The burgers look amazing but I've been pigging out and need to slow it down just a little bit before dinner later. So fries it is. Cooked to order, I had high expectations not knowing what "Kumara Fries" are. And now I know - they're basically what we Americans call "sweet potato fries." Not bad at all, they were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just the right amount of salt and served with a small pot of "aioli". The restaurant is clean and busy. The guy who took my order was friendly. [Review 346 of 2024 - 5 in New Zealand - 21379 overall]

You can choose to have your fish beer battered, panko crumbed, tempura battered, gluten-free battered or grilled and you can have hand cut Agria chips,crinkle cut chips, beer battered chips, kumara chips or curly fries. There are several house salads and sides on offer or you can select something from their burger/sandwich menu. We opted to have grilled tarakihi and trevally, hand cut Agria chips and a coleslaw. It was delicious, beautifully cooked and presented and quite reasonably priced too.

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.

The decor is tastefully minimal and the positioning (by the cinema) probably brings the crowds during the evening. I've tried the steak, the ribs and of course the chicken and I have to say the meals were good, but the chicken was superb. The service was good every time, and while it doesn't quite reflect the american service culture the staff were friendly and quick. I would recommend it for a simple meal after a movie or just a visit on a night out.

But I ordered the Punjabi poutine with fried chicken on top as well as the salted caramel rum milkshake. The milkshake was absolutely delicious. The poutine on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. It was supposed to have a butter chicken sauce on top of the fries but that sauce did not taste anything like butter chicken sauce. It tasted like a combination of marinara and a Thai peanut sauce. The firecracker sauce, which I got on the side, was the first actually spicy thing I had while in New Zealand. The staff member who helped me was very kind and funny but the place was surprisingly dead. Maybe everybody knew it what I just found out, which is that this place is just okay.

The service here is, sadly, very rude. Customers are given attitude if they ask questions, change up their order, or don't pick from the menu quick enough. Their pricing for vegan burgers is pure bait-and-switch. The sign says one thing, but they charge you another and then get real nasty when you question why they charged you more than the price shown on the menu. It's worth a visit to get a good burger, but unless you like verbal abuse you probably won't want to come back.

Booths and tables scattered around the room so we planted ourselves strategically to watch the world and listen to the fabulous jazzy music which, apparently was a playlist compiled by one of the team but not to be shared with mere plebes like us. It was only 6 in the evening and still bright and this is most definitely a place that needs to be experienced after dark. A pity our time in Welly didn't allow a repeat visit. Oh yes, the cocktails were amazing so just as well we had a dinner date elsewhere or I would have been poured into the street at an ungodly hour. Would love to be back. After dark. Recommended

We were here on a weekend night and waiting to get into the adjacent restaurant. Hooowww convenient that right next to the tiny cramped waiting room there happens to be this awesome lounge. Well played. We were joined by mobs of other hungry waitlisters as well as many others just there and craving a little study juice. The bar is adorably designed to look like a library with the cutest nerds demonstrating their well studied mixology and putting together some elegantly designed cocktails. The theme is brought to life with walls of books cutting into the space and creating perfect little study nooks. Tables and chairs line the sides and are tucked away here and there in the rooms. The long bar was pretty packed but also had seating. Drink menus were worth a study session for sure and prices comparable to the Wellington area. With clever beverage names like Whiskey Business, The Sipster, and Netflix & Chill you're bound to find something as tantalizing as the geek with glasses mixing your drink. Whether your jam is alcohol pyrotechnics, drinking your beverage from a chemistry flask, or enjoying a saucy little shake and toss, these bartenders both brew up fantastic concoctions while putting on a show. As much of the rest of NZ is, I found their knowledge, attention to, and tolerance of gluten allergy to be far beyond anywhere in The States. I prompted the very busy geek with taped glasses about a few of the unfamiliar syrups and like any good student, what he didn't know he looked up for me before recommending a drink. If saffron and vanilla meringue, popcorn infused rum, and marshmallow and malt biscuit crumble don't sound like deliciously epicurious combinations to you, then good, stay home, and let me have the lounge to myself for a much needed libation study session.
