The Cookery offers a dining experience with varying opinions. On Mother's Day, it operated as a buffet, which was a surprise to some guests who preferred ordering from the menu. The service is praised for its attentiveness and friendliness, with a notable mention of an exceptional server named Kash. Food reviews are mixed, as the pizzas received positive feedback, while the salads and blue cheese dressing were criticized for taste and freshness. The ambiance is described as quiet and pleasant. Overall, the restaurant has potential for improvement, particularly with the consistency of its dishes.
