INCA Ponsonby

Incredible lunch, could not fault it. The food and service were the highlights for sure but the atmosphere and decor were great too. Every single dish we ordered was delicious, the Pacifica Ceviche was the highlight. The menu sounded really interesting and delicious and it lived up to those expectations. The menu was very clear on what was vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free. The service from the whole team was great, attentive and informative, especially from our main server Olivia. She was really friendly and professional but still felt like being served by a friend which is exactly what I enjoy about nz hospo. The level of service from each team member was fantastic and I wish them all the best over this crazy season

We really enjoyed our evening at Inca; it was very good food and a pleasant atmosphere. Here's what we ate: - Guacamole for a snack with very very good cocktails. The sense of ceremony attached to the Guac was good though it fell a bit short of my expectations as regards flavours - Cerviche (Pacifica) - I didn't love this dish but that was a personal thing. There was nothing wrong with the flavours and the ingredients, it was just a little soupy for me - Pork Ribs - these were EXCELLENT - no doubt; moist, delicious and VERY good serving - it would have been plenty as a shared main course - Eggplant - I loved this plate - my wife not so much; it was very rich but delicious - We had limited choices on the dessert as we are Coeliac but opted for the CHoc and Cherry dessert which was also very good. Total spend,, $200 including 5 courses, 2 cocktails and 1 glass of wine. Costly, but overall, I think it was worth it. If we go again, I think between 2 we would drop the cerviche and share 1 main course with a salad. That would bring it down to about $150 and would be plenty of food for the two of us!

Excellent fresh food. Went on a busy night and the service was great. Accommodated out coeliac guests very well. Shared sashimi plate was amazing. We shared a few mains too, which was good as the portions were very rich. Took our 10 and 12yo and they were both looked after well. Overall, a great meal with warm service. Would recommend
