The Grove Restaurant Auckland Reviews from The Last Year
Great Birthday at this Gem
I celebrated my birthday at The Grove on the last night of our two week trip. I couldnβt have picked a better restaurant to celebrate with my husband! Michael was absolutely lovely, as well as the chef β both making us feel welcome and taking care to explain the courses. The food was divine and the presentation unreal (I saw sea shells I couldnβt have dreamed up). Highly recommend this gem!
Best experience possible.
The best meal I have ever experienced by far. The service was impeccable,the food was a masterpiece, and the ambience comparable to none. Cannot wait to come back and have that experience again. 100/10
The best meal EVER. Almost unbelievable.
Holy Batman. Iβd never been to The Grove, but had a dear friend from Santa Rosa, USA, who is a real foodie,so needed to impress. He, and my wife are foodies, so I knew they would appreciate someplace special. Wow, was is a special night, like God was mixing thing and decided to plop an incredible experience in our laps. We had eight courses, and each was an incredible delight. Almost unbelievable . And then the wine. OMG, why had I never heard of Vermintino? The best wine I have ever tasted, and grown in Marlborough, geez. The staff were that magic mix of professional, attentive and fun. Needless to say, our American friend was blown out of the water. Once in our lives, everyone should get to experience this place.
Thank You team Grove!
Wow - just wow!! This one of my all time favorite dinning experience in my life! The food & service was outstanding- each course was full of surprises⦠our sommelier was so charming & even the head chef was running food and explaining the dishes. A must visit for anyone who is looking for a special night
A Night to Remember
The Grove offers a sensational culinary and sensory experience with exceptional service. As we journeyed through their degustation menu each element offered amazing combinations of flavours that tantalised our tastebuds, making it a truly memorable experience. Little touches took our night to the next level. Our wedding anniversary and birthday celebrations are now forever etched in our memory. We loved the entire experience and can strongly recommend to others. We look forward to replicating our experience on our return to New Zealand. Michelle & Mark B
What a special place!
Everything about this place is class and delicious. My friend Helena and I came for dinner and have been talking about it for weeks after. Every touchpoint was held with sentimental weight - from the waiting staff to the head chef himself serving a few courses to their sommelier explaining wine pairings. It was so much more than a dinner, but a whole experience! Special mention to the caviar bumps, the caviar melted in your mouth like butter and was made extra special with the beautiful cart is was bought to our table on. This place is a must visit in Auckland, and I'd go nowhere else when celebrating a special occasion - 12/10!
Out of the park 10/10!
Look no further if You would like a trip through culinary skill and expert hospitality. The Grove head chef and front of house staff have the absolute right balance of warmth education skill and Etiquette to take you on the very best of food journeys. I would recommend the full degustation menu as the very finest example of fine food and when required wine pairing available. This was a exemplary display of fine dining served with great love and passion and a straight 10/10 for anyone wishing a unique ex[erience. Whilst some restaurants and establishments have struggled across and post Covid It is clear and evident the Grove have focused all there efforts on providing the very best service possible - Well done indeed a class act and where All the other bespoke restauranters should be looking for inspiration! Thank you so much - Mick
Best food and service in Auckland from two frequent restaurant-goers
My wife takes me here for my birthday every year for the last four years and this year was truly exceptional. Everything about the meal, from the cocktails to the petit fours at the end were masterful along with friendly and personable service from every member of the staff. A special mention has to be made of the lamb "lollipop" that I think was the fifth course of the evening. It was simply the best lamb we have ever had, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Much thanks to The Grove for a truly memorable night.
All round outstanding experience
This is the hands down best fine dining experience in Auckland. We had not been to The Grove for some time and were impressed to find it was even better than we had remembered. The dining room is long and elegant and you instantly feel transported to a cocoon of calm and relaxation on arrival. The staff are welcoming and the service flows seamlessly, with just the right amount of attentiveness without being over the top. We had the eight course degustation with wine pairing. Such a creative menu with lots of little surprises to delight. The quality of each course and attention to detail was incredible and we are still debating what our favourite course was. We thought it really added to the experience to have Cory Campbell, the chef, come to the table to explain several of the courses too. The sommelier was very knowledgeable, introducing us to wines we may not have otherwise ever thought to try, which really enhanced the meal. Even though it was eight courses, the portions were just right and we didn't go away feeling like we had over indulged. We can't wait to return!
