Being in a red meat mood we were pleased to get a table at Prime. The lake side tables were all pre-booked but we still had a pretty good view of the sunset from our seats.
Our waitress was really friendly and that rare creature in Queenstown – a Kiwi. She suggested we share some entrees because we couldn’t decide what to have so we had a couple of platters of wings, prawns, squid and other bits and pieces, as well as the most divine garlic bread ever.
I had the filet mignon and it was so tender I could have eaten it with a spoon. My brother had the beef rib and he looked like Fred Flintstone eating it – not that he managed to eat the whole thing.
My partner ordered the pork belly and that was so meltingly gorgeous he had to protect it from being demolished by the rest of us.
Too stuffed for dessert but the cheesecake has my name on it for next visit.

Prime restaurant was a delicious treat. The service was great and the food was cooked perfectly. The sticky ribs for a starter were amazing but I’d recommend sharing them between two people. For mains we had the Crispy Pork Belly and a Venison steak, both cooked excellently. I loved the Crispy Pork and will e going back to the restaurant just for that! We had a chocolatey dessert, which was perfect after the meal. Overall I thought it was great and very friendly I’m looking forward to going back.

A large group of us went to Prime on Sat night. I had a lovely steak and the service is very good. However,one of the staff members walked through the restaurant wet (like she had jumped in the lake) and then went into the woman’s restrooms and proceeded to wash her hair saturating the floor and toilets. I thought this absolutely disgusting and dangerous as one of us could of slipped on the wet floor. I thought this was a classy restaurant..NOT!! I ordered wedges and wandered why they tasted bland..the reason, I saw an empty McCain’s packet by the kitchen. How lazy is that! So my overall experience is I don’t think it is worth the price of their meals. Shame really as my first experience was a good one!
