R. G.

A great experience here with a gorgeous view of the mountains and seas. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather and fresh air. The food was good so was the atmosphere of the restaurant. Inca, our waitress, is a real asset of the restaurant. She was really friendly and accommodating, making us feel very welcomed.

E.

A fantastic experience for both breakfast and dinner. Even with the limited menu on offer, there was still plenty to choose from and to enjoy. The staff were absolutely fabulous, they were engaging, entertaining and truly made our experience feel unique. What is a holiday without a cheeky breakfast mimosa?

M. M.

Loved the view! Staff are lovely , I was asked what level of spice for my Bloody Mary, asked for 7 /10 and it was perfect, with fresh squeezed tomato juice and trimmings. Minute steak, bernaise sauce, fried egg and potato was perfect..forgot to take photo at start, it was so good !! Great way to start the day!!

M. F.

Stayed at the lake view one bed room for my birthday. One of the most iconic and prestigious hotel in Queenstown. The room was amazing with full view of lake Wakatipu. Pre dinner drinks were included upon arrival. Breakfast were also included the next day. Had such a great time in the hotel.

J.

I wish they would bring back the eggs Benedict (on crunchy bread) onto the breakfast menu. It was easily the best breakfast I’ve ever had. James Ashwin

L. R.

Amazing views, excellent service, great wine list and fabulous food.

T. M.

Beautiful food, simple food done well with quality ingredients. I was very lucky and fortunate to dine in on the night that was for hotel guests only. Service was superb and amazing, out waiter was very knowledgeable and had recommended the most amazing of course NZ Otago Pinot. Will definitely come back again. Do also try their bloody Mary too, you'll be amazed. Tina May IG: justme.and.life NZGIRLS.CO.NZ

L. P.

Great service, make sure to try the seafood chowder!

E. F.

Fantastic view as we went early and managed to get a window table. Fries are thin and really tasty. Recommend the grilled octopus but my partners steak was a 7/10. Our waitress was really nice, but the Maître d when we first arrived was a little arrogant for a empty restaurant.

M. L.

Had breakfast here, thoroughly impressed with service and location. Location is exceptional if you want view of the lake without being outside. The French Toast and Fruit was really yummy and the coffee brewed perfectly. Would recommend.

I. K.

Oh, such an amazing dinner for our New Years Eve celebration. The food is delicious. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my weird detailed questions. Had a little flashback to my childhood as the merengue dessert was of the exact same taste as my amazing grandma used to make each new years Eve ( Russian dessert) . Very happy. Best place to watch fireworks too so highly recommend it .

J. W.

An excellent dining experience at The Grille on a Friday night. I recommend booking as it is a popular restaurant and for good reason! Their seafood chowder is We sat down on one of the sofa seat and were greeted by a bubbly waitress with an American accent. she was friendly, witty and just the right amount of attentiveness. The food was also terrific starting with a creamy seafood chowder packed with flavour, then my wife had the smoked monk fish while I had the scotch with a peppercorn sauce and a side of charred broccolini. The fish and scotch were cooked to perfection and mash was velvety tied together with a delicious sauce. We were rather full by then so we opted to share a hot chocolate with bailey, and it was so good and a great way to finish the meal. Great food, top service and a view to die for, what more can you ask for.

M. M.

Good service, coffee was OK but prefer a stronger brew. Had the blossom and the savoury waffle both were delicious.

M. S.

The steak was perfectly cooked. The staff were most attentive. The oysters were delicious. The sommelier was very professional

J. H.

We had a special dinner at The Grille by Eichardt’s. Good food and quality wine went well together. Also, lovely services from all staffs and very nice advices from them 👍🏻 Thank you ~

E. H.

Best steakhouse in Queenstown. Aged stripe beef steak, seafood chowder with wakame (seaweed) and scallops were my favorites. Friendly staff too.

