Best in the West
Are you looking for the best place to eat out west?
Western Leader readers recommend The Falls as the Best Restauarant in the West.
Best restaurant:
The Falls Hotel is an historic jewel in Waitakere's crown. It's first class setting has inspired owners Garry Bates, Alan Parry (ex London's Ivy restaurant) and Nina Parry to bring a quality dining experience and an award-winning menu to West Auckland.
It's kitchen team has achieved the New Zealand Beef and Lamb Hallmark of Excellence many times over and was awarded the Gold Plate award again for 2006 and 2007.
Now it has a Western Leader Best of the West accolade to add to it's boast list.
"This is especially rewarding because it is a popular choice award, "Garry says.
"The people have voted for us so we set great store by it"
The Falls opened under its current management in 2005 though a restaurant has operated on the site since 1998.
The future looks good with the addition of consultant Chef Phil Neverman.
