Sunfire Queenstown

It is a lovely lakeside restaurant, and I must say, the food was exceptional. The gnocchi was surprisingly delicious, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The salmon stood out as well, incredibly juicy and tender. The lamb skewers were decent. the seafood was delightful, and the oysters, while ordered by the dozen, were a bit on the mild side. Overall, the food quality was impressive, but what truly stood out was the outstanding service. The staff were attentive and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that perfectly complemented the chill vibe of the lakeside setting. I highly recommend this spot for a delightful dining experience!

After a disappointing experience with the pathetic restaurant across from it, we ventured into Sunfire. Just WOW. Incredible food, the most amazing service and just a beautiful atmosphere. The waitresses offered great suggestions, and always checked in on us. We were delighted to tell the staff that it was our best meal we have had all holiday. I want to thank you all so much for the most magnificent evening. When we come back to Queenstown, we will be dining here the first night, and many more after!!

Luke and Tana went above and beyond. AMAZING service and honestly the most welcoming and nicest servers we have ever had. They were naturally accommodating, charismatic and super attentive. Food and drinks were equally amazing. Delicious and such a treat. Prices as expected for this area. Great restaurant and great food. The sides and entrees are extremely generous so consider that when you order as our eyes were bigger than our stomachs - everything was so tasty though so just took to go! My friend’s birthday was extra special and really appreciated these touches!

We visited Sunfire on last night in Queenstown during our ski trip. We didnt have reservation but managed to get the last table walking in. Our waiter recommended some items - We enjoyed the small plates Prawns. It was cooked in a creamy sauce with puff rice, which gives quite an interesting texture. Took some time for the sirloin to arrive on our table. The sirloin was decent and good, but wasn’t amazing. The side of truffle fries came very late, but was tasty. We ordered some white wine which are great, too. Overall the meal was excellent and we enjoyed the meal. Good value considering it is in prime touristy spot. Table seating was comfortable. Staff was polite and helpful. Would return to try other items if we were to visit Queenstown again!

I loved that it was an open kitchen, so we could watch the chefs cook — such a nice touch! Most of all, the food was incredibly fresh and delicious. The clam chowder wasn’t too salty and had a clean, rich flavor. The steak was absolutely amazing — just one bite brought out its savory, buttery tenderness. And the oysters were so fresh, flavorful, and perfectly briny. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!
