The Best Night Out

I’m a great believer in the fact that a restaurant interior is just as important as the food you’re presented with and I think far too many New Zealand restaurants completely miss the opportunity of giving guests a full, rich, memorable dining experience – one that touches ALL the senses. One place that understands this is The Dining Room, an exquisite gourmet restaurant at Auckland’s small luxury hotel, Mollies, in Ponsonby. I’m pleased to say they have mastered the art of the total dining experience – a fact recently recognised by their winning a special award for “Best Night Out” at the Metro/Audi Restaurant of the Year Awards, 2008. It is more than fitting that this award joins a string of other top class international acknowledgements, among them, three top awards from Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report Hotel Awards, including “Best New Small Hotel in the World.” www.mollies.co.nz
