Reviews of One Tree Grill
V.
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.
R.
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.
N.
5 out of 5. Very nice staff and service. Drinks are unique and nice. Excellent food with decent amount. Nice and cosy atmosphere too.
P.
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 ❤️

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.
M.
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🥰
L.
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.
E.
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.
L.
One of the best restaurants we have visited in the Auckland region. The dining area is beautiful yet comfortable, and the menu is displayed on an iPad with images to help make your selection. The food was out of this world. We had the confit lamb belly and mushroom entrees, the pork belly and eye fillet steak for mains and the cardamom semifreddo for dessert. Each dish was well thought out and the flavours worked well together. The highlight was also the friendly yet professional and attentive servers we had, Antonio and another young kiwi gentleman. We were never left waiting long, they both topped up water glasses and cleared plates very quickly. Thank you for a lovely evening.
N.
Visited here again after a while. This place is top notch.
Everything from the ambience, the food, our attentive waiter was amazing. The food options are delicious.
The cocktails available are standard ones, but done very tastefully. Wide selection of beers and wine too.
Our waiter for very attentive and creative when accommodating food diet requirements. Very polite and professional.
Will definitely visit again.
A.
When I review a raved Nouvelle Cuisine such as One Tree Grill, the expectation on quality, freshness, service and authenticity is sky high, and today, they did not disappoint. Thank you for the memorable experience.
M.
Quite simply the best meal I have had in a very long time. I'll be returning
A.
Went here to celebrate my birthday and really enjoyed my experience. I'd call One Tree Grill a no frills fine dining experience. Their dishes are all on the "safe" side, but the flip side of that is there was no dishes that disappointed.
Very cool vibe and fitout, I liked the ambiance.
This next critique is largely personal, but I didn't like the fact that menus were tablets. Given how filthy phones are, should we really be sharing around tablets during a pandemic?
N.
Easily my favorite restaurant, a perfect high end Auckland/Kiwi dining experience. Delicious, creative dishes with a grounded and very accessible menu, outstanding yet relaxed and understated service, and a great suburban location, it's no wonder One Tree Grill has been crushing it for decades. My only wish is that they bring back the crayfish bisque!
F.
We had a fabulous experience here. Beautiful food and wine and lovely friendly service. I also really like the soft lights, comfortable seating and the windows opening out onto the tree-lined street. We can't wait to return!
J.
Had the most amazing NYE experience here! Superb 3 course set menu. It was delicious from start to finish. The service was impeccable…. One Tree Grill will now become my “special occasion” restaurant.
A.
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.
C.
What an amazing experience! This is our first time at One Tree Grill and we loved it. Right from the time we entered, our steward Nick was ever so friendly and welcoming. We were surprised by a couple of lovely chocolate truffles for our anniversary. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere and ambience superb. We will definitely come back!!
J.
Incredible food! Would definitely go back. Slightly on the pricier side.
M.
We had such a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner here! The food is AMAZING, the customer service is great, our waiter (Sam) was super professional and lovely. 5 stars all the way!
P.
Easily our favourite local restaurant. The team are genuinely welcoming and the food and service are of the highest standard. The private dining room and booth options are also great and worth a try.
P.
What a fantastic night out. Great service and the food was out of this world. The tablet ordering system made the process so easy and enjoyable. Will definitely be back!
A.
One of the top dining experiences in Auckland. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. We had the 3 course menu. All the courses were incredible, especially the confit lamb belly for the entree. My mouth waters just thinking about it again. Had the beef eye fillet for mains which was cooked to prefection. We cannot wait for the next time we can dine here and highly recommend this place to all of our friends and family.
C.
Straight-up the best place I have ever dined. Incredible service that was attentive without being intrusive, and the food was next level. The quality of the food was incredible with beautiful presentation.
k.
Came back to this place after 2.5 years away from NZ..menu may look standard to the eye but food is exquisite. Service is great. Place is very elegant.
Desserts beautiful
Wines very reasonable , we had the saltram barossa Shiraz which was only 68 a bottle but it packed a punch.
Vege dish (salt baked baby beets and butternut pumpkin agnolotti) were way over salted so msg to chef to back that off.
Would come here again.
G.
Great ambience, friendly and attentive staff, with delicious food that did not disappoint! Entree scallops were melt-in-your-mouth followed by juicy steak cooked to perfection! The dessert deliciously topped the palate off on a high! Definitely recommended!
s.
Amazing. Great delicious food with large servings. We had a la carte steak and dessert and was left really full and content
D.
Always a really good place to come to whenever I want to treat myself and the wife to a nice meal. We went for the degustation this time round and was not disappointed at all, although I felt the creation of the fish of the day was not quite there... the brown butter sauce and roasted tomatoes just didn't harmonize with the snapper).
The service is always impeccable and the interior atmosphere really makes you feel quite relaxed to enjoy the food.
Definitely one of the top restaurants in Auckland.
Z.
One of the best fine dinning places in Auckland! All dishes were well seasoning, beautifully presented and stunning too. Marvellous!
M.
The food and the service at One Tree Grill are consistently excellent. They have a great drinks range and a good selection of wines by the glass. Well worth a visit.
J.
Service where excellent and fully as to what you could wish for.
The recommend wine, as to our request for a full body of red, where an excellent one.
We started with the Scallops and the Lamb Belly.
Totally outstanding as to our taste. Love it!
As for our main we choose the Local Market Fish and the Lamb.
The Lamb where served as to my wish, rare. Once again, I loved it!
As for the fish it where cooked nicely, but, we didn't fancy the flavor of the sauce... So, nothing wrong with the cooking, just that it was just not as to our tasting.
We also ordered a side dish for our main course and tried the Truffled Cos Salad. Also, this one where nicely done, but not as to our tasting.
As for dessert we tried the Rhubarb and Custard. Not what I expected, but I did like it and finished it all.
My personal conclusion would be that the flavor variation could be slightly off.
It is either extremely good or it is somehow not right. Perhaps I wouldn't care so much if all dishes where somehow slightly off, but it stands out more when those other where so extremely good.
If I visit Auckland again I will for sure return to One Tree Grill.
M.
Came for a six course degustation lunch, each dish had lovely flavours, with beautiful food presentation. Prompt friendly service. Three entree dishes, a main and two desserts. So filling. Outstanding range of wines by the glass. Nice intimate surroundings- highly recommended.
J.
A great local restaurant with friendly attentive service and sophisticated menu. Perfect for a intimate dinner or just a small celebration, they have an excellent a la carte option or a tasting menu, which are equally delicious. A very smart use of an iPad as a drinks menu means you can see/read what you are ordering so you know what to expect. They are one of the few restaurants outside of Auckland Central that does fine dining well and affordable.
D.
Paul is THE BEST wait person I have ever come across . In this recent times when ppl think being behind a mask is literally being behind a mask of non engagement and perfunctory service , Paul shows us that genuine love of his job and his customers shows
. He is such an asset to the great food at OTG. I hope management at OTG take note and reward him accordingly . Iwatched him be consistent to all the tables . I experience his service 3 times so far and because of him I’ll be back and recommend OTG to everyone ! Brava to someone who obviously prides himself on his excellence .here mediocrity does not rule and for that I give u 10 STARS !
D.
Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic food and the service was great too. Beautiful ambience with the fire on a chilly night. Will definitely be back.
M.
Had a beautiful return to dining out at One Tree Grill last night. Perfect food and beverages. Excellent service and safety measures well and respectfully observed by staff and diners alike.
C.
Went here for a business dinner. Its a very lovely restaurant, with beautiful decor and surroundings. Rather than a menu you have a iPad to which actually is pretty cool idea making it easy to see the menu and or touch on the different tabs for entree, main, dessert and drinks etc. We ordered pretty much most entrees to share as well as the mains to share. The entrees were amazing definitely the highlight, go for the scallops if can only choose one, yum, yum. The mains were fantastic, especially the pork and lamb, wasn't too sure about the ravioli quite over powering. Overall a beautiful restaurant for couples and or groups.
M.
We've been to One Tree Grill before. And today's visit was just as awesome as always. This is a true fine dining place. Definitely book a table in advance as space fills up quickly. Street parking is available nearby. Then enjoy exquisite service. It starts with the menu which is a tablet. For each dish you not only get a picture but also suggestions for what drink, e.g. wine or beer, would work best with the dish. Staff is very friendly and helpful. As you'd expect for a restaurant at this level, service comes at the exact right time. Staff will not rudely interrupt your conversation: They have mastered the art of being present when you need them and leaving you alone when you don't. Food quality is fantastic. Depending on the season you may also be able to get specialties like Bluff oysters. If not, then just pick any of the other dishes, just any. They are all excellent and worth tasting. I've attached pictures of the salmon (entree), the duck breast (main) and the passion fruit mousse (dessert) to give you an impression. We'll definitely visit again for the next special occasion. Thank you to the entire crew for making this a wonderful evening!
C.
Amazing experience here! The food was fabulous & the service was great! Would highly recommend for a special night.
J.
Both our first time at this restaurant and it was amazing. I had the Lamb Belly (entree), Free Range Pork Belly (mains) and Tonka Bean Brûlée (dessert) and my partner had Seared Scallops (entree), Grass Fed Hereford Eye Fillet (mains) & Passionfruit Mousse (dessert). We also had the Brown Butter Potato Mash as a side dish - OMG this was the best Potato Mash ever. All dishes were wonderful, enjoyed them all, good serving sizes as well. The staff are very friendly & attentive. This is a great restaurant for that special occasion or if you just want to dine out and have a wonderful meal.
J.
Booked via first table, and was amazed by the food and service. We will definetly be back! Favorites were the steak and scallops.
K.
Got there on a friday afternoon (17:30) and they got a place for me to eat.
The waitress was incredible nice and recommended a lot of stuff they had as special this day.
The interior looks pretty nice, its more a higher class restaurant, so better dress appropriately.
I had the angus steak and potatoes with sour cream.
The steak was grilled very good, the chef knows how to cook it medium (maybe most people like it that way). But it was a bit soaky, and had a lot of fat. The sauce and the spices fitted perfect, so no complains about the steak in general.
A.
Excellent food, impecable service. All around one of the best dining experiences I've had in New Zealand. Would recommend for a special occasion
B.
High standards as always. They have recently changed the menu which makes me miss the old menu even more when they provided basic grill of meat for a simple quality meal. They get the basics right which is so important. Their food is consistently good, and so is their service.
D.
Omg. Its been ages since my last visit but after lockdown mayhem, this was the first fine dining stop. And what a FINE DINING EXPERIENCE it was.

