We ordered the seafood platter hoping to be amazed by how they handled the fresh kiwi seafood that we've come to love but we were bitterly disappointed. The battered fish was so oily the oil would rise up to the surface of the coating whenever you sliced into it. The mussels were massacred - so overcooked that the shell broke... More

This is a super restaurant in the very popular wharf area of Queenstown. The decor is fresh and bright and the food likewise. The staff are very friendly and, unlike some other restaurants in Queenstown, really go out of their way to make their customers feel welcome. The fish and chips are not to be missed.

This waterfront restaurant situated on Steamer Wharf serves local fresh seafood and grill. If you are lucky, you can watch the Earnslaw departs from outside of the restaurant. You can select a variety of wine from the cabinet on the wall. The seafood platter is a good choice as well as fish ‘n’ chips. It was a little bit noisy... More

Finz was an excellent choice and they had Bluffies!! The salmon was absolutely the best ever and the monk fish was perfectly cooked. If you want a special wine there is another wine list and the waitress was well versed in the selection. Check it out.

An eccellent meal. We shared a seafood platter and found it to be excellent. It is in at a great location at Steamers wharf and it was quite interesting to see coal being loaded into the steamboat while we were enjoying a pre dinner drink. The service was very good and we intend to return in July. The Steamboat was... More

Greetings, We are very pleased that you enjoyed your Finz dining experience. We love having the "Lady of the Lake" just out our front window. She adds a bit of something special to what is already a spectacular view. Please come and see us again on your next visit to Queenstown. Warm Regards, Jason Medina Finz Manager More

You are right on the lake with a nice view. We found the food to be good. We were there on a Saturday night so service was a bit slow but not so much to be annoying.
