We happens on this gem of a place by accident yesterday and after some lovely rose wine and equally lovely cheeses we decided to book dinner there tonight. Our decision was also influenced by what we saw on offer for their dinner menu but also very much by the excellent professional and friendly service. Tonigh’s meal was absolutely outstanding. We opted for the a la cart choice and both entrees and mains were delicious. The chef here definitely has a passion for excellence. It was one of the best meals have had in a long time. The pork and scallop entrees were excellent and the main courses of beef and lamb were sublime and we are picky Irish people when it comes to beef and lamb as well as pork and scallops! The very pleasant proprietor told us they are only 18 months in business. You would never think it was such a young business given the roaring trade and the smooth operation that is run in this lovely establishment. We can’t recommend it highly enough. And of course we have n’t mentioned the wine. One word... sublime! Don’t miss this gem.read more

Dinner for 5 at this wine bar last night. Nice place, good service & atmosphere. Great wines, catch of the day & the chicken were the stand-outs. Sadly, two of us thought that the lamb was disappointing. We’ll be back for another try.read more

Took my lovely wife there for our anniversary last night. We decided to have the Degustation menu and, wow, that was a good decision! The courses were superb, the wine matching was skilled, eclectic and fun. I had a couple of courses that made me think that angels had died on my tongue..... Superb experience (have spent the day raving about it to my friends)read more

Wonderful experience this evening! Thank you very much! Discovered some great New Zealand wines (which we explicitly asked for since we, as Europeans, wanted to get more familiar with the New Zealand wines) and the accompanying dishes were really great! Very kind and knowledgeable staff! Impressed by the kind service and combination of wines with the dishes. We would return here when we're around and recommend the place to everyone who's in Wellington and appreciates good cuisine and great wine.read more

This places is now my favourite Wellington restaurant. It's certainly more than a wine bar. Sure, the quality of wine is excellent, and the knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff will help you pick something that well matches your food, but the food too is simply excellent! We had the five course degustation and every dish was a delight. Cant wait to go back!read more