P.
Excellent service. Value for money. Good portion size. We all enjoyed each course. Will definitely go back.
M.
My friends and I had the 3-course set meal, and we all agreed that it was the best food we've had in our whole holiday. Don't miss out on the Hereford grass-fed eye fillet on medium rare, as well as the lamb belly Tender and flavorful! Service was excellent too; they're very attentive. Top-notch restaurant.
C.
Great food, great service, expensive but worth the experience.
This is the third time here, incredible food, impeccable service I always really enjoy it here.
I can't even describe how delicious the food is, simply amazing.
Y.
We went to One Tree Grill for our pre Christmas family dinner on the 11th of December with our group of 10 people. The restaurant itself was very classy and our table laid out beautifully. The service was excellent and the food very delicious and to a goumet standard (the duck was slightly undercooked but otherwise delicious). We had a wonderful evening and I would highly recommend One Tree Grill to my friends.
R.
Great food. The staff really knows their wine. I had no idea what serrano we but it tasted great.
Enjoyed the 6 course degustation.

On behalf of Patricia & Walter M
We hired the private room for my special birthday in March 2021 and it excelled all my expectations. The food was superb, staff and the attention paid to myself and guests was excellent. Special thanks to our waiter, Patrick, and our chef who made my evening the best experience possible. We have dined in many good restaurants throughout the world and would rate this as one of the best. Above all we were never disturbed throughout the evening and made to feel that we were extremely welcome and very special guests. Thank you to all staff.
D.
Lovely treat evening out. Fabulous venue - from cocktails at the bar looking down into the cellar to lots of great spots around the restaurant to eat. Attentive wait staff, perfect recommendations - loved the beef fillet. The iPad menus were perfect and a great way to see our choices. And wow what a extensive drinks list!
C.
Amazing service right from booking to the night itself. The food was amazing. Very friendly staff and their customer service wonderful.So very impressed!
J.
The degustation menu with paired wines was out of this world! Every course was exquisite, both in visual appeal, and most definitely in flavour. The service was attentive yet unobtrusive. Overall a wonderful experience, and would definitely recommend it to others for any special occasion.
E.
A fantastic evening with my family. Friendly staff and great service! Recommend that you try the eye fillet steak and Hapuka. The mushroom entree and the chocolate dessert was also to die for!
Would recommend anyone to try and will be coming back again!

This place is very delicious, and the food menu and wine menu are both very good. The ambience is perfect for dates and special occasions. The prices on the dishes are a little bit pricey, but worth it. Highly recommend for any special occasion.

Neat grill restaurant in a suburban area with easy street parking. Great ambience and excellent quality of food with beautiful presentation.

Both our first time at this restaurant and it was amazing. I had the Lamb Belly (entree), Free Range Pork Belly (mains) and Tonka Bean Brûlée (dessert) and my partner had Seared Scallops (entree), Grass Fed Hereford Eye Fillet (mains) & …

Despite covid restrictions I was still able to celebrate my 65th birthday with friends outside thankyou to the amazing food delivery service from One Tree Grill. The desserts were a work of art and almost sacrilege to consume them
a.
100% worth every penny the time they take to look after every guset. Highly recommend.