T. F.

Good food, great service, but a double door would definitely come In handy.... each time someone came in I froze. One other thing that caught my attention was that they serve both beer and wine directly in the glass, they don’t serve it at the table from the bottle so that you can see the bottle, etc. For me that is a must in any restaurant, specially where you pay over 70euros per person for dinner.

D. G.

Love having Breakfast here every morning. Stay at The Spire and this could be You. Nb Dinner was great too, the Pàtè was amazing

N.

Had a nice coffee with a view and some eggs Benny.

J. P.

Great view right in front of the lake, plenty of parking around. The food was fantastic especially the seafood chowder. What really stood out to me were the staff. I know it's not for everyone but they were engaging, friendly and helpful. They looked like they were having a good time and wanted to be there, it added to my overall enjoyment.

R. L.

Great service and beautiful food.

C. R.

A good place to start your visit to Queenstown as this restaurant is located right in the city with a best view of the Wakatipu lakefront. They served high quality grilled meats, and you must try the lamp & beef!

S. N.

I've read some dodgy reviews about customer service but my experience was outstanding. Of course we went to have a late lunch at 2:00 and it was very quiet. Still, the wagyu burger was outstanding with lots of little extras you won't get many other places. Homemade tomato sauce and mayonnaise, and smokey harvati really brought my meal home. Delicious.

L. C.

Well located, stunning views. I arrived after 4pm, when they are usually close. But I could come in, and it was great. I asked a steak medium cooked and come brown. Payed for the place, not for the food. Maybe I can came back and be more specific, telling medium has to have a little red in the middle. 😊

N. C.

The Grille has one of the best views from Queenstown looking out over the harbour onto the mountains. The food here is excellent. We tried the duck for entree, we both had a steak which is a must at a place called "The Grille" and it was cooked to perfection. We finished with the taurine for desert which was just delightful. The grille is a 5 star dining venue, but i can only award 4 becuase of the service. Our waiters were excellent but their was some delays and miscommunications in getting our meals brought out and our drink orders going in. The ambiance is light and relaxed and makes it great for a quiet date or a group of friends celebrating another great day on the slopes.

J. N.

The drinks was generous as they give us hot water including lemon, the food is ok but they could make the portion more bigger even tho the size looks average.The service was very good.Except the food wasn’t the best.

T. (.

Beautiful view of lake although very dark inside. Seafood chowder and salad was delicious. Good wine selection. Service was prompt just didn't feel overly inviting the energy was a bit off just thought could be reflection of current Queenstown morale.

R. C.

Food was great, but host no really nice, she telling us two hours can eating, we can understand this restaurant was very popular and busy all the time, but they very rushing for everything, uncomfortable!! I am feel spent money by have to rush finished dinner.

C. C. S.

Lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff to complement the delicious food. I try to come here every time I’m in Queenstown for their famous chowder and it’s never disappointed me :)

C. B.

Stunning food and cocktails. The calamari squid ink tempura is not to be missed. This would have been a 5 star review apart from the request for a tip on the bill. NZ is not a tipping culture, instead employees are paid and treated properly by their employers. Please let's not seen our culture eroded by unsavory foriegn practices.

T. T. L.

Incredible lakefront views. The Staff were very attentive and gave great recommendations. Special shout-out to Alex who ensured we were well looked after. Highly suggest the Seafood Chowder.

K. M.

Great service, waiter was super friendly and attentive. Food was pretty good. The chowder was the highlight but my steak was a bit over from what I ordered. Also had to wait a fair amount of time for food. The dessert tasting board was delicious with a sticky date whiskey pudding.

i. s.

Mains were amazing. Quality of food was fabulous service was horrible. I am baffled as to why someone would ruin customer experience by hiring such ill trained staff. The staff serving our table was an injustice to the wonderful food and setting. The experience could have been so much better if the service staff were a bit more courteous.

