Reviews of The Steak House Taupo

Y. Z.

Felt very satisfied after the meal.🥩🥩 Had Eye fillet steak wrapped in bacon, cooked well, tasted fantastic😋 while T bone steak was a bit over cooked. Gravy that came with the steaks was delicious as well. The environment was lovely, and the service was nice and professional.

D. D. L.

Very high quality steak in Taupro. We ate a scotch steak, duck beast, garlic cheese bread, and a desert. Both are exceptionally tasty. We will certainly come to eat again in our next Taupro visit.

H. P.

Had dinner at the steak house tonight. Walked through the door and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were shown to our table and was nice with mood lighting. The staff are excellent, polite and very professional. The only thing I would say is let customers know to watch the step when heading to the front of the restaurant. The food was just amazing. I had the T-bone steak (huge and the meat melted in your mouth) with two eggs, mushrooms sauce, cheesy sticks and my wife has the chicken and bacon fettuccine (she said it was really good). We had dessert Ginger Creme Burlee. My wife and I shared and it was delicious. Will definitely go back.

A. N.

Beautiful calm atmosphere feels nice and intimate loved the lighting and our great service the food was awesome and very satisfying. Highly recommended

D. P.

My husband and I went here on Friday night. Service was amazing aswell as the food! We gave our compliments to the manager and thought our 2 waiters were absolutely lovely and on point. It was a plus that they served Halal aswell. Definitly recomend

N.

Wow! Just wow, an excellent experience, and yes it's a 5 star. Pure enjoyment from entering to the ambience, the staff awesome. The food the best!!!!! Plain and simple awesome. I would recommend booking in advance.

A. M.

Amazing selection of food and drinks. Do have to book as it was very busy. Food was cooked and presented well. The staff were wonderful. So friendly and pleasant to deal with. We had a great relaxing meal there. Would go again.

H. S.

The service was friendly and speedy, even though they were very busy. My partner's steak was delicious but some of the other flavours were a bit off (the duck breast sides weren't to my taste and the cocktail was very sweet), but of course you go to a steak house for the steak!

A.

Very nice and friendly. Super professional. Very quick in bringing things to the table. Steak was very good, cooked perfect. I enjoyed my meal , thank you very much. Definitely recommend

H. M.

Beautiful food and excellent service. Steak was perfect. The service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. Really nice surroundings too. We'll be back.

A.

So many amazing meat options! Fantastic service. My top pick for Taupo restaurants. They were able to adjust the meat meals to keto and there was still plenty of food to satisfy. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the food was really good! This will be my first stop in future visits to taupo. Highly recommended for keto, zero carb, or meat lovers. The only thing missing was a cheese board on the dessert menu.... Maybe they will add one in the future.

M. B.

Perfect steak, awesome service and great staff.

B.

Great steaks, friendly service. Lots of options for sauces with your steak, plus the usual fare of fish and chips etc. Service was fast and efficient.

K. K.

The great place for steak. They are very great in service and food. I like there awesome service all staffs are very friendly and helpful. There food is mouth watering if see you the food. We will come again soon. Lamb is amazing. They don’t have front car park. You have park your car little bit far or opposite site near to the Tongariro park. They have wheelchair friendly access. They are pretty busy restaurant. If your group is big you should take reservations for your table.

N.

My food was lovely, hubby said steak was mediocre for the money, as was the burger. Not worth the higher price tag but they do a mean espresso martini and their cheesy garlic sticks are delicious

R. A.

We ate here two nights in a row on a recent trip to Taupo. Lovely atmosphere, excellent tasty food and good service with very friendly staff. Our steaks were cooked to perfection (which can be tough when ordering blue steak). My only criticisms were that on the first night our empty glasses from the first round weren't removed until the end of the night and the second night our meals came out lightning fast which didn't give us enough time to digest but all and all a top notch steak house that I highly recommend

A.

Great place, good food and good atmosphere. Most of the food was great but when one of the dishes came back a little undercooked the staff was quick to fix it and it was great when I came back. Would still reccomend and would come back 😊

m. a.

Everyone raved about their meals!!! Only negative would be the lack of greens (although you can order these separately)

B.

Great top quality dining. Large portion sizes as well. The Steak House continues to be one if the best places to dine in Taupo.

C. T.

Delicious food, tasty drinks, Amazing atmosphere and lovely staff - what more could you ask for?

