We came by for dinner at Carnegies as we stayed nearby, unfortunately for us it was Xmas season and the kitchen was packed with orders and overall the team was short staffed, food took quite a while to arrive (1.5 hours or so).
That said it was likely not the usual expectations of service just a bad luck on timing, the staff were highly apologetic and to be fair they did also caution us on long wait times.
I am giving 5 stars for the really good service and food, the steak is pretty good being juicy and well charred with a good amount of sides, same can be said of the lamb and burgers.
Amazing food, the steak was cooked perfectly. Really good-sized meals. Fantastic service with the perfect desert to finish the night.
It was quiet when we arrived, and we weren’t sure if it was going to be good but it was actually delicious. The service was excellent and we ate every single bit of our food including dessert! Highly recommend if you’re in town.
Very delicious food, made to perfection. If you are in town, must eat here.
It was a delight to do a walk in after on a Sunday evening, when the place was already packed to the brim. Flushed faces from the staff told me the southern hospitality was in full swing & I knew we were in for a treat! Go see for yourself the menu, prices and experience the friendly staff because the food is so worth it. I had the lamb 😋 10/10
Far Out! Best lamb and ribs ever. Fast, fresh & delicious; very generous portions. Efficient friendly staff.
Wow, what a great experience from superb service, delicious food and excellent atmosphere. Sitting barside you see first hand the skill, soul and effort put into every dish 😍. The head chef kindly shared his advice to utilise a wood fired oven in so many ways to prepare many delicious dishes 👍😋
We had delicious dinner outdoors at Carnegie’s. The roast lamb was tender and tasty. The lamb and blueberry pizza was delicious. The service was authentic and friendly. We had to wait a while for our food to arrive but it was worth the wait. Nice eclectic modern decor inside.
Had dinner here while we were staying in Lake Tekapo. Nice ambience and great food.
Great restaurant and even better food, had to pop my pants button as we ate way to much. Generous servings and wonderful flavors. Staff were also very friendly and knowledge about the various options on their menu.
