What User likes about The Matakana:
We enjoyed a nice late lunch at the Matakana Pub on May 1st. The fish and chips were outstanding and the service excellent. Nicola especially stood out. She was courteous, thorough and professional in arranging Kai for me to enjoy as a Celiac. Thanks again for a lovely experience Cheers Jamie Katie and Frankie the Jack Russell View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Matakana:
Good food, very quick service.Unfortunately, smokers in the eating area ruined the experience. Smoking had been illegal in eating areas of any establishment for years, but staff didn't seem bothered by this. View all feedback.

The ambiance of the restaurant is charming, however, the quality of the food has declined. It is not as impressive as it has been on past visits.
