Beautiful restaurant with an excellent choice of dishes. I ordered the monkfish on white beans and the sticky date pudding for dessert. Both were very tasty and fresh. The food came out at an average time which was expected for the time of night. The waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend Finz if you are in Queenstown.
Visited this restaurant for dinner. It has 4 or 5 vegetarian options. We had risotto and tomato ragu which were very nice but a bit expensive. The ambience was very nice and staff were attentive.
Probably the best seafood restaurant I’ve ever been to! Would definitely recommend this place.

We just walked in on valentines day
loved fresh oyster as a starter and also the main dishes
Nice location and great food
Staff were very kind but busy
I’ve been living in Queenstown for more than two years and I have visited finz for many times.
I just want to mention that service is great! Staff is friendly, especially the manager of the restaurant Kirk is very helpful. If you don’t have table reserved be sure that you will get it there in 30-40 minutes. If you have some time, you can have drinks at a next door bar, which is nice! Once table at finz is free, the manager will come to find you at the bar and will show you a table.
Staff looks after their customers, and if you want to have delicious food with friendly atmosphere I recommend you to visit this place!
Bluff oysters which they serve are amazing! Try them! :)
Would have given a higher mark but the oysters from Waiheke were a bit stringy and had an aftertaste. The travel from the north island to qtown tooks its toll.
However, the blue cod fish and chips plus house wine (yes, it's just a house wine!) were excellent!
Great service, top location, nice ambience.
Tried this place out because my mom have been wanting to eat salmon for a few days now. When we got there we were seated immediately and she got the last salmon of the day. I on the other hand got the sole with butter sauce. The food were delicious and couldnt stop eating my dish. I loved it!
Super nice service and lakeview. We ordered seafood platter and cocktails. All were fresh with tasty sauces. A little expensive given the portion size. But watching the sunset over a cocktail was amazing.
Nice location by the lake and really nice service throughout the night. A really nice place to just eat and enjoy the bounty of the sea.
Would definitely recommend the crispy prawn entree. Almost like a de constructed prawn salad where the beautifully deep fried prawns are coated with a nice spicy, creamy sauce on lettuce cups. Would go back just for that. Had the whole lemon sole for main and the only problem was that there wasn't enough crumb.
Nicely cooked food prepared to an excellent standard. A place to go to if you like seafood. We went paragliding earlier that day and received a voucher for 1/2 price fish and chips.
This was a really great meal. And I have to report that this was some of the best fish n' chips I've ever had! We selected the cod which was promised to be a meatier less flakey option and it delivered. We all share the NZ green lipped muscles in a white wine cream sauce. So awesome!!!!!!!! Our friends shared the seafood sampler and normally I am very leery of such offerings as they generally lack attention to detail as so many different items are jumbled onto a large plate. Not the case here! It was great and each item was given attention and care. All goo all the way around!
Great service and waitresses were very friendly and helpful! I'm glad they made quick check ins consistently to make sure we are doing well! Food was awesome too, but just a note the seafood chowder tasted unique (nothing wrong but definitely not the ones you tasted in Seattle) and has a little fishy taste.
Overall, lovely restaurant to visit! Seafood was quite fresh :)
Thank you for making our dinner a memorable one. The food was divine😋 Thank you chef👏Also, a special shout out to beautiful Michelle( I think she is from the Phillipine) for your distinctive service especially it was a busy night but you wear that beautiful smile throughout the whole night and make sure we are bring taking care off. You are a STAR and a credit to your company. Also, thank you for the surprise birthday cake and card😍 and the lovely Indian guy ( Manager i think). I highly recommend this place especially if you are a seafood lover.
Great views, great food, great service. Came here to get our fix of seafood with the oysters mussels and crayfish and was not disappointed. The oysters were nice and fat and fresh, the crayfish was super sweet and juicy. Our sever Michelle looked after us the whole night and was terrific at making sure that our experience and the food was fantastic. Thank you for making my birthday celebrations one to remember!
Very good dinner place with seafood. Had the green lips mussels which is very yummy. The pasta was handmade and very good texture and taste as well. Love the chips and the glazed prawns as well. Overall the seafood are fresh. The waitress Nichelle who serve us also very friendly and she is so caring giving us blanket as the weather is cold we sitting outside of the restaurant.
We came by for a lateish dinner (around 2015). It was still quite busy but we were able to get a table without a booking. Their menu unsurprisingly focuses on seafood. The restaurant is located within the Steamer Wharf with entrances both inside the Wharf building and on the lake side.
After mulling over what to get, I ended up going with the seafood spaghetti. The spaghetti had a nice bite to it and the dish had a nice selection of seafood. The dish was quite tasty and easy to eat. I also grabbed a sticky date pudding for dessert and that was also quite tasty.
If you are hankering for seafood, this place is probably the best bet for it. They are always busy so you should book a table if you really want to try it.
Was recommended by a friend, absolutely loved it here. We celebrated our 17year anniversary and got a complementary mocktail. Had a young girl as our waiter very knowledgeable and great service. When we were rushed to our table by a guy at the front and just left to it, was the only down fall
We searched for a seafood restaurant in queenstown on our last night and this place popped up as one of the top searches. And it did not disappoint!
Everything is super fresh especially the sashimi and seared scallop. We were craving for some beef after a long day so we decided to order short ribs despite being in a seafood restaurant, and it was superb too!
We would like to thank Michelle who was our waitress. She was super friendly, attentive and professional making it a delightful evening together with the nice food 😋
My first visit to NZ with my partner and we had a fabulous dining experience with Finz today. The professional hospitality provided by Michelle was impressive. She made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.
Dishes here were also great, seafood was fresh; and we highly recommended the 12-hour slowly cooked beef ribs. Will absolutely recommend this restaurant to my friends.
Was served by Michelle, who was very friendly, attentive and made very good recommendations - very pleased with her service. The resturant had great ambience, overlooking the lake and good vibes. Highly recommended if you are in Queenstown.
We wondered past this place in the afternoon while walking around the town and checked out the menu and thought it looked really good. So later that night we went back to have dinner.
We were greeted by a very friendly staff member called Michelle who seated us outside overlooking the lake and The Remarkables, talk about a table with a view.
The place was very busy but the orders were taken promptly and the food didn't take long at all......Michelle returned regularly to check on drinks etc.
The food was really good, after the main meal Michelle suggested that we should check out the dessert menu , my wife and I shared a tiramisu and my father had the sticky date pudding, both were out of this world!!!
Overall we couldn't fault this place, great good, for view and really good staff, we would highly recommend this place and will be going again for sure.
