What can I say - beautiful building, intimate setting, fantastic service and the best food and to top it if it's walking distance (to use Rathurs Pointers anyway!). Love this place

I was really looking forward to my evening at Gantleys however it did fall short of my expectations. I can see however that this is a nice restaurant for groups and my parents may enjoy the food as it is perhaps what some would call "classic". I found the food to be only average and not very creative. The confit... More

Thanks to Brent and the team at Gantleys. An amazing meal (April 12th) and service for my 30th birthday celebration. Such a magical place - we will be back no doubt!!! Food perfect, service outstanding and a wonderful place. Thanks for the use of the Wine library and the free transfers. Exceptional restaurant and service. The best in Queenstown!

Gantleys organised the taxi to collect us from our appt which was the start of a wonderful night. We all chose the degustation menu with wine and although some might think $150 pp is expensive we thought it represented top of the range food and wine from the region. The staff were excellent and explained that if we wanted to... More

there are no views here and it is a small restaurant. But then the food is excellent. Good wine list and a good waitress.

We had a celebration dinner the the wine library at Gantleys. It is a great setting with magnum bottles to set the scene. Brent is a great host who provides the personal touch and makes you feel comfortable. The food is great and the amazing wine selection, in particular the Gibbston Valley wines makes for a great and memorable evening.

Nice fittings, fixtures and decor plus a wonderful wine cellar. Sadly that's where it finished for us and I do feel slightly intimidated writing a "not so wonderful" review, considering the bouquets of the previous reviews. However, I wish to uphold the integrity of Trip Advisor, and tell it as it was for us We participated in a degustation dinner... More

Whilst it is a little pricey, the service and quality of food is fantastic. My group had run the Shotover Moonlight Marathon the previous day and were in the mood to celebrate - the restaurant and staff made that possible.

There are so many restaurants in Queenstown but Gantleys is my No.1 restaurant. It is a little pricy but is worth every dollar. Excellent foods and services. I will be back in April.

Had wanted to have dinner here for years, but never managed to fit it in!!! On our last night in Qtown had dinner at Gantleys and the food was fantastic. The service was also excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Great selection of wines and great atmosphere in bar for a drink beforehand. Will be back on next visit... More
