Nice experience, food was OK, will not do the spring special again. Would have been more impressed if we got less food but better quality food. Staff was really helpful and always around when needed.

So happy i found this place. Looked it up online and made a reservation. Glad i did. Was packed when i arrived (on a Monday evening). Totally worth the visit - super awesome friendly staff, excellent food, great drink menu. Perfect ending to my first night in Wellington. Love the atmosphere and art deco architecture and design.

I’m confused.I don’t really know what to make of my St Johns experience.I’ve been visiting Wellington on a frequent basis for the last 7 years or so. St Johns always looks like a fun time and I wanted in on it. It was one of those primo days in Wellington, barely a breeze with a bright wintery sun. A couple of the coveted outside tables were available but there was no table service and I was alone, my friend having been delayed. I ventured to the bar and ordered a whiskey and dry and a Bloody Mary. I was given the whiskey and dry and a table number and told the Bloody Mary would come out. The table was filthy and having seen customers told to fetch their own cutlery etc I was too intimidated to ask for it to be wiped. So I sat at my filthy table waiting for my drink. And waiting. I killed some time by fetching some napkins and trying to wipe the table. In the end I got up and asked if my drink was coming and was assured it was. And it did. Eventually. After my friend arrived a table in the sun became available so we moved to that. Complete with the previous people’s plates and glasses that weren’t cleared until we asked. It occurred to me then that the staff are perhaps ornamental. Although in fairness one English guy seemed pretty friendly and on to it, he was the exception.The food was ok. The fries were cold. The chicken was a bit dry, but I quite like that because I’m weird. The burger was small but juicy. The charcuterie board was big, good value, but clearly there were olives that needed eating up and we got them all.I had high hopes for St John’s, but I think it’s just a little sad, in need of some tender loving care. Maybe the staff too. We all need a bit of love bombing once in a while, St John’s is no exception.

Cannot recommend St John’s enough, food was impeccable and service was above and beyond what was expected. I dropped my phone behind a booth and the staff and manager did everything they could to help get it out. Will be back again!

We ordered 3 different meals between us and all were a disappointment.The Wagyu Burger had little taste and the meat was described as dry. The Vegan Gluten free burger bun tasted stale and very dry. The Chicken Caesar had a ridiculous amount of mayonnaise smothered in the lettuce, so much so it was not edible, and the chicken was tasteless, with no seasoning accept perhaps salt.The bathrooms were disgusting. We were there only an hour after opening. The women’s toilets had many broken lights, making it dark and dingy. The end toilet cubicle had brown slug dripping from the wall to the floor. Highly unpleasant.The staff were attentive and friendly.

My family held a special birthday party at St John's and couldn't have been happier with how well we were looked after. In particular, Ashleigh and Jasper made us feel so welcome and catered for our every need. The food was amazing! Highly recommended for that special occasion.

This was totally an unplanned stop as I was walking from Te Papa to the cable car and thought it was time for lunch. Whipped out the phone and saw this just a few steps away (literally) and did a quick check on their menu and before I knew it, I was inside making an order.The Salt and Pepper Calamari was cooked to perfection and I liked that it came with 2 drinks, an alcoholic one and a non alcoholic one. There's even an option to hold the alcoholic drink till after work!

Good food, tasty rump steak cooked well but would have liked a side of chips as an option (served with purple kumara) like market fish. Note: if you wish to split the bill, dont order via qr code in table. Not much of a wait for service. Great location
