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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Melbourne eight times now (chch, NZ is home). Cookie is always on the list of places we come to dine and have a few drinks. Service is pleasant and efficient, the food is amazing and the atmosphere always bubbly. Always recommending to friends and colleagues.