One Tree Grill is one of the best restaurants in Auckland and it has been one of our favs for years. If you want solid good food, i would highly recommend. The restaurant itself and the service are always superb! We cannot wait to go back there again!
P.
My favourite restaurant! The menu system is amazing, allowing you to view what your meal will look like, see all the ingredients and select the perfect wine or beer match through an ipad. The meal looks exactly as it does in the picture and is always delicious. It doesn't get any better. The staff are always great as well.
J.
We were a table of 5 and received awesome service throughout. Meals were excellent, good size portions and well presented. We thought last years food, service, atmosphere was FABULOUS and they didn't disappoint this year. Ten out of ten, two years running. If you are looking for that extra something this is the place to try, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy, : )
h.
A professional dining restaurant, doing with a good foods with service, I love the steak, nice and juicy with mid-rare,and the dessert it is fashion and tasty.
N.
This is the first restaurant that comes to my mind when I think about a special occasion.
Everything about dining here is perfect. You get served by a huge smile as you walk in, hand them your coat and get seated. The convenience of their tablet menu. The atmosphere is luxurious, yet cozy and comfortable. I am a very picky eater myself, yet this is the only restaurant I’ll happily order the 6-course degustation menu, which has always been an amazing experience for my taste buds. Portion sizes are good for a fine dining restaurant. The amount of attention we get from the wait staff is just right.
Obviously a costly meal, but well worth it.
I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars!
T.
Amazing each time we go there and last night was no different.
Service is top notch but the food is even better
Partner was very impressed and enjoyed the whole experience from start to the end.
We will definitely be back again :)
J.
Amazing restaurant!!! Definitely do the degustation menu with the matching wines. Definitely definitely worth it. I’ve attached a photo of the menu and the service is really good.
D.
One Tree Grill has been out favourite local place to dine for about 20 years- maybe longer- as we started eating there when it was one very small restaurant. We ate there last night- the staff are top notch and the food delicious- I had the lamb dish- so tender and lovely accompanying vegetables as well- delicious!
N.
Exceptional service and wonderful food. Look forward to our next visit.
M.
Delicious meal, attentive staff - perfect for my wife's birthday.
We particularly liked that it wasn't too noisy, and the tablet for a menu was quite cool.
J.
This was our first time at this lovely restaurant. It is beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. In fact, we all said it was the best steak we have eaten since being in NZ. The staff was attentive and so very kind. We will definitely recommend One Tree Grill to others. Thank you!
M.
We were a disorganised bunch, booking for 15 but not everyone turning up then others turning up! The staff were patient, efficient and attentive to our every whim.
We ordered from the set three-course dinner. This was amazing for everyone...beautifully cooked and presented - interesting flavours and combinations and decent portions....and they offer the best wine to go with every dish.
This is the next day and I've told so many people already because you can bet on a fantastic meal in tasteful surroundings.
We were celebrating a special occasion and this place totally supported the event for our family. Thanky you to all the staff.
m.
This is a special place. The service and the knowledge of staff around food, wine choices is tops .Decor is nice.
Presenation and flavor of food and options is not only pleasing to the eye but to the palate. This is the place we go to to celebrate special occasions. Hope to be there again soon because we enjoy it so much.
G.
Wow! First time in One Tree Grill and gave us an amazing experience! Delicious dishes and exceptional presentation. From the entrée to the dessert the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding!
The friendly service we received was delightful and very professional.
We will definitely be back very soon! :)
R.
Always a wonderful dining experience here. The service is faultless
L.
Another Covid interrupted celebration was saved by an exquisite delivery dinner from One Tree Grill. Nearly as good as eating on site but either way the food is always superb - thankyou.
A.
This restaurant must have the most consistent high quality food of any restaurant we eat at. Very few restaurants can produce time and time again. Its pricey no doubt about it but the experience is polished and the environment very pleasant. All 4 of us including 2 kids loved our food, lamb and steak for the kids, duck and lamb for the adults. If you are on the fence about this place, trust me, its great.
L.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in Auckland. Top quality fine dining and exemplary service. As the sister restaurant to Little Jimmies you get all the same quality with an added gastronomic flare to rival the CBD restaurants where paying twice as much isn't unrealistic.
The exposed wince cellar beneath the bar is also a great touch.
L.
Dined with friends at this lovely restaurant. A warm greeting at the door. Comfortable chairs, friendly and knowledgeable service with a comprehensive menu and wine list. Check out the underground wine cellar as you walk over it when you arrive!The meal was spectacular in presentation and deliciously flavoursome. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Food, service and ambiance. Excellent in one word! Wine match was amazing, food quality of the best order and this has been consistently over the years we visit One Tree Grill. Compliments to the chef, the kitchen and the restaurant team.
n.
Neat grill restaurant in a suburban area with easy street parking. Great ambience and excellent quality of food with beautiful presentation.
R.
We visited One Tree Grill for dinner on a Grabone voucher for the 6 course degustation menu. The food was outstanding but even more so was the humorous and charming service received from our French waiter Nick who made the evening so enjoyable, in fact, one of us appeared to find Nick and the food equally palatable. Thanks for an outstanding dining experience.
G.
There are date nights and then there are date nights. We have a very short list of places for those special occasions. Especially if you want to make sure that your wife of many years and mother of 3 wonderful children understands that it is all about her and how much she is loved and appreciated. One Trill Grill never disappoints. The food, service and atmosphere make it an amazing experience. Great job to Tim and his team.
H.
Excellent six course meal at One Tree Grill. Superb service and great atmosphere. Perfect for a romantic meal or to host a group celebration. Can't wait to return!
S.
What wonderful Fine Dining experience we had last night. My husband, my elderly partially sighted parents and I were warmly welcomed at the door. I had asked for an easily accessible table and we had just that. Our waiter Max was most helpful and we enjoyed the friendly banter. Our head waitress was very professional and accommodating. We loved it when our meal was delivered there was an explanation of what was being served. The food was outstanding and top class. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and absolutely come back. I personally love Fine Dining, One Tree Grill lived up to and beyond my expertations.
H.
An excellent place for a special occasion or just to enjoy being really well looked after. We know Sebastian’s food from The French Café so when we realised he was the chef now at One Tree Grill we were delighted as it’s even closer to home. All other aspects - wine, service, the easy to use IPad menus and the ambience ensure a wonderful experience. Love the fish tank!
L.
Absolutely superb degustation. We all throughly enjoyed it, even the teenagers :-)
The wine match was excellent and we had a lovely French waiter , we highly recommend.
We Will definitely be back.
P.
Photos of One Tree Grill do not justify the beauty of the restaurant. Held a surprise engagement dinner and the service Tim and Sam provided was flawless! Will definitely recommend One Tree Grill to anyone and we’ll definitely be back.
L.
We came as a group of 8 to celebrate a special occasion, and what a great night it was! The private room was a special treat, and made us feel like VIPs! The food, as ever, was amazing and was beautifully paired with the recommended drinks. Thank you for a wonderful night out!
T.
Definitely a must every now and then or as your budget allows. Had the rib eye steak on the bone 🤤 was cooked perfectly with great service and perfect ambiance. Will definitely be back.
B.
Our recent celebration with family and friends was a huge success thanks to the team at One Tree Grill. Planning the event was effortless with Tim & Brad willing and helpful with suggestions. On the night the food was amazing and our host Patrick ensured service was exemplary from start to finish. A memorable occasion.
D.
Outstanding food and service. The staff are friendly, professional, efficient but unobtrusive. Cannot be faulted. Although a non-drinker with the extensive glass top underfloor wine cellar on show I would imagine you could not fail to find a suitable match. We were delighted to be given the private room which further enhanced the evening. It really is an exceptional experience so don't be afraid to venture to the suburbs!
W.
Absolutely outstanding from being greeted and shown to our table to the wait staff's knowledge of the food and attention to detail, we could not fault this place if we tried.
We had the valentines day set menu, which was fantastic the highlight for myself was the lamb belly with beetroot puree this was melt in the mouth and cooked to perfection, as were all the other dishes,.
I highly recommend this restaurant there is a reason it has been around for a long time at the top of its game.
L.
Just had the most amazing family dinner for my son's 21st. The food was exquisite and the portion size were just right. No request was too difficult - the staff were attentive without being intrusive. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want a special meal -
worth every penny
V.
We always go to One Tree Grill for our special occasion dinners. The food and service is always amazing! This visit was no exception. The only thing that changed that I didn’t care for was the vinegarette dressing that they use on the cos salad. It used to be an amazing creamy dressing which was phenomenal. Minor league stuff! Highly recommend!
K.
Lovely ambiance, friendly staff and delicious food! We always enjoy our meals here. Great place for all ages, as we noticed last night. Quiet enough to be able to talk easily at the table but not too quiet .. everything is always just right. We will be back.
A.
Fabulous food and service. The team at One Tree Grill created a yummy meal that accommodated my allergies and they did it at short notice! Consistently divine food and always enjoyable!
M.
Such a fantastic find for us! The food was wonderful and perfectly flavoured. We especially loved the ambience and the service is definitely the best we’ve had in Auckland. A truly exceptional experience. Thanks to the staff and chef. We will definitely be back.
A.
Wonderful birthday meal. Everything was perfect, from the service, to the atmosphere and delicious food. My partner frequently talks about the wild venison tartare and how amazing it was. We look forward to visiting again!
C.
Amazing food.
Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff.
Lively yet comfortable atmosphere.
A vast drinks list for alcoholics and designated drivers alike with argueably the best crafted wine list in New Zealand.
You cannot go wrong with One Tree Grill.
A.
Great food, friendly, helpful staff and nice atmosphere. An all round wonderful experience. We plan to go there again.
L.
Highly recommended, excellent customer service and more!!
J.
Great evening with friends. The service was friendly and efficient with a menu that should cover most ‘tastes’. I had market fish (John Dory) which was prepared perfect and tasted superb. Our friends had a steak dish which was also to their satisfaction. A lovely wine from the extensive wine list made for an excellent evening.
D.
Excellent food and atmosphere. We had the six-course degustation and it's every bit memorable. We like the scallops the most! We left dinner very full (thanks to the steak) but also wanting to try out the other dishes. Definitely a place to celebrate special occasions and worth returning to!
H.
Summary: if you haven't been, you must.
Good selection of beers, excellent selection of wine. Food was fantastic! Duck was amazing as was the perfectly cooked medium rear, rib eye, on bone steak.
Moderate price, however large portion sizes.
Service was perfect.
N.
Delicious!!! Did the 6 course degustation, and it was divine! I don’t even like fish and I loved the salmon entree! The duck was 200% DELISH! Would definitely return
J.
Wow...When I saw the menu I didn't know what i wanted to eat, the food was "foreign" to what i would normally eat. Nothing jumped out at me...I took a chance with the Duck Liver Parfait OMG I wanted more! I chose the snapper for my main and also got the Smoked Mashed Potato. I'm not a fan of cauliflower and wasn't intending to eat their cauliflower puree...however, I ate everything on my plate, the food was delicious, I left feeling satisfied...I look forward to my next visit...Highly Recommend, pays to book...
J.
This restaurant is consistently good. Food is fresh and good quality without the fashionable fussiness of some but always well presented .the wine pairings make it easy to enjoy just a glass alternately the cellar is well stocked . A nice ambience unless to get the side annex which feels just like that , a long room without the genteel buzz of the main dining and in spite of the similar decor needs some clever to make it feel more connected . Quite ok for a larger private group but I wouldn’t want to be seated in this area if I was anything less than 6 guests . I recommend inside and the main restaurant .

