Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food was fantastic, we tried the 18 (small) courses meal with wine pairing, the cheese selection was amazing too. Presentation of each course was great, fantastic service overall. Sadly, the main thing we remember from the evening now was seeing them beg for a tip...after with some pre-filled US-like percent of total price. This is NZ, this has absolutely nothing to do here.More

We had a seriously amazing experience at Sidart, enjoying the 10 course taster menu with non-alcoholic drink pairing that we were gifted. The food was out of this world, delicious and beautiful works of art. All the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly and we...were made to feel really special, especially as we came for a special occasion. We will definitely be coming back!!More

Dining at Sidart was incomparable, memorable beyond my expectations. I opted for the Tasting menu, a ten course tour de force of culinary inventiveness and creativity. As each course was presented, I would think to myself, the next course can't be as good. And then,...to find every single course was better than the last. Highlights were Aged Wagyu, Quail, and a chocolate dessert that was an out of body experience. Service was impeccable. Perfectly timed. Each dish was carefully explained, not robotic, bit passionately introducing the diner to these complex, yet brilliantly conceived unique recipes. Sidart, kudos for an evening that was just amazing!!More

Amazing meal. This was our first stop in Auckland - and a place I would go back. It is an small, intimate venue with outstanding service, a great wine list, and amazing food. It was delicious.

An evening at Sidart is a very memorable experience. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. I tried to pick my favourite course, but with 15 to choose from, it was too difficult. I highly recommend Sidart.

Sidart exceeded expectations! It was the perfect choice for celebrating my birthday with loved ones. The entire experience, from the delightful array of flavors, textures, and visual artistry to the impeccable service operated like clockwork. The menu featured dishes that sparked intriguing conversations at our...table, challenging our palates in the best way possible. A sweet touch was the chef's thoughtful gesture of organizing a mini birthday cake with a candle. I wholeheartedly recommend Sidart for any celebration.

An elegant high end dining experience. We stopped in for the champagne lunch, on a Saturday. The first surprise was the lovely view you are gifted when walking into the dining room. Just wait to enjoy that!!! The food is creative, extremely delicious, and you...will be provided attentive accommodations for any and all dietary restrictions. Make sure you include this in your reservation ahead of time. As significant preparation goes into deviating from the standard menu. Overall a great experience, would definitely return. Thank you to the AMAZING service team who made our dining experience a great success.More

Wow - what an amazing experience for the taste buds. We ventured for a mid-week Taste of Sidart - a three course + entrees and cheese board sampling of the Sidart menu. Apprehensive of fancy pants eating we decided to trial our experience with the...smaller menu and expected to be hungry afterwards and in need of a post-dinner burger to keep us full. We were happily surprised from the impeccable service as we entered the door, the fabulous drinks and the explosion of flavour from each of the courses. The four entrees set the level high, where the dinner remained for the evening. Served as petite fours and disguised as sweet treats we were given unexpected flavour bombs that just kept on going. From textures to complex combinations we were blown away. While the portions were definitely small, it was worth savouring every morsel to enjoy each hit of flavour to the palate. It was probably the slowest I had ever eaten a meal before, and the rich seasonings and rich seasonal items featured on the menu left us feeling full and very content. Highly recommend!More

However with the new chef/owner - we were wowed. Every dish was delectable and the...entire menu was innovative, balanced and well considered - as were te matching wines.
