Peaks Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in South Island

I was staying at the Scenic with my partner and we got back late from a day of exploring and were looking for restaurant options and she found Peaks online and as it's Scenics restaurant and we didnt have to travel we thought we would try.

I had the chicken parma with mash and a salad all of it was delicious.

My partner had the lambshank which came in a bowl cooked with a pastry top with mash, gravy and seasonal vegetables underneath the pastry top. This was the star dish and was absolutely incredible. The flavors were amazing, lamb tender and serving size extremely generous.

We ended the night with chocolate fondant and berry compote which was a yummy sweet end to an evening of high quality food and attentive waiters.

I would love to dine here again if we had more time in...

It was very hard to find, not a restaurant at all, we were seated in the reception area of the hotel where the bar was. Service from waitress not bad, she tried. The food was terrible, seafood chowder was watery, one prawn, one muscle and the rest soup mix. Fish was burnt, and you couldn’t see or taste the so called mushroom sauce on the steak which was not cooked to the request. Waitress asked if we wanted mushrooms, replied yes and waited 15 to 20 minutes for a small bowl of 4 or 5 mushrooms to come out, the steak was done by then. We got charged for3 chowders instead of 2, such a hassle to get the refund. Would not recommend this...

Absolutely terrible food. We unfortunately ate their meals twice during our stay, not realising the room service to our apartment was also provided by them. The children’s meals were all spicy, half of the salad meals are just pickles and big thick pieces of carrot (the length of an actual carrot!), the mushroom risotto was inedible due to a huge amount of saffron and the strongest cheese overpowering the whole dish, and the fresh seasonal vegetables were over seasoned vegetables swimming in a full bowl of oil. Night 1 - Group of 12 room service - 4 guests ..... and not one person could stomach their meal out of...
