The Auction House

The atmosphere was good, service was great, the coffee was fantastic. We chose 5 tapas dishes for dinner....which we found ok, but not memorable. We also had dessert...the pumpkin ice cream was delicious.....but the pecan tart not so much. Overall we had a nice evening out. Would try again.

Beautifully presented tapas, great flavors and lovely atmosphere. Cant wait to go back.

We frequent the Auction House regularly and have got to know the staff very well. The food is excellent and the service supberb. There is very prompt service when we have to go somewhere afterwards and when we just want to chill it is a great place to relax.. Recently we had a staff afternoon tea at the Auction House and there was universal praise. They were very accommodating. It is now our favourite eatery in town.

Absolutely stunning food with such a beautiful menu to choose from. We had a huge array to choose from and loved dining tapa style. Service top notch as well with genuine staff that were passionate about their craft and enthusiastic in their job. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great People, great food, with good size portions. I will be back.

The food was amazing! I had the Ribeye steak, fries, apple slaw and mushroom sauce. The food serving was big and I couldn't eat it all. We enjoyed our dinner, thanks team

Great food wonderful staff

Food was really good service was just as good if not better. Definitely recommend. Will be back again to try the tappas.

Waitress was very welcoming and attentive- amazing service!
Food was absolutely delicious. Really enjoyed the tapas. If you are looking for something different n great food, strongly recommend!

Great food and the service was first class.

We had such a great time catching up with friends at The Auction House! The decor is great - a good mix of industrial softened with large fireplace and upholstered chairs. Staff were absolutely brilliant - good professional and friendly service. We had a big mix of tapas and two of us ordered Ribeye mains - which were generous and delicious. Tapas plates looked and sounded interesting. The Pork Ribs and Crab were exceptional - and two things I never make. On other items, I do think the flavours were not strong enough - for example, could not taste the Sumac on the Haloumi, Venison and Lamb were cooked medium and lacked flavour, but were tender. Chefs might be catering for mild palates... The Affogato was Perfection - generous on the Ice-cream and sweet Biscotti, Espresso intense, Baileys on the side - the best I ever had. Vegan Cheesecake also brilliant. We would totally return to The Auction House next time we are in Invercargill - First Table prices or not.

we had a great night - had to be out at 6.15pm to get to the movies. The staff were very friendly and the tapas were amazing - as well as the wine - would definitely recommend

An excellent experience at Auction House last evening - first time dining there but won't be the last!!

Fantastic!!!
Was our first time at the auction house and its was delicious and exciting.
My partner and I ordered 7 dishes to share from the tapas menu. Each and everyone was exciting and yummy.
Staff were friendly and approachable very happy with the evening will see you again soon :-)

From the moment we stepped through the door the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was excellent and the portions were that big I had to get a doggie bag so I could fit some desert in which was once again amazing!

Delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing food and great service!

The place is amazing, we love that it is not crowded, theres a lot of space. Nice cozy ambiance. There were 3 staff working taking our orders theres a wee bit of wait but not too long and understandable. Quick food service and so delicious!!! Love the Tapas selections. Great experience

Very much enjoyed the tapas selection, was lovely overall, thanks.

Best dinner out in ages great food the service so a bit different as first waitress didn't know if I was booked then told us to sit anywhere so we did to then asked if we like to move and nope we didn't and to top it off she gave my 3year a chocolate fish ... Algood and fine but not before tea, but 2nd guy was great

Couldn't fault the service, very attentive wait staff. The food was beautifully cooked and presented. Highly recommend.

Amazing food! Nice wines! Service awesome! Definitely be back.

Fantastic sevice, staff were so happy and friendly. The food! OMG the food! Fresh, flavoursome and filling. Loved this experience.

Four of us dined and we shared one of every tappas food was more then enough and very yummy

good place! friendly staffs and we loved tapas!
200% recommended!!!

My wife had the salmon main dish which she enjoyed very much. I had three different Tapas & thoroughly enjoyed them. I have never had Tapas before but can highly recommend that people try them out. Our waiter for the evening could not have been better.

Great atmosphere and very helpful staff - I was even given a pair of reading glasses so I could read the menu!! Our server was fantastic, and the food was great. My steak was cooked exactly how I asked for it to be done. The portion sizes are very generous and the pricing is reasonable. We will definitely be returning to The Auction House!

Great tapas dishes!

This was my first time dining at The Auction House. The service was fantastic. Although I didn't enjoy the food it was well presented and cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend others dine here.

Lovely food, attentive staff. Look forward to returning

We love going for coffee at The Aution House during the day and we were excited to see them pop up on First Table. It was our first First Table experience and we really enjoyed it! The staff are really friendly and super accomodating with my millions of food intolerances, which usually makes eating out a challenge. The food and dessert was delicious and we would highly recommend this cafe and restaurant to anyone!

Great food, friendly staff esp Ben who made the whole experience a laugh. Will be back.

We celebrated my mother’s 65th birthday here and it was the first time we had dined here. Food was great, kid friendly and the churros were a hit with everyone, I’m pleased we opted to share! We will be back!
