Blown away by the quality of Martin Bosley's.. It was recommended by our Auckland hosts, but as it was a Saturday night and we didn't have a reservation we decided to pop in for a quick drink at the bar to check it out. The next thing we know Martin has given us complimentary champagne (it was our honeymoon), they've... More

Possibly Wellington's best restaurant - a great fine-dining experience, with panoramic views over the harbour. Menu is mainly seafood but also a good selection of other New Zealand dishes.

Loved the fine food from start to finish...what a pity that the toilets and the decor let this restaurant down. The view is lovely over the yacht marina. The dishes were beautifully served and was as delicious as it looked, but there was a hole in our table cloth and the toilets were definitely not up to scratch for such... More

My fiancée and I had a dinner here when she visited me in Wellington. We ordered oysters for starter and mains as well as dessert. I would say everything we had was absolutely fantastic. The place is a bit pricy but it's totally worth paying. I would come back here for any special occasions.

We recently had a pre theatre meal at this highly rated restaurant. First impressions were good. The view over Wellington harbour would have to be one of the best in Wellington. After reading some other reviews, I guess we struck the chief on an off day. Seating is good, with a nice space between tables. service was good. However, I... More

We had dinner here recently and enjoyed the $30.00 Fish and chip special. We also shared some prawns and oysters for entree. The food was very nice and wonderfully fresh! We were served by a young english lady and she was brillant!

We had heard so much about this amazing restaurant so our expectation were high. The setting is beautiful and we watched the small sailing boats on the harbour as the sun set and the twinkling lights of Wellington came on. It truly exceeded my expectations as we firstly tried the entree mini degestation, followed by the fish of the day,... More

Lovely surroundings, interesting drive to get there, and not too busy. Unfortunately, the food was not up to what we expected. Small servings and lacking flavour was the order of the day. Other diners beside us complained at the desk but did not get any satisfaction.

Four of decided to lunch at Martin bosley's on a glorious Wellington day. We ate outside and enjoyed the view and the sun. The meals however were grossly overpriced and very uninspiring. Adding insult to injury we found the male waiter was initially uncommunicative , answering questions with mmmmmm. Upon finding his tongue he then attempted to participate in our... More
