We stumbled onto this brewery and immediately we found ourselves in a conversation with the owners who discovered that we were recently engaged. They brought over a complementary bottle of champagne and gave us many tips about traveling the south island. This place is totally awesome! Great beer and a cool vibe. Phil, make sure you list this under Bar on Yelp too- it can expand the search results. Cheers!! Sol

On my penultimate day in New Zealand before heading back to Seattle, I wanted to have some lamb. I…read moresearched high and low on yelp, tripadvisor, and google and found 3 restaurants with potential. The first was out of business, the second offered a hot stone, so you can cook your own lamb (no thanks, I'm out to eat, please have the trained chef cook my food) and Lone Star. Knowing its Texas influence, I was worried that my vegetarian wife would be left eating salad. Nope, there were four vegetarian "mains" and none were devoid of nutrients (aka pasta and veggies). I chose Lone Star. We were seated quickly by an upbeat host and asked to sit in the corner table, to which he obliged. Our server was friendly and down to earth and we got mushrooms and a salad for a starter and the mushrooms were delish! The salad also hit the spot. For mains, I got the lamb shoulder with mashed taters and asparagus, peas and spinach mixed together. It was aesthetically pleasing and I had the runner load up my potatoes with fresh cracked pepper. My wife's burger was HUGE and the chips (fries) were plentiful. We had 2 large Diet Cokes with lotsa ice and a pitcher of water, not a little carafe that I can drink in 3 gulps. The desserts looked great, including Hokey Pokey ice cream, but we passed. Our bill was $88 NZD ($59 USD). Well worth it. I met the manager after and he was a pleasure and I could tell he was taking care of the business.

The waitstaff is amazing- the ambience is full of life, the food and wine variety is inclusive, gourmet and very elegantly put together. The bread is warm- DELISH! I got the vegetarian cauliflower entree and boy it was outstanding with the caramelized mushrooms and onions and the beautiful but potent balsamic glaze. The coffee based turkish dessert was a tad heavy and tad too sweet (I know dessert is supposed to be sweet So technically this is on me) but relative to the sugar levels in other restaurants, this one surprised me. Nonetheless- delicious!

Absolutely delicious and open on Mondays! Every meal looked great and the whole table was happy.read more
