A most positive dining experience…read more Four of us enjoyed the environment, and were never rushed to finish up, even though we closed up the restaurant at 10:30pm. One diner enjoyed the beet root and feta risotto, and the other three each order the grilled swordfish (see photos). Side dishes of salad and green bean were needed to supplement the main plate. Desserts, one poached pear, and one coconut/chili panna cotta were okay. A definite return!

I am so surprised that I am the first to post a review of this great place. I visited with friends…read moreover the weekend and was so delighted. We booked (it's advisable to do so) for dinner on the day before and arrived at 6pm, to see other diners already here. Don't be confused by the layout - the good restaurant is through the doors from the bar - you will get a different menu if you eat in there. We enjoyed the Citrus Ceviche, Whitebait Fritter and Tomato/Mozarella Salad. These were all very nice, generous entrees. Our mains were the Angus Beef fillet and a Cassoulet, with sides of Rocket/Fennel Salad, Green Beans and New Potatoes. Yum, yum and Yum .... everything was marvellous. We accompanied our dinner with lovely wines, a local Pinot Noir and a very nice Syrah from Hawke's Bay. My companions shared a Creme Brûlée for dessert - again very generous and lovely. What a delightful evening, the restaurant was busy but not overly noisy and the service was continuously good. We will definitely be back.

I came here to Comes and Goes back in November (yes, I know it's June as I write this but seeing as…read morethere's not many reviews on yelp I feel like I have to do this place a service by being a more recent review) after hopping off our cruise ship to explore Wellington with my wife and some friends, and this cafe sits in a beautiful area of town that's very homey and feels like you're venturing through a hallmark movie. It was small and quiet inside as it was still morning, so the wait staff was all the more attentive and quick to answer any questions we had about the menu. My wife is gluten free, and they were able to accommodate her mushroom toast order with gluten free bread (taste was out of this world, it came with a fried cheese tuile on top that just added so much more savoriness), and my Turkish eggs with halloumi was a light but perfectly satiating plate that had a lot of bold flavors coming from the shakshuka style sauce. Our friends got a seasonal special croissant sandwich as well as their bibimbap plate, and considering they spent the entire time eating and not saying anything I would consider that a resounding "yes this is amazing". They also had an amazing raspberry matcha that was so unbelievably creamy and delicious, I highly recommend trying it with oat milk if that fits your fancy. We were visiting from the US, and the prices I would say are comparable to a First Watch. Reasonable for a nice brunch when you're trying something out in a new city. I'm already planning my next trip out to AUS and NZ, and I know for sure I'm going to make this place a must-stop.
