Reviews for The Garden Restaurant – Bureta Park Motor Inn

Went to restaurant looking forward to a great meal – it was awful. We complained and were invited back a few nights later for a discounted meal.

This was not much better than the first visit, the food was not up to the standard I expected from this restaurant in comparison to other dining experiences in recent years.

We would like to caution other patrons from dining at this restaurant and feel embarrassed for any overseas visitors to NZ – please do not consider this establishment as an example of NZ Culinary Expertise.

This restaurant used to be a good cheap and reasonable night out – not anymore. Suggest upgrade decor, upgrade cooking practices and remember that Customers do count and they opinions are worth listening too!

After several failed attempts to contact you Louisa I feel it is only fair that other diners receive both sides of this saga.
Firstly you took up my offer of Free not discounted meals, at which time I asked that you speak to me directly on your return to express any further problems.
On your return both myself and my staff checked the many times they cleared your table about your meals and everytime the response was the same, everything was great.
I was available for comment when you left but you chose not to speak to me so I assumed you were happy until this review. I find your comments a little extreme given the not so discerning manner in which your family dined.
We aim to please but clearly its not possible 100% of the time.

I’ve just had an amazing meal at this restaurant. What a huge change from the previous time. The restaurant is now under new management and has definitely improved out of site with plenty of new dishes and so many desserts i was spoilt for choice. Will be back, as everyone in my party enjoyed it.

One star for price, that’s about it. Still felt ripped off though,On arrival I didn’t even get shown to a table or told to take a pick. I asked for some water for my table and got asked to pour it myself out of the water cooler. Roast was very simple. Saw crackling earlier, and when i asked when more would be out I got told there was no more.I couldn’t wait to get out of there. My own cooking and home would have been alot more tastier and comfortable. Don’t waste your time or money here.

years of existence do not a great place make. Despite being around for quite some time, the bureta park is not as it should be. The food whilst mirroring a homecooked roast is sadly well short of the mark. The ambiance poor, and in need of a quick spruce up. Suggest taking the time and making a meal at home. Or waiting for a change to occur at this place.
