Logan Brown

This was an incredible dinner, both in the sense of food and service. They made one small mistake and went completely out of their way to fix it in the kindest way possible. The location is beautiful and there is a nice ambiance. The tasting menu is very well-priced, especially considering that you get very good-sized portions - we both left feeling very full. I can really see why this is an award-winning restaurant! (I have just one photo of the dessert, but all of the food was great)

So, I wanted to write this review closer to another public holiday, because for sure people will start looking at reviews. If you're in Wellington for Queen's birthday and want to go somewhere special GO TO LOGAN BROWN. From the decor, to the menu, to the service, our experience was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Even though the place was busy, the servers were all friendly and helpful, and one even offered to take a photo of my friend and I, which I really appreciated. The food was also amazing! Their 3 course menu had amazing options and the portions were big enough to be filling and very much worth the price. They were accommodating, professional and so very hospitable. I would definitely go there again. Many thanks to Ajay, who provided us such amazing hospitality that my friend and I couldn't stop talking about our meal at Logan Brown for days on end. You've elevated our experience and made it truly special.

Best start with the paua ravioli. 💯 Recommend for $12, make sure you keep some of the bread to mop up the sauce afterwards. Our service was slow from the kitchen which we think really impacted the food. Stracciatella was a little bland, the pear and radish accompanying it didn't add much. Duck and hapuka was slightly over but still had crispy skins. Hierloom carrots were over done, prefer them al dente, but maybe that's personal preference. Espresso and cardamon mousse was so over powered with cardamom it tasted like soy sauce, couldn't taste any coffee it in. Would go for the parfait or cheeses over that.

We dined at Logan Brown for my husband's birthday. It was the right choice for us because he wanted something intimate and cozy. Logan Brown changes their menu every 3 weeks or so. It was the first day of their new menu. We ordered from their Logan Brown Bistro Menu @85.00 each with one wine match for $55.00 and I got myself a refreshing lychee mocktail. To start we had the homemade sourdough and raisin bread with salted honey and garlic butter. Entrée, we had a vegetarian dish and rabbit meat. Rabbit meat was paired with a red wine from Italy. Mains, I had their potato and gnocchi - which for my taste pallet was a bit salty, but they did offer to give me something else, which I didn't take cuz you know it was about my husband that night and not me haha. On the other hand, my husband really enjoyed his snapper which was paired with a Chardonnay from NZ. Had some broccolini on sides too to go with our mains. We finished with some desserts, I had the espresso mouse and my husband got dessert with happy birthday written on it and served with a glass of Resiling from Marlborough. Our total with tips was $260. Our server was Ajay he was very sweet and accommodating to my dietary needs. The service was smooth and timely. My husband really enjoyed, so I am happy too. Thanks :)

The $75 three course menu was excellent value for money for gourmet-Master-Chef-quality food. I had the red onion tart, then pork belly main and espresso mousse dessert with broccolini and garlic mushroom sides. We also got 2 pieces of freshly made bread and their 2 options of amazing, creamy, flavoured butter. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were really friendly, professional, neatly dressed and knowledgeable about the food, and the restaurant was bustling with lots of customers. Highly recommended. I'd definitely go back again. 😀👍
