Cafe in Lower Hutt

“2 words....Crazy Good! Thanks to our host Anthony, The Chefs and crew for an outstanding Italian experience. Honestly the best Pasta I've tried. This restaurant is another great addition to the Petone food scene on Jackson. Unbelievable food, exceptional service and nice relaxed atmosphere. Thanks, we will be back for more!”

“Great food—the chicken burger is fantastic and the portions are large. Convenient parking and lovely service from our server, Sharron. Will definitely return!”

“Outstanding service and food. My partner and I came here because we were looking for a steak house within the Lower Hutt area to try. We were blown away with our rib eye steaks and desserts. I loved the mushroom sauce which came with the rib eye steak. For dessert I had the lemon tart which was delicious!! My partner had the Whitakers chocolate dessert; he loved it! It was too rich for me, but if you’re a sweet tooth you’d love it!”

“Hardware bar is the jewel in the crown for Stokes Valley dining. Its very warm, inviting, with staff that go above and beyond on service. Plus you can bring your fur baby here too!. The food is delicious with generous portion size. The Ribs are the best in Wellington. Will return again, and bring many more vistors”

“Had such a great brunch here! The seafood chowder was beautifully creamy and packed with flavour, and the sourdough that came with it was perfect. All the drinks we tried (matcha, ube, and biscoff latte) were creative, fun, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend had the chicken burger and wow it was so juicy and crispy, and the shoestring fries on the side were super tasty. Generous portions, really good value for money, and everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic fish, with good size fillets for the fish n chips. The Chinese menu is extensive and are also fantastically cooked. Staff certainly know their stuff. Wait time is reasonable at around 10 minutes for most orders on a busy night in Waterloo. Fresh fish can also be bought here and also when in season Bluff Oysters. The entire place is spotless from top to bottom.”

“Big shout out to E, excellent service, he really raises the atmosphere! He needs a raise!”

“Even at the tail end of the day young and enthusiastic staff were very helpful. Quality of product - first class as always.”

“Great little cafe, very friendly staff. Awesome atmosphere great flat whites and never very busy. Very well priced food and coffee, highly recommend!!!!”

“The establishment recently underwent a change in ownership, and we had the opportunity to dine there a few weeks following the transition. We found the cuisine to be exceptional, and the service was both prompt and outstanding. The quality of service significantly enhanced my dining experience, making it highly likely that I will return.”

“There are a lot of options available with great prize. Love their deserts”

“My partner and I like coming to Hudsons. Beautifully presented coffees always! These guys are Christmas ready too. Great ambience. Excellent staff, food and coffee...”

“Watched football and some good softball. Only the weather let things down. Pies from the Ricoh cafe were yummy!!!”

“Great food and exceptional service I ordered Thai red curry(seafood) it was delicious I would recommend please try guys”

“Olé is amazing! If you are looking for something more interesting than Asian or Italian- this is your place. The tapas portions are generous and delicious. We had the pomegranate and home made lemonade drinks and they are divine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience, the food is prompt and tasty and the service is excellent. We left full and impressed. We’ve been to Spain and the food at olé is authentic and awesome.”

“We’ve been here a couple times since the new ownership and have been really impressed. Food was excellent, really friendly service and prices are great also. Really impressed — keep up the good mahi.”

“Friendly service, Gr8 atmosphere & interiors & immaculately crafted food. Best Beer battered Fish & chips I've had in Aotearoa so far.”

“You are the best here. I drank the hot chocolate here, I have never drank it anywhere else. It is perfect. And every time I come at certain hours, all the employees are very welcoming.”

“Swathi the lady that works there is amazing. Great coffees and atmosphere. You notice the difference when she is off as it's not so good.”

“If you’re after great coffee and a huge variety of cabinet choices, this is the place to be! From sandwiches, to salads, savoury, sweet desserts etc. There is also a menu you can order from and the place is often bustling so best to book if you have a few going.”

“First class family bakery with an excellent hot breakfast menu. Prices are very cheap for quality food and fast friendly service”

“Service was fantastic from an attentive server. Oysters and mussels were tasty and presented well. Flounder was cooked perfectly and the meat from the ribs fell off the bone. Delicious and good portions! Very happy.”

“If you become a member there you can get a discount on food and drink. Atmosphere was pretty chill when i went down but they do usually always have something going on weather it be a band or karaoke etc. Food was on point I had the ribeye steak with all the sides, staff were lovely. Wheelchair accessible kid friendly, they have a small timezone area out in the atrium. Be AWARE you need to be a member or with a member to drink alcohol there but anybody from the public can eat food there. Always a great go to when I need a steak meal”

“Fantastic clean, friendly café with good selection of food and drink. Happy to accommodate my small dog at an outside table. Can't wait to take friends and family.”

“This place had changed as it's not opened right through now its cut into sections. 1 for entertainment area, 2 Gaming area with a bar. Like the pool tables and the staff were great. The meals were sensational. We Thanked the Staff and the Chef for great service.”

“Our first time here, absolutely blown away with how delicious these crepes are!!! I chose the cheese, mushrooms, potatoe and chive (usually with bacon) and asked for blue cheese instead - amazing!”

“Delicious French pastry treats, pies, salads, and cafe items. An amazing range of French inspired sweets and a cabinet of savoury rolls and panini that the staff will toast for you. A small selection of salads. Good coffee.”

“Happy atmosphere, good food.. Pizza is good..pleasant staff and customers. I recommend Naenae Hotel to anyone who is new to Naenae.”
