The food was alright, but they served bigger portions than usual so that was a plus.
Loved the chowder and the cauliflower gratin
Steak was so heavy, could not finish it, cooked medium rare. It was delicious.
On top of that, we got 50% off from first table
Will be back
I went for lunch and I had their Chicken Korma. It was the best Chicken Korma I have ever tried in NZ. Looking forward for dinner, which will be happening soon.
Good service, the food is OK. Good place for casual dining, family/friends gathering. Kids friendly (They have kid menu, but not on their website). We ordered salmon, goat, snappers and steak for main; They are OK. The cheese platter is a little bit disappointed,
We've been to The Cut 3x now. Twice for Christmas and once for Valentines. The Christmas Day lunch is amazing, the food is really good. At $139 it is one of the cheaper options in AKL for Christmas dinner. However I did think they could have made more effort with Christmas decor/music. There wasn't much of a Christmas feel to the place. The food outweighs that though, definitely worth going. The wine list is very reasonably priced for Auckland CBD, no complaints there. The bar staff are lovely too.
Love this place. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. I like the lamb a lot, have went back for many times.
Came here with my fiance and another couple for dinner yesterday. We were pleased that they had happy hour for drinks till 7pm. We ordered the sharing meat platter for two while the the couple ordered beef short ribs for two. The beef short ribs were nice and tender. The meat platter was huge and a great value for money. Taste wise, the meat was OK but personally not a wow factor. My favourites were the creamy cauliflower and the lamb. Dessert, however, was extraordinary. We both ordered the honey flan and loved it. Service was attentive and overall it was a pleasant experience.
The oysters were lovely (both baked and raw). The steaks were tender and cooked to perfection. The stand out was the cheesy cauliflower side. Service was very attentive and the ambiance was nice.
Service was great and food well presented . Plenty of drinks options
Good range of food. Value the money and used 1+1 offer. Highy recommended
Service is 5 star and the menu is nice. We ordered market fish which is hapuka and the seafood soup. Market fish is average but the chowder taste good.
Good breakfast buffet with many options including continental. There are cold meats and different kinds of yogurt aswell as breads. Theres only one option for eggs which is scrambled but I didnt ask whether there were other options. Best part was the pancakes, you get them fresh and they are light and fluffy. Staff were very helpful. Restaurant was light and bright with heaps of seating options and a private dining area.
I suggested this place for my team's lunch yesterday, and they loved it. We ordered from the express lunch menu: wagyu burger, wakanui beef steak, fish and chips, and a truffle linguine (mine). Dessert was the chocolate truffon and a lemon cheesecake.
The food portions were great. The dishes were simple but very flavourful. We also enjoyed the ambience, as it was a quiet day. It gave us a chance to chill and relax with colleagues, and we had lovely staff to take care of our requests.
Since ours was a big-ish group (8 people), we made reservations and ordered the food ahead of time. The food arrived within 5 minutes after we arrived. Would highly suggest this to reduce your wait times, especially for groups.
Highly recommend this place if you're planning ahead and if you'd like a quiet lunch spot during the weekdays.
Thank you! Our meals were not only presented beautifully but tasted delicious!
If you’re in Akland NZ, be sure to stop in for a meal! Staff tonight served up well & the most attentive to a full house. I’ll be back! Not halal, but indeed options for vegetarian only.
Loved it. I only popped in to see my friends but they couldn't have been more accommodating. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food looked unreal. I heard it was too! I can't wait to come back! The mash potato alone is worth returning for!
Very reasonable pricing of food but the lunch menu is very limited. Loved the bubblegum mocktail. We pre-ordered so food came right on time and the place was pretty much empty for early lunch. Was good to have a quiet place to ourselves with attentive staff.
Delicious food, fairly priced. We had a group of 16 and the service was great. Ciki the waitress was particularly helpful and friendly.
The steak was overcooked, so if you wanted medium, you should order the medium rare I believe.
I love the fish & chips & it's my 3rd time having it as its amazin! My hubby had the Beef burger this visit & its huge & juicy! Definitely worth the money. Staff are friendly & as it's a weekday night, the restaurant was quieter than usual but we enjoyed it more as it feels cozier dining this time round at the high table/chair area near the bar.. Definitely coming back here to dine our next visit to Auckland.
Stayed at the Rydges hotel few days for a conference. Had a buffer breakfast and a dinner.
The buffet breakfast is overrated. Selection is ok but not great. No Asian variations. Taste is what you expected but no surprise. The have an automatic coffee machine, costs extra if you order coffee from the cafe. I only found out when I paid the bill. In my opinion, not worth even with the promotional price of $28.
The foods for dinner is much better comparatively. The olive butter is a bit weird. The local oysters were ok. The lamb rump was very delicious. Overall, not bad.
The service was amazing, wait staff were all super lovely and so was the manager. The food could definitely be improved, the wok greens looked a little sad and overcooked and the fish wasn't fresh.
Overall a good experience due to the atmosphere, comfortable seating and the wait staff.
The service was excellent and our waiter was quite nice. The steak was cooked to perfection! Overall the quality of food was superb and it is reflected in the price of the meals. It was very convenient having such a good restaurant in the hotel. Breakfast the next day was also incredible, the selection of dishes, the presentation, and the quality was more than I could have asked for in a breakfast buffet!

In the spirit of Amex Restaurant Month and having been impressed with the catering from a conference held at Rydes during the day, I was excited to try their restaurant for dinner.
The restaurant is very sleek with duck egg shell blue colored walls with light wooden accents and plush grey seating. I ordered from an impressive showcasing of New Zealand reds and enjoyed a South Canterbury Pinot Noir to accompany my options from the special menu.
We enjoyed The Cut signature seafood chowder and pork cheek with pear beet slaw and pickled Brussel sprouts and the pork was so succulent and unctuous especially with a side of smoked potato mash. Followed on by corn fed baked chicken breast on yam purée, jus, Jerusalem artichoke crisps and snow peas and the crispy pork belly on kumara purée, roasted fennel and blanched kale. The chicken was gorgeous and mouth watering.
For dinner, we enjoyed a Meyer lemon cake with passion fruit meringue and chocolate opera cake with espresso mousse. It was a wonderful crescendo to the meal.
Overall, the dimming experience was wonderful for the quality and standard of the cuisine. There were inconsistencies with service between staff, where the standard servers were very polite and warm compared to the senior. This is a place I’d like to revisit and highly recommend for the cuisine.
