Bar pub in Wellington

“We had our wedding reception here and it was AMAZING! The functions manager, Chyanne has been amazing during the early planning, to figuring out the last minute details. They been very accommodating for guests who had dietary/allergies, and the staff that night were fantastic for making sure our reception was amazing! Would recommend and will come again for outings ”

“​My recent visit to the QT Hotel and Restaurant in Wellington was an absolute delight. The hotel's fantastic location made exploring the city a breeze. ​From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful atmosphere and the genuinely friendly, professional staff—especially Ray and Anthony, who were absolutely amazing. ​The food was just as impressive. The weekend high tea was an exceptional experience, with every tea and accompanying food item delicious and the service impeccable. ​Breakfast was a definite highlight. While the buffet was decent, the à la carte menu was sleek and memorable—I'm still dreaming about the egg benedict and the delicious mushroom dish. ​Dinner was just as stunning, thanks to a fantastic salmon dish and the breathtaking night waterfront view. As a seafood lover who usually avoids raw oysters, I was amazed by the one I stole from my friend—it was incredibly fresh, and the vinaigrette was a perfect touch. ​And the experience didn't stop there. The room was spacious and tidy, and I absolutely loved the bathtub. ​I was also pleasantly surprised by the value. Despite ordering a lot to try everything, I didn't find the prices horribly expensive. If you get the chance to visit Wellington, I highly recommend a stay at the QT to enjoy the amazing food, service, scenery, and the comfortable rooms.”

“Absolutely outstanding all round! Highly recommend this place! The service was amazing, it's a beautiful restaurant and the food was to die for! We both had burgers as part of the burger night deal and they were so delcious. We also had the arichini as a starter and couldn't fault it. Thanks for a lovely night team! We will be back soon for sure!”

“My aunty and her sisters came here for dinner last night. She asked me to write a review bc she's not on Social Media. It was quiet but my aunt liked that bc they could chat. The lady who served us was lovely. She always let us know what was happening w our food. Loved her service! The kai was "smashing" so one of my aunts said. That one had the burger chicken. My aunt, Luana, thought the caramized steak was beautiful, she almost licked the plate and the salad was crispy and delicious. We were so full, we brought our puddings home. We had chocolate ice cream parfait w golden kiwi. Beautiful! We will definitely be back again, compliments to the chef and the lovely waitress!”

“Great atmosphere and pretty good food too.”

“Ordered the platter for two, plenty of food, fast service, good eating”

“Great location, the were able to accommodate all 30 of us, and the space worked really well for 13 kids in our group! Everyone enjoyed the food, my wife and I went for the schnitzel which was a decent size, and came paired with really nice coleslaw salad an sauce. I had the chance my son's fried chicken which was delicious! there was a lot going on for a Sunday, as they had salsa dancing and the music was LOUD! we didn't mind, but some in our group made a comment as they couldn't hear each other. I'd say it's a great place with very nice atmosphere, and they have great food and fantastic service, will definitely come again.”

“Celebrated our end of year event for work - Great venue off the side of the main pub. Cool seperate bar. Great food and amazing service. The staff were always willing to answer questions and help when required. Would recommend.”

“Great rooftop bar on Lambton Quay (upstairs) We went for lunch, sat out on the balcony and ordered the Korean fried chicken, skin on fries and club sandwiches. The service was fast and friendly, the food was delicious and the balcony had a great view of Lambton Quay.”

“We had a function at Flamingo Joe's and it was really excellent. Nice food (set menu), very reasonably priced and great service. They accommodated all dietary needs and were super flexible. It's a fun venue with a lot of atmosphere - we booked out the restaurant space which was perfect for our needs. Highly recommend for any functions at all, both in terms of value for money and for a good night out on the waterfront.”

“We booked for our daughter’s birthday dinner with a group of 9 and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely table with a fantastic view of the water and the staff even offered to keep our cake in the chiller until after our meal. The food was delicious and the portions were more than adequate with everyone stuffed at the end. We ordered the bao buns which had a lovely little chilli kick to them, and Korean fried chicken was an absolute favourite as was the pita with roast pepper hummus which was so delicious. We were even able to take leftovers home with us which was an added bonus! Can’t wait to come back.”

“Alicia made my visit extra special with her bubbly & friendly personality! The food was amazing & so were the margaritas (which I was blessed to be the first to try Alicia’s Magaritas!)”

“Amazing people, made organising my daughter's 21st birthday so easy. Went out of there way to make it personal and special!”
