Review Edgewater Restaurant - Taupo

The restaurant looks up market, the moment you escorted inside. There is a real feeling of quality. We were greeted by staff who genuinely engaged with us and who clearly were out to provide great service and attention to detail. They succeeded. The menu detailed a small range of tasty sounding dishes, and our selections were beautifully cooked and presented. Price wise the cost is up there with the best, but to be fair you do get something that is prepared to your order. My venison was simply on the money for taste and presentation. The setting is stunning. We were seated in a full sized picture window that presented gorgeous views of the setting sun disappearing behind the hills on the western side of the lake. Almost surreal, and quite a component of a great night out. So was it good value? Well when you consider the setting, the professionalism of the staff, the beautiful food that pointed to talented kitchen staff, you'd have to say yes. A great experience for a special occasion.

Had a beautiful romantic evening here and the food was devine. The view was exquisite.

Nice quiet restaurant on the lakefront with beautiful sunset views. Small but well thought out menu. All the food we had was delicious (we had salmon and lamb). To get to the restaurant you go through the front doors of the hotel. We had a window seat which did have great views but quite hot in the sun.

Nice restaurant across the road from where we stayed at the Phoenix Resort. Prime location & very highly recommended.

We stayed at the hotel and had dinner at this hotel restaurant. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long for it. The view of the lake from our seats was beautiful.

Food was great, lovely scenery, we experienced very good service from all of the staff. Had the fish of the day with some chips and a very nice pea dish. Very cozy place, see this place if you are ever in the area.

A classy restaurant with a lovely view. A bit pricey but well worth the money. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS and the service was excellent. Overall a very pleasant surprise on our holiday. We had a lovely night. Thank you!

What a lovely place to have lunch and a glass of champagne, spectacular view, great service and the food was excellent. Deffinatly going again.

Meals were pleasing to the pallet. As a group celebrating our sons belated 30th birthday, we are extremely impressed by the attentiveness of the staff and quality of the food. We had our 1 year old twin grandchildren with us and although not the best idea for such a fine dining restaurant the management didn't once make us feel bad about it. Overall the best all round service. Thank You...

Absolutely beautiful experience! Loved every moment, such a stunning setting, food and service were top class! The ducks loved it too.
