styx and stone

always have pasta or rib eye steak here. never had any issues with our meal. service is okay a bit slow with serving but nothing major. nice place forlunchor catch up dinner.

arrived here very late and the staff were able to take our dinner order which was excellent.  wer here with a big crowd and the staff were very accommodating.  food was good, not outstanding, but wouldn't complain.  looking forward to coming forlunchsoon.

this is a place we love to stop at forlunchwhen coming into christchurch for the day. the $10 lunches are great value for money and i have never seen the restaurant empty. now that tells you something on its own. weh and meet friends here for dinner a couple of times and the only complaint would be it can get really hot in the upstairs setting area.

drove into chch yesterday to meet friend and do a bit of shopping after a quick lunch. weather terrible so met at northwood and decided to havelunchfirst. friend had been before and as i decided to have the beef nachos, recommended i ask for a half size meal as portions very generous. well she was right, even half size was more than ample, great taste, lovely and filling and generous with the cheese and other toppings and not too many corn chips which can sometimes be the bulk of the meal. my friend had the grilled chicken wrap which is a favourite of hers and once again didn't disappoint. salad filling was so crisp and fresh and she said very filling, she didn't eat all the chips that came with the meal. we ended up staying longer than anticipated as atmosphere was lovely and cosy, and outside was not!! the staff were attentive and asked during the meal, and as they cleared the plates if everything had been okay with our meal. we finished off with a coffee each and flagged the shopping. will be going back and perhaps try the dinner menu next time. would recommend as a great place to catch up forlunchas the variety was great and as just out of town, didn't have to grapple with the traffic.

my mother and i thought we would go out for a nicelunchbut it ended up being anything but nice. the service was extremely poor, once our meals were served no one came back to ask how they were or if we would like another drink. the meals were very average and my mother actually had to try and politely put a mouth full into a serviette as she was unable to eat a huge gristly piece of beef. there was also a girl who was vacuuming whilst there were customers and you can just imagine how annoying that got. we ended up being one of the last people dining and we were made to feel as though we needed to eat quickly and leave. all of the employees just stood round talking about their sex lives and being extremely unprofessional. i would never ever go back. extremely disappointing!!

shocking customer service, it's like they aren't interested in their customers enjoying theirlunchexperience.

having made a booking we waited 10 minutes to be seated and were only seated after approaching a member of staff to request a table.

the meals took an hour to come out after two reminders to the waiting staff. what were they doing? fish and chips, nachos and a salad don't take an hour to prepare!

complaining to the member of staff that claimed to the owner, she didn't seem to mind that she would have six unhappy customers walking out so long a she got her money. still not sure if she was actually the owner as i've not come across a business owner that cares so little about customer feedback.

never again.

had a $10lunchof open chicken souvlaki, which was good value and very tasty. also had an chicken blt at $15 which was excellent, lots of flavour. went there for expecting much for that price but were pleasantly surprised. had dessert which was excellent. service reasonably good, they were quite busy. will return.

after visiting christchurch for the weekend we found this delightful bar & restaurant, we both had the stone grill and it was fantastic, went back the next day on the way home for the $10lunch- wow what great value!! we would recommend that you try it - we really enjoyed it and the staff were very friendly

went for the $10lunchdeal.
couldn't sit where you wanted made us sit in a dark corner even though most the seating by the windows were empty the whole time we were there.

40 minutes to get an open chicken sandwich...

drinks they forgot twice to serve us....

staff are more interested in talking to them selves behind the bar....

overall couldn't recommend this place to anyone.

i'll be back! just keep the quality of your seafood chowder as high as it was when i was there forluncha couple weeks ago! it was a lovely meal, friendly service and speedy! good value, too.

having just hadlunchthere today i would rate it as the worst dining experience ever. we eat out alot both here and overseas and i could not beleive today'slunchexoerience. firstly we waited just over an hour for six stonegrill meals. an hour is excessive given that it was 2pm (that was the only time we could book a table for) and that the meals consisted of a few limp lettuce leaves, some minute warm 'roast' potatoes and a piece of raw meat...no cooking and not even fries. okay-so the stonegrill meals- i had surf n turf 2 small mussells, two small cooked prawns,a scallop white (no roe) and if you put your thumb and forefinger together that was how big the piece of steak was...i took a photo. dh had the tasting sg and basically had what i had only his piece of steak was three times the size and a decent size piece of pork as well. another tasting sg was the same. son had turf which was a piece of steak which obviously had been sitting for awhile as it had cooked well oon one side.daughter had the chicken sg- 4 cubes of chicken between two skewers and small portion of rice that was so hard that not only was it inedible but you couldn't 'cut' it. i actually felt sorry for the wait staff having to serve it. spoke to the duty manager who knocked our drinks off the bill (big deal as not a huge amount).value for $15 per sg??? i would rather pay $28 and have a real meal. we have all eaten again after leaving the restaurant.horrid horrid horrid experience and i cannot understand why people keep going back.
