I hadn’t been to The Grill since their Federal Street days, and the newly refurbished space in the Horizon Hotel is a clear upgrade—brighter, roomier, and much more inviting. It was my first time trying their SERVED menu, and it delivered exactly what I’d hoped for: high-quality, delicious dishes. We added a croquette and a cheese soufflé; the croquette was fine, but the soufflé was next-level—light, pillowy, and incredibly decadent. An absolute highlight among the dishes. Another standout was the gnocchi with oxtail ragu and green peas. I never thought I’d rave about peas, but they popped with flavor and paired perfectly with the rich, tender oxtail and beautifully textured gnocchi. Service was equally impressive. Our waitress helped us avoid over-ordering and even suggested the best timing for our add-ons to complement the meal. All evening, the staff were consistently polite and attentive. Overall, a great dining experience and an easy recommendation for a special occasion.

We had our work Christmas dinner here in the private room (which has it's own beautiful ensuite) and it was absolutely brilliant. Every aspect of the set menu was perfection, from the oysters, garlic bread and cheese souffle to the delicious mains and decadent dessert. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning and the staff incredibly professional and helpful. Definitely up market dining and not a budget friendly option. This place is all about top tier dining, and that's exactly what you get.

Best Meal of Our New Zealand Trip! This was easily the best restaurant we ate at during our time in New Zealand! The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. We had the Beef Wellington (make sure to order it a day ahead!) and wow — it was incredible. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and definitely the highlight of our meal. Drinks were great too — everything was just spot on. Can’t recommend this place enough! We’ll 100% be back next time we’re on this side of the world

My husband and I came to The Grill for our honeymoon dinner, it was a amazing experience. The food was presented wonderfully and the service was very friendly and welcoming. We appreciate the love and care that went into the taking care of us on our special night.

One of the best breakfast buffets in Auckland by far and the cost was only $45 per person. The whole place is so beautiful and the food was top notch yummy 😋. The service was amazing too. Well done Sky City 🎉🎉. Dinner review at The Grill - 08.11.25 -Went here for my birthday dinner yesterday and boy it was so good, the food was great. The downfall was our table we reserved was was 20 mins late and while we ordered 2 lots of Mac N Cheese, we ended up with 2 lots of Mash Potatoes 😂. They took it back and kept 1 mash for us for free (Thank you) and we got our Mac N cheese. These things can happen anywhere so I was fine with it. Overall it's worth trying. Beautiful atmosphere and great service by the staff. They gave me a beautiful chocolate plated Happy birthday sign. Thanks The Grill for a wonderful night for my birthday 💜

We had a wonderful dinner there on Wednesday night. The menu offered plenty of great options, complemented by a wide selection of drinks. The ambience was lovely, and we were given a lovely table. Highly recommended and will definitely be back soon!

Had the most amazing steak dinner here. We were here for our anniversary and had the most attentive waitress! Both ordered steak, fries and mac and cheese - all a hit! We opted for some dessert too which was great. Atmosphere was super nice being dimly lit. Would definitely come again!

I have been to this restaurant twice and on both occasions had a wonderful experience. Their signature cocktail is something I recommend especially if you prefer old fashioned cocktails.
