We had been looking forward to tasting the new season bluff oysters and the Wakatipu Grill certainly delivered. Beautifully presented and wonderful to eat. We followed with a perfectly cooked pink lamb rack. The wine list is impressive. Recommended.

We ate here our first night stay at The Hilton and it was pretty good. We were early so we had a few drinks to wait for the kitchen to open. The outside seating by the bar is a beautiful spot, especially if it isn't to busy. The food was great quality, very fresh. The menu seemed kind of limited...

We had two breakfasts at Wakatipu Grill and both were very tasty and nicely presented. Stuff was really nice and welcoming.

Unfortunately we weren't aware that we should have made a reservation so like most of the people there we were shunted out onto the terrace. There were heaters but they weren't able to compete with the freezing cold wind blowing in through the blinds and floor boards. So we sat there looking in at the empty warm restaurant – only...

We stayed at the Hilton and went to the Wakatipu Grill on our last night. The restaurant was very impressive walking in but unfortunately we were seated outside on a rather chilly night as all seats inside we taken. There were heaters which was good but there were bugs everywhere - throughout the night we had to swat away moths...

The breakfast buffet is like no other, massive selection and really good for a buffet. Beautiful views of the lake, I would imagine it would be awesome on a sunny morning

Dear aussie_si,
thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
I'm glad that you enjoyed your overall breakfast experience and I can confirm that is indeed spectacular to enjoy breakfast on our outside terrace. Not only on sunny days allows our heating system guests to make use of those seatings, even on rainy or colder mornings....

We had a very nice meal at the Grill we received 20% off our bill through the accomodation so this made it very good value. The service was good and the meal was very good with a great show off of New Zealand Meat.
We were only given a wine list and had to ask if other drinks were available...

The view from our table was amazing, it looked directly over the lake. We enjoyed our meals but what really made it stand out was how brilliant our waiter was, David looked after us and he made sure we had a good evening. He recommended good dishes, made sure we were enjoying our evening and came over for a chat....

The ambient was good. Our waiter was so friendly and suggested us wines and dishes. We had had to wait too long to get our dinner. Despite this, the taste of the suggested dishes (lamb in pastry) was excellent.
