Mercury Bay Estate Winery - Cooks Beach

I shared a platter and a few glasses of wine while enjoying an amazing view. The service was excellent, and I dined in for lunch. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 5 as well. There was plenty of parking available.

This place is a gem! The stylish building offers fantastic views, and the pizza is top-notch Italian quality. The service is excellent as well. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 stars!

Food was great, however service lacked. We had a booking and arrived at our booked time to be told the table wasn’t available yet. Instead of offering us a solution (maybe a tasting or another table) they left us standing awkwardly waiting for 15 mins. Another couple turned up after us for the same booking time and we’re seated immediately so it was just bizzare that we were left waiting. We could also see empty tables. We wouldn’t come back simply due to the service, they really didn’t seem to care or be very customer focused at all.

You have to stop here! If you don't have the time, make it! Delicious vine, amazing view AND THE BEST PIZZA I'VE EVER HAD! I guess not even Italy has pizza this good. They are probably crying to have lost such an amazing chef to NZ. The pizza had the perfect crispness but was also soft enough and the tomato sauce was perfect as well. The mozzarella di buffalo was creamy and made the pizza heavenly good. The people are so nice and the atmosphere is just cozy with amazing views. The perfect spot for having a perfect lunch. You're missing out if you don't visit this magnificent place.