C. M.

Great food, staff were very accommodating, the duck I had was cooked perfectly. Drinks were a bit overpriced but otherwise a great meal and atmosphere

C. T.

Seriously The Steak House was recommended, and we thought yes yes! we will be the judge! 😉well wow! credit to them, the steaks were perfect, my porterhouse with side of marrow bone, was fabulous! cooked to perfection, and piping 🔥 hot! Service by young lad from Munich was first class. Well done team!

T. H.

The staff here are quite friendly and kind. I ordered a “200g prime sirloin steak” and a bottle of beer. The taste of the steak is good and just $25(it’s an early bird special). The bottle of beer is $8. A little bit expensive. But, overall, it’s a good restaurant.

T. C.

Recommended to us by a local. Gurtej and the team know their stuff. We are Wellington based foodies (and food snobs) and well traveled. The steaks were among the best we've had anywhere and perfectly cooked and complemented. I had pork belly entree followed by the 300g eye fillet (with blue cheese). Could not fault it. Will become a regular place for my steak fix when in or passing through Taupo!

G.

One of the best rib-eye's I've eaten in a long, long time. Creamy mash and an extra sauce, bloody terrific!

B.

Love this place, four of us had lamb on mashed potato and gravy with vegetables. Very hard to top this meal

G. S.

The food was perfect as was the service. We had a delicious meal & a very good time. The wait staff were very professional & courteous. A very clean & well run establishment that I highly recommend & look forward to returning to soon. Facilities were spotless & well appointed. Parking was easy as.

B. M.

The Steak House is a restaurant that aims at fine dining, rather than just your average meal. It has a fantastic friendly, warm environment from the moment you walk in the door. The aesthetic is refined and modern, and the tables are comfortably spaced and positioned. As for the food, I cannot fault them. Their steak was cooked to perfection, the sauce was rich, but no overpowering. The Greek salad on the side was very fresh, and delicious. If you are looking for somewhere up market, with fantastic food, and a welcoming atmosphere, then look no further. A must visit in Taupo.

C. B.

Outstanding service and food. One of the best I had in New Zealand. The scotch filet was perfect and my wife's veg fettuccine awesome. Again, the attention and kindness of the staff was remarkable. All for a fair price.

T. P.

Steak was perfect! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere 🙂 will visit again and again!

N. S.

Very nice steak, lovely cooked medium and a medium rare both perfect. Service, bit hard to get attention but polite. Atmosphere is also comfortable. Solid 4.5 (have a star off for having to go looking for servers). Tasty apple crumble as well.

K.

The best steak I've had in a long time. Good service & excellent food. Highly recommend. I'll be back next time we are in Taupo.

K.

Amazing food and service. The prawn starter was flavourful and I had one of the best steaks here. The staff were friendly. Highly recommend.

L.

Fantastic steak and awesome service. My wife had the chicken which was fantastic as well! Recomend

S. O.

On the fence about The Steak House - I asked for a medium rare steak and it came out mostly rare. Another friend ordered her steak medium and hers was medium well to well done. However, the brownie was divine.

t. h.

300g Eye Fillet and Chicken Breast. Was absolutely devine. Definately recommend tgese too dishes. Will try the Duck and T-Bone nxt visit.

Y. S.

The staff that served us is very nice and polite (didn't get her name). Had a wonderful dinner for a special occasion. All the dishes ordered was very delicious (thank you chefs). Would definitely come back if we're in Taupo again.

E. E.

The food was ok - what you’d expect from an average steak house. The experience itself was all very rushed, felt like we ordered fast food. Would not recommend the ‘special’ cocktail, tasted like watered down alcohol mixed with a ton of sugar and cinnamon. We were sitting in the bar area which is very poorly lit, to the point we had to use our phone torches to look at what we were eating.

C.

The steak was Well cooked, good service. Added galic n pasley butter for $5.

K. O.

Excellent Service by the young man tonight. Food was excellent. Thankyou

S. F.

My partner, daughter and I were here between 6pm and 7.30 pm. The waitress made a mistake with my order although i did point at the item when ordering. She and the restaurant manager then apologised and even though it is okay, people make mistake, it just meant I had to wait for 45 to 50 minutes for my meal to arrive. The food was great. But wait for this. When we were at the counter, the restaurant manager said, I'm sorry again about the mistake mam, that would be $204. I checked the bill and saw the item we didn't order there! So I said to him, really? you are going to charge us the lamb rump we didn't order? He then got red-faced and said, well, actually I was going to ask you to double check mam. Shocking! He came to our table 3 times to apologise and he still was going to charge us the lamb rump we didn't order. To the restaurant owner, the food, the drinks and the ambience were great, unfortunately you have a deceitful manager.

