Rookie Eatery

We had the feed me menu number 2 and the flavour combinations was just fabulous , delicate and precise . All of our group of 4 loved it . We even stretched out and shred some additional desserts . The atmosphere is lovely and the service was friendly and efficient . All in All a terrific lunch

Beautiful food, great service. Not a cheap night out though.

Food was great! Our waiter was great, was a little cramped and noisy. Had to wait to get waiters attention a few times and the lock on the male bathroom was broken but still a great night!

Wonderful service! Made our night extra special. We’ll be back.

Would have been better if we could have had out own wine on a Saturday night.

Amazing food! The wait staff could smile a bit more but none the less the service was good. Would definitely go back. Best restaurant in Wollongong!

Food was insanely good. Best food i've had in Wollongong. And certainly the best i've had anywhere for a while. Couldn't stop thinking about it after!

Fantastic food - really different and delicious and the service was great 😊

Amazing food. Great service. Will definitely recommend to friends

The most wonderful experience. The flavour combinations were amazing. Quantise just right and the service impeccable.
We will return many many times.

Excellent food, great service. Could do with fewer tables as we were crammed in a bit. Also, the wine list needs serious attention. For a restaurant of this standard and with these prices they need a far better selection of quality wines. The list just wasn't up to standard

Food & service were outstanding, thank you Rookie for a wonderful day

We had a beautiful range of dishes, although the vegetarian 'feed me' menu could do with a little more variety as two of the dishes highlighted sweet potato as a main ingredient. All the dishes were well cooked and beautifully presented. Unfortunately the service was a bit patchy: the main host was lovely, welcoming and warm as well being very knowledgable about the dishes; the other waitress on the evening was less welcoming and at times was a little too intrusive - hurrying to empty the bottle of wine that we had ordered and leaning across us to clear the plates. The minimalist decor is stylish but on a winter's night rather cold especially as the heating was turned off early. This is the second time that I have been to Rookie and have loved the food each time but this time it wasn't quite such a stand out meal.

food lived up to its reputation - absolutely stunning!
the only criticism was having a table that was so far into the hallway the front door almost clopped one of our party each time it opened - we asked to move to another table, but after being told not possible we moved the table a foot further into the dining room (waiter wasnt too happy about that, and i was still constantly closing the front door for patrons who couldnt be bothered). we'll go back again but only on the condition we are not seated there - restaurant should remove that table all together

Consistently wonderful food every time, Rookie never disappoints,

The food was amazing- definitely a great place to celebrate our 1 year anniversary xo

The service was excellent even though it seemed busy. The food is amazing and the price seems like I am getting the bargain.

Delicious food! There was so much of it and we got the $69 feed me menu. Staff are lovely - it really makes the dining experience just wonderful when you have cheerful, attentive staff. Looking forward to returning soon.

well presented dishes, duck breast perfectly cooked a stand out

Great atmosphere and service. The food was amazing and a great place to take my daughter who was visiting from interstate. Couldn’t fault a thing!

We have now been to Rookies 3 times and we have never been disappointed. We had the Large Feed Me offering this last time and all of the dishes were 'to die for!' We did take the early siting - from 6pm - and if I had one criticism it would be that the 1st few courses came out a little too quick. however we will be back again very shortly and I`m already looking forward to it - Excellent meal!

Amazing service . Amazing food ! Will definitely return.

The quality of the food was excellent however I thought the need for sides to give a satisfying full feeling and there only being 2 sides available, poor, however the service was excellent and both the manager and wait staff were very attentive

It was my first time eating at Rookie and my god!! The food and service was something else. Our waitress was very helpful in educating me about some of the ingredients on their menu and always made sure that our food was good. 100% 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a flavourful Australian culinary journey. :)

All the 3 stars I gave are actually 3 and a half stars, as I think an extra half is necessary. Some really nice flavours in the food. Few things I could nit pick but an overall nice time at Rookie.

Great food and service. Wollongong s best eatery. One of our favourites and go to for a great meal

It was delicious, great experience trying some different foods. Interesting Different combinations. Everything was so tasty. To be picky as it was expensive, the duck was a little dry and I felt the chicken wings brought down the calibre of the meal. All the other meals were interesting and delicious!

Love love love this restaurant great food with great service

Not sure what to expect however chose the Feedme 2 share menu and certainly was not disappointed. Great service matched by spectacular dishes every one better than the one before. The feedme menu proved excellent value.

Great food great service we tried the Feed Me 2 option which was a good way to try lots of different dishes

really enjoyed the food -just the correct amount -service was excellent will definitely be back

Food was sensational, just felt a little hurried, no down time between courses, and at one stage we got served our next course while we were still eating the previous one, we just felt under pressure to just scoff it and not enjoy it. And no coffee machine

Our experience at Rookie was absolutely perfect. Food was amazing, service amazing, pretty much everything was amazing. Would highly recommend rookie to anyone and everyone. We will be back again real soon.

We loved every meal we had on our FeedMe choice. First time there with my best friends from Sydney and celebrating my birthday. Loved it

This is our special occasion restaurant. The food & service are always fabulous!!

Had one of the chef choice menus, each course was delicious

I took my mother for the set mothers day menu. She loved the meal all 8 courses and has not stopped talking about it! the staff seamlessly handled my wheat and dairy allergies. Chef showed a deft hand and used first class ingredients that made it great value for a special day.

A light and pleasant space, delicious food and good service.

Very enjoyable evening. Thankyou to all chefs and wait staff. Food was excellent and portion size was just right for our needs.

Food is delicious! Unusual, but great use of flavours and fresh ingredients. It was a busy Saturday night, but we felt well looked after but the staff. Would go again anytime!
