Soul Bar & Bistro Auckland Reviews from The Last Year
Fantastic!
Sensational meal for our family’s last night in New Zealand. The staff were very accommodating for the food allergies at the table, my Green Goddess salad with a meat skewer was fantastic, and the wine list was a novel. Staff were attentive and personable. I even stayed warm seated on the patio with the heaters. A very pleasant evening!
A top restaurant in Auckland
Soul is one of Aucklands best, great service, and exceptional food with a fantastic outlook of the Viaduct Harbour. Soul never disappoints and is always a must visit when we are in Auckland.
Hopefully a one off poor service
We came as a party of eight. It was a 21st birthday treat. We have been numerous times over the years and have always thought of Soul as our treat for special occasions. Sat down at 6.30 pm then eventually left the table at 9 pm. We had starters and mains and that was it after asking for orders to be taken. Eventually i just asked for the bill. Not sure what went wrong but the service wasnt upto their normal standard. Billing has changed so rather than paying at the table I had to wait at the front desk to pay. We will always come back and hope it was just a hiccup,
Excellent service, great location especially when you can get a seat outside
Very pleasant experience here for a business lunch. They have a good selection of food here, the focus being seafood, plus a good selection of beverages. Service is excellent as well. The food was delicious. All in all, for what you get, prices are reasonable. If possible, try to get a seat outside. Inside is good as well, but outside you get great harbour views.
Absolutely FABULOUS!
WOW! We hosted a lunch for 30 people in the private dining area, and can only rave about the room, the food, and the exceptional service. 10/10 from us. Soul never disappoints, and they knocked it out of the ballpark for our event!
Lost charm
A very disappointing experience on our 5th visit here. This establishment is not a patch on what it once was and has lost all of its former gloss. Menu choice much more limited than previous. Had a nicely cooked and presented John Dory but the sauce taste was not complimentary. Good wine selection and a lively atmosphere that unfortunately markedly deteriorated as the night wore on with many patrons allowed to consume far too much alcohol and becoming loud and obnoxious with choice of language. Briefly tried the bar area after the meal but the atmosphere and many patrons were unsavoury and had a cliquey 'seediness' about them. Even witnessed patrons buying 'shots' for the bar staff to readily consume. Something is not quite right about this place and it's a great pity that it has lost its way.
Extremely upsetting
It was our 40 th wedding anniversary ( yep Wow). We decided to fly to Auckland and choose to dine at soul. What a terrible disappointment it was. We commented on the booking of the occasion and that we would like a nice table for two outside. The very rude maitre’ d showed us a tiny table in front of a pillar. There were many tables at the front , but she insisted that they were for only groups of 4. I was so upset. My husband said we should just go, but she then gave us a table that she split from a 4 to a 2 beside the staff servery. Not romantic. We ordered the shared steak with some sides and it wouldn’t fit on the table without our plates being half off the table. When we left after our main , as we just didn’t enjoy being there, the 4 front tables were still empty. I asked the waiter how long this maître’d had been working there, as she is rude and condescending as she kept calling me “ my love”. He frowned and said about 2 years. He said he would pass on our complaint to management. I should have looked at the reviews on here before we booked, as all the 1 star reviews mention her. Extremely unprofessional. You ruined what should have been a fantastic experience.
Pink and Pretty
The restaurant currently is covered in pink flowers and umbrellas but it is not a girly hangout. The food here is seriously good. The pasta was delicious, the salad was sensational with the meat skewer and desert was yummy. The wine was super good too.
Superb in every respect
One of the best meals I have ever eaten in my 50+ years of travel, and at a nice outdoor table with a view over the harbour as well. The service was highly professional and friendly – prompt but not rushed. If Michelin were to come here I think it would get two or three stars. For starter, I had the whitebait fritter (actually a crepe) that was quite out of this world tasty, followed by a pork dish that was delicious. It was cooked just right and the crackling was delightfully crisp. I also splurged on dessert – an apricot ice cream cake that was also perfect. My wife also had high praise for her pate starter and a very tasty salad with a delicious lemon crème caramel for dessert. I cannot praise this place too highly.
Loved it here! Great spot for drinks and food
Such a great visit here! Was walking past and the decor caught my attention.. it was decked out in pink and Rosé themed (something they do every March). The service was top notch, and the food + drinks were very good. I tried the beef skewer, macaroni and cheese (a must!) and espresso martini. Highly recommend all!!
Has always had delicious food and one of the few places
Has always had delicious food and one of the few places with their kitchen open late.
Wow! Just Wow!! We were I Aukland for 3 days and are here
Wow! Just Wow!! We were I Aukland for 3 days and are here 2 out of the 3 days it was that good! Jess waited on us for lunch and she was phenomenal! Her service was 5 stars and her description of the food and recommendations were spot on. The chicken pate was my favorite! Done right! Every meal we had was delicious so I truly don't think you can go wrong with whatever you choose.
Other reviews didn't embellish, the food drinks and service
Other reviews didn't embellish, the food drinks and service are all stellar. After about 6pm on Fri/Sat this area turns into a generic party with lots of music and dancing, so if you are looking for a quiet romantic dinner, keep looking.
Great location, service, and food.
We didn't have a reservation and while we waited a very short wait a kind employee brought us waters. Menu was eclectic, nice flavors and spices. I had the chicken entree and wow, amazing flavors. Husband ordered lamb chops and was in heaven. They had FOUR options of mock tails which really made me happy. I tried 2 and they were delicious and a gorgeous presentation with an ice cube that was as long as my glass - so cool! Wish they offered an NA wine. Overall a wonderful and delicious experience.

This place was really good and the service was also really good! The environment is beautiful and we sat outdoors with the flowers on the ceilings! I really enjoyed the appetizers and the salads here as they were really fresh and tasted really good! Our waitress was also super sweet and made sure to always come check on us and bring anything we ask for really fast!

Really enjoyed the service and the food (had lamb rack, broccolini, and an incredibly decadent warm dark chocolate dessert). But the best of all was the Passion Star Martini mocktail.

OUTSTANDING! From start to finish, this was one of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time. The fresh oysters were incredible! The salt and pepper squid is the best squid I've ever tasted. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We also had the fresh fish and green goddess salad, which were fantastic. Finished off with an expresso martini, snickers desert, and quite possibly one of the best deserts we've ever had, the strawberry meringue, matcha white chocolate crémeux, strawberry consommé.... The atmosphere with the docks and flowers on the patio was so pleasant and comfortable. Then, of course, the Kiwi hospitality combined with exceptional service made this the most excellent experience.
Amazing ambiance with view of the harbor and upscale
Amazing ambiance with view of the harbor and upscale feeling. Service was attentive and accommodating. I only tasted dessert which was a meringue with matcha and strawberry and was well made and tasty although not particularly memorable. A solid dessert option. I'd recommend this spot.
Great service- from the host to the bartender to the
Great service- from the host to the bartender to the server- incredible service, very prompt, great recommendations, super attentive. Food was fantastic- had the oysters (fresh) yum yum yum!! Hot sauce was delicious . Rack of lamb - wow - perfectly cooked - huge portion- nom nom . Side squash, mint and fig!! Wow squash was awesome. Ambiance - by far one of the best vibes, cool and huge outdoor seating - very pretty plants hanging from ceiling, great lighting. Loved it! Highly recommend for groups or solo dining.
Food, service, view, and location can't be beat.
The menu has something for everyone; even the most picky vegan. Drink selection is on point and the designated driver will have choice to keep them happy as well. I could have eaten just the bread service and been happy. Last comment... save room for dessert as these are excellent.

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.
