Food was good, service not so much.

The minute we entered, due to the restaurant capacity we only had the option to be seated by the overflow cramped wall seating, which we accepted because it is better than not being seated at all. We made it clear to the staff that we preferred to be seated at a table, yet we were later moved to the bar space while others who were seated similarly and also did not make any prior reservations were asked their names and then promptly shifted to a table when it became available.

Why was it that we were not asked our names and not shifted to a table? Why were we not offered a single time whether we wanted to be seated at a table? When we asked at the end of our meal, the bartender replied that it was assumed we were okay with the current seating situation. This is despite the fact that we had made it clear when we first arrived that we wanted a table seating. What makes us different to all the other customers who were in the same situation which led to that assumption?

Went here last night after going to a few disappointing places in Wellington during our stay, let's just say we weren't let down. The service was amazing, our waitress took the time to go through the menu and explained how it all worked. Food was amazing, that gnocchi was to die for! Best negroni in welly also. Definitely will be back

Loved this place. The food was really good. Had the WOAP burger, it was deceptively filling. To finish I would recommend the pannacotta! The staff were very attentive and always on hand when we needed to order anything. Great dining experience.

tasty food and good looking inside ambience.

Delicious pizza and risotto. Lovely restaurant with pleasant staff.
