The Residence — Restaurant in North Island

Was in town to watch Celtic dancing last year needed a place to have a meal and a drink. A friend suggested this place. It was amazing! The food was again amazing, I ordered a burger and fries my friend got calamari, chicken tenders, fries. We were able to get to drinks for price of one till a certain time so we had gin and orange juice then we hit the cocktails. The apple martini with it being like a slushies is the reason I’m coming back this Sunday and yes this time I’m taking a photo of my food! Don’t judge it’s so good! The service was amazing the bar tender was a very friendly guy who just has absolutely great vibes! He made the night out even better considering we don’t go out often. The atmosphere in the club is also amazing as well totally recommend coming here. The food is a clear 10/10 the service is 10/10 the promptness is 10/10 the vibe is 10/10

This is the place to go in Wellington. Thanks again I do have photos of my drinks so I will share those lol 😂

I work in the food industry so it was super upsetting to see kitchen staff not care when they knew there was an issue - if they know there are no current orders and someone comes up to ask how long their food is going to be, why give them an estimated time and then not check with the bartender about the order? We got a refund and left, very...

Came here for early dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive. The waitress asked me fot my credit card after i made my order at our table. She said its going to get very busy (it was wednesday evening) and they just wanted to be safe. I was waiting for it to be returned as but she never came back. So i went to her and asked for my card back. I told her i dont leave my card credit card with someone - out my sight. She explained that its the pub's policy, which i found rather weird. First place in wellington to experience this. So im not impressed at all. She finally gave it back to me. The...