C.

The steak was delicious, the pan seared duck breast was flavoursome, the ambience was amazing, the service was choice!

C. M.

Great Food & Service Not often you can get both at the same time in a restaurant these days! Prawn dish, lamb croquettes and Fillet Steak were all awesome!! Excellent service to boot!! Thanks for such a great meal experience!

M. J.

Great food, great service. Definitely going back!

R.

We love how family friendly they are here and the staff are so inviting you can just tell that someone has put their heart into making this feel like home! The atmosphere kept our little one calm and happy which makes for happy parents all-round! Compliments go to the chef because each meal is always prepared delicately with top-of-the-range taste which has bought us back time and time again. Welcoming, with good service, great food and amazing atmosphere cannot fault anything! You really cannot miss out on visiting this restaurant while your in Taupo!

A. G.

Ideal place for small or large groups, & also a good place for date. Cool little bar near the front desk too, can get a bit narrow however. Great interior design which provides a positive vibe throughout the restaurant.

J.

Amazing place. One of the best steaks I've had. We were also on a tight timeline to get to a movie, and the team at the Steak House found us a table and made sure our meals came out in time. We will be back for sure. Thanks Steak House team!

B.

Out of all the wonderful eateries Taupo has to offer, we decided to eat here for our Anniversary dinner in late July having received a recommendation to try it out. We're not from Taupo so this place was carefully chosen to give us the most memorable experience whilst we visited. First and foremost; what a beautifully decorated restorant - the ambience was wonderful and cozy - bravo on a good first impression. The food overall was also delicious and diligently prepared with finesse. I personally ended up eating two mains for reasons I will explain momenetarily, but enjoyed both nevertheless. Now for the unfortunate part of our evening. My wife after receiving her mains expressed that she found the food to be quite tough and unpalitable for her, and requested to change it. This simple request was for some reason escalated to the manager who came round and tried to understand the issue but failed to see the big picture and uphold that extra level of customer service we were expecting. He questioned my wife rather intensely for a few moments arguing unnecessarily about why she didn't like the food before turning to ask me what I thought about her food which I felt was rather inappropriate and irrelevant as our tastes are obviously different. Whislt he was generally polite all throughout the interaction and I fully understand the need to ask questions and get feedback on the food as a first step, he unfortunately made my wife feel intimidated with the way he questioned her and handled this, and this resulted in us ending our dining experience earlier than planned and not proceeding with deserts which all 5 of us really wanted to have. Ultimately I was forced to order another meal for my wife since a replacement was not accommodated and I subsequently ended up eating two mains to avoid waste. I didn't mind doing this and I certainly wasn't expecting a freebie, however the manager could have been a bit more professional with his approach and ultimately they lost out on more orders (which by the way would have cost a lot more than a replacement dish) due to the lack of simple warmth and a smiling disposition from the manager. All other staff were wonderful and welcoming which is why I will still rate this place 4 out of 5.

D.

Very nice entree's. Beautiful steak meal. Great desert. Highly recommend.

n. w.

Fantastic food, very attentive wait staff. Thoroughly recommend

S.

Excellent aged T-Bone and entrees. Amazing service from waitress named Serena. Thanks for the great experience!

F. M.

Was yum and great service and atmosphere. And is halal which was great and a bonus. Will come back again

F. S.

Always lovely food,great customer service we will definitely keep coming back

C. U.

Food was amazing as always. It was busy but the wait on food wasn't too long. Service was great. Only disappointment was the dessert menu, no dietary requirements visible and no suggestions for gluten free. It was a sad conclusion to my customer experience as I was saving room specifically for dessert and had to go elsewhere. I hope to see this rectified in the future as I enjoy the food and the ambiance.

k.

Food is the best but people was smoking from outside very hard to stay. Very bad smell.

D.

Have been several times and never disappointed. Great food and service.

L. M.

Last night my partner and I had the best dinning experience in New Zealand to date! The manager on duty, Girjit ( not sure on the spelling but you know who you are) made us feel very welcome , the service was excellent, the food was delicious and he made the best Irish coffee! He was on top form! Thank you .

L.

Nicely cooked steak, all add ons make an expensive dinning experience

T.

