5 of us dined at the Grand, Courtenay Place on 11 August 2011 using 2 Spreets Vouchers that entitled us to any four mains and four house drinks. At the time of booking and as stated on the voucher, I advised the staff member we were using the Spreets voucher and upon arrival we also presented them to the wait staff. We were advised that it will only need to be presented when paying. My partner asked the wait staff what their House drinks included and the waitress listed a number of tap beer and informed us the juices were also included. When it came time to settling the bill we were charged for the tap beer and juices. When querying this with the Manager who had processed our bill, she informed me that the beer and juices were not classified as 'house drinks'. I explained the situation of how we were informed by the wait staff these drinks were included as a house drink. The Manager acknowledged the error but was not prepared to rectify the issue and refund the money for the drinks. She offered to provide me with another 3 glasses of wines, of which I informed her was a ridiculous offer considering I was the driver that night (and the other diners were at the next restaurant for dessert). This did not promote responsible host management. After repeatedly informing her that if we were provided with the correct information in the first instance we would not have ordered the beer and the juices. In front of an audience of customers, the Manager (in a fury state) opened the till and refunded money only for the 2 glasses of juices. She was not willing to refund the money for the beer and I allowed her the opportunity to resolve this problem as we would have liked to return for another meal in the future. I informed her that as this is unacceptable and has presented us with a negative experience, we will advise all our friends, family and work mates not to dine at the Grand. The Manager's response was 'That is fine'. It is a shame the Manager did not consider what the consequences were especially when the actual costs of one beer would have been next to nothing. Instead this has cost them repeated business not only from us but business from people we share this experience with.

Really nice food, wine and service. The waiter was really attentive and friendly. Awesome atmosphere as well. Recommend to all, but maybe for a fancy occasion, quite expensive (but certainly worth it)

Highly recommend their duck degustation menu with accompanying wines - sublime! Old character cottage, excellent service and the best duck confit w haricot vert in Wellington. Aim to be back very soon.

Probably one of the best sea views in Wellington, a lovely setting, excellent service and really good food at a n incredibly reasonable price. The staff was friendly and helpful to us and our little one from the very beginning. The fish was beautifully done with a yummy creamy sauce and the beef was impossibly tender, cooked to absolute perfection. The salad bar is well stocked with much more than you would normally expect -hot and cold starters, as much as you can eat. Great for the kids and excellent quality for the bigger ones. We'll be sure to return upon our next visit.

I have now been here twice, and both meals were faultless. The service is excellent and the setting cosy (quite cosy - but it's a bistro so that's to be expected!). I wouldn't hesitate to go back again. The meats here are generously portioned, melt in your mouth and are cooked to absolute perfection - it's not often that a medium rare steak is just that.

Most hotel restaurants have a somewhat clinical feel about them, but not The Chameleon. Service is crisp, prices are upper quartile, but still represent value, and the food is excellent. The lamb shanks are to be recommended if they're on the menu.

Have been here several times for dinner and every time we have been extremely happy with the food, service and atmosphere. The food is quick to come out and very very tasty. the service is always good, the staff make sure you are ok, have enough to drink and always check how the meals are. would definately recommend everyone try this place if you like mexican!!
