Information may change
Information accuracy and availability
We aim to present useful and current information, but menu details, dishes, seasonal ingredients, opening information and other website content may change.

Restaurant information and bookings
2.1
Restaurant information
Restaurant information
This website may describe Taste & Plate as a Wellington restaurant and may present contemporary New Zealand cuisine, menu ideas, signature dishes, kitchen activity and interior atmosphere for general information. References to seasonal produce, seafood, meat, vegetable dishes, desserts or individual plates are illustrative of the restaurant’s content and may change with seasonality, supply and day-to-day operations. Website material is not a promise that a particular dish, ingredient or experience will be available at a particular time.
2.2
Bookings and venue instructions
Where Taste & Plate provides booking details, confirmations, cancellation information, arrival guidance or venue instructions, you must review and follow the information supplied for that particular arrangement. Those details may be communicated separately from these general terms and may apply only where relevant. If a booking-related instruction is provided, it should be read carefully before attending or making decisions based on the arrangement.
2.3
Responsible conduct at the venue
Guests are expected to act lawfully and respectfully toward staff, other guests and the venue. When visiting, please follow reasonable directions communicated on site for safety, service and orderly operation. This expectation supports a considered hospitality environment and applies independently of any specific on-site directions that may be given in relation to a dining arrangement or other venue activity.

Website text, photographs, design elements, graphics, names and other original Taste & Plate content may be protected by intellectual-property rights.

Use of the Taste & Plate name or associated brand material must not imply endorsement, affiliation or sponsorship without permission. Please do not present website material in a way that could reasonably suggest a relationship with Taste & Plate where no permission has been given.

External links may be provided for convenience. Taste & Plate does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, availability or practices. If you choose to visit an external website, review its own terms and privacy information where relevant.

04
Physical casino room
4.1
A real, on-site experience
Any casino reference on the Taste & Plate website concerns a real physical casino room associated with the venue experience. It describes an on-site setting where adult guests participate face-to-face. The restaurant and dining experience remain the broader context for the website. Nothing on this website offers, operates or represents online, virtual or remote casino play, and it should not be understood as providing a digital gambling service.
4.2
Table games and on-site directions
References to poker, roulette and blackjack relate to physical tables, dealers, real playing cards and neutral chips in the venue context. They do not promise the availability of a particular game or table at a particular time. Guests must follow applicable on-site rules, staff directions and legal requirements communicated at the time. This wording is intended to describe a face-to-face venue feature, not to provide game rules, remote participation or account-based access.
4.3
No online gambling service
No part of this website should be understood as inviting or enabling online gambling, remote participation, account creation or online wagering. The casino is a physical, face-to-face venue feature only. Questions about this distinction or these terms can be directed to Taste & Plate using the contact details below.
Website information is not an invitation to take part in remote or virtual gambling.
05
