Bay Plaza Hotel Restaurant

Good variety food, nice presented and tasty. staff very friendly. Would recommend

Had a fabulous dinner at the Bay Plaza Hotel. Great service, good food and a lovely atmosphere. Excellent value for money.

From stater to dessert the look and taste of the food was fabulous! I was in need of something that was fresh, wholesome and real!
Deliciously crisp Greek salad, followed by the most devine Gurnard fish dish I have ever had!
I don’t normally have desserts but opted to the cheesecake which finished the meal off nicely.

This was a meal I will remember for a long time and will most definitely return next time I’m in Wellington. Compliments to the Chef!

Food were great and staffs were very attentive and friendly. We just felt that the menu was too simple and the choices are too limited. Love the raspberry cheesecake.

Pleasant

very nice

Great experience, lovely food and our newly trained waitress was very friendly and efficient.

Best fish dish my husband and I have tasted in Wellington. The salad and dessert were delicious too! We'd gladly eat hear again. The staff were attentive and did a great job. Kudos to whoever is in the kitchen concocting these mouth-watering meals. Highly recommended! ❤️

The food was beautiful as was the service, will definately be going back.

Good food

Our waiter made us very welcome, we loved the food and atmosphere!

Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere and views. So glad we chose to dine here! The staff were wonderful and the service was probably the best I've received at a restaurant. We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending Bay Plaza to everyone.

will surely recommend and had a great time there.

Very enjoyable. Restaurant wasn't busy. The waitress was excellent, she knew her job and was very helpful.
The steak meal we had was perfect and cooked to order.

portions were very generous and food was delicious . Yum garlic bread sweet potato fries to start...we both had lamb curry the lamb was super tender with roti rice and fresh salad ...will definitely go back and try their other dishes

We had a lovely time at the Bay Plaza Hotel restaurant. I just rang a few hours earlier to set up a surprise dessert for dad’s birthday and they did not disappoint. The staff were always on hand to see to our needs. The food was yum! Even my 7 year old daughter thought so too. Overall, an awesome dining experience. Will definitely dine here again.

We were genuinely pleased with our dining expreience at Bay Plaza. You are never sure what to expect at a hotel restaurant but this place has quality food and service. The meals are well portioned and there is good variety. But being on level one is doesn't match 180 at the Copthorne for views of Wellington and harbour though.

Hotel restaurants can be a bit hit and miss. They tend to be at the upper end of the price scale without the food and/or service justifying the cost. The prices at Bay Plaza were refreshingly moderate and the food was excellent along with being a good portion size. Wine list was pretty good - they were out of the wine I ordered but suggested a replacement that really hit the spot.

Great value for money. Food was well presented and good quality. Table staff were very nice and helpful. Would dine again.

This restaurant has a lot of potential, our meals were good and dessert’s were divine, we would defiantly recommend to others

Fabulous meal and very good service thoroughly enjoyed our evening in Wellington

Lovely evening inside not so good outside.. The staff and the evening meal made up for the poor weather conditions. Steak cooked perfectly.

Bright, open feeling restaurant. Great food. Excellent service and friendly, helpful staff.

Great service, great food, all round good experience

Was a quiet and relaxing experiance. All our dining needs were attended too with bright and bubbly staff. Food was delicious.

The food was exceptional and the service was attentive and polite. What a shame there weren't more patrons.

We had a lovely evening. Good food and excellent service, without being intrusive. We started with crispy garlic bread and it was lovely. The fish of the day was Gurnard and it was fresh and cooked perfectly. The chicken was also tastefully done and presented.

We really had a great time at Bay Plaza Restaurant.
The food was delicious.

Well worth a visit. Food excellent. Room a bit echoey

I had my post birthday celebration yesterday..The food was awesome!As well as the service.I love the tomato soup and husband did too,considering he is not a fan of tomato soup.And as a special treat,mu dessert had a candle on it,which is fantastic!

Average food, great service.

Awesome food and excellent service even though they forgot one of the mains - was not an issue and gave us free drinks to apologise for the error/wait, but this turned up within a few minutes. Food was tasty and filling and despite being busy with a large group, food came out in a timely manner.

My boyfriend and I live up the street from Bay Plaza Hotel so walk past at least 4 times a day. I was searching on First Table for the perfect date night option and so of course Bay Plaza Hotel, with its close proximity to our house(and the city center) and its glorious sunny restaurant, was my first choice. The food was absolutely delicious and came in very generous portions. The staff were friendly and attentive and even let us swap out vanilla ice cream for hokey pokey! My favourite! My boyfriend reckons the Bay Plaza Hotel will be our new regular, and I agree! This was both of our first time using First Table and I can now say we are hooked. Thank you Bay Plaza Hotel for a delightful night out.