Amazing meal, the eye fillet steak I had was cooked to perfection and the oysters were outstanding. My wife had the scotch fillet and she loved it. We had our 22 month old son and they accommodated him well and got his meal out super quickly which was ideal! Great atmosphere and experience!

S. B.

Wonderful service the bathrooms were immaculate the decor was very nice. meals were very tasty overall awesome experience!!!

R. K.

Steak great. The coleslaw for $8 was a very small bowl of very mayonnaisy supermarket slaw. I would have expected something better and a serve for two. We felt the experience and quality was not up to the quality it used to be, and the value did not match the pricing. ( up selling changing out potatoes for chips an extra $3 which is fine if the serve of fries is high quality which these weren’t) In the end I think the whole dinner was just about how to get sneaky upsells without adding equivalent value. Shame.

P. K.

Just rocked up, no booking needed. Fresh fish filo spectacular! Roast chicken breast fabulous! Finished with an unusual dried fruit soaked in brandy & covered in creamy ice cream dessert! With lovely waiting service, Madeleine and my Friday evening dinner was superb. Highly recommended.

J. L.

Whoever was working Monday 21st Sept needs a payrise! Great evening and very well looked after.

A. J.

This is our 3rd time on our Christmas holiday here. The Eye Fillet Steak is Awesome (highly recommend), the entrees are tasty, friendly staff, good service times, the bar has a great selection and will even make things by customizations. All round a great place to visit on your stop in Taupo. Cheers team, until our trip through.

A. W.

Absolutely awesome dinner! Steaks were cooked to perfection and all the sides were beautiful. Excellent service from the Front of House manager and our waiter. Will definitely come back next time we are in town

R.

Steak is really good.. aged nicely... reasonable prices ...

T.

Absolutely food. The meat melts in your mouth. While this maybe a steak house there are plenty of non meat options. There desserts also melt in your mouth. The atmosphere and decor here was also lovely and really felt like a steak house by a lake.

A. v. D.

We went for a birthday. Spend heaps of money. We ordered rump steaks. Sizes differ dramatically. 2 of it arrived uneatable. The manager offer to change it for any steak on the menu because it was their mistake. He still charge us for the more expensive steaks instead of the rump steaks. We just paid and left. We will never go back.

N.

I can't fault this establishment. We walked in lateish, and they still served us. The servings were generous, and tasty. Staff were friendly, and not overbearing. Decor is good. Every restaurant should poke their nose through the door to see how it's done.

L.

Amazing food! Wanted to lick my plate!

M.

Nice food and atmosphere a few subtle things let it down. But still worth a visit.

S. W.

Great food and service. Our waitress Gracie was the best.

T.

Delicious! Great beer on tap 👌🏽👌🏽 Cool vibe an upmarket atmosphere, very intimate but also good for small groups. Staff looked smart, helpful and proactive. Service was quick. Fine dining at its best😎 Pork belly sharing starter - absolutely amazing, succulent, soft, great moisture , taste goes perfectly with the sweet apple sauce and the pomegranate sauce just tops off the side salad. Sirloin steak with mushroom sauce - perfectly cooked medium steak, moist and succulent , rested just enough. Mushroom sauce was a great contribution to the taste of the steak.

S.

delicious garlic bread and Awesome service by Restaurant manager.

N. B.

Sat down for lunch today and had the nachos with beef and bean. Tasted amazing. Will be going back for more. Service was great.

N. H.

The food was amazing and the service was very good we went there with a large group and didn't have to wait long for all the meals I really recommend going there

J. G.

Fantastic service, took us to our table and had our orders taken down after just a few minutes of deciding what to have. Meals cooked to perfection and in a timely manner which meant we were able to come in, eat, and leave all within an hour, even though the restaurant was already busy. Phenomenal steaks, great service!

M. E.

Good, reliable, but short of excellence. The atmosphere and service are excellent, but what makes a steak stand out are the accoutrements, such as a robust peppercorn sauce, or better yet, a brandy mushroom sauce. The other key is the quality of the cut of beef, hard to control, but it needs to be tender as well as flavorful.

M.

Update: Thank you to the owner. Issue was resolved. Appreciated his time, effort and apology to rectify. Changed rating to reflect food quality. Check your bill carefully before you pay. We were charged for alcohol we didn't have. $30 worth. Very annoyed.

K.

This is the second time we have had dinner at this restaurant. The Steak House is worth a special trip to Taupo just to eat here. Amazing steaks and very good service. Arnas waited our table and he was great. Also very child friendly staff and menu with more than just amazing steaks available.

