Cookie Restaurant

The food always great, the service even better.. it's Melbournes best local go to place, never let's you down.. but make sure you book

Food was nice, but slightly over priced. Service was terrible, slow and inattentive. Considering we had an early booking it wasn't that busy yet. However staff were happy to stand around and talk amongst themselves instead of tending to our table. Given the price to eat here, we were very disappointed with the service. Music was also too loud later on, found ourselves shouting to each other to try and have a convo.

Tasty food, a bit confusing with all of the different menus. Standouts were the soft shell crab, and the lotus root salad. Service was a bit chaotic, it was hard to track down people, but when you did they were lovely. All in all, we would go again!

Sadly this visit to Cookie was a real let down. I have lost count of the number of times we have been to this restaurant and the number of friends and family members we've introduced to it. Never in 13 years have I had a disappointing experience here, but unfortunately, this was the day. Despite booking weeks in advance and requesting a secluded spot, we were automatically shown to the table right near the door. When I asked politely if there was another option, the maître d seemed put out and snooty and made a comment about us needing to be out by 8:00PM - which was our original booking slot. Disappointingly, they no longer have Leffe Blonde on tap and another beer by Leffe that was on the menu and ordered could then not be supplied. We were also charged for this on the bill and had to ask for a correction, given if it was $3.00 more than the beer that was eventually supplied. My husband loved his usual - the fish curry - and the cashew nut, tomato and cucumber salad was delicious and fresh. My drunken noodle favourite with minced pork and green chillis however, was scant on noodles and had huge chunks of egg throughout, so it really wasn't the normal perfectly balanced dish I know and love. After years of having the same loyal professional and amazing staff at Cookie, the last 6 times we've been, I haven't seen any of those wonderful people who made our experiences so special and went over and above to elevate the food and drink to a whole other level. It's such a shame. This one sorry episode won't in all likelihood keep us away, but it will push us to find some other favourites in the city and ones that value their loyal clientele.

Food was ok and service friendly. Great choice of music but it was so incredibly loud it was impossible to have a conversation. Very disappointing

Food was delicious and aromatic, drinks got me sufficiently sauced

Fantastic meal, the most extensive wine list I have seen. The knowledge of the wine, beer and food from the staff was amazing. Our waitress was very helpful with menu choices and special requirements.

Booked for NYE celebration dinner and despite being seated in a corner where it was really hot, they accommodated our request to be moved to a better table.

It is such a perfect location to bring visitors as it's such a central and Melbournian restaurant. Loved the food and the atmosphere. The service was good.

After many visits here, I am yet to be delivered a questionable dish, everything it seems, is good. Always Authentic and consistently great Thai food

Between two we got a small medium and large plate. Wish we got a small and 2 medium. Large was really big, good for 3-4 people. Scallops are fab and duck is amazing ! Flavors are delicious. Atmosphere is great, buzzing ! Would definitely go back. Menu is filled with gorgeous dishes. Waitress was very helpful and friendly. Cookie is hard to find, its in "The Curtin House" on first floor.

Great food, although I asked for a vegan pad Thai and was served it with egg, the rest of the dishes were very tasty. Very friendly service!

Staff are excellent, a bit noisy, but all the main dishes has chilli in them! If you like chili this is the place to go.

Amazing range of food beautifully presented in a size to suit any taste! Huge range of wines, beers, cocktails and spirits to choose from all served by friendly attentive staff

Fantastic food - however service a bit slow. The menu features a lot of pork dishes - which makes selecting a variety of meat dishes difficult.

The food is always amazing, but the service was very lacking. My husband ordered a beer, which they had run out of, and rather than tell us, it just never came. It was also a hot day, and it got very hot and humid in there very quickly.

Our waitress was D'Arcy and she was hilarious. She made excellent menu selections based on our tastes and despite it being busy was always there when we needed something.

Amazing food and wonderful service. The Atmosphere was great too. We weren't rushed and we able to sit and enjoy a few drinks after dinner too

We went for NYE and we were so happy we chose to go to Cookie! We got great food and service! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique restaurant in Melbourne

The food was very nice, although there was no takeaway of leftover food as we over ordered. Service was also slightly slow with a reasonable wait

Exceptional food and service. Staff were happy to recommend dishes from the menu . I visit every time I'm in Melbourne and will definitely be back!

