The Shakespeare Brewery

Pierre, our waiter, was outstanding and demonstrated a deep knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. From the moment we arrived, every aspect of our dining experience was flawless—something quite rare! I highly recommend this restaurant for food enthusiasts and wine lovers who appreciate a leisurely meal. Having traveled extensively, I can confidently say that The Grove is the finest restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of visiting.

What an incredible dinner! From the warm welcome at the entrance to the outstanding, attentive service and the mouthwatering, innovative dishes, this was truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. We will absolutely return when we visit Auckland again. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you're considering dining here, go for it! You won’t be disappointed.

Thank you for a fantastic evening! Your staff were impeccable, from the custom cocktails to their explanations of the delectable menu. The food was exquisite, and the wine pairings were excellent, including our discussion about the dessert wine selection. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Simply epic dining experience! Loved our dinner there. Attentive service and really felt they wanted to please us which they did. Amazing food and lovely wine matches. Will remember as the best restaurant I have dined at ever.

Stunning meal, even better service. It doesn't get much better than a bombe Alaska topped with meringue LIVE at your table then torched and set alight with absinthe and accompanied by the most exquisitely executed kumquat souffle...and that was but ONE of seven amazing courses PLUS three amuse bouche, bread with house made butter, palate cleanser à la John Kirwan and a beautiful birthday plate for my niece who was celebrating her 14th birthday. The Wagyu...the veal courgette flower....the tomato consomme on the scampi terrine...seriously there's nothing else to say ...stunning!
