   Soul retains the high standards set by the original owner. The fish was beautiful prepared and presented and cooked perfectly. The terrace tables on a warm and sunny day are fabulous under the floral baskets-and looking over the viaduct basin it feels like you are transported somewhere else. The staff were attentive without being over the top. I am never disappointed when I visit Soul.

   Great location, food and wine selection. Tuna tartare, salt and pepper squid, lamb a bit rare, fillet of beef medium rare and a nice bottle of Zinfandel. Too full for dessert. Definitely will go again.

   Everything is so good that I make the Soul a regular stop for an excellent meal. It’s a real pleasure to eat & drink 🍸 in this restaurant.

   Planned all day for this dinner and was excited to have the whole fish. They were out of it :( Food is very high end and lots of odd seasonings and ingredients. Shrimp scampi was not as one would expect, flan was more like a polenta cake. A very expensive dinner that did not meet the high expectations from the reviews. Just my opinion Restaurant very loud and sterile Not good for any conversation

   All the seats inside and out at this lovely place are harbor view. We had a bit of trouble understanding the menu descriptions but our waiter, Zach was very helpful. My husband had the steak with oyster starter and I had the local fish and "red rascals". All very delicious. A nice start to our month long visit to New Zealand and Australia

    Excellent! Because of reviews on Open Table we visited Soul last weekend while visiting Auckland. We were not disappointed. We had an excellent experience. The main course tuna was outstanding and my husband's snapper was delicious. We were fortunate to have a table on the patio and the view and weather were perfect.

    After being in NZ for two weeks at various locations we had the opportunity to dine at SOUL. It was a first class experience from the time we walked up the steps. It’s a vibrant establishment, beautifully decorated and the food was the best we had from an NZ restaurant. Service was first class. There was some concern about the noise level when we first arrived but that subsided shortly after 7. Definitely worth the time andc$s!

    Some of our food was really good and some of it was just okay. The service was outstanding! There was a large group of girls at a table behind us that were very rambunctious and loud but before they got there the ambiance was lovely. Beautiful views of the waterfront.

    The Lady's Lunch was fantastic value with superb food and wine. The only downside was the wait person's rudeness in reaching across us to pick something off the table, which I found quite intrusive. She could have walked to the side. Other than that small detail, it was a fantastic experience!

    Before 6 on a Saturday night I was told my choice of whole flounder was sold out! Very disappointing. My Hapuna was quite nice but I expected more. Key lime pie was also nice but lack zing. The pastry was outstanding. Service was very good but overall pricey.

    First time to Soul and booked as liked the reviews, primarily the excellent food, which it was. We were a family of 5 (adults) getting together and catching up so actually too noisy for us to have decent conversation. Yes there was live music at other end but did not know this when I booked. So would choose something quieter next time for this occasion. But we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals..........kudos to the chef and his team. 👍

    The smoked Trevally on toast, oysters and ceviche are delicious. The atmosphere is both chic and casual. Great place to catch up with friends, celebrate an occasion and host business dinners. This is a nice place to enjoy the Harbour view and people watching.

    We were in Auckland for 2 nights and I had read the excellent reviews of Soul on line. No exaggeration--from the lovely venue to the open windows to the amazing food, Soul should be on anyone's dining list when they visit New Zealand.

    A lively spot on the waterfront; food was better than can be expected given the location; the lamb main was especially good. Service was desultory with at least 3 servers appearing (in a leisurely way) at different times; the only fast service was when we finished our mains; the dessert menu came out without delay.

    Beautiful food, fantastic location, good service and wine. Although we were seated inside I am so glad we booked this restaurant for dinner, the actual restaurant is gorgeous and the view over the harbour is even better. Would recommend booking in advance to try and get an outside table. Service was great and the food was delicious.

    The food was good but the service was really lacking. Our waiter never came back after he took our order. My husbands' iced tea arrived at the end of the meal. Our appetizer plates were never removed and I wanted to order a coffee so I had another waiter get it for me. My husband went to the bar to get someone to get our check at the end of the meal.
