Wellington restaurant recommendation

Needing something for an anniversary. My first choice was Ortega Fish Shack but it's fully booked.

Any cuisine but needs to be suitable for the occasion (i.e. not Family Restaurant). Wellington CBD but not Courtenay preferred.

So anyone had an outstanding meal out recently?

Havana
Duke Carvells
Apparently the Italian place in Newtown has good reviews.

Pizzeria Napoli is a fave but on Courtenay

One Red Dog on the waterfront does awesome pizzas if that appeals.

Cicio Cacio Osteria Newtown

Best Welly meal I have had in a while was at The Bressolin. South end of Willis.

Great food, impeccable service.

I've heard that the Little Peckish Cafe in the Duke Arcade does a nice cheese roll.

Boulcott Street Bistro.

how did you know i was a southlander?

both havana and duke carvells were my choices but vetoed.

Looks like we'll try Charley-Noble.

Great India, Courtenay Place.

Charley Noble was very good when I went there prior to Christmas. Really enjoy Zibibo on lower Taranaki St and for a tasty bit of Italian fare Zico's on Courtenay Place takes a bit of beating

Zicos closed last year

Shark.... clearly I did not eat there enough.!

Home is best -

what did the other two people have?

So how was your D-Day anniversary dinner then?

Thought Zico went out of business in 1994.

Meh, usual.

The Nixie Chicks ?

Anyone know of an Eastern European restaurant?

After seeing Hungary v Serbia I've got a taste for some goulash ...

And boiled sauages and cabbage?

Plenty of greek and turkish around resturants. 

Although if your thinking eastern block / soviet cuisine then the only place I can think of right now is Armenia on a plate place in capital markets, although its not a resturant. I can't remember the Armenian names that they use but is all pretty much soviet fare (all the really good soviet food came from the caucasus regions). I've had the stuffed cabbage which in russian is called gollubsti. It was really good, the only difference is that it was served with sour cream whereas in Russia the source is carrot and sourcream based.

I want to try the shishlicks (shish kebabs) and blini (savory pancakes) next time.

Edit: Google is your friend, can't vouch for it but this place looks good: http://www.topor.co.nz/menu

I've heard that Little Peckish does good Armenian.

Do they do an Armenian Cheese Roll?

I think that's more popular in Estonia.
