We walked in without a reservation on a Wed night and was shown directly to our table. Our jackets were taken to hang by the door and that was the level of constant helpful service we had throughout the night. We had mains and dessert. Both courses were flavourful and tasty. However, nothing to rave about - hence why I... More

Anniversary dinner so had the degustation with matching wines. 95 out off 100. Dinner was amazing and wines were perfect match. Very busy and wines were out of sync with each course. Wine was poured and 10 minutes later we are still wilting for the food. Cannot fault the degustation. Would highly recommend. Except there was no personal touch. Very... More

We selected The Grove as one of two dinner restaurants during our short Auckland visit, and were glad for it. The location is excellent, 4-5 blocks from most places in the CBD, and the decor is modern austere. Noise levels were low to moderate the night we were there. Service was excellent. Waiters understood the menu and were eager to... More

Lunch with an important client. The meal and service was superb - would be Michelin two star! Lovely surroundings, not noisy and impeccable presentation. This is easily the best restaurant in Auckland. $$$ but worth every cent.

We recently went to the Grove for my wife's birthday. This was the last night of six weeks of touring New Zealand and dining out almost every night. We dined at some very good restaurants throughout New Zealand but none could beat the Grove. From the moment we arrived to the time we left we felt special by all the... More

The Grove is consistently great with awesome service and incredible food. We had some overseas business colleagues in town, and they were very impressed with the quality of food and service.
