Not my kind of place. The bar / tavern had screaming, loud customers on a day when there was no one around. Really a tasting menu, teen plate, teen servings, bad value for money. The waitress told me that the green peppers in my clam chowder were mild - they weren't and had to spit out with a burning mouth. Really embarrassing when I was treated. Instead, they gave me asparagus. Your only vegetable. They didn't notice that my water glass was empty and I had to request it. Backless benches to sit in the tavern / bar, but you can request an uncomfortable chair. Not a place where you, like me, eat a lot of healthy protein and vegetables. I don't like leaving a restaurant where I feel bloated wi...
Between NCAA Regional Hockey games we ventured out for lunch. While an uphill hike, Wellington's is worth the trek. A very creamy and tasty carrot soup eased our chill. Their Capitol Burger was sizeable and cooked to order, medium. The smoked onion mayo was a pleasant change from the usual ketchup. A mound of nicely cooked fries completed the classic combo. The lightly dressed ?W? Caesar was a pile of romaine, radicchio, parmesan crisps and roasted garlic croutons. Theshow stopper was their rich pecan caramel fudge coated NY style cheesecake. My bourbon and honey laden Mighty Leaf black tea played well with dessert and finished an excellent lunch.
The taste of the food was between ok and good, nothing special. I had higher expectations after seeing reviews. I ordered a pasta dish with sausage. I guess pasta, sauce and sausage are homemade, but I was disappointed when the dish arrived with 3 small bites of sausage. I ordered a cocktail that arrived weak and mostly with ice in the shape of a juice glass. When the waitress noticed that I drank it in a few sips, I asked for another one, but without ice. What I got was an 8 ounce glass of milk with a dash of Kahlua in it. No way to impress. I just wanted a good drink.
4 plates divided. Scallops cooked perfectly, sauce not very aromatic, chased the small amount of peas around the plate. Beet platter was good. Tuna poke had strings of supposedly kelp salad, fries were sparse and not wasabi powder. If more chips were requested, the answer was "not sure but will be checked". Return with 4 chips. It seemed rather strange that the smoked bluefish and avocado toast was served with bluefish on one toast and avocado on the other.

I like the atmosphere. Very loud on a Saturday evening. The portions were small. I had the cod. It was delicious, but small. After dinner we sat outside by the fireplace. Very cozy and relaxing.
Amazing experience from the staff, ambience and the food was thoughtful, fresh, inventive and I want to go back for the vegetable gnocchi immediately.
It was wonderful! Great service, friendly atmosphere in a semi formal space and incredibly tasty (and creative but not beyond) food!
Wellingtons is a beautifully styled restaurantA real treat especially if you consider that it's in a hotel.
