Kid friendly restaurant - has a nice play area. Quick service. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. I like the fact that the manager checks up on each table. The menu has loads to offer. Very generous food portions and the food is delicious as well. My coffee milkshake was the best! Keen to try their sushi should I be in Wellington again. This restaurant is worth visiting.

What a disappointing birthday dinner we had!! The chicken schnitzel could have been anything... No taste and watery(and I do not have covid), no vegies in stock at 18h, onion rings no onion but a mash of something? Gecko we want to support the old Gecko not this one!! Service good...

The food was very nice, but the service was poor. Very unfriendly waiter that could not communicate because she could not speak Afrikaans. We waited for more than an hour for our food. The friendly manager came to ask if we were OK and if he hadnt came around, we would have waited longer.

The very first place where i ever ordered food and it tasted a lot better than i even thought it should taste. No doubt in my mind, i will travel from Cape Town just to go and enjoy a meal. The price will make the fuel worth it. Absolutely worth your money.

So having lived in wellington for 6 years, u can safely make the assumption to think that there will only be one or 2 places u can really visit more than once... and u would assume correct....This place is a local. The barman knows your name and service is personal, friendly and fast. Great menu selection including sushi. But pub meals. Daily specials, awesome portion sizes and good value for money. Location not important here, good consistent food, service and ICE COLD beer 🍻 plus value for money and a kids play area.I can definitely recommend 😉👍

We were so surprised by the knowledgeable waitor, good service, relaxed atmosphere and amazing prices, and even more serprized with fantastic sushi, new menu items and never before tasted such great sushi. Other restaurants should take note of a varied menu, not everything needs pork In it, and so well priced.

The staff were very friendly, never had to wait long for attention. Food was fine, ribs overcooked but yummy, chicken schnitzel good but then the calamari was bland.Unfortunately they let people smoke in their no smoking sections, which ruins the place. No point in putting up so many signs and putting us in the non smoking section when everyone is smoking

Gecko Lounge is our second kitchen. We love having a quick meal there. The prices are amazing and the quality always consistent and good. Thank you. We at Wellington Country House always refer our guests there for a meal. They have an outside sitting area with a play pen for kiddies.

Very friendly staff and wonderful service, i would however advise the owner to apply for speed humps in the main road to stop the cars from speeding by. Also maybe some pot plants with creepers in to cover the fence, to give a more cozy feel... But a gr8 place to eat, food was really tasteful.. Keep up the good work guys and gils...

A family restaurant where you can have it all. Ice cold beer, good selection of wine and steak/sirloin/sushi too die for... watch your favourite game on the telly while kids enjoy the jungle gym... or relax in the pub and some ME time.

I had possibly one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten at Gecko Wellington. The crust was baked to crispy perfection and the toppings went right up to the edge. My friend had a double burger topped with sauces which also looked delicious. Patties are thick and juicy and the serving of thick cut freshly fried chips was almost a meal on its own. Both were big meals at a very reasonable price. The place also has a very comfortable atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The service was satisfactory, but could slightly improve. There are enough managers on shift that constantly move between the tables to check if their guests are happy. I have to say Brendan and the team at Gecko Lounge Wellington know what they are doing. I would recommend this for families with kids as well as there is a play area outside. I would definitely go there again to try the rest of the menu.

Review №89

The best place in Wellington to go for a drink, have breakfast lunch and dinner, party at the bar, have dinner with the family and also a bit of gambling... So this place is pretty much an all rounder that caters for everyone which I find very interesting, but quite awesome since its a small town. Theyre food is amazing - full plates of food you wont easily finish and also very delicious. They have a big menu and even sushi. Theyre sushi is GREAT! You can go there and pretty much have anything and it WILL taste great!

Spent the night in Wellington need breakfast for a small group of us. Found Gecko Lounge. Was really hoping for a eggs benedict but not possible on a Sunday at Gecko. How ever they did promise a good breakfast and they delivered on that. Great food and large portions. However work on the coffee guys.

Food was excellent. Very large portions for the price. Only reason why im not giving 5 stars is they were very busy and service was a bit unattended but overall i will definitely visit again
