    I had a very pleasant meal here with my family. The staffs were attentive and the food was fabulous. The lamb was tender and the cheesecake was scrumptious. My only wee bit of feedback is that the table could have been wiped between our courses, simply because it was full of breadcrumbs from the start of the meal…

    I was so lucky to have my birthday dinner at One Tree Grill. It would be the best choice ever! I couldn’t count how many times we said “Oh My God! It’s so good!” But we were so impressed by the rich flavor of every dish! It’s amazing!! Thanks to the chef and the great service from every staff! I have recommended it to my dear friends and would definitely come again.

    One Tree Grill has been a favourite of mine for more than 2 decades and I would consider that this is my top 3 restaurants of all time. One Tree Grill is a fantastic dining spot in Auckland that truly lives up to its reputation. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming and intimate, with dim lighting and soft music that creates a romantic ambience. You just can't find fault with the service from start to finish. It is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff that are happy to recommend dishes and offer their expertise. The food is simply outstanding, with an impressive menu that includes both classic and innovative dishes. We had Pork Belly, Lamb rump & eye fillets for mains and every bit of food on each dishes are carefully presented to make the entire dining experience delightful. The wine list (as well as their underfloor cellar) is also impressive, featuring a great selection of New Zealand and international wines. Overall, One Tree Grill is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Auckland.

    We dined at One Tree Grill on 30/7/21 for my husband’s pre-birthday celebrations whilst visiting Auckland recently. The whole experience from the moment we arrived was enjoyable. Drinks at the bar to start off with expert guidance on pre-dinner drinks. The subdued lighting that created a romantic setting. Choosing our food via their tablets was fun. Our table seating was well spaced from fellow diners and our waiter and waitress were lovely without being intrusive. The food was yummy. We over indulged but it was worth it. For that special occasion … to treat your loved one … to celebrate an event or just to enjoy good food and wine and a beautiful setting - you can’t go past One Tree Grill. We live in the Bay of Plenty which is probably a good thing as we’d be here every week I think! Thanks for the experience. We will visit again next time we go to the big smoke.

    Food is tasty, but for $45 for a beef short rib, I can get that elsewhere for cheap and much filling... Would be good if it is part of a tasting menu... It is still a very old fashioned cooking taste... I would say it is almost boring... good for old upper class people who just want to remember the good old time to show off some money..

    If there was .5 then I would definitely give them 4.5. I really enjoyed the food especially the dessert - fijoa and black berry mille feuille. It is just phenomenal🥰

    Service was really good and the food in general were cooked nicely. The only let down was the dessert, it is usually the final dish that ties the whole dining experience, but the amount of each element was too much which made the dish very confusing in my opinion. Every element of the dessert was delicious, just when combined together, it didn’t have the synergy effect. Sorry :( otherwise, still a very nice fine dining restaurant to check out !

    Top notch dining experience. I could not fault the food, wine or service. Food was delicious and the quality of service and attention to detail was outstanding. Highly recommended.

    Fresh ingredients with sophisticated cooking technique that weaved all the right flavours together. I like how the right food energetic is put together, nothing was too cold or too hot, which sometimes can upset your digestive system despite the great taste. Meats were cooked to perfection, especially the rare steak (unfortunately no photo). The deserts were gobbled up so fast before any photography was taken place. The deconstructed cheese cake stood out as the full picture of delicious cake was able to come together when placed in the mouth. We would definitely come back!

    The menu here is so appealing we had to choose the degustation menu to get a little taste of a lot, and we were not disappointed. The presentation good that I had to take a photo of every course! And the taste of every bite was divine. Matched with a nice wine, great ambiance and impeccable service this was a night to be remembered. Easy online booking and plenty of nearby parking.

    We had the most atrocious experience to date. This restaurants caters to adults only. We were sat away from the restaurant right next to the toilets. The manager kept shushing our children the entire time we were there. We also got billed for an anniversary dessert which we didn’t ask for and was charged for. Disappointed, the whole team there made us feel inferior like we didn't belong. We would never recommend it to anyone else with the way we were treated today. Also on a side note, an entree and a main course took almost three hours. A paying customer with a bill of $350 at the end of the night should not have been treated any differently.

    From classic fine dining with a mixture of iPad menus, this place has got some wonderful spreads with delicious meats. We had a great waiter with a bit of down to Earth humour which really brought us into our comfort zones. Loved every moment dining here.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - you can tell a lot of thought and effort goes into the service and presentation. Food: We ordered the six course degustation. High quality with timely delivery between each course. The food was perfectly cooked and presented. Service: Promptly greeted and seated upon arrival. All staff were very well presented and polite. Atmosphere: Well presented and clean. Cosey, with each table having its own candle to top off the experience. Background music was enjoyable and not too loud for quiet conversation.

