Ship & Shore Marine - BOWSER

This is a great place with a view of the Dod seemingly it was an old boat factory converted into restaurant. The food was great as the service.

Great service tonight even with the wait. we could see their was only two servers tonight. the kitchen staff seemed the be waiting for tickets and could have helped the servers. either way the food was great, service was good and we were happy to...see the two girls split the patio and inside to make it equal. it is nice to see an establishment give the servers equal share. The food is worth the wait

This ice cream shop is located at Deep Bay Marina. It is a small establishment with an outdoor terrace and a few tables inside. They are pet-friendly on the terrace, which is spacious (we brought our border collie with us). The food is delicious (the calamari was excellent, as were all the other dishes)! The staff is extremely friendly, although they may seem a bit rushed at times. It is worth noting that the restaurant's hours can be a bit flexible. We arrived one day before closing time, only to find that they were closed even though their hours of operation indicated they should have been open. It seems this may be due to running out of food, so it's something to keep in mind if you plan to visit late in the day (as we did on our first attempt). The second time we visited, we had no issues and were there at noon. Overall, if you're looking for a delicious local meal, this is a fantastic spot! We will definitely return when we are back in the area.

Nice location and very friendly and helpful staff. Long wait, but we were not in a hurry, and they managed to serve our 10 meals simultaneously. A variety of dishes, and everyone was satisfied.

I still love this restaurant, especially the new patio area with its fantastic view. My wife and I shared the delicious fish and chips, which are still the best I've had on the north island. The crab cakes were also wonderful, and they make a decent tequila Caesar. The only downside is that you may have to be patient with the staff, from seating to ordering and receiving your food. The ladies working there are friendly but very busy. My advice is to get seated, have a drink, and just relax and enjoy the experience.
