The Grove Restaurant

Thanks to my friend, I ate at Auckland's TOP10 restaurant this week: The Grove. There was nothing special except the pigeon meat and the wine. My friend thought the main dishes were all good, but every dish was too salty. I feel like Western food has reached its end and there is no new way to do it.

It is a relatively distinctive restaurant in New Zealand. They have many lamb dishes. The lamb tongue has a strong smell of lamb. The oysters are fried, but they are large in size.

This is a very good restaurant with creative cuisine. The dishes here are all made like bonsai, which are relatively healthy. The seafood they serve is oysters, which are very big and have a unique taste after being fried.

Overall it was a very good experience. But there are two small dissatisfactions: 1. When we had dinner, there was a big table next to it that was very noisy, so that we couldn't hear others, and the waiter was difficult to hear people at other tables. 2 We booked for a special occasion, we mentioned this at the time of booking, but the waiter did not mention it at all. However, the service attitude and food and red wine were beyond expectations, which was enough to make up for something else.

This store is a bit like Japanese kaiseki cuisine. There is no fixed menu. The door is selected according to the price. The chef decides what to eat. The taste is very good. It is more creative food. The waiter is very good.