Have been here 5 times now, every time is amazing, service is out standing
N.
Very upmarket restaurant that serves great food consistently. Service is fantastic as the waiting staff are very attentive. Nothing has changed here the food is excellent as is the service.
D.
Waiter was friendly, easy going, helpful and professional.
Food was absolutely amazing. Some of the best lamb and duck we've ever had!
Dessert was especially delicious and not your usual desserts or flavors.
J.
We had the 6 course degustation dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A lovely meal made better by taking the option of a wine matched for each course. Great to try food and wines that we would not normally experience. The service was excellent. It all added up to a great night out.
R.
My experience here (several months ago now) was mediocre. It is a favourite of my family and as such I have been to dinner here a few times.
As the only vegetarian in the family, I found the menu to be extremely restrictive with very little in the way of vegetarian food options. In addition, the waiter was quite mocking about my lack of desire to eat meat, rather than offering any particularly good solutions.
I ended up having a couple of entrees as my main, which was sufficient but I wouldn't call it a top notch experience.
Every indication is that One Tree Grill is excellent if you are a meat eater, however.
S.
Gorgeous food, and attentive, unobtrusive service. We had the degustation menu and every course was divine, the wine was perfectly matched, and the meal was expertly sized and paced. One Tree Grill well surpassed our expectations! We’ve been to a few of the top restaurants in Auckland, and if One Tree Grill isn’t on the list of top ten, then it should be.
L.
We had a group of 13 celebrating a special birthday. We had a side room to ourselves. The service both before the evening (re menu and decorations) and during the evening was fantastic. The food and drinks were exceptional. we had a great night, and recommend this restaurant for any occasion. Thank you to the staff.
B.
Such a treat to dine here. Always the beautifully prepared food. Attention to detail and ambience.
Excellent wine list. Just great.
L.
Wonderful meal, exceptional food and service, as always. We love One Tree Grill, from the efficient and friendly service, to the innovative I-pad style menu, inviting setting and beautifully presented and tasty food. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending for a special occasion.
A.
We have been to one tree grill a few times and have never been disappointed. Both food and service is excellent with a wonderful selection of wines. Always great to celebrate a special occasion here. In our opinion one of the best restaurants in Auckland.
A.
Excellent food. Good service. Not always attentive but they also aren't in your face which I prefer. A steak here comes with a fine sauce and flavors and textures are carefully refined. Desserts also highly refined. The cost is higher than average but I always leave satisfied.
D.
The atmosphere is good, would be better if there is light music. The steak is very well done and perfect. The bread was very fresh. But the Market fish was very average and the portion is small considering the price. The roasted potatoes are great but we don't like the chips. Overall, it's a nice restaurant but the price is a little bit high. I expect the food to be better with the pricing.
S.
I went there for a work dinner. The place itself was tidy and well set out and the food was excellent. The staff were great and friendly also.
P.
We dined at the restaurant for my friend’s birthday. This was our first visit to the restaurant. The service, atmosphere and food were outstanding. It is an expensive restaurant but truly value for money. Food was divine, staff sublime, setting superb. Top Class Restaurant...Highly recommended. Everyone was served at the same time...and best of all...They cater for the Gluten 'Free'ers'
S.
Food was excellent. Really good flavour combinations.
Like the iPad menu with the pictures attached so you can see what you're getting. Nice ambiance. Waiter was attentive but not hovering which would be annoying. Parking can be tricky.
M.
This is our favourite restaurant in NZ. The food is superb and the service is top notch.My husband said the rib eye steak is the best he has ever eaten and we have eaten well in lots of places worldwide. The staff are knowledgeable, attentive and friendly without being intrusive which I really like. The food is outstanding and beautifully presented.
Q.
Degustation menu was excellent and good value. $110 gave 6 dishes. Mains are surprisingly large for fine dining and satisfying. Service was great. Came here for my birthday party and would definitely come again.
S.
The whole atmosphere in the restaurant lends itself to a most enjoyable evening. The great service by the staff sets the scene and the food prepared by the chef rounds it off. Every course was delicious.
A.
The best steak I have had in all of auckland, the black garlic butter was pure magic.
One suggestion would be to have more options for cocktail drinks
Barring that great place, great ambience
N.
So I went with my parents and my wife for Mother's Day. The food was excellent! And that was the opinion of a fussy eater in the group. Absolutely delicious! Especially with a set menu for Mother's Day.
We had to wait for our table to be ready, but it was a comfortable wait. The service was patient and friendly (part of the group had difficulty hearing), and was always on hand to help us with any issues.
It had a comfortably ambient atmosphere for such a busy day of the year, with friendly staff helping to make our visit very pleasant indeed.
One Tree Grill is our go to restaurant for a fancy night out, and has always delivered on ever visit we have made. The only major issue is parking, but that is true for all the eateries in the area.
A.
A very nice night out. I normally like my steak done medium rare, but the waitress suggested medium, so I thought I'd give it a try. Steak came out cooked perfectly, so kudos to the staff and kitchen for knowing their business! The lamb belly was delicious. We dined early on a Friday evening and avoided the rush, and received excellent service.
I.
Great service and great food, we felt very well looked after.
Restaurant was really comfy and clean, it was busy but could still hear each other.
Well priced and the quality of the food meets the expectations.
Would certainly recommend and will visit again. Definitely somewhere to go for a treat.
M.
We had a great dinner at One Tree Grill. Quality food and service. Definitely we will come back again.
A.
Ka rawe! What a fantastic 60th Birthday Dinner for my wife and whanau! Tim(Manager?) Samuel (Waiter), Nick(Chef) were amazing hosts. Anything was possible. Awesome!! Three Course set menu was ideal for our group of 13. The lamb rump was “pinky superb”. Our Elspeth Merlot and Cote de Rhone were an excellent match. My top of the list restaurant Xmas 2020! Yeehaa!!🥰😎👍😃👏❤️
P.
The food was beautiful, well presented, if somewhat pricey. Service was very attentive and well judged. Just our mains took a little time to arrive after we'd finished our entrees. It was perfect for us to have the board room at the rear, so that it made it less noisy for our 90 year old mum.
C.
Great experience, the atmosphere and service were incredible and we would love to come back some time to try different dishes. Thanks for having us!
S.
From the moment I made the booking to when we walked in the door, everything was amazing! The set up to the food, phenomenal! My family and I had such a great time celebrating my partners birthday and I would 100% recommend going to here for any special occasion or just a beautiful meal! Staff were also amazing and overall we had the best night! Thank you for the amazing service! We will definitely be back!
H.
Fantastic food with amazing wine pairing.
A.
Great dining experience over all, not quite 5 Star (ideally I would give it 4.5). Food was wonderful, cooked perfectly (oh those smoked mushrooms... mmm). Service left a little to be desired, wait staff didn't keep an eye on the tables, so I had to walk to the bar when my wine order was forgotten, 1st world problems yes but I do expect more from a place like this.
Overall wonderful and I would go again.
V.
Went here for business dinner, lovely restaurant, with amazing surroundings. The menu is amazing.
M.
Consistently excellent
We’ve been here half a dozen times and the food is always superb. I had the beef on the bone, she had the fillet. Both were perfect and the fries were simply divine. Lovely atmosphere, the staff were proactive without being intrusive. Highly recommended
W.
Had a great night at One Tree Grill last Saturday. We got there early and relaxed in the bar before the others arrived. Friendly and knowledgeable bar staff ensured we got exactly what we wanted from an extensive gin menu. On to dinner and the theme continued. Attentive, yet relaxed service came with a full explanation of the courses and the food lived up to the expectation. Beautifully presented and delicious. Dessert was the highlight for me, the passion fruit was spectacular and my partner was disappointed that there was none left to share. Shame!
E.
Dined here for my birthday celebration. It was my first time here and I got to say the interior was really nice !! The waiters were very prompt. The steaks were cooked to perfection really enjoyed our meal~ I ordered the eye fillet I believe and everything was really good but for my taste I didn't enjoy the vinegary mushroom?? But thats probably personal taste. I would definitely dine here again!!
a.
We came here on Saturday for our work Chrsitmas function for the second year in a row. We thought last years food, service, atmosphere was FABULOUS and they didn't disappoint this year. Ten out of ten, two years running. If you are looking for that extra something this is the place to try, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy, : )
R.
Great food, well presented, tasty, balanced and cooked to perfection. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, but not in your face. The cocktails were delicious. A good evening was had by all.
B.
Being a vegetarian, I do not always have best experiences when it comes to eating out. But my experience at One Tree Grill was great - it was my first time. Entree, Mains and salad - all of the dishes were delicious. Great customer service.
Would definitely recommend to you all :)
S.
We love that this is a really lovely suburban restaurant and we don’t need to go into the city centre for beautiful food that is expertly presented. One of our ‘special occasion’ places and has never failed to deliver.
S.
I had a meal at one tree grill this evening to celebrate my 60th Birthday with a friend I had the Oysters as an entree and the Duck as my main. The food was excellent as was the service being a Saturday the restaurant was busy but this did not have any effect on the Service, Food, or time it took to be served. even with the Restaurant being quite full you did not notice it. The Noise of the restaurant was very quite as you could not hear anyone near you talking at all which made the visit and meal very enjoyable indeed.
F.
Every year for the past five years we come to One Tree Grill (OTG) on a double date with some close friends. Not once has it disappointed. A great selection of drinks to get your night started and an ever changing menu to keep us coming back to see what new delectable dishes that's been added. Will be going again next year.
J.
Was craving a good degustation meal and One Tree Grill didn't disappoint. Each course was cooked and seasoned to perfection, and the paired wines were the best match I've had in Auckland.
Look forward to returning again!
M.
There is nothing to fault about this place. Food, service, ambience is all perfect. Left the restaurant stuffed. Did not have room for dessert. The pork belly is amazing! And ofc the steak.
S.
We were warmly welcomed right from the start. Service was excellent, and no trouble was too great to provide for my lactose intolerance. The food was awesome, from a varied, techno-savvy menu. The only shortcoming I can note is that dairy-free options on the menu are minimal - although, as I mentioned, this was covered for by customisation of dishes to suit. Highly recommended!
K.
Excellent food and knowledgeable staff who know their wines.
S.
All 4 meals were delicious; the service was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive, and the hot chocolate was the pinnacle for 2 of us.
Our subsequent visit was up to a similar standard, though for 2 of us the mushroom entree was disappointing - the brioche was soggy and the chargrilled leek was tasteless and did nothing for the mushrooms. The scallops were "divine" and the snapper and the pork belly were equally wonderful.
K.
What a fabulous restaurant! Food was amazing, service was fantastic even though it was a really busy Saturday night. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top quality meal with wine to match. We haven't found anything better in Auckland of this type of cuisine. Will most certainly be back!
D.
We had a really lovely dining experience at One Tree Grill. The staff were warm and attentive and the food was delicious. Food presentation was beautiful.
K.
This was one place we had always wanted to visit. Atmosphere, service & experience was amazing. Food & wine was special. Left happy and full. Thanks to our waiter and to Three Kings football team & parents who gifted a voucher for my coaching efforts this year. We will return again.
D.
We recently celebrated my 50th Birthday at One Tree Grill. There were 9 of us and we requested the private room. I cannot praise this amazing restaurant enough - the food, service and ambience were absolutely incredible and I cannot wait to go back. Thank you for making the evening perfect in every way!!!!
H.
