First time trying crayfish and I love it! It was really meaty, seasoned well and I really enjoyed the truffle fries as well. Staff are super lovely too!
I had dinner here and found the service was very friendly. The waitress was lovely at entertaining us and talking to us. The food took awhile to come out, which was slightly disappointing but worth the wait. I got the venison cooked rare and I really enjoyed the dish.
The venison itself was tender and had a nice flavour to it. The fig sauce and the beetroot added a bit of sourness to the dish, which I really loved as it added an unique flavour to it. The mashed potato with peas on top and truffle was buttery and delicious, it literally melts in your mouth and the pea added a bit of sweetness to the potato. It is a beautiful dish and I highly recommend it.

Stumbled upon this cozy restaurant while walking around the little streets of queenstown . The "famous captain's chowder" is indeed famous from reading the reviews, and it sure didn't disappoint, in fact i just couldnt help but come back for more just before i had to fly back home. I've tasted a fair amount of seafood chowders and i must say that this is the best one yet. The chowder had ample amount of seafood and was very rich and creamy yet not at all off-putting after having a few spoonfuls.đ Also tried the prawn tagliatelle which was superb, having it tossed in a crayfish bisque made it extra special. In my thoughts one of the best, if not, the best as well. Lamb rack and Slow-cooked pork ribs were also very good.
Service was excellent both times we visited. We asked to be seated outside despite the freezing weather to enjoy the queenstown night vibe, they didnt fall short of ensuring we're nice and comfortable by offering us blankets and checking every once in a while if we are okay.
Dined at Captains Restaurant twice - loving the Captains seafood chowder. Unforgettable. The lamb rack was also a highlight - soft and juicy. Both touristy atmospheric outdoor and cosy indoor dining were enjoyable. Staff were very friendly, provided us blankets while we dined outside admiring the view.

Warm atmosphere. The service was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered the scallops, fish of the day and venison. The foods were all delicious, especially the medium-rare venison was beautifully done! Overall a very enjoyable experience.
One of the restaurants that stands out along mall street with a relatively large outdoor seating.
Ordered the pan-seared scallops, NZ green-lipped mussels, and ribeye steak.
The scallops came in three portions, nice sear, firm texture, great taste combined with the other ingredients, the small piece of crispy prosciutto was a delight to this dish.
The green-lipped mussel size is larger than a regular mussel, serving portion was good, and comes with two thick slices of toasted ciabatta. If you love seafood, get this.
The ribeye steak was very nicely seared, even finished off with what looks like aromatic garlic butter on the steak, served with a choice of sauce and a pinch of caramelized onions on the side. Safe to say this is one of the best steaks in town, tender and cooked evenly throughout, that aromatic finisher on top of the steak probably contributed the difference in flavour, no sauce needed.
For the quality of food this restaurant is surprisingly quite and empty, the pricing is reasonable as well, we had seafood platter which is very nice, and we had some of the best oysters we ever had, it's these special ones you can only get in New Zealand apparently, very sweet and juicy. Would recommend.
A cost place, nice environment. Good range of breakfast and lunch options both available. Great mocha and mushrooms. Had the seafood chowder and big breakfast.
This place is a bit underrated - the food is beautiful, but didn't get as much attention as other diners in queenstown central thus no queue. I highly recommend the seafood chowder and seafood platter.
A very nice fine dining restaurant with a hint of the newzealander touch in the dishes offered. Entirely loved my dining experience.
Everything is on point - Ambience,environment,Taste of the dishes,presentation,cleanliness in the place,portion sizes,very patient and helpful restaurant staff and what not.One word to describe this place would be A LITTLE WONDERđđđ
Would definitely recommend this place.
Beautiful food! Great recommendation on portions. We walked in Without reservations but managed to be arranged to share table with another couple. Seafood platter has everything to try and taste great! Cary fish is done tender but chewy. Oysters are fresh. Prawn has cooked with an unique chili sauce, Absolutely Love it! The champagne recommended is also just nice. Professional but friendly services. Strongly recommended!
This is my favourite store. I will book seats every time I come. Seafood is delicious. The portion is very large. The waiter is very enthusiastic. The environment is very good.
This place is absolutely outstanding.
After being turned away by many places, being tourists and not realising you need to make bookings, we went for a walk looking for a place with availability. Captains was oddly quiet, so they had plenty of space to seat us for the evening. Every staff member went above and beyond, the cocktail list was amazing, the food was delicious. I recommend everyone given it a chance.
Danish apple cake cocktail, was the most delicious cocktail. It was dessert in a cup. 10 out of 10
I'd you're in queenstown, definitely have a meal or a few here.
The atmosphere at Captains was amazing not to mention the crew were fast, super friendly and intelligent. If youâre lucky like me youâll get Sebastian as your server who ensures all your needs are met timely and also quips his own genuine opinions and is also very knowledgeable of the menu.
Good selection of fish and stake dishes. Our salmon and stake were perfect cooked. TOP notch service. Just one small thing, please use a smaller pinch of salt on the calamari will be perfect ( itâs abit salty on our ).
Lovely atmosphere with the accordion player and the lake near by!
Food was delicious and service was fast and friendly. Hot drinks also very yummy!
Only suggestion is to update your high chairs as theyâre a little lacking with safety.
This is our second day in Queenstown , didn't know that it's a public holiday in town, many restaurants were closed . This restaurant is a very popular place here in downtown. The service is really good, staff are friendly and helpful. The food we have ordered are nice and good taste . Steak , lamb and seafood chowder are excellent. A good experience.
Good:
1) excellent service. Kept refilling water without having to ask.
2) Seafood chowder. Every mouthful has some seafood. Served with some toasted bread.
Not so good:
1) portion - small
2) sides, sauces at extra charges.
3) Not value for money.
4) steak, too salty; lamb too mushy.
5) Slow serving on a weekend in Dec.
6) Music too loud.
Conclusion:
Will still go back but wonât eat steak and lamb. Maybe will try something else. Thereâs something about this place that makes you want to go back and try other food.
We couldnât find this gem of a restaurant. Their fantastic staff came and found us. We had an amazing meal (crayfish+steak) delicious. So happy with their service and food, we had lunch a few days later. Once again the meal and service was top notch. Would definitely recommend it for lunch or dinner. You wonât be disappointed
What a surprise! We were looking for hot mulled wine all over the place, guess what captain has made our dream come true! Your hot mulled wine is the bomb! So nice to drink this 5c temperature weather! Other good also so delightful! Thank you!
