Little Jimmy Bar & Eatery

A wonderful little restaurant with great ambience. Food is presented artistically with superb flavour. My chicken schnitzel was great. Perfectly cooked. Pleasant waiting staff who were efficient. Thanks to First Table we enjoyed a lovely meal at a reasonable cost.

Wonderful staff, great food. Thanks Little Jimmy, you never disappoint.

Nice food and service!

Great food and service was awesome... will be back again

What a lovely place for a meal, the staff were very helpful and everything ran like clockwork. The menu had some great dishes. Would definitely go back!

great food

Fantastic experience. The food was delicious and we had a lovely waitress.It was the perfect way to celebrate a 50th birthday as a family!

Superb service, very friendly and attentive.
A lot of different food options, and many are great to share. Between 4 of us we shared 4 mains, 1 small plate and 2 sides which was plenty! The wagyu beef or pork belly is a requirement on the table and the curly fried are very tasty.
The only negative, which is very minor, was the sparkling water for the table tasted flat.

Great to enjoy good food and try a new place. We would return.

Great atmosphere, excellent service and tasty food - an all round good experience!

We had a great experience at Little Jimmy, food was delicious (our toddler couldn’t stop eating) and service was very friendly and attentive.

Enjoy

Wonderful service and food

Second time we’ve been there, every bit as good as the first, looking forward to the third time!

Once again the great Little Jimmys didnt dissappoint. Fantastic service, decided on The Chefs choice and got to sample lots off the menu. Fantastic. Had a great night. Thanks

Thanks to the team at Little Jimmy's, awesome food, atmosphere and service.
I absolutely recommend a visit and we will go back next time we're in Auckland.

Delicious fresh food, amazing flavour combinations, love the fact that all the ingredients are sourced locally.

Great food and atmosphere, the only thing to note is that for three of us (2 adults and a toddler) ordering 1 entree, 2 mains and a kids pizza we were highly recommended to get 2 side dishes, we ended up ordering 1 and felt like we really didn’t need it when the food arrived as both mains came with a decent amount of sides. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back :)

Great early dinner for our daughters birthday. Wait staff were super friendly and food delicious!

This is a great restaurant space and the service is really god, just not over impressed with the food choices or the prices on the wine. Very expensive for what it is and overly complicated for the food, one of us really enjoyed the Lamb ribs which was probably the overall star of the night, the chicken was fine but the pizza had a weird sweet taste to it that didn't make it that enjoyable. The wine list is absolutely overpriced with no middle of the road choices cheapest bottle i think was $55 and most around $70- $90, that is a lot for a local eatery.

Great food, amazing staff and beautiful setting. Loved dining here, we really enjoyed our experience.

We had a awesome beef rib (with beautiful sauce) and pork for main, Brussel sprouts for side and trevalley for starter. The waitress were right to recommend those. Half price, less people (because of the early start, got busier later on.), friendly but good customer service, cool atmosphere and of course, great meal made our evening fantastic.

Was every bit wonderful - loved the atmosphere, loved the food, loved the service. Really friendly down to earth place and the food was delicious!

Our time at Little Jimmy was such a good experience! Great atmosphere, welcomed and looked after right from the time of walking in the door to when we left. Food was delicious. Would highly recommend

Excellent experience

As always great food, service, a buzzy eatery, just love Little Jimmys.

Delicious meal at Little Jimmy last night. Great service and a stylish but cost atmosphere.

Food was lovely, waitress very helpful. Would definitely go again, cool little place with a buzzing atmosphere. Only slight negative was it was a bit cold in the restaurant

Fantastic all round experience. Beautiful meal and great service as usual. We'll keep coming back!

We went last night for my husband's birthday , the food was amazing (specially their beef ribs) and the cheesecake was beautiful. Definitely will go back.

