FISH Restaurant Auckland Reviews from The Last Year
Tomorrow's FISH : You won't terribly miss.
"Tomorrow's Fish are still in the sea" so proclaims 'FISH' restaurant - the marquee dining joint of Auckland's Hilton, to underscore how fresh its produce is. I've visited it multiple times in the company of many fine people over the years, all adding up to some dependable truths - you won't be terribly disappointed here, neither will you be supremely elated ; some blessed dishes will knock your socks off, while Hilton joins Cordis/Langham and even newer glam blokes like SO-Sofitel in the underwhelming feat of not crafting even one 5 star hotel marquee restaurant that leaves you lusting to return. Service is just about okay, and is sadly pathognomonic of almost all the NZ hotel and restaurant industry's lax hospitality standards. My multiple visits here over the years have revealed that I could recognize no familiar faces, complemented by there being none in the staff who recognized me. Forget recognition, just the smoothly choreographed process of top-level hospitality which requires considerable grace, charm and assiduity is simply not on display here. Most if not all the staff were young and green, and they were remiss on more than one instance. The waitress who attended to me for the first hour likely finished her shift at nine o' clock - some managers might dismiss this as an invalid gripe, but there's something to be said for at least one person anchoring and hosting your whole evening from start to finish. Besides, if you are really keen to reward a good server with a tip, you're less likely to do it if the finishing staff were not there for much of the earlier stages of the experience. Polished wood has been liberally used for the set-up but there is not much distinctive appeal to the place at night, with both carpets and tablecloths done away with. By day, some of the blue water of the harbour generously helps the view, which the restaurant has promptly tried to capsize by stripping the lunch menu of most of the highlights of the dinner offerings. "Kingfish Panipuri" - Panipuri is a crisp shell filled with a pleasantly piquant liquid that softly explodes inside your mouth. The version here generated no such spin or swim in tart, black salt waters - 'twas instead filled with bland bits of sashimi that had none of the pull of good ceviche, if that's what they were aiming for. Mt Cook Alpine Salmon has acquired a legendary reputation, from various punters to a 'pilgrimage' article in The New York Times. This dish here was the highlight of my dinner - and an example of the absolute greatness of top-tier Kiwi ingredients. You could easily slice it with a spoon and feed it to an infant - so satiny soft it was - as melt-in-the-mouth as any of the great salmon I've consumed in New Zealand. The flavour was the warm heat of the expert cooking technique, blended with gentle luxurious salmon flavour, like a subtle pricey marine perfume. It's not easy to pair sauces with salmon, but here the controlled funk and cream of a kombu butter emulsion was a smart accessory. White Bait refers to the immature fry of fish that look like tiny white slivers when cooked. Kiwis usually prefer to cook them in an omelette and call it 'whitebait fritter'. 'West Coast Whitebait Fritter' was elegantly plated, with an excellent lemon beurre blanc. However, one really had to search for the completely unremarkable, faintly fishy flavour of the embedded white strips of juvenile fish. Essentially what I ate was a $ 40 omelette which I count as my contribution to Hilton so that it can afford its five star upkeep. Donations further rose with an $ 85 Grilled Crayfish Tail. It was attractively presented with a sexy red shell parked on top. Was the crayfish delicious ? Alas, on that simple metric, the answer is No. Two large cuts of the crayfish were presented. You really had to do a lot of cutting to slice apart the bottom layer of the crayfish - a textural foreboding that concluded with the chewing of shellfish hunks that were mouth-filling and fresh, but lacked the je ne sais quoi of superior shellfish whose haunting tendresse needs no introduction to real patrons. If you're stuck here and have nowhere else to go, this is not a bad place. But a destination restaurant, it is surely not. Upnworld
Ambience was top-notch and the service did not disappoint.
Food was beautiful. Happy to recommend. We will be back !
Excellent dinner, service, and views
Great views of harbor from the restaurant. Service was excellent. Food was very good—goat cheese croquettes, fish of the day (snapper), and salads. Great wine, beer, and drink selections. Would recommend for a nice dinner experience!!
Good except refills
Dined for three breakfasts and one dinner while staying at the Hilton. Good food. My only complaint is that EVERY MEAL I had to hunt down a server to ask for water/coffee meals. Frustrating at times when I wished I could get it myself and staff chatting/laughing across the way.
Real disappointment
No oysters, fish overcooked, cheese dull. Reviews of this place don't match our experience, I wouldn't go back again...
Room service was quick and effecient.
Food was great! Caesar salad, steamed vegetables, side salad and fries. Thank you!
Disappointing
I would not recommend this restaurant. We had a group of 4 couples and we ordered the sharing menu. The meals were not explained to us, we were not asked for more drinks - the staff were not attentive at all. It was overall one of the worst dining experiences I have had. i thought I would try somewhere that I had never done before and will not be back. Go to Sails if you want amazing service and delicious food.
Disappointed arrangement
The view and foods are stunning. Service is also good. However, it's annoying that I had asked if they could help the birthday celebration for my friend when I booked but no one replied. I had sent an email and received a general feedback with menu. I made a call in the morning, the staff said they could arrange a platter with candle. After our meals finished, there was nothing coming. I checked with the staff and she had no idea for the arrangement and said I had to request it 2 to 3 days earlier. She said they were busy and could not check the email frequently 😂. The restaurant was not busy at all that day even the last time I visited. Luckily, the Manager came and finally checked the kitchen and confirmed would have the platter with candle ready in 5 minutes! I had very good experience in my last visit earlier. However, it's very disappointing this time.
Very disappointed and would not come back
I honestly have to say the quality of the food was below standards and when I contacted you about this no one replied also when my partner went to go to the bathroom one of the waitress was rude to hear and she was quite offended

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
