Comes & Goes

We found out they’ve started offering dinner this week, so had to come try them!nComes & Goes has always been “that place with pretty food and drinks” and the brightly lit environment continued through into the night.nWe shared a variety of the entrees, mains and dessert, and started off with the house-made ice tea & pina colada Mocktail which were both really good and pretty!nThe fish of the day was Tarakihi, and we enjoyed the ceviche which had very beautiful tangy sauce to complete the flavour. It is a bit different compared to other places but we enjoyed this twist.nThey were nice to give us a bit of each sauce to try, and we were very impressed with all the sauces for the fried chicken! The chicken pieces were juicy inside and crunchy on the outside, and all the sauces were really good! Couldn’t really pick a favourite, I was going to go with the yum yum sauce Korean fried chicken sauce but then the Delta sauce a bit like thousand island was quite nice and tangy, and the mustard was quite creamy as well! For something a bit different, you could also try the plum powder I grew up eating this with Taiwanese fried chicken.nThe salad was very pretty, the feta added the needed contrast to the beetroot and worked well together. The pork ribs had a tangy BBQ sauce and were very big!nFor the mains, the steak was cooked medium-rare as requested, and we also were given all 3 sauces - the peppercorn one is very strong in pepper if it’s your type, and the mushroom sauce had a cumin flavour in it, but the red wine jus was just super gooey and was our favourite high recommended! - probably didn’t need the butter de paris with all these sauces but also an option, it has very strong herbs folded in not brave enough to name the herbs out of thin airnWe were impressed with the market fish though! It was pan-fried and fresh, but still soft inside with a slightly crispy layer outside, and that potato puree was so good! We liked everything on this plate, the veges worked well together and this dish was happily devoured.nWe also shared the panna cotta and the matcha creme brulee matcha is everywhere these days I swear! the panna cotta had quite a strong earl grey flavour and the poached pear slices were not soaked in sugar syrup which was refreshing, and the matcha creme brulee was just right, creamy and velvety but the matcha flavour comes through and worked very well - might be a bit too much raspberry sauce on the side but it’s up to you how much you want to add to it!nPetone is brimming with dining options but usually during day time, so now a dinner addition is always a welcome one!

OMGGGG this place is delicious! We came for dinner AND breakfast the next day. All of the kai was so beautifully presented, taste is 12/10 and price was amazing as well. The staff were SO friendly and the atmosphere was awesome. The bibimpab is absolutely incredible, as well as the biscoff waffles !!, civeche was sooo tasty and the ribs were so meaty and cooked to perfection! Well worth eating here :- thanks!!

Delicious food. We went early before it got busy - plenty of tables available. The menu has plenty of options. We got a flat white and an iced Biscoff coffee latte - both great choices! For food, I ordered the breakfast bagel and husband ordered the chicken waffles - both great choices

Disappointed with the cheese scone. Couldn't taste any cheese in it at all. All i tasted was mustard seeds? Why mustard seed in cheese scone? Anyway, coffees were a bit late but it was ok, they were busy. However, the after taste of the coffee is a bit sour to our liking. We didnt try any food that ppl raved about but we won't be coming back.

A fantastic little cafe with delicious food, amazing coffee and service to match. Very busy when we arrived was a bit of a wait to be seated but well worth the wait.nThe food is thoughtfully constructed and clean with exciting flavour bombs and great seasoning. You can feel the care and enthusiasm the staff here have and its refreshing. We can't wait to return and In my opinion one of the top cafes in Wellington. Highly recommend to all.
