It took them a few minutes to get our table ready, and they were a bit confused about our Banquet menu pre-order at first, but once we sorted it out everything ran smoothly. Food came out insanely fast and was absolutely delicious (and very generous portions as well)
Beer menu excellent. Food good but not great. Would definitely go again. Good atmosphere. Service was good. Were told that we had to move on as we were 6-8 dining session
Amazing food, the baked scallops are the best. The wine list is like an encyclopedia of wine around the world. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.
Really Delish food! Great service. Our server was very knowledgeable and recommended some great dishes despite one of us having a seafood allergy. Highly recommend going here.
The friendly staff were very helpful and met our needs The food was hot and delicious and the wait for it was not long. I hadn't been for a while so it was god to see it had not lost its attraction
Vibrant atmosphere, imaginative food with interesting combinations, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and literally books of alcoholic choices! I cannot recommend this eatery highly enough for a wonderful dining experience.
Amazing food. Bit slow on the drinks service (had to keep asking for water) but overall a great experience. Best dish of the night was the scallops.
Good atmosphere, drinks were also very good. Food was slightly disappointing. The price was reasonable within being cheap. The staff were both attentive and helpful, particularly with food allergies
Cookie is an institution for a reason. It's amazing! Every experience is unique with a huge menu that always delights.
Great food and excellent vibe. Really enjoyed our dinner. The staff were very helpful and their recommendations were excellent. We would definitely come back again.
Drink service was slow compared to the rest of the restaurant. long wait to be served at bar. Food was exceptional, best fried chicken ever!
Always great food at Cookie. The five spice chicken is a flash version of KFC and the scallop entrée was awesome. And they have the best beer list in town!
Flavours were very tasty but presentation of the meals was less than you would expect for a restaurant with such a great rep. Great value but they need to prepare the produce with more care and take better cuts of meat.
Fantastic place to eat. Food was amazing, service excellent and cocktails were unbelievable! The rooftop bar was great. Can imagine what it's like when the weather is good. The only negative was that there way too many cocktails to choose from.
The staff here are among the best I have experienced, always friendly & accomodating. They always get the order right using memory only, the food is fast and fresh. one of our favorite restaurants in Melbourne. Great vibe, great food...
I haven't been to Cookie for a few years... & I still love it - such a great vibe! Great menu, beer list, wine list etc. The food wasn't as amazing as I remember it, but still really good.
We love Cookie, it is quirky, food is wonderful (including plenty of choices for vegetarians) and we love the history of Curtin House, the old Communist Party HQ and an SP betting shop. View from the little balconies over Swanston Street and the tops of the Plane trees has a great Melbourne feel. Friday lunch was busy and quite noisy. We had requested a table near the windows but our assigned table was at the other end - OK though. Staff were busy but always obliging and very friendly and helpful. Our friends who had not been there previously, said that they really enjoyed it.
Table was not ready, was made to wait, poor service and felt like it was 40 degrees inside the place. Ended up leaving without waiting
Excellent Food! Service was reasonable, and could be improved if more staff were available. Unfortunately it was Mothers Day and was packed. Lovely ambiance and staff catered well for our daughter when we got their attention. All in all a great experience and we are sure to return! On another note as they say they do not having takeaway license you can not get a doggy bag!
Tasty and spicy food as mentioned online. Kids friendly. Ok service.
What an awesome night, with a great atmosphere, most amazing food and absolutely spectacular service, We will definitely return when back in Melbourne, thank you!
Great service, brilliant food and an awesome selection of craft beers on tap. Cookie is our favourite Melbourne hang out
Great service and food. Huge range of beer and wines available
Cool atmosphere. Great drinks menu. Food servings were large. Spicier than expected! Staff friendly and helpful. Quick and efficient. Will be coming back to try more.
Food was amazing, great atmosphere for a girls night out!
Fab service - Arrived early so we had a drink at the bar. When we were seated, the wait staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, our meals were served quickly but we didn't feel at all rushed.
Went there for drinks to catch upwith friends and got forced to buy food or get kicked out and wouldn't even split bills. Never again
You just cannot pick a bad meal from this menu. So many great options that if you are a regular, you can be assured that if you pick your 1 favourite and few new ones, you'll always be well fed. Massive kudos go to the wait staff who are more than happy to give you a sample of a few different wonderful ales to help your decision about the ones you'd most like to enjoy with dinner. I come to Melbourne for this place!
This was my 3rd time to Cookie. We're from Newcastle, NSW and do a yearly trip to Melbourne. We always make time for Cookie. Food, amazing. Cocktails, amazing. Service, 10/10. Atmosphere, perfect. Not one complaint.
This place never fails, unlike some of restaurants that start off sparkling and disappoint after the first six months. Great food, great service, great atmosphere - as good as its always been.
we were told we could stay til 8pm but were pushed out at 7.45pm. i found that quite rude. especially as when i rang to confirm the guy said it would be until 8
Excellent restaurant with fantastic service, the range of food was so great that we just opt for the feed me option.
Excellent service, ambience and delicious food. We enjoyed a lamb curry and spicy cashew nut salad paired with a bottle of the organic tempranillo. Yum!
Great food, very tasty and serves very fast. Only downside is it is bit noisy due to the layout of this place. Will definitely come back again.
One of my favourite restaurant/ bar in Melbourne. Loved the service, food and the wide selection of beers and wines. Ordered pad thai, fried calamari and crispy pork salad with fried egg & celery salad. The pork wasn't very crispy which was a slight let down, however the other two dishes were excellent.
Fantastic food, a great atmosphere and wonderful friendly service throughout our sitting.
Cookie is always a fantastic experience. Incredibly good food, great choice of beers, and very knowledgeable and helpful staff who are happy to help navigate the food and drink choices.
Cookie always has great food, delicious drinks and a very Melbourne vibe, however on this visit service could be a little more attentive, especially since it was a mid week dinner.
Great food, wonderful service, fabulous space! The tapioca balls were fabulous, as was the fat noodles with duck and the lamb curry. Can't wait for the minced beef dish to return to the menu.
Bring back the chicken mince ball green curry this was our favorite and its just not the same made from chicken thighs. Flavour of the curry is still nice.
