We arrived in blenheim after lunch walked into town looking for food. We ended up at cornerstone and had an awesome late lunch of smoked salmon and a nice cold glass of wine. We went back for dinner lovely service. We also went for breakfast on day 2 as many places are not open early in Blenheim...lovely nice coffee.

The food was average we had beer chicken which was a bit like getting charcoal chicken. The wine was good and the staff are fairly friendly.

Great ambience, very customer friendly staff and good food. We went there for dinner and decided to come back for breakfast the next day. No regrets! All the best for the girl who had her first day on the job - well done - we enjoyed your service!

The Marlborough district of New Zealand has beautiful scenery, great wines but the restaurants here clearly something to learn. Their food is very average and service usually supplied by transient backpackers is not fantastic and they really know how to charge, it makes me wonder if any Kiwis both to eat out given the exorbitant prices. We ordered the rack... More

We had breakfast in this restaurant and it was very good. We then had to return for dinner as on a Sunday evening it's hard to find anywhere to eat in Blenheim. We enjoyed our dinner too, and it wasn't a bad price either.

We were starving so we opted to go here because we could be seated right away. The food was just ok, not bad but nothing too special, but the service... More

My wife and I popped in for lunch and a drink one afternoon. The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. The food was good (I had the fish and chips, my wife the chicken caesar salad). No complaints, thanks!