Z.

Always has an always will be one of the nicest restaurants in Taupo.

J.

Best serlion I have eaten in Taupo. Highly recommended

F.

OMG! What a fantastic meal experience. Loved every mouthful. I had the scotch steak and bearnaise sauce with mash. Sooo good, along with the Good Shepherd pinot, perfect!

T.

The had an early special. I had Steak , salad and fries for $25. Great service, excellent chef, perfectly cooked steak well presented and a generous serving!

G.

Great food & awesome steak. It was busy but the service was excellent. Definitely going back!

D.

No reservation but they gave us a table next to the fire. Steak was beautiful. Actually the best steak i have had in a long time. Definitely recommend. Then check out the light show across the road in the park after dinner

C.

This restaurant has the best service and the food was simply AMAZING!! They really accommodated our family and the fish was 10/10!!!! The portion size is massive our family left so happy with the food and service. Thank you!

D.

Excellent steaks cooked to perfection 👌 However a little over priced , exta charge to swap sautéed potatoes for fries ?!?! And accompaniments like mushroom sauce, garlic butter, .... an extra $5 i thought it would be included like 99% of other restaurants. Oh well what can you do.

C. S.

Really enjoyed our visit to The Steak House Taupo tonight! Booked earlier in the day and was seated in a nice area at the front. Loved the atmosphere and ambience at the restaurant. Food was delicious and didn't last long on the plate! The steaks that were ordered looked awesome and the chicken breast was delicious. The food arrived in a reasonable time, the only thing I'd say would have made our visit a five star was the wait to order (drinks and food) but our lovely waitress did mention she had a few other tables to wait on. This place, it's get busy, but it's worth it. Good service, great food!

C.

The food was fabulous and the service was excellent thank you ....we will be back

W. M.

Very welcoming, great staff and great food. These guys took us in after we stood waiting with no interaction for 10mins at another eatery nearby. This is our second time and would rate these guys the best in Taupo for good steak meals, ambiance and great service, far better than some of the other top rated places around.

G. C.

Steak was good but served on a squashed baked potato? Desert (Rum pot) however at $18 dollars was well marketed It read as the feature delux don’t let you kids have one adult deliciousness but unfortunately on arrival at table was diabolical! The cost gets you a small scoop of average vanilla ice cream, a walkers shortbread biscuit (fresh from the packet) and three raisins, a slightly frozen crushed raspberry and possibly a slice of mushy apple all of which got to sniff the barman’s pinny enroute to your table from the kitchen! Total fruit in pot = 1/2 a dessert spoonful Do yourself a favour here just skip desert. Oh and staff are about as interested in your dining experience as a piece of cardboard would be! Not good enough Taupo Steak House simply not good enough!

S. H.

This is by far the best place I have eaten in Taupo to date. The steak was cooked to perfection (rare, of course) and the sides were mouthwateringly tasty. They had no problem catering to our table of sevens' off menu requests and the barman even made me a whisky sour which is not on the menu. What's more is, he did a good job of it. Very cool front of house staff, although the waiter was a tad nervous.

L. P.

Passing though Taupo and decided to have dinner at the steak house. Very busy inside but everyone was very friendly, got seated at bar tables which was honestly fine with me and then the lovely man told us he cleared a table for 2 for us in the dining area which I didn’t expect, such lovely staff! Food was fast even for a busy restaurant and so very delicious. :) we will definitely be back and will bring more people with us next time too. Very happy with this place. Highly recommend 💫

F.

We had extremely excellent service and our waitress Serena is definitely an asset to this establishment. Keep up the standard guys.

D.

Great food, highly recommend. Staff warm and friendly

S.

Halal. Really good educated staff who told us which foods where halal or cross contaminated with pork such as the fries. They even did seperate fries for the kids. Really high quality fancy and delicious meals. Amazing staff. I would thoroughly recommend and come here again for sure!

S. G.

Hi. Having spent a few days in Taupo we ate at a couple of different restaurants. The food was great and we rated it highly HOWEVER.....the kicker was.....going to the steak house last night. OMG the food was just another level above all else. It was fabulous faultless loved it so much. Professional at it's best. Service was great. Steak was cooked as requested bang on. This place never fails . Have been here a few times now over three years. Will be back😉 Simon and Rachel

A. H.

Food and service was absolutely amazing! The steaks were so fresh and tasty compared to steak in America. Aslo very child friendly placerk dine for dinner. We had a lovely view of the lake and the park during dinner time. Went here twice for dinner the second dinner wasn’t as good as the first but overall definitely would recommend the staff are great! Cozy intimate atmosphere with waiters who pay attention to detail and make stellar recommendations.

