Stopped off for 'coffee and a cake' after walk. Coffees fine. Cakes took way too long, had to go up and ask for them, got offered free coffees which never arrived. Lots of staff standing behind bar talking rather than working. Told the manager of our experience on the way out and he was rude and argumentative. Loud music also... More

Went on a Tuesday night with a mate, and found it was $10 Thai Tuesday. Good range of starters for only $6.50 each, or a combination of 4 on a platter for only $20. Then a choice of Thai mains for only $10 each. To be honest I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of the starters... More

I have frequented this establishment since its establishment. Ever since the new owners have taken over the place has gone backwards. They have no appreciation for their loyal customers and the new management are invisible to the people that keep the place going. The VIP program is now a joke and means absolutely nothing. Most of the staff have a... More

$15 a head on a Wednesday for pizza is a deal not to be missed. A good range of pizzas including two desert pizzas which vet delicious. Fantastic staff and a great environment to enjoy a family meal/ pizza eating competition!!

After a lovely afternoon at Tahunanui Beach, we needed to eat! The fried fish and libations were just the tonic. The kids enjoyed the ice cream parlor next door. Our server was attentive and we paid at the bar.

Visited 623 on the Rocks early on a Tuesday evening & tried their Thai menu. Entrees were good value but limited number of mains. Pleasant busy atmosphere, good service by friendly staff. Better to go to a Thai restaurant if you want a full Thai menu....

Good lunch, good menu choices and prices. We sat at one of the higher tables with stools, and it was very awkward for ladies to sit on the stools and try to maintain an air of elegance. Was not easy to pull stools close enough to the table to eat easily.