J. V.

We came here for lunch- we were greeted by lovely staff and had shrimp cocktail, lobster vol au vent and a salad- incredible! Everything was so well balanced and flavourful, even the nicoise salad was one of the best one i’ve had (the last one i had was in france, stakes were high!). We will be back, thank you so much for such a lovely experience.

d. r.

Had a beautiful shared dinner, consisting of: Pork ribs - juicy and tore off the bone! Mash potatoes- nice and fluffy Scallops- beautiful and soft salty taste Prawns- unique Asian Style Seafood chowder - amazing. You can't go wrong here.

A.

Five stars dinning along Marine Parade, Queenstown facing the beautiful Lake Wakatipu. Nice ambience and service, ordered a 1.5 Kg fabulous and delicious Tomahawk steak.

B. H.

Superb food served by experienced and attentive staff make for a wonderful breakfast location overlooking Queenstown Lake.

T. H.

One of the best restaurants in Queenstown, food is amazing

C.

Amazing food, service was excellent. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

G. C.

Great staff and great food. None of our sides turned up until we were 3/4 thru our mains, told there was no charge for the sides but they still didnt all turn up.

J. T.

Breakfast with a view! If you can, book ahead to try and get a seat right at the window overlooking lake Wakatipu. Coffee was very strong so order a half strength if you prefer a weaker coffee. We had the bacon and poached eggs, and the spicy chorizo eggs. The bacon and poached eggs were a classic done well, however the spicy chorizo was a little underwhelming and the potato hash wasn’t crispy as described.

K.

Great table by the window, excellent service, the waiter that looked after us was from Netherlands and had very good knowledge of menu. My first bluff oysters and they wre good. Would recommend as a must do.

S.

Fantastic food and great service.

W.

Good ambience, good service but a lack of variety in menu.

S.

Stunning views for our breakfast! Food was yummy, although the coffee wasn’t great. Reasonably priced considering the good level of service, food presentation, and overall experience ☺️

B. S.

Best piece of steak of my life. Had the 1.2kg tomahawke shared between two people absolutely amazing and the service was fantsstic aswell. 10/10 wiuld recomend

J. L.

Best dinner in Queenstown. Excellent service. Delicious food and a perfect view

T.

Seated at the window with a bottle of wine is just a beautiful setting that wife and I loved. Staff were friendly, food was prompt, great selection of wines.

C. R.

Little disappointed with our meal my husband had the ribs they needed to be more caramelized I had the fish it wasn't good had a raw texture. Oysters were amazing. Friendly wait staff.

J. A.

Delicious food and our waiter was lovely

T. M.

Great atmosphere, very cool styling. Amazing food. We went back again 2 nights later we loved it so much.

M.

Lovely restaurant. Exceptional service. We had a child with us and they catered for her really well. Food was great too. Steak was cook well and the blue cheese butter was delicious. The potatoes were a little on the dry side for my liking but overall, I recommend!

C.

Great food, great view. Friendly service

B. G.

Much better than expected. Fantastic location and good menu with all the standard options ( fish, steak, vegetarian). The flavours were outstanding, no short cuts by the chef. We had great service, very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Seafood chowder is indeed legendary, and we also recommend the dessert!

T. J. S. Y.

Amazing location with an amazing view that adds to the restaurant's incredible atmosphere. Food is excellent. Especially enjoyed their dry-aged eye fillet. And their seafood chowder is to die for. Service staff were pleasant and helpful. They took time to explain everything very well, they were accommodating, and they were always very tactful. All-around a fantastic experience and I can definitely say that I will be making return visits to The Grille whenever I am in the area.

A. L.

The lamb rump is amazing!! And the mashed potato on the side is unbeatable!!! great wine paired with the meat as well. Thanks for the lovely service, Luke was taking care of us so well. Not to mention the great view in the restaurant, and we could see the sun set!

S. A.

Came here for dinner for our Shockshop conference. Brought my family with 2 young kids. The staff were exceptional, welcomed and entertained our kids so we could have a good time. The food was excellent. If there was such thing as more than 5 Stars we would rate it as that.

