M.

The restaurant and atmosphere is lovely. Food delicious, I had the salmon which was perfect.

R.

Good service, good view , good location. The food was alright, but I think the chef used microwave for some cooking 😏

D.

Great welcome as soon as we walked in. Warm interior, lovely staff, comfortable stylish furnishings and decor. Beautiful views of the lake. Tried the advertised Cassels beef stew and potato mash, it was the perfect meal for a nippy day of wandering the Old Precinct. Ordered an Oat milk Chai to go and it was excellent too. Bathroom wallpaper very cool too. We will definitely be back!

J.

WOW the food was absolutely amazing, One of the best Sticky date puddings I have had in NZ so far!! Staff were extremely nice and friendly. Would happily visit again. Thanks.

One of the finer cafe-restaurants in Cromwell. Set in a 19th century-style stone building, it gives a hearty nod to the town’s rich history in its days of old. Rustic flare meets upscale bistro style at this modern eatery with an old-world feel. Artisanal fusion menu featuring a high turnover of fresh, locally sourced ingredients with continental inspiration, prepared to a gourmet standard. Service is top notch — the duty manager, Kira, is a delight. Her deep knowledge and professional demeanor only enrich the whole experience. And with stunning waterfront views over Lake Dunstan, The Office really ticks all the right boxes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to friends, family, colleagues or anyone passing through the area.

J.

Nice atmosphere here. The staff are friendly we had some delicious nibbles and a cocktail or two.

L.

From beginning to end our visit was a pleasurable experience.... Friendly and knowledgeable wait staff, warm pleasant atmosphere. We tried a wide variety of menu options from starters to desserts, and each course was as good as the last. Will definitely visit again.

K.

Great spot for delicious food, stunning views and lovely wine list! Maitre-D is a passionate local with lots of helpful and informed stories. Worth stopping in! Sharing plate style menu worked so well for us to enjoy fresh flavors.

M.

Excellent service. Very tasty food. Highly recommended. Try the Mead. Bonus... Dog friendly.

E.

Came for dinner while down in Cromwell and I would say even though I havent been anywhere else for dinner in the area yet, that this was the best meal in Cromwell! We shared stuffed Mushrooms, Pea, Mint and Feta fritters, Salmon with Israeli Couscous and a winter Crumble to top it off!! A Wellingtonian could not reccomend enough :)

C.

Gorgeous place for a sundowner. Sadly we didn't stop for dinner - the tapas menu looked amazing. Friendly staff and a lot of specials.

B.

Awesome service food was unbelievable very nice worth a visit

D.

B.

J.

Pineapple Lump Cocktails amazing. Food and service top notch. A lovely relaxed venue. We will be definitely back.

L.

This a nice place well located in the picturesque old Cromwell. Food menu is efficient and they have Poutine which works well on cold winter nights. Beer on tap, cocktails and wine by the glass. The selection is small but you can find your way. Happy hour on everyday which is a plus!

F.

The location whilst known on the tourist trail is a bit out of the way on a cold winter night. But get there early enough to watch the ducks on the lake as the sun goes down and enjoy the warm cosy atmosphere and punchy cocktails. The burgers were delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

J.

Lot's of menu offerings, friendly staff, lake side dining

S.

Great food and wine. Barwoman very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful location.

B.

Great food in a fabulous spot. Thanks for a great meal!!!

G.

I ordered the beef brisket sandwich - absolutely delicious! The best I've tasted, they just need to put it on a bigger plate. Friendly and attentive service as well. I wish that I lived closer so I could eat here regularly!

K.

Lovely quiet coffee with great view of the lake. Highly recommended

G.

Had overlooked this place last time in Cromwell, as lower part of the street, but noticed people sitting outside having so craft beers so stopped off for coffee and a light snack (a platter). The platter was huge, with great selection of cheese, bread, dips and fruits etc. We ended up having a second coffee each & having a long leisurely lunch. Friendly staff, good food and coffee etc so highly recommend

T.

Our group had Dinner one night during our 4x4 trip It was very pleasant. We had shared Plates. There was plenty of food. The Meal was something different. Worth visiting.

s.

J.

Awesome place for a Friday night beer! (The food is great too!)

J.

Fantastic cocktails, great service and the most beautiful of views. Can't wait to get back to try their brunch menu!

C.

What a find! I have been rather negative about Cromwell's food and beverage offerings until I found the Office yesterday. Due to high winds and it being 4pm, the old precinct was like a quintessential ghost town, including the tumbleweed! It appeared from the outset that NOTHING was open till I peeked in the window of 'The Office' Firstly the staff were just delightful! The craft beer from Wanaka was cracker (I chose a session beer called Cragg Dog which is now my new favourite session beer at 4.5%). The Menu was clearly created by a chef that knows their stuff but also knows what will spin the wheels of its customers. We were too early for the dinner menu but the Poutine was the best I've eaten (although I've never been to Canada!) I can't wait to come back with a group and sit in for an evening. lastly, the menu pricing was very reasonable, looks like the best deal in Central Otago.

K.

Good food with good staff waiting on you

N.

Rib eye stake was chewy not medium rare as requested an lacking a little on volume for $30 tasted amazing though..

Great food and service from a very polite young man. He even gave water and chatted to my dog. I will come back again when back in Cromwell.

A.

Me and my Girlfriend had the goat cheese panacotta which was listed under "bigger meals" for 24$ each. It should have been listed under "starters" for a lower price though. - Location is nice - Quality of the food we had was alright - Value for money didn't felt right We went to a more busy restaurant in town center afterwards for our second dinner.

J.

Love the fresh tasty food. Wine choices outstanding. The humour, knowledge, care and understanding of the owner was the best. Go.

D.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here today - soup of the day and an amazing gourmet hamburger. The decor complemented the beautiful views out the windows. Would return again if we could.

(Translated) Nice and service-oriented operation. Highly recommend one visit to this place. The whole old town is cozy and well worth a visit. (Original) Hyggelig og serviceinnstilt betjening. Anbefaler ett besøk på dette stedet. Hele gamlebyen er koselig og vell verd ett besøk.
