Bin44 Restaurant Bar, Wellington

It was our first time to visit Bin 44. We were greeted by welcoming FOH and assisted to our table. The food was great. I think the chargrilled angus sirloin steak was one of the best steak I had and was cooked to perfection. It was still tender and juicy despite being a medium-well. The ratatouille on the side and basil pesto complemented the dish well. The other food we've ordered was the double cooked pork belly. It was tender, juicy and goes well with the salad and sauce. The staff made us feel welcome and enjoyed our dining experience. Oh, don't forget the fries, it was crispy on the outside and soft inside.

The service is ALWAYS slow, whether they're busy or not. Beer selection is pretty good, meat platter is pretty good, everything else is average. E.g. calamari is tasty but always a smidge undercooked, and doesn't come out golden brown. They serve food without napkins and utensils, and you always have to ask for water. This is all very consistent, so if you know what they're like you can kind of work around it, but if not you're likely to be disappointed.

What a lovely place to relax on a summer’s evening. A perfectly relaxing location to sip on an cold beverage and nibble on chips. It had been a long hot day but staff were still attentive and chatty.

A great location on the wharf for a catch-up. A really good selection of Beers and Gins. Try the meat board it's great !

So my wife and I dropped in for a quick lunch , and had the absolute worst . Took about 10 mins for a waiter to come see us. No water served. Food arrived and was good , but I only got my drink after I had finished my food. The bartender was new so it explains the drinks , but at the same time the rest of the staff did nothing to manage the situation or help or even speak to us. Food was amazing , but I won't be going back there
