Serving modern fare and classic bistro dishes since 1991
The food, service and the atmosphere were great. The kind and very welcoming staff helped us with all our question, about the menu or just in general. :) The food and drinks were really good as well. Overall a nice evening, We would love to come again!
A Wellington classic and top notch service. Wonderful old building that makes the most of its space and staff abound within. Started with tasty Marlborough oysters, French Onion soup as good as it gets, aged beef was cooked rare and tasty. Partners osso buco with venison lost the points by being rather dry and plate was cool. Fabulous wine selection. Overall very good dinner experience.
I will start the review by saying a huge thank you to the staff for being extremely professional and well groomed! We really felt spoiled! The atmosphere is lovely and calm/romantic. It was perfect for our birthday dinner. Our entres were squid and duck parfait. I loved the detail of the sweetness of the hazelnut "cracker", which was almost like a thin biscotti that paired really well with parfait. We shared the eye fillet and the venison for the main. Eye fillet was cooked perfectly and was melting in the mouth. The venison was accompanied with cherries. It was the first time I tried this combination and we both thought that it was perfect! For dessert unfortunately the restaurant has sold out of the chocolate option, so we chose the creme brulee and the apricot tart. The creme brulee was very good according to my partner and we shared the tart. The apricots, I think, were cooked without sugar so were quite sour with almost a hint of salt. That worked really well with the light sweetness of the pasty and a strong sweetness coming from the ice cream . All together the balance of flavour was fantastic.
What a gem! From the moment Ivy greeted is we felt like valued patrons. The ambience is simultaneously upscale and cozy, and the food is a combination of classic flavours with inventive touches. We went for the $25 300g t-bone steak lunch special - cooked perfectly to order. I’d highly recommend the smoked bone marrow butter as topping. Twice cooked fries were a perfect accompaniment. Unlike North American restaurants where bread is served first to fill you up, here the house-made crusty sourdough is served for wiping up all the succulent meat juices (preventing diners from licking their plates). The wine list is beautifully curated, but a bonus is the equally carefully curated craft beer list. Desserts are generous and decadent, with the apricot flan served warm!! Truly, perfection.
Excellent food here at Boulcott Street Bistro! I’ve come twice now for the lunchtime special T-bone steak, for $25 you get a delicious steak & fantastic homemade bread! I also liked being able to add the eggs and definitely made me think about oysters and affogato. I will absolutely be back and can’t recommend this place enough for a nice meal out! I tipped a percentage too just because it was so good!
