Hi folks...felt I had to get a review online for this great restaurant as they looked after us so well for lunch this past Mothers Day. This was our first visit, a vegan , a vegetarian and two hungry omnivores. Expected a hectic lunch with frenetic service but from the time I arrived (early) we were made to feel welcome, relaxed and pampered ! It was a stunning warm afternoon sitting at an outside table. Our waitress was charming, patient and knowledgeable. We ordered  sourdough bread (a must), Delicata pumpkin (vegetarians favourite), Brussel sprouts (almond cream sensational), Pea tendril salad (honey dressing a dream) , Roast cauliflower (big and filling), omnivores only ordered a one seafood dish Mussels in a wonderful spicy broth (mopping up with fresh sourdough was my favourite food moment). We shared just one dessert with our coffees - a beautiful berry semi-freddo which was a great way to finish. For wine , the freshness of the voignier and the rose were a perfect on a warm day. Apologies only a few dishes were photographed in our rush to eat. My partner and I often talk about there being two kinds of restaurants. The first kind serves diners plates which have no love in them ie. whomever is in the kitchen doesn't really care. The second kind, into which Cook and Mason fit neatly, is a restaurant that present diners with plates that shine with pride, attention to detail and a love of cuisine. The bill came to about $200 for 4 - a pleasant surprise. All in all can't recommend Cook and Mason highly enough.

I was initially disappointed to hear that Barque had closed as it was fantastic. But this is a more than special replacement. Food is delicious, service is impeccable and the whisky sours are top notch! The stand out aspect has to be the care and attention the owners and chefs put into the ethical and sustainable sourcing of ingredients which positively impacts the environment as well as the flavour of the food. I'll be heading back here again, more than once.

My whole experience at Cook and Mason was brilliant. My girlfriend has a difficult food allergy so I phone ahead to see if the menu would be suitable. The effort for customer satisfaction was incredible. Polite friendly and very accommodating. On arrival, the atmosphere is relaxing as soon as you walk up the stairs to the alfresco deck. All the waitstaff are friendly and genuinely welcoming. Every dish we had was a joy to eat. Craig took us through the menu and explained what the chefs would do to accommodate the dietary requirements. The skill of the chef was evident with the substitutes that they made and out while night there was a great experience from beginning to end. Their cocktails are also definitely worth it!!

Winter afternoon long lunch for a family birthday. Amazing service and food. Will be coming again in a heartbeat. For a family of foodies (and those that were scared of sharing) were surprised and thrilled! Definitely do their $65 set menu - fantastic value - sustainable, free range, amazing
