One of my all time favourite restaurants to visit when there is something very special to celebrate is Clooney, which brings a little New York to Auckland and is packed with style and great food. Head chef Des Harris seems to garner one award after another with good reason, and there is even a private dining area if you like the idea of a secluded spot all your own. We love you Clooney!
As self proclaimed 'foodies', my husband I love to go out for dinner. As a treat for my birthday I was given $200 worth of vouchers to Clooney - one of the premium restaurants on my 'dine out wish list!'. As I was pregnant at the time, we decided to wait until bubs was born so that we could go and enjoy not only the amazing food, but also experience the wine matches that make a meal go from good to 'amazing!. We finally used the vouchers on our wedding anniversary, and it was soooo worth the wait. We opted for the degustation menu, and are so pleased we did. The waiter was incredibly knowledgable, and so discreet at not interuptting all the time. I was quite dubious about one of the courses (carpaccio of ostrich) and had let him know my concerns. He encouraged me to give it a go as apparently most people enjoy it once they try it. Unfortunately, I was in the minority that wasn't a fan, but was more than happy to leave it at that. However the waiter noticed, and to make up for it, he very generously arranged for an additional dessert course as he felt bad for encouraging me to try something that didn't end up being to my taste. We were incredibly impressed, and very grateful. Every course was a perfect explosion of flavour, texture and taste. We spent over 3 hours getting through it all, and loved every moment. This is the perfect special ocassion restaurant, and I'm counting down until we can go again. TOP SERVICE, AMAZING CREATIVE FOOD, and OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE.