J. H.

Went here for dinner while staying in Taupo. Best service I have ever had in New Zealand the steak was comparable to the grill in sky city. Price arent too bad considering the quality of the steak and the service provided. If you want an amazing night out eating steak and drinking amazing wine go here. It would be great for couple on a date night or to celebrate a anniversary.

T.

Its ok. Ordered 2 mains for one person to be told they were quite big meals. Good thing i ordered 2 because they weren't all that big. $5 for mushroom toppers? 2 small flat Mushrooms with cheese. Please look at adding more Mushrooms. I'm unsure why you have that peice of art hanging on the wall of a Chief. Seems out of place and a little confusing... You have my money and the service was good.

H.

I usually don’t leave reviews on googlemap, but this place I feel like I must. I had been let down one too many times by 4-5 star steakhouses, but this one hands down does AMAZING steak. In fact, my best meal in my 2 week trip in NZ! I can proudly call myself a foodie and don’t give 5 star ratings easily-but their tender eye was just a dream. I would definitely visit this place again if I come back to NZ!

c.

What a restaurant to dine in ❤. Absolutely loves the atmosphere, food and service. And they serve halal food with a great knowledge of halal. This family owned restaurant took hospitality to another level. And we loved Rachel. She patiently explained everything and recommended the right selection for us, such a sweetheart. We gonna come back for your food Whenever we are in taupo. Thank you.

N.

Great food with a good wine list. Friendly service & a very good ambiance.

T.

Steak was really good tried the angus burger and chicken pasta all the food was amazing portions were good size. Ordered beer on tap was a little disappointed at the size of the glass other than that would recommend.

G. C.

Saw the reviews and by George they were correct, good wine selection, and the menu, what a variety, not exclusively meat, the calamari starter was a delight and not what I was expecting, no thick batter, the surf and turf was really delicious. The service by the staff was excellent, time to choose, no rush and very friendly in to the bargain. All in all a really overall good dining experience, would definitely recommend this eatery.

H.

Awesome service and bloody delicious! The first steak house I've been to where they actually cooked my steak very well done as I had requested! A big thank you for that!!! Would go again in a heart beat!

R. “. A. F.

We are still eating our food here, i haven't had a good mushroom sauce in a long time, the food is glorious, the scotch steak is succulent juicy and tender to my liking, the mushroom sauce is amaaaazing!! Bomb as. Wwe absolutely recommend this place to whoever comes down to Taupo. We never miss this place every single time we come to town. The deserts were good too. The staff were awesome friendly and welcoming as always. Im happy, can not faukt this place. Great place with great service and atmosphere. Thank you guys.

S. R.

Delicious! Great atmosphere! Definitely a place I would go back to next time I am back in Taupo.

a.

4 of us came here this evening. ommmmgggg the steaks we had were perfection...cooked to how each of us wanted...the toppers and sides delicious ..great ambience and excellent service. we will be back!

L.

The location is great right near the Lake. Service was perfect staff were really welcoming and nice. Food was amazing!! Both myself and my partner ordered the Fish Filo as our mains and the bruschetta as an entre and was absolutely amazing cooked to perfection. Really happy with our outing here.

A.

Wow, steak is amazing. Had a scotch Fillet rare, and it couldn't have been better. Stunning atmosphere inside. Love the two Black and white Photos of cattle.

T. D.

Just left about 20mins ago after dining out for mothers day. I have already recommended this restaurant to friends and family who I know will be visiting Taupo soon. Could not fault a single thing, from staff interaction with customers to decor down to the food. Best meal out we have all had in a long time. What really makes this place memorable is the staff, you can tell they genuinely love what they do (not something you get when dining out in Auckland) Will be back and will continue to come back whenever in Taupo. Keep up the fantastic work guys.

E. S.

What a place... fantastically attentive staff, clean, pleasant decor, and very nice food. We went in when it was very busy and were asked to allow the staff 15 mins before serving... within 5 mins we were already served our drinks. Despite the place being full, the food came out in a reasonable time and was delicious. Will return when we can!

B. C.

Their steak is beautifully cooked, succulent and tender. There was a group of older men that were being rude, almost offensive, to a waitress. A male server helped deal with it in a professional and discrete way. We would go there again without hesitation. Also serves craft brewed beers 😁

L.