We had a group of 3, sit close the street window, very good view to see one tree hill park. Service was excellent and fully as to what you could wish for. Ordered the venison and scallop for entree; market fish, duck breast, eye fillet for main; and banana and toffee as the desert. all of them were perfectly cooked. We should have ordered sides as they are all believed supervising, but we are so full after the main. Conclusion: if you haven't been, you must.
H.
Such a treat to dine at one tree grill. My husband and I love the service and the food is sensational. The scallops are our favourite! We will be returning.
N.
We had wonderful dinner at one tree grill for my birthday, and it's our 1st time tasted the dishes and wine. Food were beautifully presented. We love the ribeye steak as well as the rhubarb dessert very much. So yum. personally i prefer a little strong tastes, but light suits my partner's taste perfectly well. Overall satisfied. And recommended.
D.
excellent atmosphere, the sides were the surprising star, the bonito butter were inspired, so flavourful, a perfect accompaniment to our main. Lovely service. Warm crunchy hand made bread rolls to wet your appetite.
S.
The food was delicious and the service excellent. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable about the food they were serving. They recommended a matching wine with every course depending on our individual preferences. Overall we had an amazing night!
J.
Everything is just perfect!! Food, Service and Vibe!!
M.
I never thought good could make you feel emotional until we went to this place. The food is like nothing we've had before. The service is amazing. A special thanks to Claire our waitress, she was so lovely and knowledgeable. We don't often go to fancy restaurants and she was so sweet when we obviously did not know much about the drinks (which were delicious). We will definitely be back for our next anniversary. Would give this more stars if possible.
M.
9ur annual special place for anniversary. Booking online very easy with email confirmation and Google reminder on the day. Complimentary bread rolls wonderful. Nice choice of beer and wines. Mains were to perfection with good portions as sides. Deserts are just amazing so much flavour and great presentation.
D.
We had a most enjoyable meal at One Tree Grill for a birthday treat. A great selection of food complimented by a wide selection of wines by the glass or bottle. This topped off with the attentiveness and the knowledge of the staff who provided a very pleasing experience. thank you Aaron
L.
After many years of hearing great things about One Tree Grill we finally tried it...WOW. Definitely worth the hype!
The restaurant itself is beautiful with lovely furnishings, beautiful bar and stunning fireplace but it is the food that is the star of the show. We each had three courses with the recommended wine match which you can choose on the tablets provided (this also lets you look at a picture of your meal which is a brilliant idea) and I can easily say it is one of the best meals I've had in years. Lamb entree was cooked to perfection, eye fillet with ox cheek was meat heaven and hubby's pork belly was one of the best he's had.
The desserts of banana with toffee and yuzu shortbread that we paired with dessert cocktails were out of this world...reccomend the Decadence cocktail for those that like chocolate and raspberry!
The service was also top notch...informative and never felt intrusive. Can't wait to go back!!
R.
The decor was really warm and comfortable - perfect for a winter meal!
The iPad menus are really cool and easy to use, making a scan of the menu really simple. The food is DELICIOUS and the portion sizes are really good. We were expecting the mains to to be very small (as with most fine dining experiences) so my partner and I chose to share two extra sides. We were barely able to touch the sides - which were both sizeable and delicious themselves - because our mains were large enough.
We shared the 53% chocolate dessert which was super good, although I preferred the taste of the main (I had the lamb).
I will definitely be returning!
A.
Heard so much about this place and it certainly lived up to the hype. After dining at many fine establishments around Auckland I would definitely say this is my favourite. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, a fine dining experience without feeling pretentious. Every course was a delight - I want to go back already!
P.
Great night out on the 27th July for a family birthday, 8 people was perfect for the small private room. Claire did a great job welcoming us and providing a professional service. Food and drinks superb, especially Pironni ale on tap, lamb belly and steak.
Only disappointment was the waiter who was hard to understand when describing the menu, could have introduced himself and been a bit more engaging? Reading out everyone’s choices out was ponderous and a bit embarrassing as English not so good.
Still got 5 stars so well done.
D.
Pleasantly surprised by the high standards of presentation, flavours and tastes of the food. People are friendly and had an excellent table. The Ipad menu was awesome - being able to see the pictures of each meal we could choose from. We will definitely go again and recommends others. Good work! Great atmosphere. Thank you
Z.
Great food, atmosphere & service!! Did the 5-course degustation tasting menu. Was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the produce and the techniques used on making the dish look so beautiful and inviting. The service was impeccable! Never far away from making sure that everything is in order. From when you step in the door to when you've left the grill, amazing experience! Great for romantic dates or just any special occasion! Glad that I didn't have to travel into town for such a great experience :-)
M.
Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and professional and nothing is too much trouble. I am allergic to beetroot and stupidly chose an entree and a main that had a bit of beetroot in them, I asked if they could do the dishes for me without the beetroot but they went one step further and replaced the beetroot with something else that made the meal exceptional (eg smoked mushrooms), I never expected them to do that and was absolutely stoked! Fantastic food and wine (not to mention their amazing wine cellar!) and love how the menu has photos and descriptions of everything. A great place to take guests visiting New Zealand.
A.
Still on par with my previous 5 stars review a few months ago. This time we had guests from Vietnam who are in the wine business. Wonderful warm welcome! Everyone there is always friendly and discreet. Every single dish a work of art: a feast for the eyes as well as for the taste buds! Thank you to all.
R.
Cannot rave enough about OTG - from first arriving to leaving you are made to feel special. Waiters were very attentive, but not intrusive - even the waiters (different) that brought out the food were smiley and friendly. We had the 6 course degustation, which wow what a great deal is all I can say! Food was excellent value for money (my favourite was the mushrooms!) and delicious down to the last mouthful. I have to mention the bartender as the "Decadence" cocktails he made were simply divine.
I would recommend OTG to my friends and family anyday. Thanks again Team, keep up the great work
M.
Service was great, drinks menu handed to us within moments of waiting while we waited for the rest of the party to show up. Food was freshly cooked just right. Felt the oysters probably were not the freshest so only had 1. Overall great service and wonderful food
S.
I attended our annual Christmas lunch with friends at One Tree Grill yesterday, and we all throughly enjoyed it. The service was great and the food was delicious. Beautifully presented meals that were a pleasure to eat.
One Tree Grill is one of the top fine dining resturants in Auckland, and it deserves to have a 5/5 rating.
Thanks again for a delightful meal and great service.
L.
Staff very attentive and the food divine.
It was a double birthday celebration on the exact night of dining. Son and father born on the same day. My son and father were supplied with a delicious truffle with candle on a dish each at the end of the meal. Not asked for by any of the family and certainly unexpected so were delighted with the small gesture.
However, when looking at the bill later we saw that we were charged for these. Please, don't provide a small thoughtful gesture and then charge for it!
M.
Lovely meal...I have eaten here a few times but this was the first I have bought my family. Service was great...meal took a wee while but we coped.
''Compliments of the chef' is always a lovely touch.
Will be definitely visiting again in the future.
Thanks for a lovely evening :)
L.
The best meal I have had in a long time!
Fabulous food, cooked to perfection, friendly staff who were attentive without being intrusive... wonderful relaxed ambience with soft laid back lighting...and just the right amount of background music. This was a mother’s day treat from my son - we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and are still raving about the food. Have recommended to friends and family... we will be back!
Ps. Loved the iPad menus!
S.
Fantastic food and a wonderful location for a meal with family or friends. Very good service, starting from the booking process onward. Service was prompt, helpful and sincere during the meal. Pricey restaurant, but well worth it. The pork belly was amazing and the desserts sublime.
J.
First time visitors and we were impressed -
Fine dining in suburbia. Reservation was easy to make via email and promptly confirmed. Upon arrival we were welcomed and shown to our table, which was nice and cozy in the front of the restaurant - elegant / tasteful decor / relaxed vibe. Was impressed with the drinks menus on iPads for you to read up on but we were doing the wine matches with the 6 course degaustation / tasting menu.
Wait staff were very professional and non intrusive.
Love that they serve sparkling water in the bottle so that you can top up as you need to.
Accommodating my gluten free requirement was no trouble and the dishes were perfect. Particularly we loved the venison tartare, crispy pork belly and eye fillet. All courses were perfect and we left feeling very full and would defineltly be back.
S.
I had my first dining experience here around 2002! Hadn’t been in last couple of years but delighted to find it was excellent as always! Food, service, atmosphere perfect. Enjoy a ‘classic’ that is constantly and consistently reinventing itself.
C.
Lovely restaurant and delicious food! My husband enjoyed the lamb and I had a great red snapper meal, and we both LOVED the roasted potatoes! Hayley, our waitress, was delightful! We highly recommend this restaurant in Epsom.
J.
Excellent wine collection.
Had the six course degustation menu, it’s very nicely done. However, I look forward to seeing more creativity and surprises from the chef as the culinary skills are impeccable.
O.
Been here a few times and the standard is always very good. Recently we went with the degustation menu with matching wines. All the meals were well executed and went well with the wines. Amongst the dishes were a raw kingfish salad, scallops, venison tartare, a choice of fish, duck or steak and two dessert dishes. Service is always very good and they take you through each dish as you'd expect.
W.
Brilliant service, delicious food ans very cosy ambiance. That is a winning combo for me!!
We ordered the eye fillet and duck breast which are simply amazing, not just becauee of the quality of the meats but also for the accompanying ingredients.
Wine selection is also good, with the Bannockburn riesling being a real highlight.
Definitely will recommend to anyone!!
R.
I took my partner to One Tree Grill for her birthday dinner. Both our first time at this restaurant and it was amazing. I had the Lamb Belly (entree), Free Range Pork Belly (mains) and Tonka Bean Brûlée (dessert) and my partner had Seared Scallops (entree), Grass Fed Hereford Eye Fillet (mains) & Passionfruit Mousse (dessert). We also had the Brown Butter Potato Mash as a side dish - OMG this was the best Potato Mash ever. All dishes were wonderful, enjoyed them all, good serving sizes as well. The staff are very friendly & attentive. This is a great restaurant for that special occasion or if you just want to dine out and have a wonderful meal.
N.
What an amazing dining experience! From walking through the front door to leaving after dining we felt like valued customers every step of the way. Staff were attentive, informative and polite. Menus on iPads that show what the dishes look like left no guessing when ordering. Food was incredibly well presented and every mouthful as delicious as the one before. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu.
C.
We recently had an excellent dining experience here. It was my second visit, but my partner's first, who immediately liked the ambience. We found the lighting to be perfect, and the iPad menus are fantastic - my partner likes when there are pictures of the dishes, and we both appreciate the use of regular words (rather than replacing the names of ingredients with French or Italian words just for sounding more fancy).
The food was superb: We started with the Aged Cheddar Gnocchi and had the Hawke's Bay Lamb and Market Fish for our mains with the Roasted Potatoes and Beetroot Salad as sides. My partner found the fish a bit salty, but to me it was just right. All the other dishes were simply fantastic, especially the Roasted Potatoes.
The waiters were knowledgeable, friendly and also had very good timing.
All in all highly recommended!
A.
One Tree Grill is our local restaurant of choice and did not disappoint when we had dinner there on Thursday. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable, with recommendations about what to choose from the new winter menu. The wine list is extensive and it's an interesting experience walking over the cellar. The tablet menus are fun to use. I am already looking forward to our next visit.

