I am glad that I finally decided to pay this pace a visit despite some negative feedbacks from some diners. I was received by a friendly and efficient Thai service staff. She was polite and quick. She gave me some recommendations and I ordered. The soup, bread followed by T bone steak.. All came fast. The soup was really good. Not salty, fresh muscles, and very very creamy. It tasted even better with the warrn garlic bread. This place is really crowded. I arrived 5.45m and there after, I counted at least another 30 diners came streaming in. There were only the Thai senior staff and 2 junior service staff. I have to guess that they are kind of short in manpower during this holiday seasons.. However, they were calm and doing their best. Not easy to be in the hospitality industry esp for dining. All the best and thanks for a great dining experience an good food. Cheers

My partner and I had a lovely dinner at Tony’s Lord Nelson. We were well accommodated in a beautiful booth, and the service throughout the night was really nice and attentive.
I ordered the lamb shank, which was full of flavour and paired perfectly with the mash though it wasn’t quite as soft as I would’ve liked. My partner started with the shrimp cocktail, which he devoured (a good sign!), and followed it up with a scotch steak served with mushrooms and fresh fries. His steak was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing.
Overall, we had a great experience good food, great service, and a cosy atmosphere. We’d definitely come back!

We were traveling with friends and had this restaurant recommended by his colleague, the sister of the owner. The atmosphere inside was well designed and inviting. We began with some wine, which we later found and bought to bring home because we loved it, and the famous green-lipped mussels. Then we each order different meals to get a nice sampling. Lamb, tomahawk steak and fish, it did not disappoint. Plus the owner and her staff were friendly and attentive. Such a highlight of our trip!!

We came here for dinner on our first night in Auckland and it delivered! Niro and her team were gracious to seat us close to closing and quickly took our orders and served us. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to eat here as part of our honeymoon. The drinks were crisp and the food was incredible. I ordered the pepper steak and my husband ordered the spaghetti bolognese per the staff’s recommendation, and neither of us could stop eating and cleaned our plates. Not to mention the privacy the booth seating provided and the joyous Christmas decor! Highly recommend stopping in if you have the chance.

Tony’s Lord Nelson is one of Auckland CBD’s longest-standing steakhouses, but our experience didn’t quite meet expectations. The mussels had a sauce with an unusual mix of flavours — a little too sweet yet savoury at the same time. The garlic bread was nicely buttery but could have used a bit more garlic flavour. The steak was decent, just a touch on the dry side. Service was generally polite, though a bit forgetful at times — we had to ask a few times for water, and sauces for the steaks weren’t mentioned when ordering. Overall, it was an okay experience, but a few small improvements could make a big difference.
