My wife and I had dinner one night, and then next day, a late lunch at Captains Restaurant…read more Our first night in New Zealand, we were just walking around Queenstown area, and the restaurant was very close to our hotel. Restaurant looked very inviting and the service people seemed very nice. We only wanted quick 'starters' at Captains, my wife had her Seafood Chowder (a bit too salty) and I had NZ Mussels - she diluted her chowder soup with some of the sauce from my Mussels and it tasted very good then. Next day, my niece and her husband flew in from Wellington to see us for about 8 hours before returning. After a cruise, we went to Captains again for a late lunch. My wife and I ordered the same thing as previous night - so good to get FRESH NZ mussels instead of the frozen ones that we normally eat back in the States! Seafood Chowder was still a bit salty for our taste, so once again, it was 'diluted'. My niece and her husband had Fried calamari with fries and salad, and Lamb Ribs. We all shared a little of our food with each other, and all the food was very tasty. Since it wasn't overly busy at that hour, we stayed and chatted a bit, though we did tell the staff that, and they didn't have a problem with that. All in all, the food was very good and the staff was super-nice and friendly. Restaurant centrally located.

Googled: Seafood: Crawfish: Queenstown…read more A reservation was required, but due to a cancelation, we were able to secure a table later in the evening. During the wait, we grabbed drinks at a nearby brewery, working up an appetite. Once seated, we ordered the seafood platter (188NZ$ for two)- offering variety including: oysters, smoked salmon, crawfish, prawns, and fresh garlic bread. A hearty platter, it filled the bellies, with fresh tasty, well-seasoned eats- though it was not the most impressive seafood we've had in NZ, though the highest price tag (blame the crawfish)- had we not wanted to try crawfish, we wouldn't have dined at the location-and that would be my referral-try them to try crawfish at a decent price, but otherwise-passable. Though super friendly staff, who took time to talk NZ Gin with me, making recommendations for drinks.

When we asked our waiter why the delay, she brushed us off by saying, it's on it's way. She did not check with the kitchen. Other customers who arrived after us were already eating their meal. We had to asked a man, presumably the manager who actually asked the kitchen. He came back with some excuse or other, but our meal arrived soon after. Today staff seem to take no responsibility. The mussels were expensive for a dozen but tasted juicy. Gone are the days when you order a pot of mussels, you actually get a pot brimming full of mussels. Now it is by the dozen!

The interior was rustic, spacious, with a warm and comforting ambiance. I wanted to try a little of everything, so ordered the Flame Mixed Grill ($67 NZ), which consisted of famous Ribs, grilled Sirloin Steak, Boerewors Sausage, rotisserie Peri Peri Chicken, along with roasted baby potatoes with sour cream. This took awhile to come out, but it was worth it! Ribs were sticky in a bold, smoky, tangy, savory BBQ sauce. The meat was delightfully tender. Steak was cooked perfectly, succulent, and well seasoned. Sausage was slightly charred and quite juicy, paired wonderfully with flavorful chimichurri. Chicken was not really my favorite, as I found it lacked flavor and was a bit dry. Potatoes were soft and pillowy that worked nicely with the creamy sour cream, but only 3 small ones. Service was solid. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was tasty and it was a lovely, hearty feast of a dinner!