    An incredible meal and great service. I had searched up “best restaurants in auckland” and this restaurant came highly recommended. Me and my friend (who has coeliac disease) thought it would be a great place to celebrate her residency visa being approved. The gluten free options were abundant! Thank you team for a great evening 😇

    Outstanding food and service. Due to covid lockdowns our wedding gift voucher was out of date, but generously they were willing to honour it. Three delicious courses followed. I definitely recommend the lamb.

    My partner and I came here pre-lockdown to try their degustation menu. He's a meat-eater and really enjoyed every dish. Two dishes were a miss for me [a pescatarian] as they were bland. However, compared to the other restaurants that offer degustation, One Tree Grill is reasonably priced. The wait staff were also attentive and friendly, and the overall experience was enjoyable.

    Food and service was absolutely spot on! I love that i got to celebrate my birthday here. For starters, we were welcomed very warmly and led properly to our table and got offered to get our coats stowed for us. Then we were provided tablets to browse the menu but got explained the seasonal items. Our waitress was attentive but not in-your-face. I love that she continuously topped up our water. The bread to start with was done well, truffle butter is really yum. Our entrees were delicious, mains superb and dessert was fabulous. I would give this place a 10 if i could, and won’t hesitate to bring friends and family back. Thank you so much for making my birthday so special ❤️

    This restaurant is exceptional. Such an all-round wonderful experience. Our main waiter was terrific. We were in a side room (six of us), which meant we could relax and be our silly selves without annoying other patrons. Every meal was explained. This place is highly professional with exquisite artistic plating of food not to mention the flavours. Go their for a special occasion - it won't disappoint. It was a birthday in our case.

    Amazing place, great service, desserts are out of this world! I just wanted to add another occasion we visited for, second time making me come back: we took our overseas family for a New Years Eve dinner, party of 7. More selective menu or rather focused menu given the night which I was not worried about in the slightest. This was the best culinary experience of 2023 we had, thank you team. Fine dining without uptight atmosphere. From the brilliant service to the last dessert crumb, everything was fabulous. Will be back for the tasting menu.

  • 5/5 Reina F. 2 months ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    The meals were cooked to perfection. I had the market fish and remember thinking this was the best fish I've eaten, ever. My husband had the Angus steak and I could tell he was impressed to say the least. You will have your taste buds singing thanks and praises with every bite. I was worried about the portion size of the mains, judging by the photos online, but they were perfect portions. We were both satisfied. Last, but not least, the service and atmosphere were impeccable. Thank you for making our special night that much more memorable.

    Food was delicious- we had the 3 course menu. We asked if we could have a different dessert which was no trouble at all. They even brought out 3 truffles and a candle for my partners birthday. Service was amazing. Attentive but not overbearing, chatty but not over familiar. Food was evenly spaced out - nothing rushed, nothing too slow.

  • 5/5 Rida V. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to One Tree Grill for our wedding anniversary after my husband went there for his work's Christmas function. We did the degustation menu and the food was out of this world. Each dish was better than the previous one but the two that stand out was the tuna and chocolate dessert. Absolutely heavenly!

  • 5/5 Destiny T. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend One tree grill, the food and service was amazing! We did wait about an hour+ for our food BUT they were a full house and it was such an amazing relaxing environment so we didnt mind, and when the food came out, it didn't look rushed and the meat was cooked perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed our night and were so thankful they were able to fit us in last minute. Will definitely visit again when visiting Auckland in the future.

  • 4/5 Amir P. 8 months ago on Google
    Overall, the main course was amazing, easily making it into my top 3 favorite foods. However, the dessert didn't quite reach the same level of excellence. The service was rather average, which was unexpected from a top-tier restaurant. There were instances of staff taking plates without asking for permission, and a few other details that indicated a lack of proper staff training. We enjoyed our time, especially if you're someone who appreciates good food. It's definitely a must-try if you enjoy fine dining experiences.

  • 3/5 Stephanie K. 6 months ago on Google
    For fine dining the food wasn't terrible. It tasted good enough but our mains took ages and both my partners pork belly and my beef was under cooked. Pork not crispy on top. My beef very rare when I requested med rare. Imo fine dining should cook everything to perfection. Cheesecake was very unbalanced as well. Entrees were nice. The salmon and beef tartar. Overall a decent experience, just didn't hit my expectations

  • 5/5 Josh W. 6 months ago on Google
    Checked out the menu beforehand and was really excited to get the beef tartar and I was not disappointed! This was amazing! The service here was really good, I had the steak slightly overdone but the staff made up for this to ensure a great experience! I recommend and would come again

    Best Restaurant in NZ! We had our wedding reception twice (family & friends separately) here at one tree grill because we could not think of any other place we wanted to be. Food was the BEST, service was AMAZING. We loved it and the guests loved it. Thank you to team one tree grill for making our special day more special and memorable! Definitely the best restaurant in NZ and we will be back soon!
