My companion and I chose Mackenzies for our first dinner in Queenstown as we’re staying at the Heritage. We noticed that it’s been a while since a review so here is an update.
The menu is simple and provides enough of a range to suit anyone’s pallet. There’s a dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu and, they can cater to dietary requirements although best to speak with the Maître De / Restaurant Manager about what can be accommodated.
We had the Baked Feta and Crispy Chicken options from the Entrée menu, alongside sides of mash potatoes and roast vegetables. This was a great amount of food for 2 people. We also had room for desert and the lava cake is recommended. I was able to obtain a cream-free option as I am lactose-intolerant.
I can’t rate the staff service enough. A special appreciation goes to Yuka whose service and standards are fantastic. The chef was also great - which goes to show that it’s not always about it going perfect but the people who can help out when something doesn’t go quite right. All in all, would recommend dining here for dinner!
We LOVED it here. First real good meal we had in New Zealand lol. Had the pumpkin soup of the day, was so satisfying and seasoned really nicely. Also had the steak, which was just absolutely bang on. The lamb was insanely delicious also. I would however avoid the desserts, but it didn't take from the whole experience (seriously though, please don't call your cheesecake a japanese souffle cheesecake if it's not cooked like a souffle cheesecake, had my hopes up 🥲). Jokes aside, amazing service and savoury food. Thanks for a great meal
Every dish we ordered was absolutely exceptional and our waiter was so friendly and hospitable. We ordered the seafood chowder, Mackenzie's salad for entre, porkbelly and zucchini risotto for mains followed by the most magnificent peanut butter ice cream cake.
Great atmosphere, great service, delicious food - would 10/10 recommend dining in if staying at the gorgeous Hertiage Hotel in Queenstown. Well worth it!
