The service was prompt and professional with waiters ready to help you craft your menu for the evening. But what really makes this place great was the food. Oh my word the food. I was actually pretty hesitant walking in, after all they are known for their steaks and I'm a vegetarian. But delightfully there was a healthy range of vegetarian tapas available. We had the gnocchi (do yourself a favour and get the gnocchi) the grilled beetroot (so fresh and flavourful) the Provolone (ooey gooey smokey decadence) the warmed olives (of course), and the empanadas (vege for me, meat for he). It was arguably too much food, but we fought our way to the end as every morsel was too good not to. The only dish we weren't 100% thrilled with was the vege empanada, which was a little dense and gluggy for me. However my partner loved the meat version! Their wine list is also pretty bomber, with some delightful Spanish, Argentinan, and Chilean drops available. Add a glass of wine and a chocolate fondant for dessert and our bill clocked in at just over $100. A fantastic price considering the quality and amount of food we ordered. We'll definitely be back.

The flank was not bad and done to medium rare but it wasn't a good cut of meat. The sirloin was overcooked even though we told the server that was our concern but it had no beef flavour and was pretty tough to chew. The scotch was better but was still overcooked. The filet was the best. Not somewhere I would go again.

This place gets 5 for everything, all the aspects add up. I would place it in the bistro kind of category, as in, the kind of place you could wear a suit or smart jeans and a shirt and feel comfortable. I am not going to talk extensively about the food as Glen Taylor changes the menu all the time. I will say, try and try and then try. His understanding of flavours is amazing and beyond my thinking. I will tell you that I had one of my best desserts ever and it involved candied olives, you may begin to understand what I mean. Stop reading, get booking and then get eating. My blog has a full write up on a Wellington Foodies event. Not sure if I can put a link in here but the is one in my profile. How are there not tons of reviews for Taylors? Come on people.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this establishment is a smaller one, and not a fine dining restaurant. Since it's a bit smaller, you can see the food being cooked for you behind the counter. I love the fact they you can choose to have a heavier version of F&C with a grilled fish or seared and baked with veggies. I wish I could give it a 4.5/4.75 starts only because there doesn't seem to be a restroom for customers(would rather my hands not smell like fish) and you have to pay $1-2 for condiments. I fearsomely feel like ketchup or tartar(at least ONE) condiment should be complimentary, but I'm not going to dock a star because I'm a little cheap. Overall, the fish is fresh and delicious, the fries are crunchy and golden. My heart's content.
