They stopped doing my favorite cocktails but the Ernest Hemingway Daiquiri is great. Actually all their cocktails are great. Not a cheap destination though.

Global winner of the Dilmah High Tea Challenge '15, their selection is amazing and a steal for what you pay. Please book before you go.

If you're going to do it go all out and do the 6 course meal and wine pairing . Absolutely amazing experience and very knowledgable attentive staff . Worth the money. A++

Love the cocktails . The Southern Hemisphere is my favorite. Not cheap .

Good place for cocktails , pricey & horrific hotel design can make it hard to focus, view of bay from 3rd floor rocks

Tracy Facer

The fillet steak was fabulous. Recommend the 'Salmon sashimi my way' too!

Jonathan Mosen

When they can serve steak without giving you a steak knife, you know the food is outstanding.

The Black pudding and bacon breakfast...yummy

Gayle Dickson

Whatever you eat, just do it!

Henry Lee

Food quality & presentation decent (we all had steaks ), but overpriced vs. other Welly restos offering steak . Fun this the 1st time, but probably not going back.

Delfina Olaciregui

Nothing better than the high tea !

I would say that's the best bar we've found in Wellington. Cozy atmosphere and tasty drinks. The entrance is not that obvious — in the best traditions of hidden bars. - Elena Kiseleva
