Neat place. Great food, we had their Pizza which is a good choice. Right by the beach so good views all round.

Very tasty pizza. But the service was slow, which probably due to the busy holiday weekend. We got our first drink 40 mins after we sat down. The food was quicker though.
Pizza was good and the young waiter who served us was lovely, but everything else was pretty bad. 16 for 6 very small pieces of salt and pepper squid. When I went to pay, I wasn't given my change. Even though it was 1.00, it shouldn't be expected that the change could just be kept. Wouldn't recommend unfortunately.
Great food, atmosphere, singer and staff. A great night of dining at the Enigma. Reasonably priced family run establishment and highly recommended.
Excellent location with a great view and a decent selection of beverages. Unfortunately that’s the extent of the good things I can say about the place. Ordered a seafood platter that was at best subpar, consisting of microwaved/bland prawns and mussels, smoked salmon that looks like it’s being left out for hours, fried fish with an unappealing coat of dark and hard batter, etc. Highlight of the evening was when my partner approached the waitress to see if our pizza order had been forgotten (as it had been 1 hour and 5 minutes by this point since we ordered, and a table behind us got their pizza before us despite ordering after this). We didn’t ask the question with any aggression or blame. The middle-aged woman in charge of the pizza station then had a shouting match with the other staff member after being questioned the whereabouts of the pizza. It didn’t end there - after the shouting finished. she then muttered loudly that we were “so impatient”. We heard this so did the rest of the diners. Not exactly professional and sounds like another one of her tantrums as per a similar review by another diner previously. Disgusted with her behaviour we left with the pizza untouched. My reviews are almost always positive but this place stood out and I regret not checking google reviews prior to going in. To diners considering this place, perhaps a lovely picnic by the beach just across the road would be more enjoyable. 2/5 for the location and also because I am on holidays and am feeling nicer than I normally am.
Took 1.5 hours to get our food. You basically have to ask for everything you need or you will be ignored. Truly not worth it. I would’ve had a better experience at McDonald’s.
Food is awesome and tasty. Portions are good too. The only complaint I have is I ordered a salt and pepper squid as an entrée which is 16. You get 6 pieces of bite size squid, a bit bigger than popcorn chicken, a wedge of lemon and salad. It's not worth that much money for a small portion. I can get a much bigger portion with more squid in Auckland for the same price, maybe a bit more
Great location and beer.. that's where it ends. Service is terrible.. rudest guy, just ignores you.. entree never arrived after 55 minutes, then they brought our mains.. was stone cold... pizza was average.. mussels finally arrived.. we got 5 of them in the 14 entree size. Would go for a beer and the view, don't bother eating there.. slow service and just average food.
