Disappointed with Meal and Service

Went here and booked in 1 month ahead based on the menu online. When we got there the whole menu was different and dull. Very limited wine (by the glass) options. Once we picked one (limited choice) we were told it's out of stock. Had...a beer instead. Service was rushed and impersonal. There are better places to dine.More

The restaurant was recommended by our Motel and pleased we took their advice. My wife has have a gluten free diet and they were very understanding and accommodating. We both had the pork, very nice indeed. Surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night, so bookings recommended....A Tekapo highlight.More

Spectacular food

By far one of the most amazing meals I have ever had. Had the shared mains platter and the duo of desserts and am still thinking about it the next day. Local cuisine, great service and food out of this world. I would recommend booking...ahead as it was very busy.More

Dinner for two

Enjoyable meal, pleasant and efficient staff, busy spot. A fairly short menu but the dishes were well-prepared. I particularly enjoyed my blue cheese and pear pizza. Felt the prices were a little high for the location, more Auckland prices than Tekapo!

Delicious food

Service was fantastic and we had more than one staff ensuring we were not waiting for anything. One staff member stopped when she heard me say to my husband we have decided what we want and took our order which was super efficient. The meal...was amazing! We had the shared platter of lamb shank salmon and pork fillet - a platter well big enough for two even with a meat eating lover who was quite satisfied when he finished. We were we’re too full to try the amazing out of this world looking desserts!More

Great food, good beer, fab service

Had dinner at the Blue Lake without actually realising they had a brewery on site which gave me a pleasant surprise. The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome all night. We both had pizzas which were super tasty as well as a...couple of cocktails (both yum) and tried the beer tasting platter as well which gave me a hard choice when deciding which pint to have. Nearly forgot to mention the dessert which was pretty and very tasty too. Overall a great night.More

Some menu items were unavailable

Visited Blue Lake Eatery for dinner (early evening). There were a couple of menu items that were unavailable, including the salmon. There was a bit of confusion as to what the fish of the day was. Service was slow to start with and prices were...rather expensive.More
