We popped in here on a whim and were so pleased we did!! Excellent food. The service was a bit slow to start but they were busy. Tables are pretty close together so not the most intimate of places but the food was just delicious. We will be back

An absolute delight of a place. Top notch service, an excellent drinks menu, and a crafted food menu. I ordered the market fish with desert and it was absolutely perfect. I had food envy for their steaks - also looked delicious.

We began with Southern Alps Venison. Medium yet very tender. Put a couple of those together and it would be a meal. For mains, he had aged fillet of beef with Bernaise medium rare; I had tender braised Wagyu short rib Cauliflower gratin and twice cooked fries for sides.

Why don't we come here more often? The traditional Sunday roast is also phenomenal.

Excellent dining. Started with cocktails for pre dinner. Lambs liver for an entree was great then onto the Lamb Shank. Finished off with a coffee and Benedictine. Service was ordered and pleasant. I like being able to see a kitchen work so I enjoyed that. This was calm and well organized. I’ll be back.

Many friends have recommended this restaurant because they are known for excellent food and service. We had friends visiting from out of town so we wanted to treat them to a nice lunch. My husband and I settled on the sweet potato gnocchi and when it arrived it looked beautiful. Unfortunately the taste wasn't good. It wasn't gnocchi but rather a bland, pasty dumpling. My favourite parts of the dish were the blistered tomatoes. One friend ordered chicken pot pie which was delicious, and my other friend ordered snapper. It was perfectly cooked, but also very bland. Our server was polite & professional and he suggested an excellent wine for us. I think we caught the chef on a bad day because our other friends were shocked when I described our experience.

Boulcott Street Bistro was a may. It's not often I hand out a 5 star rating, but this place really deserves it. The food, setting and service was excellent. I had the mushroom ravioli, roasted snapper fish and shared a creme brulee. My wife had crumbed calamari and aged fillet steak. We tried to be critical, but couldn't. All the dishes were delicious and full of flavour. If I had to pick a favourite, it would be the ravioli. Try it! The truffle aroma and flavour were strong and punchy. Wish there were more than 2 piece cos I could've eaten more. The fish was generous and perfectly cooked. Most restaurants overcook their fish, but not here. Steak was smoky and melt-in-your-mouth smooth. Creme brulee was best we've ever had.

The young man that served us was casual, friendly and very helpful.

We really enjoyed our evening here. Well done to all involved. We'll be back.

Guests from USA wanted NZ lamb - Sunday night we arrived and had the most gorgeous meal topped with a Central Otago Pinot. Thank you to the wonderful staff who allowed us to sit and chat for ages after we had finished our lovey meal (no-one was waiting as it was after 9.30) Thanks guys you are awesome!

What a hidden gem! The restaurant is set in a beautiful old home in the middle of the city. The food was beautifully prepared and reasonably priced. The service was a bit lacking, however the restaurant ambiance was abuzz!

Hands down the best meal we had in Wellington! The steak melted in your mouth and the pork had the most delicious crust on it. Our starters were delicious as well, and the elderflower sour that my partner got was perfect. Highly recommend!!

Outstanding service and every dish was impeccably done. We had the calamari, the beef, and the duck. Wish we had a chance to try the lamb but would definitely recommend you save room for dessert - The apricot tart with rosemary ice cream was 👌👌

Amazing food lovely atmosphere everyone was friendly especially the brother who made a coffee shots in his machine kept us up on the drive back to Auckland. Food was great especially the steak and lamb shank. Would highly recommend dinning in Wellington.

Really enjoyed coming to boil city street bistro. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. We got the steak and the lamb, and they did not disappoint. The meat were cooked to perfection with the beef being medium rare and the lamb just fell off the bone. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again.

We had one evening in Wellington and we were fortunate in choosing to eat at the Boulcott Street Bistro. Our waitress, Audrey, was one of the best we’ve had eating in restaurants on four continents. Audrey had an infectious lovely attitude and made a brilliant wine recommendation from her home town of Martinborough. We started with the octopus as our entree, then My wife had the Lamb Shank and I had the Duck Confit. The food was excellent! Our only regret is that the Bistro isn’t closer to home so we can enjoy it more often then this one trip.

After reading through a few lists of "Wellington's best restaurants" online, I spotted Boulcott Street Bistro being mentioned in most, if not all of the lists, so it was an obvious pick for me to try out. Seated at the bar, Sam the bartender whipped up a really delicious rosebud cocktail and made me feel very welcome. I couldn't fault the service for the evening. The french onion soup was moreish, and while the fish was a bit overcooked, the aubergine caponata made the dish. I'd be keen to come back and find out all the raves about the steak here.

The place is run very well by the manager who is friendly. Beautiful inside, fantastic wine list both by the glass and bottle. The filet was cooked to perfection and was a high quality piece of beef. French onion soup was solid though I've had more flavorful versions. Excellent bread provided as well. I would definitely come back if I am in Wellington again. The waitress provided the right amount of attentiveness.

Very good for price. We got the special lunch T-bone steak for 2 for $50. White peppercorn sauce was delicious. The only disappointment was the fries - a bit dry and the oil tasted a little funny - but having said that, it’s optional to order. Staff were awesome!

I was here for Wellington on a plate, second year in a row. Both times, the food and service was outstanding. I tried the smoked baby beets with goat cheese and crayfish marseille for the starter and main. Both were delicious. I also tried the oysters and margarita, they were soooo good. I am a big fan of good margaritas and their version of it made me so happy. Overall it was a 5 star experience, both times.

Busy weekend dinner so there was a 40 minute wait, which was fine as we didn't have a reservation. Staff were all friendly and accommodating to dietary requirements and will keep your hat safe while you have your meal until you're ready to leave. Seating arrangements were very tight; these close vicinity seating can make it overwhelmingly noisy for some. Food was fine, the lamb could've been better but the overall experience was pleasant.
