Fantastic evening for family get together. Great food and service plus wonderful location..weather awesome for alfresco dining too ! will definitely return !

Greeted in a friendly manner. Service was timely, pace of dinner flowed very well.

We finally got around to trying out Ahuriri Village Kitchen for dinner last week through firsttable.co.nz and had a very enjoyable evening. We sat outside so we could enjoy the last of the day's heat and sunshine on another glorious Hawke's Bay evening. The service was great (thanks Karl). He was friendly, helpful and knew his stuff. The wine he suggested was very complementary to our meals and all of the courses came out at just the right time. Both us had a different starter, main and dessert, and were happy to share the odd bite with each other. Special mention goes out to the salmon starter and the cheesecake which was very light, fruity and delicious. It was a really enjoyable night and we will be sure to return again.

On arrival we were seated and presented with the menu. We quickly ordered a drink and after a few minutes we ordered our meals. Such a relaxed atmosphere and awesome food. Definitely will recommend.

We all enjoyed our evening last night. Good food and service. Menu cated for all. Will be back again. Thank you.

Super prompt friendly service, wonderful range of local beverages.

The service and food were fabulous! I love the fact there are vegetarian choices for me as well as steak for my husband. The meals are a perfect size and the are desserts divine!

Attentive owner and friendly staff. Great food. A small menu with variety. Rum and raspberry cheesecake was to die for yum, yum, yum. Good wine list but not all available by the glass.
Good location across the road from sea, not all tables had a sea view.

Absolutely great food and fantastic service. Will definitely be back.

Lovely evening for our anniversary. Great food and service, would definitely recommend and go back again, thank you.

Amazing flavors and fast, freindly. Will be going back forsure

Relaxing environment, attentive friendly service and delicious food and wine pairings. Thank you AVK for a wonderful evening.

very pleasant atmosphere, staff very attentive and the food was delicious .

Really enjoyed our meal, the food was beautifully presented and delicious. Service was personal and friendly.

One of our favourites. Excellent food, service & atmosphere.

Fantastic service! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Thoroughly recommend.

A real gem! Service was attentive and friendly, the food was well presented and excellent. Dessert was fabulous!
Love the olives and edamame beans...recommend.
Steak was to die for..ever so tender. Lamb equally so. Risotto was very, very rich (blue cheese) - probably too rich. Enjoyed the mushroom and carrots as sides. The cheesecake to finish was extraordinary.
Will be back!

lovely food and location a family favourite

An absolute taste sensation. The salmon entree was 10/10. The steak was cooked perfect. The nicest meal out we have experienced in Napier in food and service. Thank you First Table to alerting us to this find.

All our dishes were delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. Thanks!

My husband and I enjoyed our food. Not a suitable restaurant for fussy eaters though (as we found out with our 18 and 22 year old kids). A pasta dish on the menu wouldn't go amiss.

The food was amazing. I have younger children and the catered smaller kid specific meals! My girls were so chuffed! It was lovely to go out as a family and enjoy the fantastic food together! Definitely go back again!!!

Absolutely delicious meal and great service thank you

This restaurant was a gem of a find. Each plate we had was a taste sensation. This was certainly one of the best meals we have had dining out in Napier. The waitress was lovely and we had overall a lovely dining experience. We will certainly go again.

The AVK was the prefect balance of classy & comfy. There were hats and blankets available outside if the weather wasn’t what you prepared for.

Between the four of us dining we had the lamb, steak, and fish of the day, of which all we would highly recommend. The different flavours and ingredients used was interesting but all worked fabulously together.

I hope we can find another time in our schedules to enjoy this beautiful place again!

Food was amazing as were the staff. One of my highlights besides the food and service was the cosy rugs and sun hats available to those who dined there! How quirky and well thought of! Can't wait to go back!

Was lovely
Service was fantastic from start to finish and the food was presented beautifully and tasted just as good
Will be back ❤️

The food was fresh and extremely tasty. The service was frindly and prompt and very professional

Hadn't been before, was very impressed.

A very enjoyable evening, service and the food was outstanding - we were unable to fault any of the dishes. Each was cooked to perfection and the flavours exquisite. Our group of 4 each had 3 courses - amongst them, the venison, pork belly, rib eye, panna cotta and chocolate ganache. Our second visit to AVK but certainly not our last.

We had an awesome dining experience at Ahuriri Village Kitchen. The service was incredible- friendly, efficient and non obtrusive. The decor and ambience is perfect - there are tables inside and out with blankets and sun hats available for use. But the food - oh my goodness! The warmed olives were a perfect appetiser. Thai tofu starter was full of Thai flavours and the lamb, saffron mash and asparagus was cooked to perfection and a fantastic spring dish. I didn’t really need dessert but couldn’t go past the chocolate ganache with vanilla icecream- heaven on a plate! The food is presented so beautifully and all tasted amazing. We will definitely be back!

A really great place for a meal. We has the Osso Busso and the Aged Steak and both we divine, melt in your mouth, yum. The desserts were also really good. Great choice of local wines and beers.

Lovely place and lovely experience.
We will be back.

Very upper class food, very nice experience, waiter was lovely. Would highly recommend :)

Really tasty meals and excellent attentive service during our visit to Ahuriri Village Kitchen. Our first experience of using First Table was a very good one!

I took my wife here with our daughters for her birthday. The service was just wonderful and the food was delicious. They even put some cans in a muffin and piped Happy Birthday in chocolate on the plate! Those little touches are soooo appreciated. Would recommend this restaurant. Thank you for great food, service and evening.

First time here and very impressed, Thanks for a great night and meal! =)

Food, Atmosphere and Service consistenly good at AHK, We'll be back!

Had the most amazing meal. Aged Rib Eye steak followed by decadent dessert. Service brilliant with advice to save us money. One salad was sufficient for 2 as was the desert. Will be returning. Thanks guys for a wonderful experience xx

Nice little place with great atmosphere. Manager was great

Great experience. The waiter/owner? was very knowledgeable about wines etc and steered us well in the right direction. Food was great. We tried all the side dishes as we were four and very glad we did. Mushrooms particularly were delicious.

Thank you for the excellent service and delicious food, beautifully presented.
Highly recommended!

Great service and food, no issues in making up a meal for our 14month old either! Totally recommend!

We loved the food, and the service was great. Very friendly.

One of the best dining experiences we had. The new Menu was fabulous with everything from starters to Mains and finishing off with dessert was top notch. Staff was very friendly.
Highly Recommended.
