The Cookhouse

Fabulous cocktails and delicious food. Friendly service. Great local place to enjoy with friends.

Good location, good service and very reasonably priced lunch! Thoroughly enjoyed a unhurried catch up lunch with an out of town friend for lunch. Very pleasant staff and atmosphere.

Food was briliant. However let it was down by terrible untrained staff with no menu knowledge and very unprofessional. Manager didnt want to deal with our complaint which was even more frustrating

I used to be a big fan of this place, but the service was very ordinary on my most recent visit. Too many tables squashed into the main dining room making the flow awkward. Food is good, but, there needs to be more options that are not all fried food options.

Long service food one hour to arrived and fish uncooked ribs not available when it is in the ads outside, very poor service never again

Great, friendly, timely service. Good choice on the menu. Food was pretty good but not as good as previous visits in the past 2 years.

This was such a nice restaurant and I'll happily go again. Staff were friendly and effiencent and food was delicious! Well priced and just a Great experience!

Wagyu Burgers were o.k but way overpriced & small , the frozen chips were dissapointing. The Risotto was dry & tasted only of peppper .

Was ok bit over priced fr what it is foods very basics services was good and the happy hour is always good, worth a few drinks

We were not that satisfied about the Cook house. There was too much back ground noise, the lamb was too fat, and the fish was overcooked.

Nice restaurant great location John Dory fish was a bit tough and was hard to get the staffs attention at times but not a bad restaurant the other dishes were excellent

Very disappointing meal. Had to wait 50mins for food after ordering only main courses, and the other tables seemed to have similar waits - not good enough for a Friday evening. Presumably a kitchen issue but no reason or apology given by floor staff, seemed to be no-one co-ordinating. Food itself was bland - mashed potato with saffron quite tasteless. Would not return.

Lunch time service and food were great. Will be back again.

A bit noisy unfortunately - Food is ok, big portion but nothing exceptional. It is still enjoyable for a school night to have dinner there

$10 lunch meal is great and always offer variety even vegetarian Service is always commendable and there's great options for drinks overall we come back here for more

I love the atmosphere at The Cookhouse. The food is really nice. We had some tapas and got some of the 'large plates' to share. I especially loved the pulled lamb risotto!!

Fantastic location & food, will definitely be back. Besides the Tapas we had for entrée being too salty the rest of the meals were delicious.

Relaxed friendly service, interesting food, pleasant atmosphere. Very popular place in top location so book early. Great range of drinks and cocktails reduced during happy hour for both bar and restaurant.

Great food and awesome atmosphere. Highly recommended to any one.

We ordered the eye fillet steak & it was really tasty, juicy & tender. Service was good too. Will surely go back to this restsurant.

A neighbourhood gem. Prices were reasonable. Kids eat free on weekends is a drawcard. Wait staff are not very knowledgeable when questioned on the menu.

steak was well over and staff were not very good. i think that the service could improve and the kitchen should know how to cook a steak if they offer it.

Great food and great service. The staff really went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. We will be back!

I have been to The Cookhouse a couple of times now and have never been disappointed. It has a relaced atmosphere with funky tunes. The food is great gastro pub style that is well cooked, not overcomplicated and delicious. The staff are friendly and they have the best Espresso Martinis in town!!!

I really liked the food and atmosphere/decor though the pork dish was a tad tough & the cuttlefish was a bit rubbery. The atmosphere was pleasant. The Barrumandi main was delicious. So were the jalapeños entree. The only main issue was the wait staff was disorganised. 3-4 different waitresses came to our table and we didn't know who was for our table. Also there was this waitress with French accent that kept on looking at us and smiling nonstop for no reason. It felt a bit weird. It made me feel uncomfortable as she kept on passing our table and staring & smiling and when she talked to us she talked as if we were mates instead of customers. I just think that they should train the staff a bit more in more professional service. But u would recommend.

Dinner 16th Feb. We arrived to be greeted by very friendly staff. Our service was great and the food, fabulous. Fresh and cooked very well. The restaurant was full and we will be there again soon!!!

Great service and good food helped make a birthday lunch very enjoyable. Were seated downstairs with a good through breeze on a hot day. Traffic can be a little noisy but not enough to interrupt conversation. Upstairs looked great for a private function - would go back.

Lovely place however the steak was too salty, and has been previously too. Nice local hub with a friendly vibe and service is great, thanks!

Friendly service. I had the eye fillet - it was dry without a sauce or jus which I found unusual with the tiniest amount of brocollini.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and charming staff. This is not one of our favorite places to visit for dinner, thank you for a lovely evening.

Weekdays lunch special $10 meal is great and variety of choices It's always great coming here and recommend it to staff in UNSW Service is always great

I was disappointed in my meal - the haloumi cheese was far too salty and parts of most of the pieces were burnt. The rocket leaves that came with it were very wilted. The previous time I had this same dish, I did not experience these issues at all.

I booked a lunch for a work colleague's farewell via Quandoo. This is my second time using an online booking service .. the other was Dimmi... The Cookhouse do not seem to be aware of bookings made online. Even though the booking was not in their handwritten book - fortunately there was a table available. The lunch specials are attractively priced and served to the table of eight in good time. The selection we had made were all fresh and delicious. It was an easy and enjoyable occasion. I recommend that you book via phone to be 100% certain.

A good place for lunch in Randwick, although a little noisy as it is so popular. A good wine list and tap water served in vodka bottles!

Had a booking at 8pm on a Tuesday which was Eat all you Can Ribs.. and they ran OUT of ribs.. on a the day of their special.. That and the fact that it took 40mins for our order of 3mains and 1 side to arrive when there were a lot of empty tables around. Ive been to restaurants and bars where ive received my order for 5 -8 dishes faster than that. For the price i expected better. Other than those everything else, the waitresses and the quality of the food were very friendly and on point. The place has a very nice ambience and unique interior designs. Would probably call next time first though to make sure they havent ran out of any dishes that i am looking forward to.

Excellent. Really good food. Great atmosphere. We were upstairs which was nice, looking out over the street. Maybe live music like a guitarist would be good upstairs. Nothing too intrusive.

Food is great but service was very poor. Ended up leaving instead of ordering more food and drinks because no one was interested in taking our order.

Lots of great options on the menu, with quick service and a good location. Highly recommend you book for a Friday night, it gets busy.

Very enjoyable experience however as the Cookhouse was busy at the time we had to wait awhile for the lunch to arrive. But overall lovely venue and food. Maybe next time might pre order food due to limited time

We regularly go to The Cookhouse for meals and for Thursday night's trivia. Always good food, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely recommend :)
