vknow restaurant & wine bar

we had booked online, which was an excellent and easy process, and when we arrived were happy to find the place bustling - often the sign of somewhere good. we had browsed the menu online and ordered quickly as we already knew what we wanted. forty five mins after ordering we were asked how things were going and we mentioned we were just waiting on our food. our host came back and told us that with hubby having ordered the lamb shank it would take sometimeas it has to be roasted. once we knew we weren’t forgotten, we were happy to wait. the wait was well worthwhile and the food was just excellent. after we finished our main courses we asked for dessert menus (though again we nearly knew what we wanted and just needed to check). menus were brought promptly but half an hour later we gave in, went and paid our bill and walked to the dairy two doors up and bought ice cream for dessert. shame, because i really would have liked to try the crumble . . . but the wait for service was just too much. shame they couldn’t teach the resident dog to take orders - he was pretty attentive!

firsttimeat vknow and being a local i thought it was going to be great... not so good...
to start with, one of us got a glass with lipstick, not major, but not even a sorry from the owner... then, my apple juice had what it looked like a big mushroom inside. again, not apologizing, i was told that they run out of apple juice and that was a petal from a flower from the night before... sorry, but i didn't buy that one! the portions were a bit small for the prices and the amount oftimewe had to wait for two apple crumbles was unacceptable... not to mention that i was charged the coke i was given to replace my apple juice!

last night was my firsttimeat vknows - a friend had highly recommended it - and i fully agree with him...the hosts, the atmostphere, the food were all excellent!!! i would encourage anyone visiting queenstown to visit this restaurant as you will go away with the most satisfied tastebuds possible. between 4 of us we all tried each others mains, as well shared a 5th main because it sounded so yummy - and they all were - could not fault anything, particularly the service. keep up the great work vknows, you are fantastic!!!
