Established in 2002, the Lone Star Wellington is nestled in the Courtney Quarter in a real character office block formerly known as the "Globe Building". This circa 1920 structure has been lovingly restored with a blend of both historical and modern design. Inside you’ll find a sprawling contemporary and luxurious area in which to dine, imbibe and relax in - a reputable addition to the gastronomic centre of New Zealand. Downstairs the Café seats around 130, including relaxing booth areas and an eye-catching flaming star fireplace (a much sought after dining location, especially during the winter months). Upstairs we have an elegant, opulent Lounge Bar with DJs most nights and a function room which caters for up to 60 people, available 7 days per week. The LoneStar also offers a set menu to cater for all your function needs - simply give us a call, tell us what you need and we’ll do the rest.

I have been there several times and it has been really good. The food is always nice.
The meals are “American size” which is huge. We made the mistake of ordering an ontray and could barely fit our main in once. When you order bread, a loaf of bread comes out.
The atmosphere is ok but can be a bit difficult to hear someone. There is memorabilia all over the walls, so they are always a topic of conversation
They don’t do bookings, so if you arrive at a good time they can seat you straight away. Otherwise it is ok waiting near the bar,
The staff are ok but make sure they get your order right when the repeat it to you.
The place is clean and some seating you can see the chefs in the kitchen.
You leave feeling full. Right pricing for the meal and quality you receive.

Very slow service although pleasant enough staff. The menu had sufficient selection for a family but was way over priced for the quality that we received. I had steak which was cooked appropriately but the quality of the meat was very poor. They used a cheap cut and smothered it with sauce. The steak was full of inedible bits and very hard to chew.
It took us 35 minutes to get our order taken and another 45 minutes for the food to arrive. Our daughters couldn’t be bothered to even wait for their free desert.
Wont be going back. There are dozens of better restaurants in Wellington and as such this only rates 1 star. -

went there on a fri nite, place was buzzing with conversation and looked very unquie with all the memorabilia on the walls. After been shown to our table and introduced to our waitress who was to look after us, we were asked for drinks promptly and handed our menu’s. I chose the pork belly which really was’nt all that impressed with, when your paying $30+ for meals I would expect to have a dish that oozes quality and great taste. Instead I ended up with a stack of wilted spinach, potato and pork belly….drowned in a very sickly sweet apple and balsamic chutney.
I really thought that this dish was going to blow me away, instead I was left feeling like quantity over quality was this places first and for most appeal. -

Service is always very good and we’ve never had a bad meal. The Lonestar loaf is fantastic. It is way too noisey though.
A great Lonestar restaurant compared with others we’ve been to.