Cookie has a big vibe, enormous selections of foods, wines, beers & cocktails and cool staff who memorise large orders & have great people skills!

Great place for food, fantastic wine and drinks menu. Staff are knowlegable and helpful with just the right amount of attitude. Always a destination when in Melbourne

Delicious Asian/Aussie fusion food, amazing variety of beers on tap and courteous and knowledgable service - table or bar service- if its warm try a balcony table ! 😄

Great food, fantastic services, and an amazing wine list! Trendy and relaxed dining room. I would recommend booking a balcony table, with views over Swanson Street.

Pork belly was super dry...almost tasted over-microwaved. However, service was impeccable!! Still a great venue, hopefully it was just a one-off disappointment. Cya next year. AS from the Gold Coast

It was a very busy period between Christmas and New Year and table bookings were hard to get. It was also a very hot evening and service for drinks was very slow considering tables are only available for a strict two hours. The food was amazing, particularly the pork red curry, green curry and tofu pad thai.

Great food, service and ambiance. Cookie is a must to restaurant to dine at however be aware they have a two HR sitting policy. Book ahead ax always busy.

Table allocation was a little small for four people (a table for 2 was provided) even though booked early. Food was nice. Service was a little slow.

It was so easy to book a table at Cookie. I received a text message to confirm, and was able to change the time to an earlier time on the same day. Fantastic service, friendly staff, and delicious food. Lots of choices of beverages and food for all budgets. Highly recommend.

Great place to eat. Really enjoyed the food and service here. Only problem is, they have 2 hour table booking times. Overall a nice venue

Great food and best caprioskas in melbourne. Always busy and noisy in a good way. Great city venue to catch up with friends before a gig

Great service and atmosphere but an off night for food! Unusual to get overlooked bland food from Cookie! Must have been an off night in the kitchen!

Really great meal and experience. Caters well for dietary requirements. Great vegan and gluten free options. Thank you very much for a great evening - enjoyed our dinner

Great food. Love the 5 spice fried chicken. Heaps of excellent beers to choose from. Lovely staff. I keep going back because I know what I get and what I get is always good.

Excellent all round great wine choices great service and food was outstanding every thing you could ask for , overall fantastic eating experience , and reasonable prices

Great atmosphere, great service, great beer selection! Our meal was well presented and tasted great too. Maybe a bit much chilli. We love spicy food but were a bit overwhelmed. Will choose more carefully next time. Will come back again.

Amazing food fantastic place love Cookie Chicken curry gorgeous! Pad Thai, salmon, duck salad Luv luv luv the flavours , golden boooks, friendly staff, extensive wine list

Great menu and nice service. It was at lunchtime and we were close to the balcony whose window-doors were open, and we enjoyed a view of the town. The nice weather made everything even more enjoyable.

excellent food and service. the entire experience went smoothly. the food came out fast, was extremely well presented, hot and was very tasty. we will be back again. thank you

Great food and decent service considering the pre-Christmas Friday lunch rush. Love the green curry chicken and corn dumplings, but all of the food was great...

I love the share plate idea so a variety of dishes can be tried as all were delicious. The cocktails were great and the atmosphere was lovely and good service.

Had a great night @ Cookie with friends from Toowoomba. Fantastic food menu and a wine list to make a grown man weak at the knees. Most definitely be back again. Service from staff was first class as well.

Yummy food, amazing wine list and a feel good vibe. The duck coconut salad was delicious. A glass of wine on the sunny balcony topped off a perfect afternoon. I will be back again soon!

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. We were in a bit of a rush and they were really accomodating, we were in and out in just over an hour and had feasted like kings during that time. Highly recommended!

Nice food good service great cocktail list and very extensive drinks menu with a large range of beers and wines ,after lunch we popped upstairs to the rooftop bar was very busy including a DJ .

Cookie met all our expectations as recommended by family members. Fantastic extremely tasty food. We have travelled extensively throughout Asia & Thailand, and have never had better food. Very highly recommended.

Waiter didnt take order properly and food didnt seem to be its usual standard. Very busy friday night so maybe stressed. Usually big fan..very noisy
