Good service. Good food. Good vibe. MUSIC TOO LOUD! Probably wouldn’t go back because of music volume. Real shame as the staff are really good.

12th time at Cookie. Great food, ambiance and service. The staff are always welcoming, the menu selection is diverse and the flavours are excellent. If you like pacific rim dishes with a wide aw too. If beer then this is a must visit spot in Melbourne.

could not have asked for a better barman - persolanized knowledgeable and friendly service, with recommendations of things we'd never have tried, and now love. As for food, totally gave up and left it to our lovely waitress to feed us. She nailed it perfectly. What a great vibe, congratulations on your fabulous, lively venue. Highly recommended to all that head to Melbourne - top of our list. Cherie

Service & food excellent. Enjoyed it very much. Maybe it’s an age thing but I found the venue very noisy, very hard to hear the person opposite me. The management have ticked all boxes at Cookie! If they were considering intimate dining at another venue, I’d suggest change nothing, take what you have created into a quieter venue! 5 Stars plus

Cookie still has a fantastic atmosphere. My friends and I have been going there for lunch since they opened around 18 maybe 20 years ago. We love the menu as it caters for all our peculiar variations of vegie, vegan, gluten free etc. etc. etc. And the food is always great. Consistently delicious year in, year out. Of course it wouldn't be a review of Cookie without mentioning the extraordinary wine and beer lists too. All round great venue for small or large gatherings.

Cookie is a Melbourne institution! The food, atmosphere and service are always excellent. We enjoyed our lunch on this occasion, it was very quiet in the dining hall - this enabled us to relax and enjoy the space.

Food was fantastic, but had to wait an hour for entrees and the waiter was very pushy. He kept trying to tell us to choose options other than the ones we selected and once our meals did arrive, we never saw him again.

Nice food but the music was so loud we had to almost shout at each other and the wait staff to make ourselves heard. Our first table was close to the bathrooms and we had to ask to be moved, as there was a really bad, toilet-type smell lingering around the area.
