charley noble eatery & bar

went there last week and got a table straight away. the service from a visiting young man from
france was personal and attentive. excellent lamb shoulder and divine cauliflower dish . great night.

went here for wellington on a plate and they served up an ice cream in a cone for desert. no mention in the menu of a cone ice cream and i'm not 4 years old or standing at the wendy's counter. self indulgent and pretentious and spoilt my night. neither of the two woap mains were particularly enjoyable and the zany zeus feta was the highlight of an average main dish that consisted of a turkey breast accompanied by an overload of broccoli.

one of wellingtons standout venues, food is always of a high standard and very tasty. service normally to match. it has fast become the place to go..

i have wanted to eat here for a while but had been put off by the no reservations policy. as it turned out the place is large and there was no trouble getting a table.  the service was mostly good, a slight hiccup when our order went to another table, but it was sorted out fairly promptly.
i had the home made pasta with prawns and a light  tomato with chili sauce, it was superb, my companion had the prawns that were also pronounced superb.
i would definitely go back as the food was outstanding, and despite being a large room you could opt for a booth and have a fairly intimate meal. the drinks list was extensive but we were disappointed to find that the headline cocktail was unavailable.

great service, good wine list, a menu with good variety and one of the best steaks in town. tonight i started with bluff oysters, followed by the ribeye with a side of truffle fries (perfect combo) and finished with a strawberry soft serve in a waffle cone. great meal at one of the best restaurants in wellington.

yummy yummy!!! absolutely 5 for this one!!!! highly recommend this!!!! the crab bisque is really delicious, it's not like a soup, the flavor is so nice. for the lamb shoulder, the sauce for that is sweet, but it can balance the flavor of the lamb. the tiger prawns seasoning very well. i really have a good time in here.

visiting from melbourne, our party of four were very underwhelmed by our dinner experience here last friday night. the service was almost non-existent - having to ask to have our water glasses refilled shouldn't be necessary. the menu offered a good range of options and the starters (such as my bruschetta) were fine - without being very innovative or memorable. two of our group had 'aged' sirloin steaks for mains which were  grisly and certainly not the tender piece of age beef we expected for the premium $38 price tag. to add to the disappointment we then had to order sides at $9 each. surely its not too much to ask to expect some modest accompaniments when paying a premium price for essentially a 300g slab of meat? at least the turkish delight for desert was a tasty finish but i won't be rushing back . great location and good vibe but charley noble should do much better.

charley noble is one of my favorite places to go in wellington. their arancini balls are fantastic. service is great. all round great place.

our entree and main course meet our expectations for the night. however all bar one the waitering staff were terrible, our beer and cocktails of choice were unavailable and the dessert was an absolute disappointment. would not go back or recommend to anyone.

fine dining experience that was very nice. the flavours were great, the service was excellent and the menu would cater to all tastes. it was fairly packed and the tables were a little close together but otherwise i'd recommend for an enjoyable meal. a good vent for a work dinner.

amazing place. a friend and i really wanted pork belly with crackling and found this place through zomato. every single staff member we interacted with were friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was a good one. the pork belly was amazing. all the flavours went perfectly with each other and the crackling was the best i've had. we had the strawberry tart to finish which was also delicious with a perfect shortcrust pastry. both bar staff and our waitress let us taste wines to find the perfect one for a glass, which was an experience i haven't been offered before and was truly appreciated.

great service and food here. have been here on a handful of occassions and on the last one came for dessert after wow because it was right across the road. excellent desserts. we ordered the frozen torrone, profiteroles and summer bery trifle which were all decadent and very satisfying.

many people have recommended coming here for dinner so we finally did on a sat evening in early january and were able to get a seat. the restaurant was really busy but the service was pretty quick. i asked for sparkling water and my partner a tap water. out comes a 750ml bottle! often waitresses will let you know the size if it’s only 1 of you drinking it but this waitress didn’t. had i known, i would’ve ordered something more exciting than spend $11 on a bottle of water as they had some interesting non-alcoholic drinks on the menu. this was more than an alcoholic drink! i ordered a small size of the duck ragu pappardelle which was tasty but not amazing for the price you pay. my partner enjoyed his steak with béarnaise sauce. they said they would bring out a selection of mustards to go with the steak but this never arrived. we shared a sesame slaw which was really tasty and had an orange flavour to the dressing and some chips with aioli which were nice but not as good as they could’ve been. overall, not as great as i was expecting.

just had a grey night out, the food was amazing and the service was good and friendly.
went for dinner with another couple, was worried at the start as it took a while for he waitress to come and get our drinks order, but after that things were great. it was so nice that the staff knew who had order what - to tired of paying high prices for poor service. all of us enjoyed our food, each dish was cooked well and presented beautifully. timing was good - enough time between course but not to much.

want to have a relax night out with friends i highly recommend charley noble.

very accommodating staff. good service
sirloin was the best i have had in new zealand. my wife's pumpkin ravioli with ameretti was simply divine.