Food was excellent. We shared the meals we ordered as a family, and so we were able to taste each of our orders. The chicken was soft and moist; the lamb was juicy and cooked well; the steak was excellent. The service was fantastic too. Can't find any fault! It was our first time to dine here, and we were delighted with the dinner we had at the hotel!

Was very impressed with the service and the food was surperb aswell.

Very good service, nice meal and a pleasant environment.

We booked first table at Bay Plaza for a birthday celebration. It was a very pleasant experience from the starters to the desserts. All of us enjoyed the dishes we ordered ( fish, braised lamb, steak ) as it was beautifully prepared and presented. The service was great without being overpowering and the food arrived quite quickly. There is also free car parking available which really helps in Wellington ! Wonderful place and will definitely go again.

Environment were OK, not super flash. However it's serene and enjoyable. Food were great. Applause for the chefs who have done marvelously.

Excellent service, very friendly staff. Food is very good. Many thanks we will go again.

Enjoyed our dinner last night. Our food was beautifully cooked. We had a slight problem but the staff went over and beyond to cater to our needs so we were very impressed by the service. They even went out of their way to track us down and call us to let us know we had left an item behind. Friendly service and great food

Thoroughly enjoyed the excellent tasty food and excellent service from Joe from the time we arrived till we walked out the door, absolutely full bellys and satisfied. A very special occasion for partner and I celebrating our 20th year anniversary where the 50% off all food was an added bonus to a beautiful relaxed and delightful dinner. Thank you First Table and Thank you Bay Plaza Restaurant and Bar.

We were in Wellington for the weekend and decided to have an early meal at Bay Plaza, prior to watching the All Blacks test match. We were greeted warmly by a young woman and shown to a table by the window. My Lamb Shank was "melt in the mouth" delicious and there was a generous serving of vegetables with the meal. My husband had perfectly cooked Sirloin Steak and again a generous serving of vegetables. We shouldn't have but we had Apple and Rhubarb Crumble and Banoffee Sundae for dessert, both absolutely delicious. Our young waiter was very polite and charming, I thoroughly recommend Bay Plaza Hotel Restaurant

Food came in good portions. Had the steak and it was delicious. Staff were also very friendly

Service was excellent. Server was very friendly. Food was cooked well.

Lovely food reasonably priced with great service - family loved it!

Yum Yum and more Yum!!!!
We dined as a table of 4 and the food was delicious, Lamb shank cooked to perfection with meat falling off the bone and lovely pea and feta salad with creamy mash to go with it, serving size was generous too! Fish of the day was perfectly cooked and so fresh, beautifully presented with saffron butter although needed a little bit more seasoning, easily done with a sprinkle of salt from the table.
We all tried a different desert and the chocolate brownie won hands down with its salted caramel sauce and Ice-Cream.
Agree with other reviews in that this place is underrated and we will definitely be returning for fresh, quality beautifully presented food with attentive staff. Thank you First Table and thank you Bay Plaza Hotel, thoroughly enjoyed my birthday dinner and the wine of the month too a cute 200ml bottle of Italian Prosecco for only $10!

We ordered steak and fish n chips with a lovely fresh salad. I must say the steak was tender cooked to perfection & well presented. The whole meal was great including the garlic bread which was to die for. Staff very friendly helpful & attentive.

Excellent food! Great service! Will definitely come back!

We had a delicious meal here on Sunday evening. The cauliflower salad entree is yummy and the fish of the day was really really good. The tagine is nice but the sauce is a bit strong and overpowering for the rest of the meal, otherwise delicious. Lovely staff and delightful meal. Would love to return again some day.

My partner and i had an amazing time dining at the Bay Plaza hotel restaurant, we would certainly come back and happily recommend to others. The restaurant is located on the first floor so we had a nice view while dining and while not massive had a very nice atmosphere, classy, yet not some where you have to dress up for. We had excellent service from our waitress who was happy to answer our questions and was very knowledgeable about the food, she also made us some very very nice LLB's! The food was also excellent, it arrived promptly (I think we had to wait less then 10 min) and was very tasty, my partner had the fish of the day which was cooked to perfection and was a good sized fillet, i had a vege burger and some kumera fries (Kumera fires were crispy and not greasy at all, possibly best I've every had). The deserts that we had were also extremely good and very good portion sizes, wasn't able to finish mine in the end, although not for lack of trying! A+ dining experience
