I enjoyed lunch at this eatery near my office. It's within the Press Hall - a broad, open and quite…read morenoisy food hall on Willis Street. The staff were very helpful to guide me through the best options for my taste and dietary requirements. I chose the Earth Bowl, but not the slow egg. I had a plain poached egg. It was served very nicely with generous rocket, some roasted cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini and carrot. It would have had hummus but I swapped that out for basil oil. It was a nice lunch. I'd come again as the things other diners had liked great too.

Came in on a Friday morning around 8:40am for our 9:20am Weta Experience…read more The woman was friendly but service was slow given that there were no other customers inside. Basic eggs and toast came out first if you're in a rush. Eggs Benedict? Don't order if you're in a rush. And be sure to ask for sauce on the side! Maybe it's a thing to be heavy on sauce in Wellington, but it made my breakfast inedible and I didn't have time to send back. Super convenient location... 5 min (or less) walk to Weta. Not expensive.

Despite other complaints about poor and delayed service, we did not experience any of that…read more There were four servers running around and it seemed that the work flow and deliveries were constant. We were properly advised by our server that their new menu had smaller portion sizes, yet my wife & I ordered too much food. (The portion sizes are still generous). Quality was good on average, though there are a couple of dishes that we didn't care for, from a personal taste thing. There's not any other restaurant that is open during the early part of the week, so this is the best choice. Best to come here before going upstairs to see a movie, but one can dine here without the movie experience. Good setting and lobby both in front & upstairs is a treat to see.

My experience at Coco's at the Roxy was similar to my experience with online dating about a decade…read moreago; and for anyone who has ever tried online dating, you know you never actually end up with someone based on whatever was written online. I read through some of the other reviews, and Coco seemed to be all style and good looks without the girl-next-door niceties and sassy-smart personality you'd find in someone you'd want to take home to Mother. Everyone seemed to come to consensus that Coco was a hot date, if somewhat inattentive and snotty at times. Was Coco really like that? Not on our first date. She was dressed elegantly, done up like a 1920s art deco doll. She was smart, attentive and knowledgable and made a lasting impression with her food. We ordered a ceviche to start, accompanied by well-made cocktails. The martini I ordered was dry and up, the Moscow Mule was fragrant and a good companion to the ceviche. Then came a duck for two. A half-duck with mandarin and middle eastern spices, a new take on duck a l'orange. Coco described her duck with winter vegetables, but my guess was that she forgot to change winter for spring as I saw asparagus, spinach and french beans; all of which are spring vegetables. The duck fat fries had to be the hot make-out session of the night, with potato wedges that had crisp and flavorsome exterior and fluffy soft interiors. All in all, I'd take Coco out for a few more nights, but she's quite a stylish lady and I'm sure she'll be happy with more suitors and attention from other leading men if given the choice.

I stay and eat. The food was ok but not the 4+ star food I was expecting. I ordered Potato & Bacon Hash from the menu. It could have been a great dish. The weakness was with the potatoes - they were under seasoned, they were days old from the fridge and barely heated through. Also, a couple came in and sat at a table. They weren't greeted or acknowledged. They sat for a while (no menus, no water) and then left after 5 minutes . Was I the only one who noticed?!? Wait staff eventually cleared my table, asked if I'd like coffee, which I politely declined. Then left me to work out that I needed to go to the counter and pay. Bummer!

The atmosphere alone; with bathrooms funky surprises, tables with awesome posters, and random memorabilia around the space creates so much fun! I explored all over, and got to meet the local cat who hangs out. With the view across the street, they probably didn't need to do anything and the place would be amazing, but they really add to the beach/water feel. The staff is super friendly, welcoming our tour group with open arms (granted they knew our tour guide really well), but we got a breathtaking window view, and the kindest treatment. We got milkshakes (chocolate banana and coffee) they tasted so fresh, like they handpicked bananas and shaved in gourmet chocolate; like they poured in iced coffee. So yummy I slurped every drop. For a meal I got the scorch-o-rama breakfast; so much meat! and the Wellington special brown sauce gave it a good tangy taste. The mushrooms were grilled to yum 10/10, I wanted to ask for more. My husband got the Arnold Chowder with large chunks of seafood. So fresh it was as if they left and caught them while we barely waited. (True this and the milkshakes didn't pair that well on our tummies later, but worth it!)
