The Woolfirst Wool Merchants celebrated a successful year in business there. We were a group of 35 people. We sat down to one of the restaurants set menus and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our dining experience. The food was perfection on a plate. The attentive and friendly wait staff were superb in action and manner. The view over Wellington... More

Martin Bosley's restaurant is hard to imitate: Great setting in Wellington's Yacht Club and Martin's creative cuisine. Each dish is inventive and it can be mind blowing. I've only had sweet pea ice cream once in my life, at Martin's and it was amazing. Make sure you give the tasting menu a try because that the best way to experience... More

Martin Bosley's has a built up a solid reputation as one of the Capital's bay-side fine-dining destinations with a special emphasis on premium seafood. In expectation of a top-tier evening ,I reserved a table for a degustation menu on a weekday. The start to this was not highly auspicious- there was an "open" sign at the unceremonious entrance though they... More

Never a let down and if you are after a very special treat then this is it. The tasting menu is incredible and if you are lucky to have Martin talk you through his creations then even better. Without doubt one of the finest fish orientated restaurants I ever eaten in and a superb wine list with some of the... More

We had a quick trip to New Zealand, and there's only 2 places in Wellington I come back to, time and time again for a good feed - Martin Bosley and the Whitehouse! My husband's sushi plate entree was one of the most memorable dishes we've ever had! It was just so delicious! Don't come here for big portions but... More

Eating out on St. Valentine's Day can be a bit of a lottery, frankly. Many restaurants limit your choice of dishes, jack up the prices and cram in as many tables as possible. Fortunately, Martin Bosley's is an exception to the rule. The special (11 course) gastronomic menu with matching wines at 225 NZD is actually terrific value at any... More

One of Wellington's top restaurants (and priced accordingly); heavily patronised by the city's diplomatic corps. Terrific seafood. More
