Forage Kitchen - Wellington

Great restaraunt. we ate here a night in which we stayed in the hotel. the food was delicious and the intention was amazing. great view of the city. especially loved the cocktails and dessert menu

We were looking forward to trying the food at this restaurant. However, the first table we were seated at had an incredibly bright lightbulb directly overhead, so we requested to move, and the second table was much more comfortable. The ambient music was a mix of Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon, which felt somewhat out of place for a classy establishment. Our waiter brought us the menus and mentioned he would return shortly to take our drink orders. We spent some time deciding on a wine, but when he came back, he informed us that our first choice wasn't available, despite being listed. We picked another option, only to find out that one wasn't available either. It would have been helpful to know this before we spent 10 minutes deliberating! On a positive note, the food was quite good. However, the side of seasonal vegetables was simply plain steamed veggies, which was a bit disappointing. The main dishes were tasty, though. Overall, I would rate the food a 4, the service a 1, and the atmosphere a 2.

Lovely restaurant on the Terrace, on the ground floor of Movenpick Hotel. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable the view of the city lights at night was breathtaking. We ordered the bread dips and the salmon for starters. I don’t know what was in the dip, but it was so damn good. Creamy and delicious. The bread was hot and fresh. The salmon dish was unexpectedly delicious and very moorish. After these dishes, we knew we were in for a good meal. The main meals were good size and well thought out. I ordered the pork belly and my partner ordered the market fish. The pork was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. To end, we ordered the chocolate mousse and deconstructed carrot cake. I personally would prefer constructed carrot cake, but the deconstructed version was yum nonetheless. I look forward to dining here again. We ended our meal with a cookie and tea in the Hotel lobby. The cookie was out of this world fantastic. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The service and everything was fine. As some of the reviews say, portions are pretty small, so don't go on an empty stomach. I had fried noodles before I came to prepare for this. We ordered 3 starters a long with our mains. Have been to many fine dining restaurants, and I was pretty disappointed with the steak..I love my steaks, and this was probably one of the most poorly cooked ones I've had in a while..I ordered medium rare, this eye fillet was literally raw in the middle that I just didn't finish the steak. Wasn't going to return it because we had already waited a while for our food despite being the first in the restaurant..2 to 3 other tables go their food before us. Would post a photo but I don't want to embarass your chefs. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$50–60 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
