Good atmosphere, drinks were also very good. Food was slightly disappointing. The price was reasonable within being cheap. The staff were both attentive and helpful, particularly with food allergies

Really Delish food! Great service. Our server was very knowledgeable and recommended some great dishes despite one of us having a seafood allergy. Highly recommend going here.

Always great food at Cookie. The five spice chicken is a flash version of KFC and the scallop entrée was awesome. And they have the best beer list in town!

We love Cookie, it is quirky, food is wonderful (including plenty of choices for vegetarians) and we love the history of Curtin House, the old Communist Party HQ and an SP betting shop. View from the little balconies over Swanston Street and the tops of the Plane trees has a great Melbourne feel. Friday lunch was busy and quite noisy. We had requested a table near the windows but our assigned table was at the other end - OK though. Staff were busy but always obliging and very friendly and helpful. Our friends who had not been there previously, said that they really enjoyed it.

Table was not ready, was made to wait, poor service and felt like it was 40 degrees inside the place. Ended up leaving without waiting

Excellent Food! Service was reasonable, and could be improved if more staff were available. Unfortunately it was Mothers Day and was packed. Lovely ambiance and staff catered well for our daughter when we got their attention. All in all a great experience and we are sure to return! On another note as they say they do not having takeaway license you can not get a doggy bag!

Fantastic place to eat. Food was amazing, service excellent and cocktails were unbelievable! The rooftop bar was great. Can imagine what it's like when the weather is good. The only negative was that there way too many cocktails to choose from.

Flavours were very tasty but presentation of the meals was less than you would expect for a restaurant with such a great rep. Great value but they need to prepare the produce with more care and take better cuts of meat.

You just cannot pick a bad meal from this menu. So many great options that if you are a regular, you can be assured that if you pick your 1 favourite and few new ones, you'll always be well fed. Massive kudos go to the wait staff who are more than happy to give you a sample of a few different wonderful ales to help your decision about the ones you'd most like to enjoy with dinner. I come to Melbourne for this place!

One of my favourite restaurant/ bar in Melbourne. Loved the service, food and the wide selection of beers and wines. Ordered pad thai, fried calamari and crispy pork salad with fried egg & celery salad. The pork wasn't very crispy which was a slight let down, however the other two dishes were excellent.

Cookie always has great food, delicious drinks and a very Melbourne vibe, however on this visit service could be a little more attentive, especially since it was a mid week dinner.

Brilliant food, great space and cheerful efficient service. The selection is incredible and the waiter advised us we had ordered too much and made excellent suggestions. The flavours were brilliant, fresh, clean and the right amount of heat. It's one of my favourite lunch spots.

Great food, great atmosphere. Unfortunately the service was well below average. We felt forgotten about which is terrible considering we spent over $450. It will be a while before we return here again, it at all.

Cookie never fails to please - food is always fantastic, reasonably priced and great atmosphere. Great for a drink after work or a bite to eat (and live that you can book for the restaurant) - it's a must for anyone visiting Melbourne.

Fantastic eclectic venue in an historic building. The staff were welcoming and extremely helpful. Our Matre De sat down and discussed our preferences and presented a suburb selection of dishes matched with wine. Must be the most extensive and and authentic Thai menu in Australasia (AKA the Antipodes).
