Auckland is full of fine neighborhood restaurants: Engine Room in Northcote, Maple Room in Remuera, Fish in Epsom to name a few. Point in Point Chevlier, unfortunately, doesn't quite make the list.
It used to be Point 9-5 a couple of years ago; staffed by a husband and wife team, much like The French Cafe, ensures top notch food and service.
Fast forward to 2007. Their website proclaims "we use the freshest possible produce to offer our diners an unpretentious selection of New Zealand culinary fare"
Well, after yesterday's visit, our impression is that if their food is at all representative of the state of New Zealand culinary fare, we should all stay home and learn how to cook for ourselves.
Finding Johanneshof Gewurztraminer on the wine list was, I'm afraid, the only positive highlight of our visit.
