NZ has great fresh food and lamb is one of our signature dishes. A recent lamb meal at Tatler was very disappointing. The lamb was tough and not "well" cooked. While the staff were attentive on the evening they had over looked an earlier request for a private table as we were celebrating a family birthday. This was overall disappointing... More

As mentioned by others I find spruikers outside a restaurant a real put-off. However this place was probably the best meal I ate in 4 days in Queenstown. The venison was very good, not overcooked and well accompanied. Also the triple dessert was great. I thought the staff quite attentive and was asked if my meal was satisfactory. The wine... More

We loved the ambience, the service was top notch and the food is superb, my meal arrived with the vegetables not quite hot, I told the waitress and it was replaced in a trice not questions asked and profuse apologies offered and accepted. Highly recommend this restaurant. More

We dined with friends at Tarler on a sunday evening. Our waiter was shocking ( didnt want to be there) we had to ask for the specials, then he read these from a scrap of paper he took form his pocket, my meal was cool and the venison was incrediably tuff. We ordered wine and he poored away from the... More

Firstly the waiters calling out on the street was a little offputting, almost as if they are desperate for the custom - then the menu - how confusing! we went for lunch but the menu being like a magazine it took a while to find the right page. When my food arrived after a while waiting i was very dissapointed... More

I recently went to Tatler as part of a group and we had the Spectator room upstairs as our group dinner venue. Everything about the night was amazing! The upstairs room with private balcony perfectly suited our group for the night. The service was top notch, the drinks were great and especially as we had a private bar upstairs. The... More

My husband and I have just spent four days in Queenstown and had dinner at Tatler two nights. They serve Bluff oysters in a tempura batter. It's the lightest batter possible. The oysters are just warm inside. We find most people over cook them. They were delicious. We found the service to be great and the prices reasonable. Would always... More

Any place that needs sprukers outside to get you in the door all day and night tells me they are struggling. Everytime you walk past you are hounded by them. We decided one day to have a drink and look at the menu. I asked for a house sparking wine and they gave me Verve for $19 a glass......the menu... More

We opted to have breakfast at Tatler Restaurant, midweek. The silver haired guy behind the bar was grossly disorganised and the alarm bells should have rung for us then, especially when he failed to make eye contact. After waiting nearly half an hour for breakfast to be served to us we opted to leave. Interestingly the two other customers ahead... More
