We loved doing the high tea at Cooke’s Restaurant. They require a booking of at least 24 hours. The food was delicious and the tea sets they use are beautiful and unique. Special shout out to Umut for being so helpful and friendly!More

The food was lovely - but the service was extremely slow and the cocktails tasted like mocktails. I would not return based on the slow service.More

Great Ambiance. The food was good but not great. The Raviolo was bit thick. Cocktails were not strong enough, seems to be diluted and felt like a mocktail. Service was poor, had to call multiple times and asked for a suggestion nobody attended for nearly...15 mins. Only 2 tables were there but not sure why that happend. Also the cocktails were supposed to be concocted live at the table but it was already mixed and served. Bit of disappointment with the service.More

The service was very slow, first drinks did not come out together, a very long wait for one, although it was a delicious mocktail. The two lamb dish was excellent, the potato skins were not up to the same standard as the lamb. The marscapone...served with the potato was not to our taste. The staff on the floor and behind the bar may have been learning, but all of them? Overall not a great meal experience.More

We ate here during cyclone Gabrielle. As we’d walked around Auckland earlier in the day we’d noticed many businesses were closed because of the weather. We were delighted Cooke’s was open and welcoming. Even though it is a hotel restaurant it is an intimate setting...with the design being a contemporary take on art deco. We both chose the market fish of the day - snapper. It was fresh, cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The staff were as efficient as they could be under the circumstances. We were very pleased with both our choice of venue and food. Thank you Cooke’s!More

We wondered that there were so few guests on a Friday evening during holiday time? We shares our first course (and the waiter were told so) but only one plate arrived - it would have been service to provide us with an empty extra plate....Main courses were OK or good actually. We had not ordered sides - but afterwards I can say that we should have done so. But the waiter was not helpful in guiding us. It was on an unusual cold day in January - but still they had chosen to cool the restaurant with air-con. This is not clever - and does no good to our environment - please stop cooling restaurants down to a temperature where you have to eat your dinner when freezing.More
