We tried both and lunch for 15 nzd is well worth it and a good place for your lunch break. The dinner is also really good and worth the money. For dinner it is better to make a booking before you go there and wait... ;)

This place is pretty big bucks but worth every cent we'd say. We went twice and the food was superb both times. We love the tiger prawns in Rattlesnake sauce, its almost a meal in its self. The sauce is to die for! Steaks here are great also. I am a bit of a purist and typically hate having my... More

My Husband and I were craving a good steak and we automatically headed to Flame as we could smell the aroma coming from there across the street. We had a great steak lunch, great service, and prompt. Very good value too. Would definitely return when at QT next

Went back to this place after an amazing meal there last year, so had high expectations, but was disappointed. We made a booking but decided to come early to have a couple of drinks at the bar first. There were few people there and we were offered a table immediately which seemed a bonus. However after ordering entrees (and saying... More

Very good food and atmosphere. Acres of meat with barely a 'green' in sight. Service was good however the waiters were touched arms, backs and shoulders to the point that it was noticeable .

Had a large group on a sat night, restaurant was full. Staff were amazingly helpful and efficient. Our meals came out with perfect timing, they were hot a good size and so yummy. No one in our group (24) could fault their meal or service. Couldn't recommend more highly.

A chilly & wet autumn evening proved a perfect night for a meal at Flame. We arrived on a very busy Friday night without a booking & hoped for the chance for a table. We were greeted promptly & within minutes were amazingly seated a table for two. Even though they were fully booked, we were explained our options, hence... More

We both had the 15 dollar calamari lunch and it was delicious. Really top quality. Great seasoning and excellent side salad. We also ordered a bowl of fries which had an excellent tasty coating. Friendly staff and fairly prompt service. Would definitely eat here again.
