Thoroughly enjoyed the meal as well as the decor and vibe of the restaurant. It was a lovely atmosphere with a lot of the restaurant filled. Starters and small plates were definitely the highlight although everything was delicious

Rookie is the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. Casual yet elegant styling shines through the physical restaurant stylings as well as the delicious food. We enjoyed the set menu 2 which was a great amount of food (enough to leave room for a mouth watering dessert to share! Seriously my mouth started watering just thinking about it!)
Great wine list, awesome service - 11/10!!

Amazing experience. Not only was the food superb, but the service was also outstanding. For those who love fine dining, this restaurant is a must. All that and the First Table dining experience, what more can I say.

Our experience at Rookie was amazing, we had the Feed Me tasting plate and it didnt disappoint. We loved it that much that we had to try the dessert too! Overall a great experience.

Rookie was once again an amazing experience! Their posts in Facebook had been taunting us all week so that we were salivating at the mere thought of ‘rookie’ - it did not disappoint! 10 out of 10 for everything and those dumplings were to die for!

The food and service were both impeccable. We ordered the ‘feed me’ menu which converted people who didn’t eat seafood into fish lovers! The service was professional yet relaxed and friendly. Would definitely go back again!

The waitress was great... she suggested we try the "feed me" menu and they didn't mind making a separate menu for the vegetarian in our group which was lovely. Food was amazing. Wonderful night out