Little Jimmy totally blew my mind - I had heard good things of course and was excited to try something different with my partner... I have a bad habit of always going to the same places once I know that I like them whereas he is more adventurous and keen to try new things! Needless to say however, Little Jimmy is now a firm favourite with both of us and no doubt will be added to the list of places I insist upon frequenting often. I don't have the biggest appetite so I found that their 'smaller plates' to be the absolute perfect size for me. I ordered the West Coast Trevally with coconut, lime and chilli ... all I could say was WOW! The flavours were so delicate and aromatic and the fish was the freshest I have ever had!! The bf (who is not a huge fan of raw fish) even tried it and said it was divine. He had the Slow Cooked Goat and we "shared" some curly fries (read: he scoffed the lot and I got a few nibbles in) but this was fine as I found the Trevally to be the perfect sized meal for me and I was able to relax and take my time with it as he ordered the Whittakers 72% Chocolate Cheesecake with macerated kiwifruit and rhubarb sorbet. I am not a sweet tooth and enjoyed the extra time to savour my meal and the delicious Mahi Pinot Gris I ordered to accompany it. But even as a non-dessert eater - I have to say... that was the prettiest dessert I have ever seen. Such a work of art it seemed almost a shame to eat! Needless to say, he finished it in record time. On the way home we couldn't stop talking about the quality of the food and how much we enjoyed the entire experience - I should add that our waitress was an absolute treasure - all smiles and attentiveness and definitely added to the enjoyment of our dining experience. What I particularly appreciated was that I arrived home feeling full and content but not weighed down by that heaviness you sometimes feel after eating too much. I believe that to be a result of the amazing freshness of the ingredients Little Jimmy uses. All in all - I can't wait to go back!!!

Fabulous food and wonderful service. We had a window seat with a great view of rush hour traffic on a wet cold night. Lovely neighbour restaurant.

Great food, turned the night into a tapas spread and was a great experience.

Once again absolutely amazing food.. staff were really accommodating.. we arrived a little late due to traffic but it was no issue with these guys.
I would highly recommend this place to others.

As expected I’ve heard many good things about Little Jimmy. Food was beautiful the highlight was the chocolate cheesecake which surprised me quite a bit. Well done keep up all the good work. I am a huge fan of One Tree Grill too which is the sister restaurant next door.

Great food and service. We’ll be back!

Had a lovely meal, the staff were great and I’d definitely recommend the cauliflower side!

Had a great dinner at Little Jimmy’s. The atmosphere was buzzing, the food delicious and the staff very attentive. So great having a gen like this in my neighbourhood.

The food is first class and very well presented. The service could not be better. A definite all round first for us.

Food was delicious (best chicken snitzel ever!) and the service was attentive and genuine, will definitely go back!

Although called "Little Jimmy", our meal did not fall short of our high expectations. Little Jimmy's food was BIG on flavour! As someone who does not enjoy green beans I was converted not only by the green bean side salad but also by the tempura beans in the gnocchi which, by the way, will gnocchi your socks off. The fish pate was the most delightful starter that was perfect to share between two. Last but very certainly not least we indulged in the lamb short rib. Anyone that is going to Little Jimmy and doesn't order the short rib, is out of their mind. The best part is that Little Jimmy swoops in with big ideas and offers the option of a FOURTH short rib to be added to the usual dish of 3 so that the two of us may have two ribs each. And just as well they did because fighting over that last rib could break friendships, it's just that good!

Brilliant creative food and outstanding service. Our waitress was unpretentiously professional, with a great smile. Desserts were a highlight and I would recommend trying to save some room to at least share one if you can.

Enjoyable meal. Dining room does get a bit noisy when full though

After driving past this place everyday and looking at how busy it gets each night, seeing it on First Table when I signed up was a lovely surprise! It was the perfecr opportunity, and the opportunity didn't disappoint. The drinks menu is extensive and the food menu has a large, but manageable range when it comes to deciding. We ordered two mains and a side and were extremely content. The pizza is delicious and very large- we weren't able to finish all of it! The decor is very cool and the table setting is as well, especially the knives and forks! Great pick-me-up after a bad day!

We were looking for a place for dinner prior to going to Cirque du Soleil at Alexandra Park, and the location of Little Jimmy bar was in a perfect place, being just over 1km from the circus venue. We were very warmly greeted on arrival and the waiting staff were friendly. I chose fish of the day which was really delicious. My friends enjoyed their meals too - we would definitely dine here again

Great food, great vibe, great service. Would easily recommend this to anyone. Something for everyone on the menu.

Outstanding use of local food!
Waitress very knowledgeable.
Definitely be back to try more of the menu

Wow what an amazing time we had.. the waitress was so lovely and helpful.
The food was outstanding.. highly recommend the pork croquets and the cauliflower to share.. the beef shortrib was a highlight!
Lovely setting and I’ll definitely be going back!!

Very comfortable and stylish eatery. Yummy food will definitely be back with more people!

What an amazing dining experience, the food, the service, the ambience was all top shelf. My family loved it!!! You guys should be so proud of what you have.
A solid A+ from a Hawkes Bay family wanting a neat night out in Auckland.
We will def be back when in town.
