Beef cheek croquettes and the market fish were absolutely delicious! The spinach and ricotta dumplings were mediocre! Lovely decor and lovely service.
Nice place and friendly staff 😊
Been here a few times for after work drinks and lunch and cannot fault the place. The happy hour special is great and it's just a nice spot to knock back a few brews.

Service was great every staff was smiling and very nice when they were serving us. The food taste was absolutely gorgeous! Especially the mashed potato and the fish if the day. We used our Zomato Gold here and I would say that I am willing to pay for the full price for the service and the quality of food that you are getting. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Really nice spot in centre of the city! The food was delicious. The indoor seating is very comfy and cozy (there’s also outdoor seating). Nice decor and very lively atmosphere. The staff were really polite and service was fairly quick. 5/5 would recommend!!
Beautiful decoration, great service and amazing food! We ordered the rib eye filet which was delicious but a bit small, the highlight was the lamb rump, would definitely come back for that.
Want to know where to get one of the best lamb rump 🥩in Auckland? You are reading the right post✅! And had the best lamb rump ever! It was so tender😋 so juicy💦 the lamb just melts in your mouth. It was not too oily😣 like some lamb dishes can get. It also came with avo puree🥑 which is always a plus. Rita ordered the market fish 🐟and the prawn🦐 on it looks amazing too. With Zomato Gold it is so much easier to enjoy a fancy dish like this. Thanks @pilkingtons_no41 for amazing food
I really like this place for the food and vibe but I just wanna let pilkingtons know that they use plates with lots of little dots on them :( I’m not a big fan and neither are a lot of my friends so just wanted to make a comment. I think restaurants should generally avoid those kind of patterns for the plates they serve food on. I just ate as quickly as possible and got the plate taken away.
I used first table here and was at the restaurant before it started filling in. The atmosphere and indoor decoration is absolutely lovely. The service is also spot on and makes you know you’re paying for a great service. The food was also unique and beautifully presented. This is a place I’d definitely come back for special occasions to make it easier on my wallet.
Great ambience and service from staff. Menu is good and has ample options for everybody. Food was delicious and drinks were well made too. Definitely recommend to others.
The restaurant was fancy and nice! Even the food, eyefillet, was perfect! It was tender and juicy but ravioli was a little salty for me. I wish they had a non-alcohol drinks menu as well.
Trendy restaurant, bar and brunch spot in downtown Auckland. We had dinner and cocktails here and enjoyed the space, vibe and food. The focaccia and prawn and crab ravioli were stand out and the maple roasted carrots and market fish were also great.
Went for some dinner with some friends and it was quite a lovely experience. The staff were accommodating, food is a bit pricey and according to my friends could have more flavour. Drinks were amazing and would come again! Atmosphere was very nice as well!
Finally got around to dining at Pilkingtons through first table!
It was a great experience honestly. The vibes were immaculate, the waiter and waitress were very helpful and friendly too.
The focaccia bread is a must! 10/10
Lamb skewers - 9/10 , definitely a must. Only a 9 because there should’ve been more! Haha.
Fried crumbed spinach gnocchi - 9/10 as well, would get again and would definitely recommend.
The braised lamb ragu - 5/10.
This was a slightly disappointing dish in all honesty, hence why the 4/5 overall.
It just lacked flavour and seemed liked corned mutton with cheese and pasta bits.
Overall, I would go back to Pilkingtons for drinks and other bites to try! :)
10/10 service! Got a walk in for bottomless brunch ($65), which was excellent value for 2 hours of non stop drinks, and delicious food. Vegetarian friendly and shareable bites with a wider choice of drinks than average. The floor and bar staff were so attentive, friendly, competent and generally sound. The vibes and decor are gorgeous, and the music was great too!

Had an excellent experience with our party of 13 during their bottomless lunch! Communication was thorough and so helpful beforehand, despite needing a few changes. The Brazilian lady who served us was so attentive. Thank you!

I visited Pilkingtons during Restaurant Month 2020 and was excited to dine here after hearing many positive reviews. Upon arriving, I was warmly greeted and seated by such attentive staff.
The restaurant decor is beautiful, opulent and light like a glass enclosure with marble and gold features. I was very impressed by the wine list as there was a wonderful selection.
The restaurant month menu is what I opted for and also had some artisan bread with whipped home butter. This was absolutely wonderful with my Barossa Shiraz.
As part of the set menu, my entree was a roasted beetroot with grilled radicchio, soured cream, candied walnut and beetroot gel. This dish was amazing, I loved the textures and complimentary flavors with meringue shards within.
My main was a long line market fish with roasted cauliflower, walnuts, kale, golden raisins, burnt butter and ajo blanco. This dish was delicious and served with a complementary Gewurztrauminer.
To finish of I ordered the cheeseboard with a glass of Zinfandel.
My dining experience was truly wonderful with exquisite food and wine and exceptional service. Highly recommended with highest distinction!
Held an event last week at Pilkingtons and can't rave about it enough! Gorgeous venue and atmosphere with an inside area & the outside terrace exclusive for our use. Food was delicious and Bonsay, the duty manager, was outstanding, as were all of the serving staff. Highly recommend the gin tree! A really great evening, thank you Vanessa!
Been twice of late; a bottomless brunch for a friend's birthday and today for my birthday! Amazing service, food stunning and thanks to Vanessa for the recognition today (& telling us about a certain Jason!)
A city centre restaurant in the midst of the business district but don't dismiss this New York-kinda restaurant vibe!
Will be back...oh the home made focaccia (spelling) is to die for. Get that butter on while it's hot.