A fantastic dining experience (as always).
I'm quite simple when it comes to food, I like steak cooked medium rare which is what I probably would have ordered had the staff not intervened and recommended the duck. I've had duck before (from Chinese takeaway shops), but this was something else. And because of that every other time I plan to dine at One Tree Grill I would be trying something different (that's not to say their steak isn't good because I've had that before too).
The helpfulness of the waiter, the fast service, delicious food, and atmosphere made for a 5 star evening.
Thanks and keep up the good work, I shall be back soon.
K.
I loved my experience while dining with my lovely lady. Ambience & atmosphere were marvellous. The food was spectacular & the waiters were very polite & friendly. I would recommend to go to this restaurant if you want to celebrate something extraordinary and special :)
P.
Love love love the food here, especially the entrees (duck liver parfait, salmon, and beef tartare), customer service was excellent, the ipad menu was a nice touch, and ambience was very intimate.
C.
An absolutely fabulous dining experience. Great ambience, delicious food and awesome service. If I was going to be critical, It would have been nice to have the birthday acknowledged in some token way (mentioned at time of booking) but it didn't spoil the overall enjoyment. I would definitely return.
R.
Wow! The restaurant was almost full on a mid week evening and now, having eaten there, we understand why! Although busy the restaurant felt intimate and peaceful with expert staff on hand delivering well timed and knowledgable service. The food was supreme: we had the Tasting Menu of six courses. Even though we were using a voucher we weren't made to feel second class to other diners in any way. The food and its presentation was modern and sophisticated with flavours to die for (the lamb!!! the lemon dessert!! I could go on!!) We had a fantastic evening and will definitely be returning.
J.
What an amazing experience! Around 10 of us went for a 50th birthday and the birthday lady felt so special. It goes without saying we were treated extremely well. The food was amazing and the restaurant is beautiful! Would recommend to anyone!!
Z.
I was visiting Auckland with family when I visited One Tree Grill. While I do find the name a bit cheesy/punny - everything else about this restaurant is legit. We did the six course degustation which cost 120 per person. Decor was very nice, awesome ambience with lively feel. Each dish was well crafted with adventurous and powerful flavours. Only recommendation would be to slightly reduce the duration between courses, I found them a tad too long.
I would absolutely recommend trying One Tree Grill if you're looking for a fine dining experience - to the team, thanks so much for a memorable night!
g.
Fantastic menu, absolutely beautiful food and incredible service that is obviously fuelled by a genuine passion for the industry. We loved our evening here. Thank you
G.
Lovely degustation menu and were very pleased that some courses could be varied to meet dietary needs. Excellent service and superb wines to match with knowledgeable waiter. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
A.
I highly recommend One Tree Grill to anyone that likes fine dining!
The best parts that stood out for us were the staff, generous portion of the main and the dessert. It was dad's birthday so my husband and I took my parents for their first experience of the tasting menu at One Tree Grill. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff were really friendly and professional. They would introduce every dish as they come through which just makes it sound and taste better! Also once they knew that I am pregnant, they proactively provided alternatives so that it's safe for me to enjoy the food without worrying. We would definitely go back again! I look forward to more coupons on Grabone and their business lunches! :)
Thank you for another great experience One Tree Grill!
T.
Group booking, great service. Ordered the lamb belly for entree, pork belly for main. Both were perfectly cooked. Desert was banana and toffee...would not order again. Was like eating muesli and cream cheese...wasnt pretty to look at.
L.
Great food. Nice place to go for special occasions
A.
This review concerns dinner on Wednesday 4 July 2018. The diners are a middle aged couple, a bit particular.
We arrived just a few minutes earlier than our booked time and were seated within two minutes. The restaurant appeared busy but not overwhelmed.
Service was invariably quick but never rushed.
Our starters (venison tartare; Bluff oysters) and mains (lamb roast; duck breast) were beautifully presented. The ingredients were explained on the spot by the waiting staff in a few seconds - succinctly enough that we could appreciate the information rather than feel impatient.
SWMBO advises that she would have preferred that her lamb be cooked just a wee bit longer, but this was not a real issue. Both of us devoured and thoroughly enjoyed our starters and mains.
The wine list contains a great number of pricey drops that our humble palates would never appreciate, but our chosen South Australian GSM was not only reasonably priced but also a perfect match for our different meats.
Once again, well done!
C.
Where do I start? Expectations were high, as I had heard nothing but praise - and they were completely exceeded.
The staff were understanding and accommodating of our problems with Auckland traffic.
The food was sublime. We had the venison carpaccio and raw kingfish and couldn't fault either dish - not that we were trying to. The flavour combinations were superb.
The rib eye on the bone was cooked to absolute perfection. And my pork belly was meltingly soft - with the best crackle I have ever had.
The attention to detail from the staff was above and beyond and made our 21st anniversary celebrations truly memorable. I can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much for a fabulous evening!
J.
Wonderful special birthday event for a party of 17 in a private area within the restaurant. Food and service was excellent. Tim and the staff were so helpful and made the evening perfect. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.
B.
Amazing steaks, and always delivers great service. But would recommend to not be seated at a booth. There is very little leg room.
D.
Fantastic!! Faultless!! Modern, chic with beautiful decor, impeccable food and unobtrusive polished staff. Everyone in our group of 5, ranging from my 84 year old father to my 17 year old daughter were thrilled with the meals they ordered. Highly recommend One Tree Grill.
L.
One of my favorite restaurant to go to. A+ customer service. Ambient is just amazing . Food is great.
A.
Excellent food! Excellent service! Had a great time with colleagues. Became my favorite restaurant!! Highly recommend

