The Elephant Wrestler

Had an amazing time, our host of the night was very quick, attentive and also helpful. She gave us little activity booklets for our daughters which really came in handy, her conversation also felt very genuine which was nice. We ordered a lot of food and it all came out very very quick and was all delicious. Loved the atmosphere and was easy to find a park aswell. Would definitely return

Food was average. We order the chicken entree which was overcooked and dry. Pork bites and dumplings were good. Service was pleasant.

Should be honest... one of the best restaurants/Bars around North Shore...

Had a lovely dinner, wanted to try the dessert too but we were too full from starter and main. Would eat there again

Came here for dinner last night, was an amazing dinner, took a little long to get our order taken but the restaurant was quite full. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back to eat here again in the future, high recommend, the outside dining area will be perfect for summer

Excellent food and service. Just what we needed on a wet Tuesday afternoon!

To noisy and loud

Great service and yummy food! Would recommend!

Great service, awesome sharing plate! Very busy but cool atmosphere :)

Excellent venue, great service - great food - all in all a good dining experience.

What a revelation The Elephant Wrestler !
Venue is superb, Staff are awesome , Food range is outstanding but most of the generous serves are absolutely delicious , will be back for sure , Highly recommend

Great portion!!!

Food are excellent! I love elephant wrestler.

Great experience all together. Food came out quick and the waitresses were often checking on us and really friendly :) Delicious food and yum cocktails!

Perfect!

The platters are fantastic, definately coming back with friends to sample the 4 person meat platter.
Great to see a fresh take on dessets - my wife tried the burger and fries- Ice cream sandwiched in feshy baked cookies (the burger) and churros (the fries) with chocolate dipping sauce. Highly recomend

Great evening, order taken in good timing arrived as described generous portions. Music not too loud so able to have a conversation Would happily go again
Only negative - not offered water

We love dining at The Elephant Wrestler! I would definitely recommend the Ribs, their Squid and the Chicken Wings. Everything was delicious! Don't hesitate to go order your drink top-ups at the bar yourself as it can get very busy at times and you might wait a while for a waitress to get to you. Otherwise, speedy service once the food has been ordered and we've never waited long for our food. We'll be back as always.

Highly recommend The Elephant Wrestler, we celebrated Fathers Day a little early and it was just perfect, the atmosphere, food was amazing and the service was just awesome! We ordered a sharing board and the meats were so tender, we were so impressed, staff were super friendly and helpful with our little girl we are definitely going to be returning regular diners!

Great food and service and a solid wine list!

:)

We had a great experience at the Elephant Wrestler! It was a busy Friday night, but the service was impeccable and we were seated in a prime booth for our dinner.

There were two of us (with big appetites). We ordered the Elephant sharing platter with a side of fries and Asian greens. Everything was delicious, cooked to perfection and plenty of food for two. If you had to pick just two I would recommend the pork belly bites and the Asian greens. Each dish came with a sauce which matched perfectly.

Great relaxed atmosphere with a cool vibe, and trendy decor.

Thanks Elephant Wrestler! We will definitely be back.

The food was wonderful and the selection also very good and varied! It was a little wild and crazy but then that’s usually the vibe that people want when they come here! Our waitress could have known the menu a little better but The service was good and we asked for plenty of water and she kept it coming!

We had lunch at the sunny courtyard yesterday which was awesome. The waitress (forgot to ask for her name) is great, we thought our dining experience wouldn't have been the same without her!

Good food and nice atmosphere!

A mouthwatering start to the weekend!
Seated quickly, didn’t have to wait long for drinks, fast, friendly service and the FOOD!... best steamed buns I’ve ever tasted, yummy dumplings and my husband cleaned his steak plate.
Thanks team for a great feed, we’ll be back soon :)

Delicious food, another bar/restaurant hybrid. Would be lovely on a warm day in Takapuna. A big menu that is really accommodating for any dietary requirements. Food came quickly and servers were helpful. The pork belly was a highlight, loved the Asian twist on the menu! Plenty more dishes I would love to try.

The Elephant Wrestler offers a range of meals to choose from which are so tasty and pleasantly presented on a plate. Aside from the food, their customer service is impeccable. We had lunch there to celebrate my mum’s birthday and the staff at Elephant Wrestler made our dessert extra special for my mum. This place has a great ambiance suitable for any occassions or if you’re just after a good night out. Its right in the heart of Takapuna, great location with plenty of parking around.

The food was great!!! Service was excellent too. Will come back surely.

Great food, great service and everything came out really quickly!! Highly recommend.

Excellent service from the staff at The Elephant Wrestler. We were very well looked after and received our food very quickly. The Buttermilk chicken burger was amazing, loved the slaw that came with it, and the steak was so juicy and tender! Kids had the cheeseburger meal and a cheese pizza, both of which were a generous serving. Will definitely be back.
