Review The Victoria Tavern, Petone - Petone

We had a the calamari, tiger prawns, fish sliders, and clam linguine. The calamari was cooked perfectly a d the tiger prawns has an amazing flavour (I was dunking chips into the sauce because it was so good). The only downside was there was a little bit of sand (or something gritty like that) throughout the linguine sauce. The pasta itself was cooked well and had a nice bite to it. We finished with the peanut butter mousse and thought it was amazing! Great balance of textures, sweetness and acidity. Wait staff were nice and friendly, and the kitchen was very quick to put out our orders.

Had no problem getting a table for three on a Tuesday night. Menu is varied, service and atmosphere were great. Tuesday night was pasta night and my partner enjoyed the beef ragu. I had the cauliflower steak, and felt the price was a little steep for the size of the meal. Can highly recommend the apple crumble cider, it's a must try.

Great service! Forgot to book in pram/baby but easily accommodated by servers. Fish and chips was tasty!

Had a nice buzz on Tuesday and Saturday when we dined there. Great staff. Very friendly, accomadating and attentive. Food was lovely. Unfortunately, the food was served on cold plates, on both occasions, but that could be fixed?? Hence the 4 star on food. Yummy enough for sure. Loved the old photos of Petone in the decor. Felt relaxed there and a place we will return to.

Been here twice, both times for a birthday. I LOVE their food so much!! The place and atmosphere is so perfect and very chill. Their selection of food and drinks is just perfection! Staff are also very nice and friendly! Will be back again soon~

Amazing service, the staff were always checking up on us and super friendly. The food was so yum. Was super hungry so didn't manage to take any pics. The cocktails looked amazing will definitely be back to have some of them. Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone

$2 Oyster Thursday’s… now $3. You can easily spend a lot of money here. Extensive gin & cocktail menu and good food. It’s a nice bar and always busy.

Go fit the beef cheeks. It's the most delicious I ever had. The fried gingers as garnish was a bit bitter n burnt but the beef cheeks were amazing. The staff provided good service too

Went for the first time on Tuesday for a Xmas party. The set menu is amazing. Beautiful food!! Was so impressed . I will be back.

Nice atmosphere, great selection of food and the food was amazing (thanked the chef personally). My only criticism (minor) was where wasn't enough coffee flavour in tirimisu (I'm not a big coffee drinker but love this dessert). Service got a 3 because there were two waiting staff and one forgot who we were (only table seated in the dining section) and the other seemed rushed and it felt like our requests were a burden.

A great dining experience. The staff were attentive and very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. I had the wagu beef cheeseburger and chips on a brioche bun. Really tasty. The thick cut chips were perfect. Also had the chicken pate. Really nice. It was a really nice atmosphere too. After another visit we had the striploin steak, eye fillet steak, hummus and chips

Great little place with amazing service. The servers individually keep checking on you to figure out if you are alright and or need anything else to order. Had the margarita, didn't feel like a watered down version like just places, could definitely taste the alcohol. There's an outdoor area as well, good for smokers.

A great place to meet friends and enjoy good food. The drinks are also great with a good selection of cocktails. Can be a bit noisy so if you're hard of hearing it after a romantic dinner for 2 its probably not the place for you.

Three of us oldies dined out here for lunch. The food was great but the service was even better. Top marks go to the wait staff.

Nice place. It was great for a girls catchup - good food and tasty cocktails. Special thanks to Nate for friendly and fabulous service. Will definitely come back when visiting Wellington again.

I can not recommend this place highly enough. You could mistake that you were in a 5 star restaurant in the centre of Melbourne. The Lamb three ways and the beef checks were the best we have ever had. No I am not a food critic but I like great food and i would go out of my way to come back here. Trust me you will not be disappointed
