An elegant high end dining experience. We stopped in for the champagne lunch, on a Saturday. The first surprise was the lovely view you are gifted when walking into the dining room. Just wait to enjoy that!!! The food is creative, extremely delicious, and you...will be provided attentive accommodations for any and all dietary restrictions. Make sure you include this in your reservation ahead of time. As significant preparation goes into deviating from the standard menu. Overall a great experience, would definitely return. Thank you to the AMAZING service team who made our dining experience a great success.More

Wow - what an amazing experience for the taste buds. We ventured for a mid-week Taste of Sidart - a three course + entrees and cheese board sampling of the Sidart menu. Apprehensive of fancy pants eating we decided to trial our experience with the...smaller menu and expected to be hungry afterwards and in need of a post-dinner burger to keep us full. We were happily surprised from the impeccable service as we entered the door, the fabulous drinks and the explosion of flavour from each of the courses. The four entrees set the level high, where the dinner remained for the evening. Served as petite fours and disguised as sweet treats we were given unexpected flavour bombs that just kept on going. From textures to complex combinations we were blown away. While the portions were definitely small, it was worth savouring every morsel to enjoy each hit of flavour to the palate. It was probably the slowest I had ever eaten a meal before, and the rich seasonings and rich seasonal items featured on the menu left us feeling full and very content. Highly recommend!More

We haven't been here for a fee years. While SidArt was always a classy and innovative - we found that sometimes some of the dishes weren't always to our taste. However with the new chef/owner - we were wowed. Every dish was delectable and the...entire menu was innovative, balanced and well considered - as were te matching wines. We will definitely be back again - soon!More

The best experience ever. If you drink alcohol go for the wine match it elevated the food. The cheese board was worth the trouble

Had a 50th in the private dinning room at SidArt this week. The food was beyond compare - the matched wines were exceptionally well chosen and the service was second to none. Really appreciative to Joe and his team for making a special night perfect.

The service was absolutely incredible our host was amazing and answered all my questions happily and even gave me recommendations for which non-alcoholic cocktail would work well with what dish was coming next my favorite of which being the Nogroni we ordered the extended series...which was the 12-course degustation menu. the menu started off with a bang a one-bite fish and chips dish that blew me away and the surprises kept coming through the night with dishes such as market fish with oyster mushrooms, wild shot venison with cardamom foam and masala pickled carrot, and a feijoa sorbet with a dill sauce, pistachio crumble and kaffir lime meringue. my favorite dishes of the night have to be the dry-aged duck with the date and blood orange oil sauce and the hot chocolate balls that exploded in my mouth with a rich dark chocolate ganache. I came for my 16th birthday and I even got an extra sweet treat from the kind people at Sidart and a few copies of the menu to take home. everything at this place was divine from the atmosphere to the service and food. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves amazing food and is willing to try new things or things that aren't what they seem. special thanks to our host who was the young man with the black earring thank you for your hospitality and kindness. 10/10More

As soon as you open the door to the restaurant you're transported into a lovely ambience with views of the Auckland CBD skyline. The restaurant feels high-end while also still feeling warm and intimate. My partner and I were so impressed by the food, service,...and wine pairing and thoroughly enjoyed our night. Joe (who is the restaurant manager and sommelier) served us most of the night and gave us beautiful descriptions of the food as well as the wine pairings. It felt like he knew so much about the wineries and every explanation felt very personal. Sidart is very lucky to have him! Lesley (exec chef and owner) also served us a few of the dishes which were very inventive and delicious. Through the wine pairing (I picked local wines!) I discovered so many NZ wineries that I definitely want to visit, and Joe even printed off the menu and wine pairing list for me because I asked a few times about the wines we were served. I would highly recommend coming here, and make sure you uber so you can enjoy the wine pairings together as it elevates the entire dining experience. Thank you so much to Lesley, Joe and the team at SidArt for a lovely dinner!More

We had the most incredible meal and they totally catered to 2 people in our party being celiac and allergic to dairy. When each dish arrived you couldn't tell that ours looked any different--they totally recreated the dish sans gluten and dairy. The staff was...also amazing. I can't say enough good things. A must dine for a very special meal.More

This is a shout out to the lovely staff in sidart: we had to cancel last minute bc there was a flood warning and we weren’t sure we’d make it back to our hotel. Even though they were not obliged to do it, we want...to thank them so much for their understanding and latitude of the situation and refunding our deposits. We will be back next time we’re in Auckland!!More