K. H.

Didn't live up to expectations. Following dinning at six other top Queenstown venues this week. The 3 scallops for a starter were very tasty. Despite ordering a vegtable main to accompany our steak and potatoes. We ended up with no green vegetables that were sorely missed. Yes the tempura battered spaghetti squash was yummy but adding this to buttercup and another type of potatoe was rather limited. Too many carbs for me. The Eye fillet was better than the Scotch but the Pinot jus was too strong and killed the meal if poored all over the steak as I did then regretted. Bread starter we would have loved a drizzle of balsamic in the olive oil and garlic in the rock hard butter or even a small portion of minced sun-dried tomatoes to make the starter top knotch.

T. B.

Brilliant ambiegnce, stunning view of the lake, amazing food. A groyup of 16 people arrived at 8pm. We were greeted with great banter and smiles. Only 2 negatives, 1 person in our group didn't get their order until almost at the end of all the other mains had been eaten and they ran out of greens! Have always wanted to come dine here, with its dining views, it is a classy establishment. Will definitely come again.

E.

We've been talking about going back to the Grille for ages and it didn't disappoint. The food, service and drinks were all superb. I'd say the view from the restaurant across the lake is the best restaurant view in queenstown hands down. We look forward to our next visit.

L. V.

Had a lovely meal here tonight. Great menu and a good selection of wines. Chef friends from the UK were impressed! Our waitress Anna was brilliant. Very happy to recommend.

R.

We loved our meal,.very tasty and the service couldn't be faulted. We weren't rushed into the next course and ate our meal at a leisurely pace. Would definitely go back.

D.

Didn't eat there, but the staff were excellent even though they knew we were eating elsewhere. I'll go back there now. Had to give them full marks for that. Word on the street suggests the food is excellent.

S. J. (.

I definitely recommend you to visit this wonderful place. Especially , oysters !! You should eat dozen cuz I ordered six pieces twice 😄

T. C.

Overall food and wine were good and we enjoyed our time at Grille. Seafood chowder was a stand out and the steaks were cooked perfectly. Service could have been slightly more attentive.

Q.

great service, super friendly and awesome food with a lovely view outside and great atmosphere

J. &. J. T.

Brilliant, great menu and superb location, staff were really friendly and helped suggest some choices which were perfect. Well done!

L.

After walking the streets we found this gem on the waterfront. Fine dining at a reasonable price excellent service & food

D.

Good atmosphere and food. Excellent service

N.

Dinner was delicious and service great. Great views over the lake if you secure one of the small tables by the windows. Table layout felt a bit cafeteria/diner-like which I wasn’t a huge fan of.

M. J.

well rounded food choices, a bit pricey. seemed heavy on the sauces but overall good. nice view over lake

M. K.

I was excited to finally get to eat here after having heard pretty mixed reviews. Locations can’t be beat with sweeping views of the lake and mountains. Grab a window seat for epic people watching. Service can’t be faulted, though we ate early before the crowds. Salmon and duck starters were very small but beautifully presented and full of flavour. My main of the pork belly was 5/5 and a very generous portion (no need for sides though they’ll try to up sell you.). Wife had the pansisse which sounded lovely on the menu but was way over seasoned and very filling. 2/5. Rounded up to 4/5 for the great service and location. Would definitely return.

D. R.

Absolutely incredible, the best prawns and ribs anywhere in the world. Plus the fish of the day was to die for!!! Not to mention the exceptional service from our waiter Luke, and the amazing view of the lake. Certainly will be back many more times!!!

K.

We ordered a burger, a steak, a few sides and the the creme brulee. The food was nice but very pricey for what you got. The steak was cooked perfectally (med rear) the burger had good flavour, the views are to die for and the service was wonderful

D. M.

Perfect spot to relax over lunch with a glass of wine. Excellent services. Five stars

K.

Had the tasting menu. Venison was definitely the star course and the wines were good with one outstanding. Good value.

