The Culpeper

The waiter was slick and fantastic. Very professional and extremely helpful. The food was good. More towards a New Orleans/Asian/Salad fusion. The ribs were delicious and were slightly burnt for the Smokey flavour. Skirt steak wasn’t as tender as I usually like my skirt steaks. Pulled pork was nice, but don’t have too much as it is quite rich. The prawn tacos were spicy and delicious, one of my favs here. Salmon was cooked throughout, should be slightly pink. The salad didn’t work with the salmon. The fried chicken was amazing, perfect crunch and tender thighs, match with the sauce and lemon was perfect texture. Kids meal Mac n cheese with fries was great too. My daughter loved it. They are also on first table! So all the more better!

@firsttable : A family birthday dinner at @theculpepernz with four full tummies, great love for the 16hr wakanui brisket and the boston butt pulled pork that had us finger-licking! Glory Bay salmon was a lovely delicate dish, very nice with citrus on the side as well as the tuna poke that cut through the summer heat. Yummy beer battered fries and just had to get the cheeky corn dogs too, of course! Ended with the usual favourites of key lime pie and week pie, cherry and chocolate. They got us hooked, we will be back soon! 😋

We booked for the new years Eve set menu and arrived slightly early, our table was already ready so we walked straight up and were seated quickly. The menu options were a good range of different dishes and we ordered a variety between the 2 of us. They were more than happy to offer side plates so we could share the different courses. The beef starter was lovely and was followed by the Korean chicken and tuna which was great to be able to share the 2 options. The chicken was a perfect balance of hot and tasty and the tuna was fresh and lovely. Onto the mains where we got both the beef and the pork belly. The pork was probably the pick here as the beef really needed the accompaniments. We got both the fries and slaw as sides and they were very tasty and good portions to share. Finally we had the a banoffee pie and a key lime pie, these were tasty but not exquisite, given the busy night I imagine that was to make serving a little easier. We were overall very happy with our choice for the final meal of 2018

Most delicious charcoal roasted kumara dish! The cauliflower was also incredible and massive. There is a separate vegetarian menu, so make sure to ask before ordering as the main menu is very meat heavy. Great atmosphere and view of the Harbour. Staff were friendly and efficient with table service. Thoroughly enjoyed dinner at this place and will be back!

What can I say, this place is amazing! High standard in food, service and quality. Very good location and view, amazing food and the crew was so attentive to our order, and always checking “Is the food good?” “Is everything alright?”.. The broccolini taste so good, highly recommended! on top of that I got a extra treat from my dessert order 😍 we’ll surely return!
