Spectacular views from the marina across the Tauranga harbour to The Mount. Owner Phil Rudd, ex drummer of rock band AC/DC, dream is to bring affordable fresh dishes with a local flavour to diners. If you want a more casual take try The Last Gasp Café, open 7am-3pm.

Magic food and simply the best staff and location

When we wanted to film our two-minute video to enter The Amazing Race, this is where we went to take the original shots. We sat by the water, sipped G and T’s, looked at the Mount in the background and planned how we could win this thing. It’s a great place to take visitors if you want to enjoy drinks by the water.

Went for Lunch on Sunday the 6th to celebration a few Birthdays with a mix of Great Grand Parents, the trendy Grand Parents(that's obviously me and the Wife) the Parents and our beautiful Grand Daughter. From the moment we arrived all was made to feel so welcome by the fantastic hostesses and Staff. Drinks arrived soon afterwards and Meals to talk about for some time arrived in perfect time. Staff checked on us just enough to feel cared for but not crowed and the tariff was a plesanet surprise. Thank you all for making all of our day. Phil's place has now become OUR place! Highly recommended. Shane Raymond.

Location, ambience and great food.

Classy food and wonderful setting.

It wasn't enough being the drummer from AC/DC for Tauranga restauranteur Phil Rudd. He always wanted to open his own restaurant that showcased local flavours and on Tauranga waterfront, he's done just that. Stop in to rub shoulders with one of metal's most famous drummers and get a decent bite to eat. What's not to love!

Owned by Phil Rudd, Drummer for ACDC. How cool is that?! Last summer I did a show in Tauranga and the following day we were taken there for lunch. Right on the Marina, the food is amazing. A must for all rock fans just to say you've eaten there.

Owned by Phil Rudd, Drummer for ACDC. How cool is that?! Last summer I did a show in Tauranga and the promoters partner turned out to be Phil’s daughter so they took us there the following day for lunch. Right on the Marina, the food is amazing and it’s full of rock memorabilia. A must for all rock fans.

What a place. Great food, friendly staff and a view that leaves you breathless. This place is Awsome, you have to try the seafood chowder or the pork belly. Give your tastebuds a treat. love this place.
