I’ve dined at the Tasting Room 4-5 times for dinner and it’s been unfailingly good.

If you’re a beef eater you can’t go wrong with the Beef Wellington – after trying it on his first visit my husband has never ventured any further. I’ve worked my way through the menu and have always had good meals – though the gnocchi is overpriced at $27 for what is effectively some pasta with some tomato sauce and ricotta.

The hands down winner on the dessert front is the chocolate fondant which is cooked to order and absolutely divine. Someone from The Cornerstore in Brooklyn should visit for a lesson in what a fondant is supposed to be! However the creme brulee and apple tart tatin are also scrumptious.

As someone else has mentioned – if you want to hear the person you’re with ask for the a table on the left hand side. On my last visit we got seated on right (same side as the bar) and it was so insanely loud we literally had to yell and each other to be heard.

The service every time I’ve been there has always been efficient and friendly.

Not bad, slightly expensive for the food available. But atmosphere is good

Took the partner here for his birthday, nice atmosphere. He got the pork belly and I got the calamari to start with – they were nicely cooked, but we both felt they could have been seasoned more. I had the beef wellington for my main, the pastry and gravy were delicious, however the beef was a little overcooked for my taste and abit dry. Desserts were fantastic. Great service, and a good all round experience.

It is one of my favourite places to dine in Wellington. On this occasion, in August, we started with a tasting plate of braised pork belly, then had the filet mignon and the venison with potato, rocket, mushroom and blue cheese, and finished with the chocolate fondant. On this occasion the pork belly was let down as it was dry- something which is quite hard to achieve with pork belly due to lots of fat! Also we thought that the size to price ratio is not quite right- not the best value. The mains and dessert were yum! The Tasting Room is popular and the atmosphere finished off on this night with being served by a fantastic waitress.

I visited recently with an Entertainment Book voucher – the meal was therefore quite cheap and i’m pleased to say delicious! I will return and happily pay full price.

I had the Beef Wellington and my partner had Venison – both were good sized portions and tasted amazing.

The waiting staff were very pleasant and the whole experience was an enjoyable one.