Warm
We came to Auckland for our honeymoon. After making a reservation on the official website, it was suggested that we could also email to inform them your reservation or requests. They gave us a warm welcome gift and we had a wonderful dining experience. The food was made with local ingredients and was very creative. It was a great experience. Thank you, The Grove.
Birthday celebration
Lovely food, professional staff and perfect timing for the courses made for a special evening. Staff were not intrusive but were attentive for any requests. Food was a visual delight and tasted sensational. A wonderful evening
Wow wow and more wow
Just loved this place, from stepping into the restaurant reception we were greeted with a smile and you just get the feeling this is going to be something special. Boy oh boy, it didnβt disappoint, the service was great from each waiter and waitress. And the food was amazing too. Canβt fault The Grove, awesome π€©. We will be back again soon.
A pleasure.
Delicious Degustation. Fantastic atmosphere. And they really pamper you. This is the top restaurant in New Zealand. Fantastic food and very extensive selection of wine which the sommelier will be happy to guide you through.
Excellence at its best !!
Wow wow wow from start to finish! We did the 8 course degustation menu it was quite expensive but well worth it, talk about getting bang for your buck. Service was impeccable I swear we had about 8 different people serving us through the evening. We absolutely wanted for nothing. So amazed that a chef of such obvious high calibre would have time to come out to help explain some of the courses to us. Cory is obviously very passionate about what he does and it shows. Thank you Grove for such an enchanted evening π₯
Worth every dollar
Food, drinks, service everything was absolutely amazing. we really enjoyed everything and would definitely go back.
Family birthday
We had a fabulous evening. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive but not OTT. It was not noisy so we could easily hear each other. We had a great table for 8 in a corner. It was perfect for a special occasion.
Best food and service in Auckland
This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had- the staff were super friendly and knowledgable and it made the whole evening so memorable. It's so refreshing to find somewhere like this in Auckland where every element is so premium and all the smallest touches are thought of. The Smokey Pokey and caviar bumps were highlights! Can't wait to go back.
Anniversary Celebration
We had a superb dinner on Saturday night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. From the greeting when we arrived to the wonderful food over the evening, everything was faultless. I complement the restaurant on its staff training, an international crew, all were delightful and knowledgeable about the food and wine showcased throughout the evening. I highly recommend The Grove for a special occasion or occasions when you are looking for a wonderful night out.
The full package!
This was my first ever fine dining experience and what an incredible place to start with. From the moment we entered the door, the team were extremely welcoming, guiding us through the process and explaining each course. The effort each person put into making our experience as seamless and comfortable as possible was incredible. It felt as though every element was considered to ensure the perfect atmosphere. Each portion was delicious, curated with the deepest of consideration and artistry. Made celebrating my birthday so special and I will be raving about this place for years to come!
A Memorable Experience
We were a group of 4, 1st time visitors to The Grove and we had the 8 course degistation. The food was a taste sensation from start to finish. Every dish was beautifully presented and the service was impeccable. Thank you for such a fantastic dining experience. We will not forget our evening at The Grove.
Only go for 8 courses. What an amazing experience.
The team at The Grove deserve their position as number 1 in these rankings. With high expectations for our special occasion, they delivered and showed us how high our expectations can be set for future experiences. After the 2nd set of amuse bouse I had my money's worth and the evening could have finished then. At the end of our third course my partner and I joked, " We need to either be poor, or starve" not knowing how we will return to our home kitchen and cook zucchini again. All, and I mean all, dishes surprised. The dishes also were delicately balanced with so many subtle elements that completed the courses concept. I also enjoyed how comfortable my partner was, she is often intimidated by fine dinning, only to remember this fact after I reminded her as we walked to the car. I cannot recommend The Grove enough for your special evenings. Only go for the 8 courses, as you'll regrett not enjoying the extra menu items, and leave the rest to the Chef. Thank you all who made our night special.
Impressed
What an impressive dining experience. The mood music and lighting were at just the right levels.The wait staff and the sommelier were attentive, informed and without gush. The food presentation, moments of creative drama and tantalisation of the taste buds would have to place The Grove (in my opinion) as currently the best restaurant in Auckland.
An Exceptional Experience
We had a fantastic wine dinner experience at the Grove. The food was exceptional, and the wine paired perfectly with the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Best in Auckland
Fantastic meal and great service. We eat out a lot and couldnβt fault anything. Highly recommended for a special meal out
amazing
I loved the food and wine. I want to visit again. The eel lamb was especially delicious. The wines recommended by the sommelier went well with the food and we had a great time.