Z. M.

Incredible food, faultless service. Breathtaking views too.

P. G.

I think this place or the Grille at least has not been open for long and that might explain some of the bad reviews as our experience was a lot better. Walked in and seated immediately by a great front of house, waiter was excellent and had drinks to us within a few mins. Food was amazing, we had steak! And dessert even better. Service was quick and good. The restaurant is very big with plenty of tables and room. The front of the restaurant is all glass so you have incredible views of the lake. All in all the place had a nice modern feel to it, good friendly service and tasty food.

L.

Fabulous meal here, had seafood chowder and steak. Great cocktails. Staff were lovely and atmosphere cosy and romantic. Lovely experience.

R.

A lovely experience nice lunch brilliant staff friendly and great service will recommend

C. S.

Best eggs Benedict I've ever had. Super buttery and the eggs were cooked to perfection! Staff were lively the only slight let down was the coffee which was fine but not stella. Breakfast with a view

A.

Food is a big let down when the views are incredible, ambiance and staff are lovely and wine list is great. Sadly oysters are not freshly schucked. Dry and hard and very disappointing... They really let down NZ's amazing oyster growers. After my oyster experience I checked with waiter re Steak Tartare, sadly it is also pre prepared. When I decided to order a Wagyu Burger, I asked for medium rare, but was told "no, only well done for food safety reasons". I think this is a lie to disguise the fact all burgers are precooked and only reheated before serving as it makes no sense to have a raw steak tartare pre chopped and not be allowed to serve a fresh burger medium rare. The other food may have been good, but I gave up at that point. If you want freshly prepared food, this really doesn't cut it, sad considering price point and location and other reviews.

P. C.

Salmon egg benny was unreal! Add bacon for extra yum!

T.

I would love to give this 5 stars and I would have for a previous visit. On my first visit I sent private constructive feed back that wasn't acknowledged. This time we came for a quick lunch though this took an hour for mains and then the chowder was too hot to eat or enjoy and hence had to leave this to get to the airport with a parking ticket in hand. So many things are amazing here. It was a shame.

H.

The staff member (I think she was Finnish) was wonderful, very smiley and the perfect waitress, food was phenomenal, I got the Hare on her recommendation and it was incredible. Will be back for sure next time I'm in Queenstown

Z.

Visited this place twice now for lunch. The monkfish was amazing and the beef cheeks even better. Amazing service from everyone here. Very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend visiting this place.

E.

Lovely setting and food. Great service. Had the special of the day lamb shoulders for two, seafood chowder and my kid's favorite kids pasta.

K.

I have eaten steak from Sydney to New York and the steak from here ranked in the top two ever tasted, just a great eating experience. Very good service too and a stunning view if you can grab a seat out front.

D. M.

Excellent wine and knowledgeable staff in a fabulous location. Highly recommend

V.

Beautiful food and fantastic view.

J. C.

Staff took 20 mins to even ask us what we'd like to eat and over half an hour to serve us our 2x drinks and an entree. No water... Restaurant was also quiet. Amongst the amazing selection of restaurants in QTOWN, you have to be on top of things to stand out here. It didn't feel like these guys were... Nice food once served. We didn't order anything else for fear of the wait and left

A. B.

Had a great meal here, Eden our server was OUTSTANDING. She made our experience here unforgettable! We had the fish of the day and the seafood chowder and a beautiful Pinot noir. Recommend 🌟

P.

I was hesitant to try this place after the reviews but overall it was very good. We had a table booked for 7:45 but had to wait for a bit because the couple sitting at the table was not finished yet. We did not mind as we got some drinks at the bar which over looked the kitchen where the chefs talked to us and we got interested in everything they were making. Food was pretty good- steak was amazing, and deserts were very delicious. For entree we had these Parmasan churros which were so unique and delicious. The real stand out was the service. There is a gentleman (I forgot his name) with a beard and long hair, from Idaho in the US who works at this restaurant. He apologised to us for our table being late, kept us up to date with when it was being ready, and even offered another one away from the table if we wanted sooner. He chatted with us during and after our meal and made the experience very pleasant. He is fantastic at his job and fantastic at customer service. Because of you we will come back. Thank you so much for your unique and wonderful service!

