Hummingbird Eatery - Wellington

Great service and food, the shared lamb shoulder would serve 4 lucky us, that means we have tomorrow's dinner sorted

Nice ambience, staff friendly and food was great. A bit pricey but overall a great experience for a special occasion .

Everything was great until our group tried to order two portions of lamb. Our group of 6 only needed a portion for 2 as we we're ordering a bunch of dishes to share. We were disappointed to be told that if 6 people were going to share it, we'd have to pay for a dish each, $38pp. When we tried to explain that we only wanted the amount that would feed 2, they turned very sour and got very rude. I have never had such a bad experience. The food was good but the service was appalling. We ended up having to talk to the manager to change waiter due to the poor customer service however the attitude didn't really change. The dishes overall were delicious but it wasn't worth the poor customer service. Save your time and money and go to another deserving restaurant.

We used to really love this place and the menu, however it seems like they've increased prices dramatically. I would be fine with that if the amount or quality of the dishes increased as well, but I felt very hungry after finishing the tiny 38 nzd steak which came with a few grilled green beans on the side. The taste was great, Ioved it, but the size of the portion was absolutely not worth the price. Sad, but will probably not visit again.

I.LOVED.THIS.PLACE!!!! Ever since I went here for dinner while I was visiting New Zealand in September 2017, I have been CRAVING to come back here again. Not only was the service exceptionally welcoming and friendly, but the drinks (I had a lowrider and the meal (I had the lamb and it was truly one of the most decadently delicious dishes I have EVER eaten are practically unparalleled, especially for the price : . (UPDATE: it 's been about a year and a half since I visited this place and I am STILL salivating over the drinks and food I had while I was there...I 'm seriously planning a future trip to New Zealand just so that I can eat here again!!!! . Anyway, the ambiance is cozy and the location is terrific an excellent place for a first date, date night, or a bite by yourself.
