This was my first time to Gotham and I have to say I was unimpressed, Firstly the menu is very small and when I asked the waiter for an opinion on one of the dishes it was described as “fun” In my opinion this is not a good way to describe food as everyone’s connotation of fun is quite different. I went for the soup of the day which was served luke warm and lumpy, the toast was good but served with no butter to accompany it. The side order of chips my friend bought were hot though, but how hard is precooked chips to prepare?

Gotham is my favourite place to enjoy a relaxed dinner.
The dinner menu and wine list are both have plenty of quality options.
Meals are served promptly, good sized portions and colourful presentation, and the food is delicious! The fries are possibly the best ever! I have also really enjoyed the chicken and the steak.
The atmosphere is upbeat yet comfortable and the staff are attentive, friendly and good for a laugh.

Thankfully we came upon Gotham after I had suggested to my wife that there weren’t any cafes in the area. Our experience began with a most pleasant welcome from the table d’hote with a wine recommendation. The Domain Road Riesling with the salmon dish I chose was a great combination. My wife selected the Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to accompany her most enjoyable rib-eye steak. All in all our restaurant visit was one to be be long remembered for the best of reasons. We now know that there is this very special eating place in Wellington Central.
Gotham has a great reputation and I have to agree with all that’s been said. It’s always a pleasure to come across staff who enjoy what they do and each other’s company; their humour at the till certainly put a smile on patrons’ faces. The coffee (Havana) is good and strong and there is a wide selection of counter food available, even later in the afternoon. I enjoyed a lemon and poppyseed muffin with my latte. The decor is funky and the selection of 70s and 80s rock and disco music playing makes Gotham a real pick-me-up spot.
Outstanding coffee matched by the service.
Good place to take older (8 years up) children, they “get” the dark atmosphere as something different without it being too over the top.
Gotham has become the “special treat” place in Wellingtons CBD for our family outings.

Gotham is absolutely fabulous. A great atmosphere with happy and helpful staff who believe in what they’re selling. Delicious menu with a wide range of breakfast and lunch options, but each just seems to have something a little different added into the mix. Tucked away in little old Chews Lane, there has to be a reason why every time I pop in it’s always buzzing.

I’ve always enjoyed Gotham in the past, but had a pretty awful experience there today. I’d ordered the fish, which I’d noted came with tartare sauce but as this is always in a dish on the side, didn’t think anything of it.
When my meal came out, the fish was smothered in tartare. I’m not able to eat tartare sauce (I’m pregnant), so explained this to the waiter and asked if it would be possible to have it without the tartare. He went off to the kitchen, and a few minutes later the maitre’d came out, and told me that they could make it again for me, but the chef had instructed that I’d have to be charged a second time for the meal. I said I was surprised, and that tartare usually came on the side, and she told me that all sauces come over the meal (although somehow the aioli and tomato sauce with our chips were both on the side!). I told them I’d really like the meal, but that I wasn’t prepared to pay for it twice. I eventually got a refund, but thought that this was very odd customer service.
If you don’t want the sauce at Gotham, or want it on the side, tell them! – apparently there’s no second chances!

Great cafe which provides a funky, classy environment, great food at very resonable prices and a team of very friendly staff
After going there once, I promptly made it my ‘usual’ place for lunch and eat there at least once a week.
I highly recommend the gotham fries…amazing!
