It's one of the three restaurants at Little Creatures. I really enjoyed their grilled fish - unique flavours. They don't have kids menu or takeaways. So go to the other two cafes if you bring kids or want casual dining.

A brilliant place with great music and atmosphere. My family enjoyed our lunch yesterday afternoon, the food was tasty and satisfying. The best beers and cocktails. Thank you to the bartender Trent for giving us wonderful service. He has the best attitude and made us all feel welcome.

A worthy sojourn on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Kittyhawk proved to be the ideal place to refect in anticipation of an evening meal. Although obstructed by the parked vehicles, the views were pleasant and added to the placidity of the area. Service was friendly and surprisingly fast; most likely due to the mandatory QR code ordering system.

What an amazing set up. The food is great, service was excellent and the space superb. With multiple areas to choose from, you want feel out of place. From the main area to the quiet cocktail area there is something for everyone.

Kittyhawk is the best kept little secret inside Little Creatures! Awesome cocktails, all with a bit of local history built in and a twist on the generic fare you get in most places. Definitely not your usual! It's a great little space with the best team behind the bar - friendly, knowledgeable and always amazing service.

Wow! The food was exceptional, paua & prawn toast was devine, pizza thin and crispy yummy and salmon salad fab. Some of the best food we have had in Auckland. Pat chose our wine for us and it was spectacular and the wonderful cocktail made by Emanuel (Smokey whiskey sour) was as good as it comes. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and great staff. Prices very reasonable for Auckland. Great work team!
