy award winning cafe in central Hamilton offering fresh seasonal food, exceptional coffee and catering
Reviewed By lian06
We visit Hamilton regularly, with our youngest at Waikato Uni. The River Kitchen is the best place for breakfast - get there early, because it fills up. Delicious food and coffee and a special mention of our waitress - also second year at Waikato Uni, studying Social Sciences - she does an excellent job. Cheers
7. Chim-choo-ree

Reviewed By nzfamilytron5 - Hamilton, New Zealand
There was lots to like but also some things that let it down.
The wee taster unfortunately was the first thing that hit the taste buds but also the first thing that went wrong. Not sure how a fried ball of potato is suppose to tantalise your taste buds?
But thank goodness for the entrees! All 4 were amazing! So much so I would come back in a heartbeat for drinks and entrees. Tuna tartare was the sublime!
Mains were good. Portion size was on point! None of this minimal plating business and the side of beans with kimichi butter - delicious. When I say good in regards to the mains they weren't outstanding. The fish was unfortunately overcooked as was the short rib. This was a little disappointing. Desserts were a mixed bag. The winner was the rice pudding mousse, the chocolate taco was rich and appreciated but the panacotta was sent back as very solid. Service was ok. Nothing exceptional but attentive. We enjoyed our meal, it just wasn't a 5 star on this occasion...

Turned up with a large group of work colleagues mid week and there was no booking for us.
This was due to a fault on our part not theirs, but even though they were fully booked for the evening, within 30 minutes they had accommodated us all at a large table.
I was far more impressed with the food this visit. Some very tasty and unusual dishes.
After my 1st visit I could easily not have gone back ( no real issue but I just didn't feel the wow factor ) , but now I will be returning for sure.

My husband, mother and I were looking for a day trip out of Auckland to unwind after the Christmas festivities. Zealong Tea Estate was perfect. It is only about 1hr 30 mins from North Shore, Auckland.
There are several interesting bronze sculptures along a tree trail that explains how tea is picked and processed that you can do for free. It was an easy walk for my mother of 81 years. We were booked at noon for their Signature High Tea. For $45.00 you get your choice of all you can drink Zealong tea, a tiered cake stand with gourmet sandwiches, gourmet savouries and dessert/sweets. Every morsel was a delight, complementing the lush green tea plantation in the background. One can't help but feel like nobility.
Zealong High Tea -- great way to unwind, and pass the time with good food, good company, along with good balcony views of the plantation.
