Venue Manager | Ebisu

Savor is a fast paced and dynamic business that stays true to its entrepreneurial roots. We create world class dining experiences across some of Auckland’s leading restaurants, while driving growth across the Group and returns for shareholders along the way.

The Venue
Ebisu serves up contemporary Japanese fare in a gloriously moody space right on Auckland’s waterfront in an historic building in Auckland’s Britomart precinct. A mixture of booths and tables are perfect for big groups or intimate gatherings. The menu draws together classic Japanese and European techniques - a mix of new-style sushi and sashimi as well as traditional Japanese dishes enlivened with unexpected twists. We have an extensive sake menu, Japan-inspired cocktails and a range of local, Japanese and imported beers.
