Artisan at Bolton Hotel — Restaurant in Wellington

We held a private dinner party at Artisan for about 40 people. Aside from a couple of miscommunications in the initial stages of arranging the party, there was no faulting the service, food, amenities, facilities, or the staff at the Artisan restaurant. Everything was absolutely perfect. The setup in the room, the help from the staff, the private dining menu, the food quality was really superb (well done to the kitchen team). We've used Artisan 3 times now for private functions, and honestly I see no reason I'd not do it again, and I absolutely can recommend this team and location to anyone looking for a dinner party. Top marks to the whole team at Artisan and the Bolton events...

I ate dinner at the Artisan several times during my stay at the Bolton hotel in June and July 2017. The service was always excellent. Dinner was on the expensive side, but generally worth it. The lamb, beef, venison and fish mains were fabulous. The duck risotto the only main that I was every disappointed with; there wasn't that much duck in it, especially the second time that I had it. The side dishes were also fabulous, especially the beetroot.Wine list was very good with gold stars going to the Wooing Tree pinot noir. It paired well with everything, but especially the lamb...

Don't do it. Especially not the Aubergine Cannelloni. Two things I usually love, but I gag remembering this dish which cost $33. The mains are tiny and you get for example a small piece of meat. No greens or potatoes. For upwards of $30. Service was poor.no water in sight, stranded at our tables for lengthy periods without being able to order. Requested a bottle of water for the yas and had my glass filled. Had to locate a staff member to have it filled again half an hour later.. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby, on the terrace.. Try Bethel Woods, Huxleys,...
