well recommended for people who like fine dining
the use of local produce amazing

loved this place! we had dinner here one night and i ordered the angus grass fed eye fillet medium to well - i know...don't scream at me. i have a lot of respect and admiration for chefs who not only cook it the way i've asked for but also cook it amazingly well because from experience, it is not often that this happens. cooking a steak medium to well and having it juicy and tender is not an easy feat!
i was extremely happy with my meal as was my travel partner. everything on the plate was delicious including the potato gratin, mushrooms and jus. the food was faultless. we had a very pleasant andfriendlywaitress, nikki, who ensured the fireplace upstairs was keeping us warm and had a nice chat to us about our stay in queenstown.  even through we were the only ones seated upstairs, she must have come up on at least 10 occasions to make sure we were ok. great management! will definitely go back for dinner again the next time i'm in queenstown. well done!

we rolled into the bunker late-ish on a thursday night having just arrived in queenstown. the place is small so i could see why you'd normally have to book. we got a small table at the rear and there were about 4 other groups already seated.
the place was quite a bit fancier than what we are used to. we were tempted to order the degusation menu but decided on a main and my partner had 2 starters. we had the venison, tempura crab and paua "parcels".
everything was lovely. wonderful flavours and we shared from our plates. the service wasfriendlybut not over the top and the prices weren't too outlandish.
a lovely evening in a really special restaurant

the degusation menu and wine paring is divine, and reflects a level of innovation, attention to detail and expertise that defines culinary excellence. have eaten here a few times and never been disappointed the staff is knowledgeable,friendlyand doesn't rush you through your meal. it's a special place for a memorable occasion. do make a booking, they fill up most nights.

i was lucky enough to be taken to this restaurant by my husband for an intimate dinner out and were not disappointed. it delivered everything we expected and so much more.
i had the venison which was melt in the mouth and accompanying vegetables were just amazing and quite enough without ordering an extra side.
my husband had the pork belly and he loved that too..he could virtually cut the pork with the side of the fork..

the service was exceptional and the waiter was professional andfriendlyall rolled into one. waiter also recommended the type of wine we were after so he knew his stuff.

the brulee and 'pudding' desserts were a perfect finishing touch to the meal.

with only seven tables this is a very intimate restaurant.. you would think a roaring open fire in the middle of summer would not work but it does here..!

you need to book, especially on a weekend or friday night due to the limited tables..

food is to die for, service is almost as good..
everything on the menu looks divine and it is as good as it reads. had the pork and my wife had the venison for mains, beautifully cooked and presented and you don't need additional sides as after three courses you walk out full but not stuffed..
service is very attentive and superfriendlywhich makes a nice change.

if there is a down side it would be the restrooms, they are an after thought..
