Copper Wine Bar and Cafe — Restaurant in South Island

unfortunately one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had. it took us over an hour to recieve our meals which were missing half the ingredients as they had 'sold out' of half of the food on the menu despite being one of only a handful of tables in the restaurant. not a single thing was seasoned, vegetables were boiled with no salt, fish with no seasoning or sauce. the one positive was the lovely waitress who was extremely remorseful for what we were served yet was there alone with noone to help her whilst struggling with the many obvious challenges. the pricing was extremely high for what was served, even if the portions had not been reduced. one piece of cold brocoli and half a carrot alongside half of a fish fillet for 36 dollars is unbelievable. a small reduction of 14 dollars off an over 200 dollar bill to compensate for the experience. suffice to say we did not stay for dessert and were glad we didn't order starters. recognizing the place is very new to dinner service, we hope there are some rapid and significant improvements made before we would even consider recommending this to anyone else.

We had a great evening, and I am happy to...

We had an unfortunate experience dining at Copper. We booked a first table, only to realise on arrival that the menu was different to what they had advertised on First Table. Not to mention the menu for all 3 of us was one single printed piece of paper that had things crossed off and prices changed. No drinks menu.

We ordered two pizzas and the tacos. The pizzas were terrible, thin and over floured with no taste, badly melted cheese and sauce tasted store bought. The tacos weren't much better. The hot chips were alright.

Overall the experience was not good and we won't be coming back. Also while writing this review almost all of the dishes google asked me to select to recommend on here don't exist on the...
