My friend and I went for lunch on a weekday. We were casually dressed as we are both on holiday. Although not busy the front of house staff were unfriendly and distracted.

The food quality was fine but portions extremely small. I know food costs are high but it felt a bit like rations. Coffee was very average. Olive cafe across the way is streets ahead for coffee.

We went to Floriditas over the new year, mostly on the back of reviews posted here. We were extremely disappointed. The building itself is superb, wonderful surroundings for an eating establishment and right in the middle of one of the coolest parts of Wellington. Unfortunately the dining failed to match the decor. It was clearly busy at lunchtime, but we didn’t feel all that welcomed by a slightly miserable looking member of staff. We ordered chorizo, tomato and thyme soup. This seemed to consist mostly of some veg, a tin of chopped tomatoes and some thyme. The chorizo was conspicuous by its absence. The coffee was OK but a glass of lemonade failed to appear, despite a polite enquiry as to its whereabouts.
Overall left being totally underwhelmed by the experience. We are massive fans of Fidels up the road. The surroundings are no match for Floriditas, but this is more than made up for by the excellent food and warm and helpful staff that one invariably finds there.

For years I adored Floriditas. I recommended it to a lot of people etc…

But unfortunately, the last 2 times I visited it was super average.

The first I had the fish of the day. Pretty bland and ordinary. But I thought I possibly ordered wrong.

But I have loved Floriditas for so long I was like “hey, just one bad night ain’t that bad!”.

So my partner and I went again during the world cup. I ordered the chicken with fennel salad, and it was super average. Like seriously, I could have made it. The ends of the breast had totally dried out. My partners meal was also average. He had the pork chop and it was very ‘mehhh’…

I totally love floriditas, the atmosphere, services etc. I love the small seasonal menu concept they have….But I really like good food too!!! And the few times I go out I want a stunning meal! It’s a shame because patrons are pretty fickle and a couple of bad meals and I am sad to give them a 2 star rating…

I am a fan. Fell in love with this place when I had a girls weekend in Wellington recently. What’s not to love about the decor (old style italianate, tiles, high ceilings), and the beautiful big picture windows which let the sun flood in. We went for brunch & enjoyed the hustle & bustle of the place. Service was prompt, food was great, coffee was good, and the naughty but delicious cupcakes with the second round of coffee really were THE BEST! Recommended for brunch. Must try dinner here next time I’m in Welly.

Great service received by multiple wait staff.

Tried the Wellington on a plate set menu and was disappointed with the wine on offer

The wine was a selection of Nga Waka varieties and none of the 3 tasted were very good.

Food was prompt and tasty with the exception of Baked Vanilla ricotta dessert, which was left unfinished.

Overall – recommended, but steer clear of Nga Waka wines!
