Went there for a birthday dinner and got one of the best services we've experienced! Loved the food (too full to stand up in the end) and even got some dessert on the house with a nice 'Happy Birthday' greeting! We loved our waiter of the night and the red wine (Esk Valley. Hawkes Bay, Syrah) was excellent. Definitely coming back!
Not bad, great location, meals were good
BOTSWANA BUTCHERY, you heard it here first. It was excellent customer service , felt like I was treated like the Queen of England. The first appetiser was the soft shell crab and it was f*#%$/? delicious, it was definitely my fave. The steak had a a Smokey flavour, it wasn’t super soft where it just melts but it was still delicious. Mac n cheese was pretty god damn good, was definitely fancier than your average. The dessert however wasn’t spectacular, the brownie is not your classic moist brownie. It was more crumbly and it was described as very “chocolaty” in the menu but it felt more like a hard caramel slice. But that’s okay hey, was still worth it. Oh on another note their wine servings is pretty worth it. It’s not like a drip of wine for $50000000000 million dollars. They give you a decent pour which made the experience even more fun.
Nice location on the wharf, all the meat dishes were great, a little pricey though
Went here for a work function and loved it so much I had to come back to have it again. Amazing menu, everything is fresh and tastes wonderful with prompt top notch service. Highly recommend the Salmon tartare,. Enjoy!
It is fine dining and food was nice, first time here and the staff is very helpful and did attend to our needs, table of 9. Dishes are nicely presented, a really big drink list with loads of wines. Would come for special occasions.
Had the best steak of my life at this restaurant. I still think about it. It had the most amazing melt in your mouth flavour and didn't have the slightly Metallic flavour that some steaks have. I wish I could remember what kind of steak it was!
Came here for lunch with the family and I got the Botswana Fried Chicken. The chicken was cooked so well and came with potato puree, chicken jus and horseradish slaw. All the flavours went so well and it was such a good quality meal and you could tell it was made with love. The menu has a lot of variety and there is so much to choose from. The service is so good and the ambience is so clean and lovely. I would definitely recommend to come here and I'd be back for sure :)
Wonderful seating arrangements.. especially the outdoor seating.. excellent bar.. and the steaks are super yummy.. done to perfection.. staff can be a bit more responsive to complete the fine dining experience. Starters did not disappoint me either.
Came here for Father’s day with my family and family friends for lunch. My meal was delicious and was presented quite nicely as well, my virgin mojito was delicious and the interior of the restaurant looked amazing and suited the theme of a butchery very well. I’d recommend coming here for dinner instead of lunch though. But still happy with my meal.
First time customer, greeted with a cleaver stuck on the glass door, clever and a standout matching the restaurants theme. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere. If you are lucky with the arm chair..... sink in nicely.
The steaks are cooked perfectly. The dishes are off a generous portion.
The service was brilliant.
All in all a great experience with wonderful company.
Price..... As expected.... At the top end.
We went here for a family dinner, the service and waiter were amazing! The sides and starters were delicious, highly recommend the gyoza. Everyone enjoyed there meal, however one person requested there steak blue and it came out a bit overdone. The manager dealt with this very well and gave us a discount on the steak.
Lovely food, amazing service, & friendly staff. The lovely lady at the till even gave us an umbrella as we were leaving so we could get to our car without getting soaked in the pouring rain! Such a great experience! 10/10 ❤️
Five full star reviews can allude to different scenarios. In this case, it means that I'm absolutely blown away by how good this restaurant was. First off, the steak was tender and delicious, cooked to perfection without being overly raw or over cooked. Also, the decor throughout the restaurant echoes that of a premium, high-end lounge. The cheerful staff also perfectly delivers the wonderful Kiwi hospitality. For those who want to try the authentic Kiwi steak experience, Botswana sure is a great choice (It's also conveniently located right in the Ferry Building) !
If you are looking for an amazing experience with your significant other or to spoil someone on a special occasion this is the place to take them. You are greeted by two friendly ladies (Sam), in fact all the wait staff are friendly and helpful. The have good knowledge of the menu and pairing wines with the food. I have had the Peking duck a number of times and absolutely love it. The flavour are rich and the meat is tender. The chicken liver pate is also a must try. It’s smooth and creamy. I just wish it came with more crostini. I am a big fan of gyoza and couldn’t reside these. They were finished off with a quick hit deep fry which I think finished them off nicely. The meat inside was tender and flavoursome. My husband always has some variation of the steaks they have on offer. The meat is always cooked exactly how he asked for it. Side are ordered additionally. There is an extensive wine and cocktail list. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to spoil someone.
Gorgeous spot, very chic, perfect for special occasions/office dinner & drinks. Second time going, partners birthday this time. Service was stunning and they were so thoughtful for bringing us a complimentary birthday desert. Steak wasn't as melt-in-your-mouth as it was the first time I went, slightly disappointing. That said, it could've been a one off because everything else was delicious. I'd go back again :)
Did not try their main, only the soup. The French onion soup and creamy mushroom soup was good. The service staff was very attentive, warm and friendly. Recommended.
Food is fantastic - the chefs know their stuff. Steak is cooked to perfection, sides are drool-worthy and the selection of sauce is impressive! The table service is lovely and waitresses incredibly attentive. Cocktails are great. Note that if you are travelling from overseas, you need a physical passport to be sat at a table - even if just for food. We were not told about this until we got to the door and told to “run back” to the hotel to get them. Completely happy to comply (it’s the law) but it’s a simple matter of adding this as a note for international travellers to the booking confirmation email, if you have any interest in offering a fine dining experience.
Loveliest dinner we had in Queenstown. Though my wife and I didn’t have a reservation, they kindly seated us in the private room with a fireplace. We ordered the beef tongue and octopus, both of which were very delectable. I had the venison tenderloin and my wife had the salmon. The salmon was buttery with crispy skin, and the venison had an excellent sear that preserved the tenderness. The waitstaff were extremely helpful in guiding us through the impressive menu. Excellent food that’s well worth it and a must try after a long hike or ski run.
an exceptional meal with exceptional service. peking duck for starters was a personal favourite, as was the pork belly.