A. K.

Great location, great food. The Lunch special is fantastic between 12-4pm $30 for a two course had the seafood chowder and the short rib, nothing to fault. Definitely recommend !

N.

The absolute best steak tartar in all of Queenstown! My family and I came to this restaurant twice in the span of 2 days because all the food was delicious. The steak, especially the ribeye, were all cooked very well and all tasted amazing. All the staff are friendly and affable and always makes you feel welcome. Defenitely a must-try restaurant if you happen to come to Queenstown.

J. C.

Best spot in Queenstown for lakefront dining. Gorgeous restaurant with amazing views over the lake; staff were very friendly, great wine list and we enjoyed everything that we ordered! My personal favourite was the beetroot and blue cheese salad with candied walnuts - yum!

J. F.

Excellent service from Alex who was very generous with our seven strong walk-in group. Excellent food, great nourishing chowder and excellent Rabbit. Super comfy booth seating for us was a treat too. Thanks a lot!

S. Z.

Good food, especially the steak, a bit pricy but worth it because of the quality of the food, the atmosphere and the amazing view! Tips: book a table during the daylight and seat facing the lake!!

A.

Mid to upscale restaurant with good menu options. Comfortable seating, nice ambience. The food was fresh, service prompt. The views from the front row just topped off the overall experience. Recommended!

P.

My husband and I went here for dinner on our last night in Queenstown and what a way to go out! Everything from the view to the atmosphere to the delicious food was so perfect and romantic. James and all the staff are so attentive and made our experience very memorable. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Queenstown!

P.

Lovely setting and service...meal was nice

T.

Great service and great food... Recommend!

C.

Food was ok, waited a bit long, vegetarian choice wasn’t amazing potatoes were slightly undercooked. Waffle was great though.

M.

Great meal, except shoestring chips - really ! Not what you used to have as a proper tapes dish.

S. M.

Excellent service and some of the best food in town, we were served faultless dishes.

L. S.

The meal you couldn't fault but the restaurant was not busy and they left an item off our dinner. By the time they brought to table we were nearly finished our meal. They did not refill our wine or water again once we asked where the potatoes were. It was not a cheap meal so felt the service could have been better

A. N.

After two weeks in New Zealand, the tapas set menu has become my favourite done here. Food was excellent, service was great (Travis), definitely try the brisket and Pana cotta desert.

H.

Excellent service - our host was genuine and professional. Brilliant. Delicious meals. View of lake!

R.

Whiskey glasses were filthy. Sparkling water never came. But the location is second to none especially if u like people watching which I do... until they disrupt the view.

A.

First time dined here when they first opened in 2017 June, and it was ok. We decided to come back again in June 2018, because we are massive fans of Eichartd’s and that is the best place you can stay anywhere in the world and the food and service was the best in Queenstown. If you are here, have oysters, steak and pasta - outstanding!!

T.

Had breakfast here and it’s really just ok. Staff were lovely but food is sub par. Seems to be a trend with anything brunch and breakfast in Queenstown

M.

The Grille sits in a fantastic location lake side. A large room with both space for larger and smaller groups, the setting with its large glass frontage focuses on what is most amazing about Queenstown and makes you feel like you are still a part of everything going on outside and around you, even though you are cosied away inside drinking and eating all that your heart desires. We have always had the most delicious meals here- I can rave extensively about the steak options, the burgers are bloody brilliant if you don’t want to spend the money that is asked of the steak (but spend the money on the steak they are unreal!!) The flavours and textures of the food are top class and if you don’t go for anything else, you HAVE to go for the ‘dessert for two’ platter which is the most amazing, perfect TASTER of all things sweet that they do so so so so SO well. I promise a visit to The Grille will never be regretted.

