O'Connell St Bistro

It was my dining experience at O’Connell Street Bistro as one my good friend recommended we try and I was extraordinarily impressed. The service was exceptional as our waiter was extremely attentive and professional not to mention engaging and knowledgeable. The restaurant interior was simply elegant. One by one as our entrees, mains then dessert came out following the gorgeous complementary bread platter, I was visually stunned and the aromas were heady and beguiling only to be overshadowed by the divine flavouring of each dish. It was a highly memorable dinner and one I anticipate repeating. My favourite dish was the rock lobster ravioli, simply heavenly. Highly recommended!

Outstanding food and service - we had a lovely waitress from Toronto and very capable somelier who knew his wines! The food was sublime. The entree calamari has a nice hit of chilli accompanied by a good mayo. For mains we had the lamb and the chef special of braised chuck steak. Wow! The flavour in both was amazing and hard to fault. Well accompanied by the recommended wines. After a week of great food this was of and even higher standard. Recommend for a special occasion.

Lovely, ambient atmosphere due to thoughtful touches such as the tableware and lighting. Varied menu in a really interesting wine list that contains some unusual varieties backed by an excellent sommelier. The owners of O'Connell Street bistro understand how to make dinner out feel special.

The best customer service I have ever experienced! Staff is so attentive and makes sure you have a good time. Food was divine and wine was perfectly selected by staff to accompany the food.

Amazing course within 60$ for 4 course and 40$ with wines. Nice and kind staffs, delicious food in CBD

Lovely little restaurant in the CBD of Auckland, recommended to us by the staff of the Gin Bar this place has a simple elegance with friendly staff and modern cuisine to match. Booking ahead on weekends is a good idea as there are limited seats, however if you manage to catch a table by the service window you will be able to watch the chefs plate up all the lovely meals throughout the night. Well crafted menu with attention placed on quality over quantity. Would very much recommend for a romantic evening out

One of the best restaurants in town. The food is amazing and the service is superior. Monay worth spending!
