Why Travelers Love Liberty Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Went to this restaurant using First Table; with this discount, it was worth it. We tried many plates and it was sometimes a hit, sometimes a miss. The lamb shoulder was VERY good. The market fish crudo was not good however. The wine Wet Jacket Putangi was also not very good. Hence, for full price, we would have been dissapointed, but with 50% discount it was a nice experience. Found this place on First Table and decided to give it a go. Oh my DAYS. It was sooooo yum! All of the food we had was phenomenal the flavours are divine. The staff are so attentive and Olive who was our waitress for the evening was great at reccomending the wines and talking is through our dishes. Impeccable service, our coats appeared for us as we were paying before we even though to ask and we honestly left feeling like we'd had a really memorable dining experience. Ten million stars. A lovely birthday treat. Such an incredible dinner experience! Booked it for my friend’s birthday and everything from the food quality to the surprise dessert lettering and the lovely service was just perfect. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion :)

Great restaurant at the top of Cuba Street. Stunning shared plates. Our waitress, Olive, was attentive and knowledgeable about the food she was serving us. We took her recommendations and were very happy with the food delivered.

Unsure if we came on an off night, I understand we all have off days and especially from working in hospo, I get it. The oysters were teeny tiny but tasty, the prawn and pāua dumplings were yummy and the hapuka tasted underseasoned. I thought the Hapuka was a small size for it being a large dish on their menu. The energy felt slightly chaotic with the service, I don’t know if the flow for service was a bit out of order than usual but our server wasn’t very attentive, didn’t come to check on us or top us up on water. All and all, I wasn’t blown away like the majority of the reviews. I hope to be back someday to have a better experience.