Food was really good and the service was excellent. Like most steak houses very well done but pricier that other restaurants. You get what you pay for though right:-)

R. M.

Amazing Steak with amazing service! Halal option available!

W.

If you are a meat eater like me, you'd like to try lamb in New Zealand. I have tried many different lamb steak in New Zealand, the best one I have had is at the Steak House in Taupo. I ordered the Lamb Rump Steak. It was perfect. Before that, I thought the lamb can be only prepared as lamb chops, lamb shank, or stew. I really enjoyed the Lamb Rump. I asked for a median cooked. It came out exactly as I was expected. Different from beef, lamb has its special taste and flavor. Thanks you Taupo Steak House to make me realize that. Even if this is a small city, a reservation is needed if you'd like to dine there at your preferred hour.

J. H.

We had an amazing dinner. First steak in a long time and it did not disappoint. The staff were awesome funny and great to deal with. Highly recommend.

J.

Excellent steak, but disappointed that they do not cater for Keto, and as Taupo is the Keto Capital of New Zealand, I thought they would be more helpful. Iasked if the potatoes that came with the meal could be substituted for a more Keto friendly salad or vegetables, and was told no, but could get potato fries for an extra $3. I explained that potatoes are not keto. Just a smile and confused look.

b. p.

Surf and Turf (serloin) steak was as good as you can get. Gravy (jus) and new potatoes served with meal were delicious as was their version of a Greek Salad ordered as a side. Great Service too.

H. F. o. o. C. F.

Love the fish of the day. My husband loved the ribs

L.

Absolutely amazing 😍

Best resaurant I have been to for a while! Host and waiter were both polite cheery helpful young men whose mother's would be proud of their respect for their elderly customers and their ability to connect with various diners. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was cooked amazingly! This is now our place to go when we head back to Taupo! Thank u for a great night! 😊

J. H.

This place is amazing! Definitely reccomend if you are hungry for steak. I could not fault this dish everything was hot and went well with each other. Reasonably priced and excellent customer service. Thanks The Steak House. Absolutely gorgeous and definitely will be back.

R.

Beautiful steak, kids loved their meals, fish in filo pastry was delicious but the mass of mash didn't really fit with it, food delivery was a little slow given the restaurant was less than half full, but waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Overall though the food was great and we'd recommend and return.

B.

Brilliant meal friendly service would definitely recommend!!!

J.

Great service from the time you enter. The steaks and side dishes were amazing. I would probably include an extra side to go with the mains but overall great experience.

C.

Great steaks. Great service

L.

Beautiful tasty meals with great service..will def come back again.

J.

Honestly the best steak I've eaten in my entire travels of NZ. Would 100% recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back! It is definitely worth the money, with amazing decor and vibe, wonderful and understanding waitresses/waiters and chefs, in regards to numerous food intolerances.

J.

Absolutely amazing steak meal! Highly recommended to all.

E. J.

My partner and I were staying in Taupō and decided to go into the steakhouse we asked for a table for two but as they were busy all tables for two were reserved. But were were told there was a bar table and bar stools we could sit at which were totally fine my partner got to sit in front of the tv and was happy. Our food was so good I have never finished a whole pasta dish at a restaurant before until the steakhouse. Service was amazing and definitely will be back but we will reserve seats next time 😊

R.

Service was great and the food was amazing. Definitely going back

D. D.

Yes...you should just go now! A friend and I stopped in late to fuel up after hiking the Tongariro Crossing - no regrets here. I'd recommend the Porterhouse. You won't be disappointed in yourself for getting it, rather what if you don't!? My mate had the sirloin and was beyond satisfied with his choice. Place had a nice relaxing feel, and not too fancy of an environment for the price. It's an awesome steakhouse, so it's not cheap.

F.

Superb meal experience. Great service and nice atmosphere. The steak was done perfectly and the side dishes were great. The desserts were also very good, I'd certainly recommend the creme brulee.

t.

Dinner for 6 of us tonight. Dining space is modern and warm with a dimly light glow that has the familiar “steak house” feel to it - just needs an ageing cupboard to show off their quality cuts. Service was on point, welcoming, friendly and warm. Our kids polished off their plates without fuss, and the usually never are able to finish their food - fussy eaters but the kitchen did such a good job they couldn’t help but to finish. Our meals exceeded expectation - steaks were flavourful and well aged, and the catch of the day was fresh and thoughtfully presented. Wish we could have had room for dessert as the portions were precise enough that we could manage appetisers and mains. Maybe the best dinner we have had out in NZ over that last couple of weeks. We will be back.