Best restaurant in Auckland
Everything is excellent here: the food (of course), the selection of wine and the service. The only downside for us is that the music is (as usual these days) a little too loud.
Looking for the best restaurant in New Zealand?
Take it from a local - this is the best restaurant in New Zealand, the top dining experience you can have which wonβt leave you disappointed. I highly recommend the Grove for an evening of gastronic delights and surprises.
Unforgettable experience
We had an amazing Dinner out with friends. From start to finish. Outstanding. Service was incredible. The team at the grove explained each dish and how to consume it, weather its by hand, fork spoon. The timing of our food was also impressive. Our night didn't feel rushed at all. The chefs did a fantastic job with the food. The menu is well balanced with powerful flavours that will leave your mouth wanting more. Their attention to details is top class. From Service to food to wine. Amazing
The Grove - Amazing, incredible, awesome, stupendous.......
We had never been to Auckland before, being from Adelaide SA, and we wanted to visit a perfect example of fine dining as a special treat for us both...thank you Google and Trip Advisor. We found the perfect place, in fact, The Grove is probably better than perfect. I used to review a lot on Trip Advisor but haven't done so for quite a while, but our time at the Grove was so good, I promised the crew there I would come out of 'retirement' to post a review. The night was all we wanted it to be but more importantly the food, wine and service were all just incredible. The wait staff were amazing, our Italian Sommelier was a pleasure to deal with (and thought my choice of wines was appropriate for the meal ahead and more importantly [and very much appreciated] he didn't recommend a $600 bottle of wine). The tasting snacks at the start were all amazing and the attention to detail in their preparation incredible - just wow! The standout being the Salted Venison - I have never tasted anything so mouth watering and delicate - like nothing I have ever tasted and something that just whet my appetite - wow. The eel was exception too. Working our way through the rest of the degustation was an absolute treat. The crayfish, kingfish and duck were superb, the lamb and beef divine. What also impressed me were the explanations the waitstaff provided for each dish and the time they took to answer any questions, nothing was too much trouble. What was equally impressive were the alternative dishes provided for my wife, who doesn't eat some foods, whereby the Grove provided excellent alternatives as opposed to just the vegetarian or vegan options many fine restaurants choose to provide. The desserts were excellent as well and it was worth relaxing after dinner with a Michter's Small Batch bourbon where we got to have decent chat with our lovely Sommelier (whose name I unfortunately don't know but thank you for your time - my friend). All up - incredible! We loved it. It was a special night and a lasting memory of Auckland. Another treat was being provided with a copy of the menu signed by all the staff as a memento of our night. The Grove - you guys did great!!!! Thank you.
Top-notch service and wonderfully creative food are the
Top-notch service and wonderfully creative food are the highlights here, surely one of the best restaurants New Zealand has to offer. I've had many wine-pairing dinners, but the matches here were absolutely stellar, perhaps the best I've ever encountered. Great hospitality by the owner and the entire staff.
French staff, great wine list and a desire to emulate great
French staff, great wine list and a desire to emulate great European cuisine. The pre-set menu is tailored to NZ pallets, namely everything is very salty. Very sexy in Aukland but some work ahead before Michelin drops a star.
We chose the 8 course experience and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We snagged a last minute reservation based on online reviews and an in person confirmation from a couple that I met on a tour. I will warn you, the experience isn't cheap, but if you're a foodie and you enjoy food experiences go ahead and take the plunge. The total experience takes about 3 hours as you are being presented with individual courses and a palate cleanse. We didn't opt for the wine pairing but I'm told it's a great choice. I thoroughly enjoy food but rarely venture outside of my comfort zone when it comes to consuming certain animals but I did and was quite surprised. I'd definitely say add this experience on your list if visiting New Zealand.
The environment is very inviting.
The food and wine list was epic. It was all a tasting experience. From snacks, to an 8 coarse meal and then dessert. The diversity of the flavors and presentation blew my mind. I am from the states and the style of food I received tonight I have never come across. The staff was so pleasant and answered all of my questions. And the wine list was so extensive. The gentleman knew exactly how to help me and we had a wonderful conversation about what was best for the courses. A must for visit.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue? |
|
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
