Visited Dine twice in recent months and having enjoyed a wonderful time on both occasions, decided to share the experience.

The second visit I enjoyed the duck for my main course and had an assiette ( a mixed plate of several smaller versions from the dessert menu )Whilst I clearly enjoyed myself and fell short of licking the china plate. The same was reported by my friends who also had very good things to say about the wine list.

Dine by Peter Gordon is a grown up restaurant, ambiance with a sense of occasion, fabulous food, a decent wine list at reasonable prices and service that lets you know, your somewhere where people care about about their craft and have a real sense of pleasure in looking after people.

If you appreciate quality and lets face it, who doesn’t and if you can’t afford New York then go because it’s every bit as good as just about everything there.

As a treat to ourselves on our 14th wedding anniversary we dined at DINE!
we are foodies from taranaki and were not disappointed.
even though we were there early, 5.30, and the only ones there to start with there was loads of atmosphere in such a beautiful dinning room, were given the choice of the menu or a special which was 2 courses for $60. we chose the later and had an entirely lovely meal, stunningly presented, the service was impeccable and friendly, it was probably quite obvious that we weren’t locals due to the camera coming out a few times but we weren’t made to feel in anyway inferior.
we had the dessert platter which is 3 desserts to share, but it came out with 5!….I’m farely sure that was just for us on our anniversary. then when we went to leave the waitress told us not to leave yet, so waited and then she presented us a beautiful glass platter with ‘happy anniversary’ and a couple of petite fours. That just made our night! highly recommend for anyone anytime especially a special occasion!
p.s the food was FANTASTIC!

Fabulous food and fabulous experience for my graduation surprise. Best wine i have had in ages and service was impeccable. The scallop was simply melt in your mouth…the dessert sampler was also generous and amazing. Tapioca especially. It’s not just a meal its an experience. Can’t wait to go back.

I was expecting something amazing, and Dine is mediocre. The service was ok, the food was nice, but there was no wow factor, and it was not as good as I was expecting. You can eat nicer food for much less.
It gets 3 stars instead of 2 because the coffee did have that wow facor- really good.

The best restaurant in Auckland. Food is fantastic and staff are freindly but not over bearing. Been there many times and the food is always consistent.

We had dinner there the day after our wedding and got a complimentary dessert platter!

An elegant restaurant-beautiful food and, as you would expect for these prices, a professional approach to service.

The food can be very complex. It is skilfully handled but, I believe, requires a “foodie” mentality to appreciate paying the high prices.
A lovely experience for a special night.

Went as a group for a business dinner. Great taste, FANTASTIC wine. Pricey but this was expected. We got the little room reserved for large groups and I found this room to be very classy.

First time at Dine and although I had eye fillet better in other restaurants my overall experience was still excellent.Friendly waiting staff but not in your face and timing was good esp in taking plates away etc.Ambiance was also very relaxing.Will definitely go back.

I went to dine last night for the dine Early special… two course for only 55. The food was spectacular to say the least. I had the venison for entree and it was very very tasty. My friend had the pork belly and scallop which was also good but not as nice as the venation. For my second course I had the prime eye fillet and it literally melted in my mouth. Cooked to PERFECTION. The sides were particularly nice also. I could have eaten a thousand of those steaks though, they were so good. The service was also superb with the waiters being on the ball and even helping us put our coats on at the end. If only all men did that!

Its ok…. avoid the poor quality, stingy salads and the overpriced sides. The mains are decent and tasty, tiny portions though. Staff somewhat over friendly. Alright place for Auckland

I have tried Dine once and the food was very good.

My colleague tried to reserve a table for 13 (for Xmas dinner) but got a very snooty and mind numbingly stupid attitude – they only took a group by 10, but not for 13!

Peter Gordon has his great reputation by creating great food but the restaurant failed to maintain a good customer relationship. A good restaurant not only should have good food but the customer service is what enhances the over all experience. Sometimes it could ruin its good reputation. Mr. Gordon, find out who has been ruining your reputation and do something about it!

Dine is a place for the complex palette.
The food was nice but too complicated and we felt a little over-priced.
The amuse-bouche (free) was the best part of the meal as it was clean and simple.
Not one for those who don’t appreciate complexity and what seems like 20+ ingredients in each dish. Sometimes we think fresh and simple can be better.