The manager of One Tree Grill sent me an email asking me to write a review. Normally I disregard these types of notices, but I'm taking an exception here because of the all around exceptional meal I had earlier this week at One Tree Grill.
To start off, the waitress recommended Bluff Oysters, and frankly I was skeptical since I live in New England, which has some of the best oysters anywhere. I was quite surprised not only at the quality of the oysters but great taste as well. Many restaurants don't take care to properly prepare their oysters, but every single one of these slid quite easily off the shell and the light vinegar they had to go with them was exquisite. I know that oysters is a silly thing to harp on about, but it was a positive sign for the rest of the meal.
My next course was lamb belly prepared with a deconstructed sag paneer. The skin was cooked to a nice crisp and the lamb was seasoned really nicely and the texture had a little firmness to it but it wasn't chewy. I loved how the sag didn't stand out but with some toasted cashews nicely complimented the lamb. The paneer was just seared enough and unlike other deconstructed foods, I felt this captured the essence of sag paneer while also playing a good second fiddle to the lamb.
My main course was the pork belly. I'm still dreaming about the skin. I thought Vermont does poor better than anyone, but One Tree Grill outdid them. The fermented apples that came with the pork belly were great, and the mouthfeel really highlighted the great contrast between the skin the the soft and fatty belly.
The desert was a creme brullee with accompaniments I can't quite describe other than to say that they were complimentary to the creme brullee and not overly sweet.
I'm not much of a wine drinker, but I did enjoy the Hefeweizen and alcoholic cider they recommended as pairing with my meal.
I don't know why this isn't a Michelin starred restaurant, as the attentive service, ambience and great food held their own against the handful of Michelin one star restaurants I've tried.
T.
Highly recommended this place! Food was great and service was excellent!
We had our wedding lunch there, small group and everyone was very happy and enjoyed.
Will definitely go back and introduce to friends.
P.
One finest steak so far in Auckland. Service is great. Good atmosphere. Food comes average speed. Never regret to spent high price with this restaurant. Totally satisfy.
G.
One Tree Grill served an outstanding meal in a comfortable yet elegant dining room. All ingredients were wonderfully fresh and deliciously prepared. I haven't found anything better closer than Gordon Ramsey's Maze, in London.
M.
My wife and I have been there 5 times over the last few years. Our last visit was faultless. Excellent service and excellent food at a great price. Do not hesitate to go there for your next night out.
P.
Had the 6 course degustation. Second best one I've had. All rated a 8 except for the scallops and the orange chocolate dessert which were a 9. Atmosphere was good. Was full but could still have a good conversation. Wait staff were lovely. Highly recommended.
S.
Fantastic as always. Loved the new special entree, duck tortellini and mushrooms 11/10. Impeccable service and experience
A.
I dined here a couple months ago for a birthday celebration table for 4. I liked the digital tablet menus and the food was very nice. The atmosphere is very “white table cloth” and not the most lively but again, food was delicious.
M.
Great experience. Loved the ipad menu's with photo's and wine pairing notes. Wish they had at least one classic desert choice done differently- a brownie or a cheesecake but more special. Also would have loved an appetizer.
H.
This place is a gem to have on our doorstep and I can’t believe it took us 5 years to finally try it. We always thought if we had a chance to go out for a nice meal, we should head towards the city or Ponsonby for a meal. Now, we realise we don’t have to do this anymore. One Tree Grill is well worth returning to and we will definitely be back. It was a really lovely birthday dinner despite having the child in tow. Staff were fantastic( knowledgeable, warm, polite and utterly professional), food amazing - the whole experience was very enjoyable. I can’t adequately put into words how good the place felt upon walking in- such a calm, relaxed ambiance. The fire was the icing on the cake.
V.
Really impressed with this restaurant. It is elegant, sophisticated and serves absolutely delicious food. The food is presented in a classic way but uses modern techniques. The waiters are friendly. I will definitely be back here.
T.
Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here last week. It was warm and cosy on a chilly drizzly night. The fire makes it lovely and warm and adds to the overall ambience. Food was great. Patrick and the other staff looked after us very well. Recommend the scallops and the duck. Sadly none of us could fit desserts in so we will have to return in the summer for another try 😃. Thanks OTG. So glad you are in the burbs and not stuck in the busy city centre.
A.
Great Service, Fantastic Food, a lovely dining experience had by all, We will be back!
B.
Had a very nice meal - was special after so loong
A.
Fantastic service and the food met the expectations. Really enjoyed viewing the menu on a tablet device rather than a hard copy menu. What was seen on the tablet matched what was received by the waiters. Highly recommend this restaurant.
S.
Food was beautiful to look at and tasted amazing. Main course in particular were excellent. Service is perfect, attentive and knowledgeable.
J.
I had my first meal at One Tree Grill and it will not be my last. We wanted a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion and for a group of four to talk. The meals were delicious and Logan, our server, had just the right touch in being there when we needed him but not hovering. One Tree Grill is a great choice for good conversations, exquisite food and service.
P.
best dinner i have had in years. As a food critic it means alot to me to be able to enjoy taste the of home.
10 out of 10 for me. well recommended. will definitely dinner here again
V.
Great food and you cannot fault the service. An incorrect food item was delivered that wasn't ordered, and the correct item arrived promptly. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Top notch and will be going again.
V.
The perfect place for a special occasion. The service and the food are probably some of the best you will come across in Auckland. I highly recommend eating at One Tree Grill.
D.
My husband and I had the 5 course degustation and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish. The staff were very charming and attentive without being intrusive. We would certainly recommend dining at One Tree Grill.
W.
Excellent place for a first class dinner. Service is immaculate. Food delicious and a warm and comfortable ambience. Power was mostly out when we visited but you could hardly tell. Very impressive and not our first or last visit.
z.
Beautiful first dinning experience out since been in lockdown the restaurant was flowing well not a long wait for food , talking of the food it was priceless fresh and creative. Brad was an amazing waiter we will be back :)
S.
My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at One Tree Grill this week.
The duck and pork were lovely, but I was disappointed that there wasn't any salmon on offer, or creme brulee .
I preferred their previous menu choices.
A.
Wonderful, as ever.
Perfect for a birthday celebration, OTG is one of only a dozen restaurants in Auckland with truly international standard cuisine, though with largely locally sourced ingredients, of course.
It's not inexpensive, but you can pay a lot more for a good deal less quality and service in this city.
Highly recommended, and a good wine list.
C.
No doubt the food was 5 stars, never actually tasted food as sophisitcated, and of high standard as at OTG.
One small issue was the waiting time for our main and 3rd course, (We waited just under 40 minutes after finishing our 3rd course for our main).
To me, for what we or others would have paid for the food you would expect the waiting time to be less, it kinda felt like they were teasing us since we tried the first few courses.
Anyway, really great experience, opened up my mind to a new higher standard of food.
T.
One Tree Grill is my favourite fine dining restaurant in Auckland. I've eaten here many times and the food has always been delicious and the service is impeccable. I've never been disappointed here. Full marks!
A.
It is a haven. Welcomed and well looked after by Paul.
M.
Great service, nice setting and beautifully presented food.
P.
The waiter was outstanding and he knew the menu inside out. It was my wife’s 60th and the whole package of service, food and wine made it very memorable occasion. Highly recommended.
S.
Absolutely first rate! Delicious food and great service mean I'll be back. My waiter, who happened to be the maitre de, brought over a spoon after my starter arrived. He just knew I'd want to scrape the last bit of the sauce off the plate.
M.
Very good suburban restaurant and bar. Good menu, well executed. Good friendly staff. On street parking usually easily available. Small bar/lounge seating area. Long established and keeps "fresh".
J.
Superb food, wine, and service. Staff are so attentive and acknowledgeable on the food and wine. I love eating here whether for an occasion or casually. And it's all reasonably priced! It has a relaxed but classy atmosphere. One of my favs!
S.
Great Service, Fantastic Cuisine, very artfully presented and well alcohol matched. Well worth a visit and re-visit !!
G.
Excellent service. Excellent food. Highly recommended.
S.
Amazing dinner experience at One Tree Grill for our last night in New Zealand. We made the reservation a month in advance online and selected the restaurant based on reviews.
There was plenty of street parking near the restaurant and the drive from the Sky City area took about 20 min with light traffic.
We walked in and love the ambience -- clean lines, modern, and not too loud/not too quiet. We were seated immediately and greeted by a wonderful server. The menus were on iPad minis -- each course suggested a wine pairing, which was really cool. I also liked that if you selected a certain dish, you would see a full size picture of the meal.
We had scallops to start and had duck and pork for dinner. We also enjoyed Pinot Noir (suggested selection for the duck). We finished with the meyer lemon curd and chocolate truffle desserts. Every course was delicious and the portions were perfect. The service was very gracious and warm. Our server even offered to call us a taxi if needed.
We were so happy to end our wonderful trip to New Zealand on such a high note. We highly recommend One Tree Grill to travelers and locals.
L.
Four of us visited this restaurant in the evening of 9 Dec. We were welcomed very pleasantly and altogether found the service most helpful. The food was excellent, possibly even improved from our last visit some 2 years earlier. All four of us were most impressed.
S.
The meal and service were fine, almost the finest. However after three goes trying to navigate the restaurant's online booking tool - and I mean it really is a tool - I gave up. It dead -ended me when I clicked the wrong button and when I reloaded the webpage out of frustration, I found the time I tried to book was no longer available. Not so I found, as a phone call solved the problem when talking to a real live person. Dump your web ''tool'.
On a tasting note, I found the food delightful and service immaculate, thank you.
P.
We had lunch at One Tree Grill last Friday and were so impressed with the quality and friendliness of the staff, from the welcome to our waiter, and the food was excellent. We had been there for dinner a couple of months ago and had the same very high standards. A wonderful place for a high quality night out.
K.
Great service, nice restaurant and food. On the expensive side.
M.
Lovely restaurant amazing service. Had only one raw option as I mainly eat raw. And there was a change finally in menu. We would go often but menu gets bit boring afterwards. Booked again for July.
D.
Great service, food and ambience. Cosy inside during the winter day.
L.
Outstanding. Had family emergency after ordering and before beginning main course. Most understanding. Put main on hold whilst emergency attended to. Later able to enjoy delicious food. Excellent service. Food presentation like plated art. Thanks
T.
Classy stuff. We had a great night & the food was wonderful. We have been before & we will be back which is the point about a great restaurant. You talk about it & make plans to go back. It means that all the right things are happening.
J.
Strong points :
Very nice and pretty dining room, the filet of beef was incredibly good, the wine list is a tablet with lots of information
Weakness :
a little expensive, the fish was good but could be better, we can only stay at the table for 2 hours before giving up
A.
Good food, good wine, great service. This is what fine dining is all about. The menu is well defined, but standouts are the Lamb and Fish, and definately try the Rhubarb and Custard dessert.
M.
Awesome food and fantastic setting. We did the six course degustation with wine pairing and it was superb!
L.
One of the best places to dine at. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the degustation menu
D.
One Tree Grill is a fantastic place to come for a meal. The food is excellent, the service is excellent and the setting is cosy. They even have a couple of fireplaces going in winter to keep you warm. If you see a GrabOne degustation deal for One Tree Grill they are value for money the food is amazing. There is free (P120) parking on the surrounding streets also. Thinking of dining at One Tree Grill? Do it! I’d be very surprised if you were disappointed.
R.
Great service, excellent food. Perfect place to send close friends to celebrate their anniversary. I can't wait to revisit myself soon. Super pleased, thank you Tim and team.
S.
One Tree Grill is an Auckland legend when it comes to fine dining experiences, long term staff that are superb people and extremely knowledgeable, accompanied by food that is as good as it gets.
This has kept me coming back for years to this restaurant and still in 2015 is simply hard to beat.
I still believe this is to be one of the top 5 in Auckland.
M.
One of my family's fav spots to eat for phenomenal food, impeccable service and an overall great vibe.
T.
Love this place! superb food, super nice service, good wine
M.
Beautiful ambience, Friendly and efficient service from every staff member. Quality food in taste and presentation. All the extras like a warm bread roll before the meal. A wonderful place for a treat.
G.
It was absolutely sensational dishes we had for our anniversary. We highly recommend this place. We will come back again in the future:)
C.
The food at One Tree Grill is DIVINE - beautifully presented and made to perfection. Love, love, love this place. The flavour combinations work very well. I personally love the ora king salmon, the pork belly and the cookies and white chocolate. The ultimate cherry on the top of OTG is the wait staff. The woman who waited on us last night (tall, blonde, slim) was simply brilliant - very attentive, friendly and helpful. My partner and I had experienced a difficult day and walked into our reservation with the weight of the world on our shoulders. She put us at ease and together with the delicious food made our night.
S.
I'm a OTG regular, the reason why i keep coming back (other than being in my neighborhood) is that it is consistently excellent. The quality and presentation of the meals are hard to beat, wine list is exceptional and the staff are nothing short of the best around Auckland. OTG is simply as good as it gets in Auckland, its an institution for dinning in this great city.
D.
Food was absolutely stunning, awesome wine list and the service was friendly but professional
A.
Our party of 8 enjoyed a 4 course degustation dinner this week. From the moment we entered the restaurant till our departure we had great attentions and service.
Three of us matched wines with the courses and were very impressed by the knowledge and explanation of the chosen wines and the reason they complemented the foods. Our waiter took time to ensure that we were happy with the selection and checked afterwards to see that the wine had matched up. The Pork Belly with parsnip, cider apple sage & onion with crackling accompanied by Paritua Pinot Noir was an outstanding choice by 5 in our group. The thyme flavoured agria potato chips were an absolute hit though the other two side dishes were pretty good too!
There were several larger groups in the restaurant at the time but this did not detract from the service we received or the delivery of our food and drinks
Congratulations One Tree Grill, job well done, our Anniversary Dinner was fabulous.
C.
One Tree Grill has to be one of the best dining experiences you can have in Auckland.
Food is perfect and a fantastic wine list as we as some of the best and friendliest staff you can find.
Highly recommended to all.
T.
Incredible service, personal and considerate. Brad our server went the extra mile to deliver comfort and courtesy was highly knowledgeable and sincere!!! It’s been awhile since we have been out and a true pleasure it was. Will be back
K.
From our appetisers to our desserts, all the food was top notch and the service impeccable! Highly recommended lunch spot!
C.
Absolutely perfect!! Such fine dining, good food and service. Best restaurant to celebrate my birthday that evening.
R.
Just wow! What a beautiful restaurant, service and meal. Stunning, enjoyed every minute. I will be back.
G.
Fantastic service meal atmosphere highly recommend for small 2 people to large function .
Finished off what was a great wedding
N.
Good food, impeccable service, great cellar, cosy yet modern interior, and it's kid friendly. Ideal for small groups, large groups (private dining room), families or a romantic dinner for two. The celeriac and artichoke soup with truffle oil was faultless and delicious. The $85 crayfish was underwhelming, lacking even a lick of flame grilled flavour and accompanied onlyby a rather flavourless herb butter and hollandaise - not enough love to do service to such high quality produce. It was enough to knock 1 star off from an otherwise 5 star dining experience.
R.
The food and wine are always top class here, service amazing as well
S.
Great atmosphere and food. Service excellent was like the waitress was assigned to our table. Had a room to ourselves. Highly recommend.
R.
Excellent place to eat, was my first time with me and my girlfriend and we both thought it was amazing. We had a great table in the front of the restaurant looking out upto one tree hill. The service was fantastic and the food was out of this world. It looked so good i didnt even want to ruin it. Reccomend the Rib eye steak, cooked to perfection, i didnt want it to end.
Great place, definetly reccomend!!
S.
Based on previous excellent experiences, we chose One Tree Grill for a 90th birthday celebration with 12 guests. On OTG's advice, we opted for their set menu. The diverse range of guests' needs around duration and appetite required a 2 course menu which OTG were happy to provide. The result was a superb meal appreciated by all, within a short time-frame, and allowing the event to continue elsewhere.
Typically, the service was prompt, professional, and friendly in a warm, relaxed atmosphere.
C.
Great atmosphere. Amazing food loved everything we tried exceeded my expectations. Would recommend to anybody. Great Experience.
H.
Came here with my partner and had the set menu and it was absolutely delightful. Food was great and service was as expected from such a place. Well worth it.
T.
Awesome food, wine and service!
S.
Absolutely love OTG. I have dined here a quite a few times and never has this place disappointed me. I even said to my dining partner that we could fall in love eating such good food and just the overall dining experience that OTG gives. I went a few days ago during the week and they have twiked their menu and have opted to take 'off the block' off their menu which I had a discussion with the waiter about this as that is usually how I would order and I vote they bring it back! It is no way confusing to read off an A La Carte menu and other option of meat of your choice with sides. Anyway, highly recommend this place and service has always been fantastic every visit I make and I am such a foodie that I can surely judge a good place to the most average and this is a winning one! Great work OTG. 10/10.
C.
I've been wanting to come here for sooo long. Finally came in tonight with my friend for an early birthday dinner. We had a six course degustation and everything was outstanding. The food and staff were great. I will be back.
P.
Great food as usual, always like going to One Tree Grill for dinner. I took the kids this time and I felt that there meals weren't that big and my kids are small eaters as well they kept on ordering more bread. That is a little thing but all and all love going to OTG. Thanks
M.
Great dining experience, fantastic service (& friendly), lovely atmosphere - one of the best dinner experiences out that we've had. Thanks for making our 15th Wedding Anniversary so wonderful.
J.
Great service, great food
M.
Had dinner there just before lockdown. We had a great time service was very good as was the food. Hope they come out of the lockdown restrictions ok, because
we are looking forward to going back .
M.
The food was fantastic ...quality ingredients .....the service was impeccable ...will definitely go back ...loved the experience
G.
Beautiful restaurant, with lovely food. Celebrated our Mother's 80th Birthday here and staff were very good and accommodating. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
G.
An excellent restaurant that well earns its star rating. Good food, well presented, warm and friendly atmosphere and its customer relations are most accommodating and first class.
S.
Beautiful food, wonderful service and excellent kids menu! Exceeded my expectations on every front. We will definitely be back.
K.
Always made to feel very very welcomed and well looked after by every single staff member. Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and outstanding service. Never dissappointed when I come here, no.1 on my list!!
R.
Had dinner there earlier in the week. Great service. Food great but not excellent, and for this price it should be excellent or better.
B.
iPads with descriptions & illustrations made the experience even better. Food was beautiful. Our waiter was professional. The night was extremely enjoyable. Thank you.
R.
went to OTG for my mother's 96th birthday. I had asked for a quiet warm table with good chairs (Mum has a bad back) and that is exactly what I got. Food and wine choice wonderful and my mother's dessert came with a birthday candle. Waitress charming and knowledgeable about both food and wine with just the right amount of "table presence". Not sure about use of tablets instead of written menus but can see the advantage when choices become not available on the night. There are possibly better restaurants in Auckland but a nearly full OTG was spot on last Wednesday. Hence 5 stars.
D.
Love the place ! Very good food and great staff
R.
This is one of my most favourite restaurants. Menu and food is always superb as is the service. Really good quality wine menu. Good selection of quality wines by the glass.
#.
Always enjoy it here... was dry July so did not get to sample the fabulous wine list this time round but Food is fabulous... service top notch and atmosphere perfect. #1HospoReview
v.
Great food and service as always.
M.
Literally a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. I loved this restaurant and the food was incredible. It is expensive but I'd say it was worth it. I'd go again. Also the staff were so friendly and attentive.
K.
Our experience was middle of the road, we thought the restaurant was beautiful and our waiter was very attentive we just thought the food was overpriced and quite ordinary, nothing special about the gnocchi this was served with very tough raw kale which was hard to eat, probably won't come back and priced over $300 for lunch.
R.
The food was marvellous. The dining experience tranquil. The staff, highly knowledgable and polite. Loved everything about this place but you get what you pay for-top top restaurant
A.
Hubby and I celebrated an anniversary six course dinner at One Tree Grill this week, a gift from a friend. With a six month old at home we don't get out much these days, so prefer to made it worthwhile when we do. OTG certainly delivered. Service was excellent, each dish was divine and the atmosphere was busy yet imtimate. Only change I would make is our wi e selection. We'd certainly return.
K.
Excellent food and service in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Have never had a bad experience at OTG and would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys an outstanding dining experience.
G.
As expected, great food and service.
J.
The biggest issue is choosing what to have. Been going to One Tree Grill since it opened and each time I can't choose as I know everything is great. My husband solved the problem in regards to deserts - he got two!
J.
Amazing. Could not fault a single thing.
Lovely friendly staff.
C.
Absolutely amazing place. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I had the lamb which was cooked to perfection. Will definitely go back again!
E.
Surprisingly and unexpectedly some of the best vegan food I've had in a while. The chef is clearly a genius. Need to arrange vegan fare in advance.
K.
I have been lucky enough to enjoy both a degustation and a la carte menu options. Both delicious. The service was lovely as is the decor. I look forward to returning.
j.
Second visit and again had the back room which is lovely. Food exceptional. Service great and not intrusive. Will dine again.
C.
We had our work Christmas do for 22 people at OTG last night..... couldn't fault it!!! Fabulous food and service. Will definitely be going back again and well worth going if you haven't been already. 🙃
T.
Absolutely fantastic fine dining experience. Service attentive and knowledgeable. Food sublime. Well worth the price.
A.
I visited this place a while ago, and I have to say that it really deserve every praise it gets. From food to the staff to the location, everything is just perfect. Highly recommended.
R.
Lovely atmosphere, Great service and phenomenal food. Every dish was like a taste explosion.
D.
My parents have always loved OTG. In the past few years my partner and I have started going there and the food (pork belly!!) and service are consistently outstanding. Love the iPad menu as well.
K.
I had mushroom ravioli which was just an ok dish. I thought the pasta was a bit overworked. The sides we had beetroot salad and green beans was nice...enjoyed it much!
N.
I've been to many restaurants in Auckland since 1996 and none beats the quality and standard at OTG in service, in meals, in ambiance and surroundings, and in wine. Exquisite fine dining at it's best, I don't bother dining anywhere else in Auckland now. My family are regulars here. One Tree Grill makes everywhere else look like Denny's.

