While it wasn't our first choice, I was very impressed with the friendly service. Advised immediately that there would be a delay. Felt very taken care of, front of house staff fantastic. Then the food arrived. He had steak eggs and chips, looked very happy. I had the beef fillet, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Awesome night. Thanks team :)

Beautiful location overlooking the lake, nice and warm with a couple of fires going, food wasn't particularly cheap but it was generous and delicious.

Went into the Restaurant expecting tourist pricing. Did not expect the quality to be at such an average standard. I ordered the nachos but received a plate corn chips covered with a minimal amount of slightly hotter than room temperature mince mixture that tasted rather bland. Friends seemed to have similar comments about their meals. Patronizing comments from staff about... More

The service from the staff was terrible from the outset, they were not accommodating of our group at all and would have preferred us to go somewhere else - I wish they would have told us this before we ordered as I would love to erase this experience. I ordered nachos which was a let down, others at our table... More

I went to this restaurant with a group of my friends for a casual lunch. We were treated poorly by the staff as soon as we walked in. They had big issues with us rearranging a few tables to accomodate our large group. The waitresses were consistently rude and expected us to complete their jobs for them. The food was... More

We came in for lunch, the attitude and service of staff was the most disgusting I have ever received. The woman was not accomodating our group of ten advising that if we wanted to eat together we must move the tables ourselves and put them back, she made it clear that they were each worth $1,000 and to be very...

....after a hike up Mount John and walk around the lake. Great views from this solid restaurant, looking out over Lake Tekapo. Bacon and Eggs were delicious and my husbands French Toast with bacon and bananas certainly didn't last long! Great start to the day.

Had an early booking before our stargazing tour later that night. Overall cant complain. The food was tasty and affordable, couldn't help but feel the restaurant lacked a little atmosphere despite being half full. Just happened to be one of a few places open the following morning for breakfast which I enjoyed more than the meal the previous evening. We... More
