Cooke's - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

Was a very delicious experience. Service was a bit slow on occasion, but we were a party if 14 and the restaurant got packed. However. The ambience was sweet, the food was delicious (wagyu beef was amazing as was the linguine, the potato skins and the tortellini. Definitely recommended.

My husband and I came here for his birthday and we really enjoyed it. The service was amazing, the food drinks were great, and I loved the Christmas decorations around the restaurant : We will definitely be back!

Lovely atmosphere with a very colorful, fully-stocked bar. The chicken and the pappardelle with scallops main dishes were both excellent.

This was our first booking through First Table and it was amazing! The timing was perfect for dinner before a concert. There were only two or three other couples in the whole restaurant, so it felt like we had the place all to ourselves. We wondered whether we would experience a lower standard of service because we were getting the food for half price, but if anything we got special treatment. Service was prompt and attentive. They gave us complementary fresh baked bread with oil before dinner. The cocktails were superb powerful tastes they do not skimp on ingredients or water them down. The eye fillet steak was nice at least 8/10. But the chicken was unbelievable the tenderest we have ever eaten 10/10. The dessert of roasted peach and dark chocolate gelato was excellent. The portion sizes were perfect for us, but be aware that you dine at Cooke's for the taste and quality, not for the quantity. The presentation is top notch. The chef and bartender each personally came to the table to check that their work was up to standard. We would not often dine at a restaurant of this calibre, but First Table made it affordable, and we are so glad that we did.

Back again! I always visit when I'm in Auckland. Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food that's presented nicely and wonderful staff.
