We went to the cobar for our 2nd anniversary and we loved it. The service was excellent and the food superb. The menu wasn’t large but there was a good variety and the wine list was extensive. We both enjoyed our choice of wine. The portions were just right, we left feeling satisfied not stuffed. With the tasteful decor and beautiful views this was a wonderful place to enjoy a lovely meal. We will definitely be returning and bringing our friends too.

Recently enjoyed lunch at Cobar with our overseas guests visiting Wellington on a cruise ship for a day. The meal was excellent, service very friendly, helpful and non-intrusive.
Had been looking for a good restaurant in the Hutt Valley or Eastbourne area and was not disappointed with the choice that was made. Would recommend and be happy to visit again during my next visit to the area. -

Have just returned from what was to have been a celebration dinner. Chose Cobar because for many years earlier we had been regulars but with the changes of ownership we were not regulars now. However after having a very enjoyable lunch there recently we decided we would give the dinner menu a go. A bad choice!! One meal was the fish of the day which was very good but the accompanying ??? was burnt!! The other meal was a lovely round piece of salmon,unfortunately well over cooked and the fritter served with it was just that, an over cooked fritter. The waitress was told of the displeasure with the fish and enquired if we wanted something else but by then the meal was half eaten and we declined. The staff were excellent and attentive. When settling the account we noticed that there was no discount for the bad meals and on asking about it we were declined. As we dine out a lot this is one restaurant we would hesitata to recommend. What a pity when it has so much going for it especially the views and easy parking though we did not find pay and display as in their web site. along with its menu it needs updating

Was part of a large birthday party here recently and had a fantastic dinner. Staff were excellent, service spot on, and although we had a set menu, from all accounts, everyone raved about how good their food was. Well done to the new management.

Staying at accommodation in Days Bay we sought advice from locals and dined at the Cobar. The staff were welcoming, the views over the bay were lovely. There was a good selection of locally sourced fish, seafood, meats and vegetarian dishes. There was a suitable selection of both starters and desserts. There was a good choice of wines by the glass and the bottle. The quality and presentation of the food was excellent- I can certainly recommend the pork belly. We enjoyed our first visit so much that we returned – twice.
