absolutely yuck......no sign telling us we would have to pay an xtra 15% on top of the price because it was the day after boxing day..............the plates were three quarters full of greasy chips........... the bread was stale, not good value for money at all...if I had wanted a plate of chips, I would have gone to the local fishnchip shop..............the chips were covered in a spice that was unbearably hot and spicey...........I left with my family feeling "ripped off"...and will not return........oh by the way.....we were the only people in there.

The restaurant advertised is in Wellington. I can't find one in Hamilton???

We walked in at 5:00 and asked for a table inside and were told they had a group coming in later (7:00) and that only a few tables were available. He then walked over to a lady seated at a table and I can only presume asked her how long she would be then asked us to have a seat at the bar until she left a few minutes later.
We ordered "quickly", but when I ordered steak medium-well I was told that steaks cooked that way take 40 minutes (hint hint). I changed my order and we continued on.
Throw in a forgotten drink order, below-average food, and an incorrect bill and it all adds up to a recommendation to eat elsewhere.

Its funny how people have different experiences at the same resaurants. I went with five other people and we all enjoyed our time there.OK its not fine dinning but it is half resaurant half nightclub it does justice to both sides

So the questions are Gary:

• Would you have posted here if you had not seen the negative review?
• Did the negative review spur you on to add your own review?
• Should I have deleted the negative review? (Note: I VERY seldom delete reviews, and don't even like deleting them when asked by the restaurant directly)

And for anyone else reading this thread:

• have the reviews put you off going here?
• or have the reviews given you the incentive to go to Coyote and see for yourself

Interesting questions, would love to hear from you.

I like to ask around before trying any new restaurant being fully aware I will get a different response depending on who i'm asking. It usually takes a hundred percent negative comments before i'm put off trying for myself. As for reviewing I write about what I experience and am not drawn into balancing anyone else's reviews.
Please do not remove any bad reviews as this would defeat the purpose.