It's hard to express how wonderful it is to get great service, but these guys know exactly what that is, always there and never there, we had the Degustation which was amazing in itself, but the wine match was something else! Get there! Now!

Perfect place. Attentive friendly waiting staff. Stunning food. Had the whitebait sandwich entree, eye fillet main and rhubarb and custard dessert. The desert is totally divine.

Consistently some of the best food in Auckland

Tucked away, this is the ultimate sleeper restaurant, as good as anything I've found in Auckland with a really chilled relaxed atmosphere.
The food is top notch with great variety.
Thanks for great memories.

The service, food and atmosphere at One Tree Grill is nothing short of amazing - this is our 'go to' place when we feel like being spoilt and it did not disappoint- keep it up - we will return soon for the new menu!

We have fancied a dinner at One tree Grill for a long time. At last we were there for a 6-course degustation dinner. Ora King salmon, seared scallops & lamb belly came as entrées. Salmon was interesting with wasabi, etc., scallops were nice, but lamb belly was not seasoned evenly. I had eye fillet with ox cheek, shiitake & pumpkin - tasted good but slightly over-salty. My wife had market fish (snapper) with spanner crab - fish was lovely but crab meat was overwhelmed by the sauce. Desserts were Meyer lemon curb with frozen yogurt, blackberries, vanilla & sherbet & 53% chocolate with passion fruit, hazelnut & freeze dried raspberries - too much sourness instead of sweetness. Sorry to say, on the whole, it was a good dinner but without any surprise.

Beautiful atmosphere amazing food can’t wait to come back. The scallop dish was the best I’ve eaten perfect balance and flavor 10/10

Ambiance and food (especially the steak) are superb. The only downside is the parking in front of it, only 60 minutes, had to find another street side parking when the main course was served.
