20th September 2011 Straight and to the point, my rating for the "Ugly Duck" is a 5.Food great,and price very reasonable, service excellent and very pleasant staff.
A local restaurant and bar with a great atmosphere for all ages in a popular area of New Plymouth. Catering for all occasions- separate dining area, bar dining and function area. Ideal for a drink, a casual meal or more formal dining. Open 7 days with special evenings such as quiz nite, wine club nite, roast nite etc or a special function for your business promotions or family celebrations. Always great service and ambience..

17th November 2010 Only visited this establishment once, but will not return based n my personal choice (may attend if invited by others) The bar was virtually empty, yet myself and two friends stood waiting to be served, whilst the bartender continued a lengthy discussion with other patrons, (they sounded like good friends.) The bartender actually turned and looked at us about three times, yet continued their conversation with the other patrons. When we were served we attempted to make conversation in a casual manner with barely a response, the only words uttered were "That wil be ..... thankyou" yet as I sit here, I don't think we got a thank you. I know a couple of their regulars, who are becoming less regular for similar reasons to mine, which is a shame, but the place might be doing okay, as it has lasted a long time in an environment where a good reputation is essentially to staying viable, personally, not for me.