F.

Beautiful old Pub and Tavern masterly redone into a warm and comfortable Bistro. Great service from the staff. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable of their menus. A definite must go if in Queenstown.

S.

Great food, atmosphere, service and views!

W.

Amazing food and service, we had a fantastic dinner experience, thank you!

D.

Really good food.. great service, but would've been nice if the food didn't come out do fast.. just saying.. cheers.

J.

Incredible tapas. Deep fried banana flower is a must try. Great staff. Beautiful cocktails

J.

Great to have opportunity to revisit a haunt of 60's. Spacious, quiet, friendly knowledgeable staff, good food. Go covid 19 travel restrictions.

S.

Food here is incredible. Great vegetarian options here too also. Cocktails are good variety and taste impeccable. Not to expensive either. Would recommend booking

B.

The meals, and service were excellent. The checkout experience was not so good. I suggested to a learner that I could use my TSB cash-flow card instead of the Visa card I had. This would (like a debit card - savings,) would save on the credit card surcharge for them. This was lost on the learner, (maybe it's acrually not the case in NZ) so when transferred to another staff member, I gave up & I used a Visa Card and this was questioned as well (TSB Visa) He suggested it was the UK TSB and asked what account? Might have been better to just pay by cash perhaps like the old days........ They were under pressure to work, although the place was not full-I guess a symptom of the times?????

B.

I love the design of the place, it all look very old but modern at the same time. My only 4 star complaint was the kids pasta was not optimal, in my opinion.

R.

A nice open atmosphere and fantastic wine list. Food was good, though portions were small for the price is the only negative. Fine service though.

B.

Fantasic place for dinner with breathtaking views and amazing staff. The seafood chowder is an absolute must. After discovering The Grille in february of this year, my now wife and I decided to have our wedding reception here. We could not have chosen a more perfect place in Queenstown. The professionalism and attention to detail I believe, puts The Grille and the whole Eichardts brand above an ever increasing market. We cant thank Adam and Catherine enough for making our day flawless. I can not wait to get back again for our next visit.

S.

Walked in early got seated then forgotten! The new waitress did make up for it. Food was superb

A.

Classy and modern restaurant with a respectable menu. Staff service is courteous and professional. Lovely view of cove if booking the right table.

S.

One of the best steaks I have eaten hands down. Cooked to perfection and was very tasty!

G.

A.

One of the best in Queenstown..

J. C.

Outstanding! Great waterfront location, comfy booth seating and well priced menu, loved the steaks, and had a good local beer 'Cargo'. Oysters in season too

T.

There were only four people on the grille when we ordered. Took 20 minutes to be served. Ordered a side of bacon that took another 15 minutes....slow kitchen.

M.

Very nice meal ,wonderful service and good selection of drinks too

G.

Good food, atmosphere, service, what more could you want? The waiter was the first and last to earn a tip, good on ya.

D.

Fantastic grub..seafood chowder best I've had..think I saw Trump(disguised) in corner crunching on roast spuds and jus then leaving quickly to go and make america great again

M.

Very good food. The bar next door has a very good selection of whiskys and gins.

J. N.

N.

Perfect place to have the perfect dinner Thanks to Luke . This guy has provided us an excellent service with everything Cheers ! Guys

T. I. O. W. (. I. o. W.

Food was fine, but the acoustics of this restaurant are terrible. Can’t here the person opposite you speaking - and why bother having any music in the background. Not sure what the problem is but it’s a shocker!

M.

Really nice atmosphere, great views of the lake, accommodating staff and delicious food. What more can you want!

T. M.

Had their Christmas set menu. Service was good, but the below average food did not warrant the high-end atmosphere and high-end prices.

S.

Outstanding views, super tasty food. Slight issue with one dish that was dealt with super promptly and politely. Very good experience!

S.
