Circa Theatre — Attraction in North Island

We were very disappointed with the food we purchased. A $50 bottle of wine accompanied something called "salad greens and a vegetable frittata" The frittata was dry and looked and tasted like it had been in a fridge for more than a day. No effort had been made with the salad greens that looked and tasted stale and wilted. I also had asked for "chunky fries" as a starter, and saw the server take a bag of chips out of a freezer just a few moments before he brought them to our table.

Seats comfy, staff relaxed and welcoming, refurbished Cafe and bar area very nice and well laid out - could do with a few more tables and chairs for theatre patrons. Carpaking easy at TePapa next door - all in all a wonderful asset in the arsenal of entertainment Wellington has to offer - and one of my all time...
