Very nice place
Fabulous food , very attentive service , unbeatable view
The best main course i have had in Wellington so far, worth every compliment.. taste will surely stay with me for a long time. Amazing food and service both
Enjoyed the food and atmosphere
Suoerb mela complimented by great service. We enjoyed the Wellington on a Plate Dine Menu. Foraging for our hervs was a fun interactive touch.
Absolutely delicious and was great picking our own herbs for the main.
The waitress who served us was excellent all the way. Food was absolutely delicious! I chose forage because of its interiors. Love the wallpaper. Complimentary parking also was one of the great bonuses. Overall it’s a place definitely worth going back to for another celebration. Grand Mercure Hotel is also our favourite here in Auckland because of their wonderful buffet breakfast spread.
Brilliant
Faultless....delicious food, great service, stunning decor & views.
What an amazing experience- next to the food, the staff were awesome! Thank you :)
Our food was ok but not very well seasoned and a little bland. Our service staff were really friendly but forgot to bring back the wine list when asked for. Took a while to get to take our orders. The views were great and a really well decorated restaurant. Overall not bad but needs to pick up the game with so many amazing wellington restaurants.
I surprised my husband for his birthday with dinner at Forage. The service we received was exceptional, including complementary bubbles and a visit from the chef to ensure everything was to our liking. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. A wonderful experience.
Thank you for a very enjoyable dining experience. Great food, friendly, helpful service we will definitely return and recommend Forage to our friends. Cheers
Very nice looking forward to the new menu 😀
Excellent menu very nice looking forward to trying the new one
Appreciated being able to get a booking so late for Christmas dinner . The food and service was excellent and the Christmas crackers were a subtle and effective decoration for the tables. Beautifully decorated tree in the foyer too
Enjoyed the meal although disappointed that there were no green sides on the menu. No broccoli, beans or anything green apart from a Caesar salad.
Service: Plates weren’t taken away very quickly, we were given a desserts menu and after some waiting to order was asked ‘anything else?’ Food: wasn’t impressed with the mushroom entree seems like some cost cutting was happening as it was 1 mushroom sliced and each individual slither fried. More batter than mushroom. I love mushroom and would have liked more as it was the reason I ordered the dish. Felt like everyone was seated in the same small area rather than spread out through the restaurant when there were tons of tables free. Excellent Mojitos would go back for a few drinks but not dinner.
The food was lovely and so was the restaurant but they seriously need to train the waitoring staff they really had little experience and were very disorganised especially considering the restaurant was quiet
Great meal
Food needs to be hot not lukewarm spoiled good food
Dinning environment is good. But service wasnt that good on the day. A blonde lady who served us was a bit pushy. When she was taking our main plates, she asked do we want a dessert. We told her what we wanna get and told her please place the order after 15 mins. But the dessert served on the table less than 10 mins.
We had scallops for starters, which only had and 4 scallops on the plate and it was absolutely flavourless and underwhelming. For $19 I would have expected more than 4 scallops (average to small in size) and for it to include something other than a thin slice of radish and some flavourless puréed white paste on the plate. We then had the pork belly (which is the ‘signature dish’). The crackling wasn’t crisp, it was chewy and soft and the quite fatty, and again the whole plate lacked any interesting flavours. Probably the most interesting thing on the plate was the Kumera Rosti! We had the chocolate tasting plate for dessert and the 4 chocolates on the plate were like something you would pull out of any box of chocolates, the crumbs strewen all over the plate tasted stale and the mango and (what maybe was) strawberry purée tasted like the ‘EZY-Yo’ yoghurt flavours you purchase from the supermarket in a bottle. The food was terrible! Especially for the price! I would never recommend anyone dine here.
Great view, brilliant food and fabulous service.
Very attentive staff, although a number of different people came by during the meal. The food came out quickly and was presented well, met expectations. More vegetarian options would have been nice. Value for money as we used the Entertainment Book, if paying full price the menu doesn't compete with alternative restaurants with similar pricing but expected for a hotel restaurant.
