Mister 'd's Bistro

Absolutely loved our experience, my father in law is a repeat visitor but it was our first time and WOW. We've been out a few times this year and Mr Ds was definitely top 3 experience, food and flavour wise. Every dish was perfect, the flavour, the texture. All our mains were delicious (we all had a try of each), the duck was crispy, the beef tender, the bone marrow ravioli was delicious. Absolutely recommend the salad and their in house vinegarette (we purchased some bottles as it was that good) and the octopus was so tender. The staff were all a delight, fun, and informative including the chef. Juliette was a star. Thanks again guys. Highly recommended

Cheesy Eggs for her and the Smoked Fish Hash for me were the orders of the day - chuck in some extra toast, a couple of flat whites and call it breakfast. The place was busy but we'd come at the brunching hour so no surprises. Our server was Sara ... she had quite a big section to get through but she was quick and friendly. We ordered coffee, chose food and enjoyed the noise. There were a few kids and babies and large groups of diners. A testament to the quality of their food and service. Our meals arrived and I immediately had food envy and wished I'd ordered cheesy eggs too. My hash was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside with the perfect balance of smoked fish to potato - poached eggs and brown butter hollandaise it was delicious! The cheesy eggs were ... cheesy, gooey and everything I knew it was going to be. Thick pieces of sourdough toast to mop up the sauce and it all smelt divine. The experience wasn't without issue. My wife found herself chewing on a fairly decent sized piece of cling wrap probably used to hold the egg as it cooked. You only have to look around to see that the probability of this happening is rarer then hens teeth. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen was consistently beautiful. Everyone around us had beautifully plated food. So the 5 stars isn't for the food which is definitely a Napier 'must go' you won't regret it and like us, you'll drop by everytime you're in town. It is for the service. Sara and Deepak - you were both amazing and we appreciated the care and professionalism you showed. Thank you. EDIT: Another visit and we decided to try something different. Corn fritters for her and smoked fish hash for me. No regrets!

Mister D was a great place for me and my family to get some lunch. The food has great presentation and good flavour, the atmosphere is great as it provides a 1980s feeling, and the service is amazing. For some reason they fill your cup with water very consistently which is really cool, and they are always willing to help you.

An absolutely delightful dining experience! I had the pleasure of enjoying their Sashimi salad and the unique pork and paua meatballs. The blend of flavors in each dish was nothing short of extraordinary. Staff were incredibly attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere had a cozy charm, and the selection of beverages perfectly complemented the meal. Mister D is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Can't wait to return!

We dined here last week and had such a fantastic meal. We had the sashimi salad and pumpkin soup to start, I don’t know if it is because it is a quiet day or their usual, but the portions were MASSIVE - we probably didn’t really need mains, but I was very happy to have got the Gruyère soufflé - and forced myself to finish it because it was so good. My daughter had the eggplant thingy which is just a symphony of flavour and texture combo. They also served complimentary ciabatta. Great drinks options. Service was efficient and friendly. Thank you for a outstanding experience

High quality beautiful food and service, worth every dollar you pay. Staff were attentive and accommodating, happy to add an extra Ox Cheek Croquette to my starter dish to make it a more substantial meal. Cocktails are yum as well and the injectable doughnuts are heavenly, with your choice of filling.
