★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Service and atmosphere was great. Overall we really enjoyed our meal. The smaller trolley plates ranged in popularity at our table but the main was an absolute hit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had an absolutely delightful dinner here. The bites were amazing, but the Curried Mutton sausage rolls topped it all. Had the Beef Brisket for mains and it was most delicious. A topped off with perfect sweet bite to finish. Yum!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I want to give a massive shout out to the Team at Culprit who were ultra flexible with my booking and then prepared an absolute screamer of a dinner for me last night. I had their epic menu which to a bite was *sensational* in every way (I don't use that term lightly, I have very high standards). Usually, I find, in a tasting menu, you will get 2-3 dishes you'd write to tell someone about or recall for days afterward, a couple of really good ones, and a couple that might not be to your particular taste on the day (Not because they aren't quality, or well prepared, but just because everyone has different tastes). Not the case with this particular menu. Everything was inventive, well executed, delicious and interesting and honestly, I'll be very surprised if this doesn't go down as on of my top 3-4 meals of 2022. Service as mentioned was top notch, little things like the fact I mentioned I don't love Oysters or Olives and finding that they had substituted for something else, and the Olive Yoghurt was considerately put in a side dish. We are really blessed with some excellent restaurants in Auckland, and this now rates in the top echelon. I can't say enough goods about it, I was blown away. If you are a foodie, drop whatever you are doing, and go make a booking. I don't often tip in NZ, but I did last night. My small bit of feedback was that the portion sizes are pretty small, though I was very hungry.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If it weren’t for the staff’s impeccable customer service; being so attentive to my dietary needs and constantly checking how we are with everything- dinner at The Culprit would have been a complete let down. We were looking forward to checking them out as the images on their website and on Instagram looked extremely delectable and the presentation of their dishes looked visually pleasing and the idea of American Style infused with traditional Yum Cha was intriguing. However, The trolley service dishes all lacked flavour for me except maybe the sashimi dish. We upgraded to the duck for a few extra dollars as our main which was the only dish that was to my liking. Overall, the food was average.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Have been to culprit three times now and would describe the experiences as great, average and good - in that order. The atmosphere is a trendy vibe (one of my favourite in Auckland), service is quick and friendly (third time they replaced a dish on the set menu I had already tried no questions asked), the signature duck - 10/10.
The chef can create some ‘questionable’ alternative dishes however, burnt Brussel Sprouts on a set menu? We’re not in London. And the prices have certainly increased, while dare I say servings seem smaller. But perhaps that’s a review I should pass on to the government.
Anyway…a must visit place, if the set menu they have at the time doesn’t appeal too much the duck is safe.
