METRO / AUDI RESTAURANT OF YEAR AWARDS 2010
WINNER BEST SERVICE
Cable Bay Vineyards is delighted to be judged winner of the 2010 Metro/Audi Restaurant of the Year Awards, Best Service category.
Metro Magazine critics write:
"With great service, you've got to be knowledgeable, attentive and get everything right - and you've got to make every customer feel special. Cable Bay's restaurant manager, Andi Reilly, knows this. He's a most affable host, always out among the tables, and his influence is clear in the work of a dedicated and charming waitstaff. In a tourist spot like Waiheke Island it can be hard to shake the cruisy, nothing-really-matters Kiwi approach, but that's exactly what Cable Bay has done.
Cable Bay’s Operations Manager, Andi Reilly, has been managing the restaurant and front of house staff since its opening in 2007. “We are absolutely thrilled with the accolade. Our service style is always professional, yet we strive to maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. For a Waiheke Island establishment to be recognised as one of the best in the greater Auckland region is just fantastic,” comments Andi.
This is the second consecutive year that the Cable Bay restaurant has been recognised as being one of the top 50 restaurants in Auckland and comes hot on the heels of being voted Best Place to Watch the Sunset in 2009.
“The team have been working very hard on all aspects of the dining experience at Cable Bay and this is well deserved recognition. This has been our busiest summer and it is fantastic to know that even when the team are under enormous pressure, our service maintains its high standards” comments Cable Bay’s CEO, Doug Todd.
Cable Bay restaurant is open for lunch Thursday - Monday from 12 noon and dinner Friday and Saturday from 6pm.
