I wasn't going to bother with this review, but they asked so here it is. An average experience, with food that needed more love, especially as it wasn't exactly busy. The 'blooming garlic bread' is gimmicky and awkward to eat, and was dry and overcooked. Her steak was more medium-rare than rare, and my fried chicken was okay but lacking the crispiness I would expect with the word 'fried' in the menu description. I accept these are First-world problems, but it's disappointing because the only other people there already had their food. Assuming the kitchen wasn't rushed off their feet, why then could our meals not be shown a little more care by people paid to do so? It was also disappointing that after 10mins the dirty dishes weren't cleared, and I did it myself. If this place can't cope when it's empty at 7pm on a Saturday night, how do they manage if they're busy? We earlier had our dessert orders sussed, but by then we were over it and just checked out.

We were disappointed with our choice to go here for dinner. Staff were lovely but the food options were really limited compared to many other places. We wanted a paleo dinner so ordered the steak without any of the non-paleo options. They didn't offer any substitutions for the things we couldn't have. They added balsamic vinegar after we asked for no dressing, and added butter to a side of seasonal veg after we specified it must be plain. The meals were small, only average in taste and we couldn't eat half of it because of the lack of respect for our dietary requirements. We could have got a lot more elsewhere for the money so felt a bit ripped off. Won't go there again with so many other wonderful options in Wellington.

I had a flying trip thru Welly today and had to sample several options of the WOAP offering while I had the chance. Having not been disappointed on my last visit to TGM I had to give them another go. The Cheesy Lebanesey is worth the visit alone. It was sold to me by 'Dan' who paired it nicely with the Esk Valley Merlot Cab. The bite through the brisket, the crunch of the pickles with the roasted red pepper & cheese sauce (wow!) topped my earlier experience today. Request extra serviettes or take your own wet wipes and just dive in. Finish it off with an 'Ape Escape' and dessert is covered. When in Wellington, right? Absolutely!

Disappointing. Sat at a table and then ignored. Table not cleaned and sticky from last costumers. Ordered two burgers (one of them the Visa welly Burger). Took 50 mins for food to come. My drink took 35 mins to arrive (whereas my patner's came within 10 mins weirdly - would have been nice to drink at same time!). Burger looked rubbish compared to the pictures, with no yoghurt in it (on the description and pics). Disappointing and cold. Definitely felt like false advertising. Staff frequently shouting and not friendly or attentive. Wasn't that busy so weren't sure why such bad service. Pretty terrible overall.

We ordered the Steak with extra Rib and fried egg with sause on sides, but it comes on top of our meals and the cook isn't right. I believe it should be delivered by wrong tables. We told to the waitress but no follow up which is upset. But the restaurant manager is very nice and reasonable when we pay. As the sause is mixed with steak and fries, so hard to comment the taste but still give them a four stars as they have a great restaurant manager she can follow customer's claim immediately. Will still come back again. Ps. They have some different activities/promotion different weekdays.

Very funny and unpleasant experience. First of all it’s not an Irish pub. Well, not having Guinness on tap is not an Irish thing… We just took our sit and girl said: “Please put you order now because our chef wants to go on a break”… seriously??? Secondly, ordered pizza… regret! It’s just a pizza from PakNSave for 27 bucks… On top we were even not given plates! What????? Apparently chef was in a hurry so he didn’t even make an effort to slice our pizza. I hope owners read reviews and take some actions… For anyone reading this, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! More better sport around.
