The mothers day Buffet was great as usual. The food selection and deserts were awesome. Very professional and friendly staff. The best place to take mum on mothers day. I will be back next year with Mum again. Thanks

We had my sisters 50th birthday, she booked the room for her buffet breakfast birthday celebration. Everything was on point from the time we walked in to the time we left. The lady at the reception was amazing and so friendly, the room was beautifully set up they way my sister wanted it. Everyone enjoyed the buffet breakfast and the morning celebration as the staff there, made us feel very welcomed and their service was amazing. Thank you so much for your awesome hospitality. You all made my sisters day feel very special.

1st time here. Seems most buffet have not survived covid. Probably the only buffet left in the capital. Personal experience enjoyed the food. Decent variety, won't be everyone's cup of tea. Waiters were awesome, environment subtle and cosy. Felt very welcomed. Good place for a family buffet dinner depending on how busy it gets. Sunday buffet wasn't too busy so food was always plenty and didn't have to wait long to food items to be replaced. Well done James Cook hotel.

Stayed in the hotel and breaky was included. Nice crispy bacon and hashbrowns. Perfect poached eggs from the chef.

We were very excited to go here given the amazing reviews to only be VERY disappointed. The food was the same standard as the pre-cooked meals from new world (at least they come hot). Considering this is the same price as other nice restaurants in Wellington, this is not acceptable. One silver lining - the service was lovely.

When you miss your flight from Hamilton, for being five measly minutes late for stupid check in, then have to sit there with no cafe or bar open while you wait for the next flight to Wellington, arriving at the hotel at like 8.55pm and then break-neck-speeding it to the 17th floor of the James Cook Grand Chancellor before 9.30pm when they stop taking orders, you will be overjoyed to have made it to Whitbys. The service is friendly and relaxed, and super helpful. Don't sit in the breakfast part where the tables have cups and saucers on them! Yes, you can have another glass of rose'! The scallops were perfect, the risotto delicious and the steak just nicely done. Thanks Whitbys. Happy to recommend!

We had booked our table in advance (I would absolutely recommend doing this). Buffet-style meal. Very busy restaurant but there was plenty of food to go around and it was replenished quickly by kitchen staff. As the restaurant is so popular, we had to queue up to select the foods we wanted but the quality of the food was excellent. The waiting staff were very polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend to others!
