As fans of Josh, we were keen to try out his new venture in Queenstown. We ordered the Bite menu of cured meats for an entree to share. When it arrived we were quite surprised by the lack of imagination & finesse of the dish, although quite tasty the portions were tiny & the presentation quite amateurish, that we comment on how Josh would have reacted had we served this up to him on an episode of Masterchef! The mains arrived & unfortunately they were both only just luke warm. The Beef fillet was delicious, but the side of mash was cold, and the blue cod was dry. We did mention to the waitress that our food was cold, & they did take off the side dish from our bill. Overall would we return, maybe, but disappointed in the experience.

Visited Prime on 5th May, and while the restaurant was well presented, and the wait staff. The service we received wasn’t the best. Me and my gay partner were served by a gay male who seemed to have an issue with us, and we felt some negative vibes. I ordered a glass of wine, was told we dont stock that. Even though its on the Wine list. after the 3rd request we finally got a glass. His response was he doesn’t normally work there. The meal itself was good. I would recommend eating here. But most of the comments seem to be around the Wait staff.

Wow I can not understand how this place gets these positive reviews. We went once to this place during a public holiday as we hadnt booked early enough at it was the only place that was dead. Probably says something. It a very weird place, Italian meets Seafood restaurant at a lake town, go figure. Everything was very expensive and the servings were really small. There were 6 of us in the party and no one was very impressed with their meal. I got the ravioli which was actually quite nice, and around the $25 dollar make, but it was about 6 pieces of ravioli. There are some great spots in Wanaka, this is definitely not one of them.

We went on a busy Saturday night and were able to get a table. Served by three different waiter/waitresses meant some confusion regarding if we were ordering drinks from one and mains from another. Didn’t order entrees, and had some wait for the mains to arrive. I had the venison – cooked perfectly – but it wasn’t hot like I expected (was warmish). Others at the table ordered steak (rib eye was unavailable??) and it was very good. We didn’t order dessert as we were comfortably full. Prices were a bit expensive. Surroundings were nice. Would have been much better if we had clear communication between waiters, and if meals had come out quicker (and mine was hot!). Would go back again, but only order steaks, and share sides.