P.

The food was absolutely outstanding. I Highly recommend it. The meat was so tender it's just not true, melt in your mouth. ( all I'll say is no tooth picks needed ). All thumbs up to The Steak House Taupo.

L. &. B. G.

Absolutely Devine service and meals. Staff were very professional and super attentive with nothing being a problem. Went with hubby and two kids and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience!! Would highly recommend!!!

H. M.

Wow! Who would have thought that a small town like Taupo would have a superb restaurant like this. We only have a few days left in New Zealand so chose The Steak House because of the reviews and were not disappointed. The staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The food was presented beautifully and was delicious. My other half wanted bigger portions (he says that everwhere we go) and I to stop myself from cleaning out the brulee dish with my finger. Wish this place was in Perth!!! Thanks

J.

Excellent food but the service was absolutely amazing, such friendly staff, didn't wait long for food and drinks to come, would totally dine here again and recommend to anyone

J.

Great food and service. The Chips are amazeing

H. F.

I haven't had a meal quite so exquisite in years. I indulged in the fish and filo and all that came with it and it was like i had died and gone to heaven, desert was also fabulous i had the Gelato. Would highly reccomend and so hope to be back soon!

L. K. M.

I loved the food it was spectacular. But that was it the service was deplorable. The maitre d was lovely only wish we had her as a server because we felt like we got left there in the background. We had two servers both of which said perhaps a sentence total to us. With great food should come great service..

H.

One the best restaurants we have experienced. Friendly team Highly recommend

K.

Absolutely amazing food, the cheese soup amazing, the fries and Aoili were the best I've ever tasted!!! My partner had the steak - He really really enjoyed! Very good price as well! Thanks guys!!

J.

Our steak was cooked just how we like it. Very nice place. I'm happy we get to celebrate our post Anniversary here.

S.

Exceptional service from friendly staff, great food, good drink selection. They were happy to accommodate requests. I would definitely recommend them.

A.

Always a great steak cooked to perfection & great service.

Wasn't expecting a great deal, just run the mill streak joint but this place was actually good. Steak was a good piece of meat and well cooked. Service was very attentive.

T. &. J. C.

Great Steak restaurant, we had one of the best steaks in a long time at this restaurant, have just spend two weeks in Taupo New Zealand and this place was just great. Not the cheapest in town but very nice meals, well done guys. Would recommend.

This restaurant is a place taupo can be proud of . The quality of service and the food is always consistant. Everytime I'm back to my home town I get a steak and a chat with Greg and Annette . There's no I in team or Deon , that's a fact.

T.

Great service & excellent food. Well worth the price. Would definitely eat here again when back in Taupo!!

D. M.

This place i cant give enough credit to the absolute top of the top service and food... the staff are so so friendly, knowledgeable, and as a patron... your dietry needs and meal satisfaction are the steakhouses number one priority, they came and spoke with us in the most friendly casual humourous and polite mannered way possible. Thanlyou SO much guys we will recommend you to all and im sure be back at some stage! 🤘🤘👌❤

O.

Arguably Taupo's best dining venue. Despite being a stereotypical steak house, the food is inventive and presented beautifully. Flavours on point, I hope the chefs are paid well.

P.

Beautiful meal, great service. Lovely staff. Would recommend going there. Thank you to The Steak House Taupo.

M.

Great service and the waiting time was excellent. We ordered the Eye fillet and it was cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend.

I loved it so much I had dinner here 2 days in a row. I got a steak and red wine, plus a burger the second time I was there. Excellent.

Immediate friendly professional service from the moment we walked in the door on a busy Saturday night. A nice modern interior design meets reasonable prices with good portion sizes.

K.

Great service, food was delicious and the restaurant interior is very nice making it an easy place to enjoy dinner. Will definitely come back here the next time I am in Taupo.

R.

Nice meal - nice staff - limited parking. Overall a good experience.

B.

Great food and atmosphere but after paying for the steak you than have to pay for sides and sauce. Great steak though.

B.

If you like steak, this is one of the best in the country and it's in Taupo. If in Auckland the prices would be much higher and booking would be absolutely essential.

K.

Alex our waiter was bloody awesome and the food great

A.

Comfortable atmosphere, the most amazing food and even better service. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know. Thanks
