Reviews - Cookie
Reviews summary
Cookie offers amazing food with a wide selection that is sure to satisfy any palate. While some reviewers noted that the service was lacking at times, the overall dining experience was positive. The atmosphere is lively and a bit noisy, making it more suitable for casual dining rather than business meetings or romantic dinners. The extensive drink menu, including well-crafted cocktails, adds to the overall appeal of the restaurant. Despite some minor shortcomings, Cookie is a highly recommended spot for those looking to enjoy delicious food and drinks in a vibrant setting.
Was Overpriced at Cookie a mag?
Everything was delicious except for the broccoli rice salad which was a little bland. The music was loud, but that's the kind of vibe of this place. The drink lists are extensive and would be a good reason alone to go here. Book early or sit at the bar. View all feedback.
What AmandaS dislikes about Cookie:
This has been my 3rd time at Cookie and the food is always amazing! However the server was not attentive to us at all, she looked bored and was not very helpful when we asked her for recommendations on the menu, and how many dishes we should have. We finished our drinks before the food was served and she did not ask if we wanted more, nor filled up our water glasses until we finally waved her down to ask. By the time... View all feedback.

Great atmosphere, food, drinks, and service. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Had a friend's birthday party here on a Saturday night. Private venue was so great. The set menu was delicious and with different flavours that all guests could share. Service was lovely and very detailed focused. The only thing I would suggest is I have the volume not to loud it was hard to hear and talk. I mean people are there to chat more than to hear music right? Anyway definitely a place to go back to! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $60–80 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

The food was amazing, a good selection. The waitress we had wasnt particularly helpful in our ordering process however it worked out well in the end. The restaurant itself is pretty noisy so probably not an ideal setting for business conversations. Not cheap but not too expensive either the food was delicious!
I've been to Cookies a couple of times and so far, the food's standard has been increasingly disappointing. We ordered the prawn firecracker, curried soft shell crab and crispy pork belly curry. The star of the night was the prawn firecracker- the spring roll itself was nothing to shout about, but the coriander and avocado dip was amazing. But the positives stop there. Not only did we have to wait almost 40 minutes for our food to be served, the crispy pork belly was definitely not crispy at all and the waitress had made a mistake with last order and served us a seafood curry dish instead of the curried soft shell crab. We were not given much of a choice as we were told that making the dish we ordered would take too long and the waitress tried to convince us that the seafood curry dish is just as tasty and would give it to us at a discount. Overall, it was rather underwhelming considering their dishes are not that cheap- there are definitely more affordable places out there serving quality Thai food.
We took the option of having a banquet (8 people). The food was ok some really good, other dishes average. What I don't like is being ushered out by 7:45 and refused any desert or coffee. I understand that this is the way restaurants are going these days, but it makes for a very unpleasant experience at the end of your meal. We had to go somewhere else to enjoy more cocktails, dessert and coffees. Not going back.
Catching up with some old friends at Cookies was a great experience, though I think there is scope to reduce Butter and Sweetness sugar) in the dishes.
Overall we loved the food here. However it is difficult to find. Very noisey and dark. Dont go for a romantic dinner or a business meeting coz you cant hear a thing. Otherwise staff were great.

Can't get the 5 star button hard enough slam. The food was delicious, although I was usually not a fan of Thai food. The drinks were fantastic and the staff was 10/10. Always be on the head to throw our water, and only a cheerful attitude in general.
Must be back. The food was so delicious! The scallops were my favorite. Didn't have enough time to finish everything, but next time I'll take my time. Huge selection of beer, cocktails and wine
This place is still outstanding after a 3.5-year gap. My favourite bar in Melbourne and still a great service, drinks and food. The waiting staff, where very helpful and attentive.
What an amazing place! The food is fantastic. Both tasty and aesthetically pleasing. There is a MASSIVE cocktail menu. I had a Bend The Knee and it was incredible. Accompanied by the drunks of Noodles who were spicy and had incredible taste. Good mood, fast service and delicious food drink.
Had an early booking after a show at the Comedy Theatre. Glad we did as it was pumping when we left. The staff members were super friendly and delightful. Love the multitude of menus and the help we got when they were a bit overwhelming. Ended up with Pash Rash and Bend the Knee to drink. DIY betel leaves, whizz fizz chicken, pad Thai !: the fried al egg and pork belly salad. All delicious but whizz fizz chicken a winner.
