Lombardi Restaurant

Spectacular view, very friendly service, beautiful and delicious food.

Wow, what an experience..... We had booked Lombardi's (used to have a great reputation)months in advance of our trip to Queenstown and re-confirmed just 2 days prior to our dinner that was meant to be our 50th birthday celebrations, to find when we arrived that they had no knowledge of our booking. I showed the gentleman at the front of house our confirmed email booking. His answer to this was, well you cant have a table at the window.....Not that we had requested one anyway.....It went downhill from here but it was pretty funny.He headed to an empty table at the window with a cloth to wipe down the table where he lifted the salt and pepper grinders, cleaned under them and left the rest of the table not cleaned and invited us to sit down.A new short" menu was delivered to us which had 3 items on it. Scotch fillet of beef

The menu is to die for! Service is on point and the cocktails are like a flavour punch to the mouth, absolutely out of this world. Every meal we had was different and each cocktail was just bliss. If you make your way to the restaurant, make sure you call ahead for a booking, as it can be quite busy.

Started the evening with a lovely soup of the day: potato and leek along with slow cooked octopus. The seafood fettuccine was my favourite, tasty seafood flavors with fresh coastal catches. The dessert was to die for: lemon meringue was accompanied with a refreshing sorbet and the creme brûlée had the prefect crack! Not to forget the beautiful view for a romantic dinner!

Food large portions delicious.Could do with some extra staff training.

Great service, amazing fresh food and very quality. Very nice view as well.

We recently dined at Lombardi in Queenstown and had a truly delightful experience. The variety of dishes we tried left us thoroughly satisfied. We savored the mouthwatering medium rare beef, the succulent confit duck, and the flavorful salt and pepper calamari. The catch of the day was unfortunately not up to par, but the attentive staff promptly resolved the issue when we had to send it back.To accompany our main courses, we indulged in the delectable polenta fries, which, while a bit lackluster in taste for our liking, were still enjoyable. The Caesar salad provided a refreshing and tangy addition to our meal.For dessert, we were treated to the heavenly trio sorbet and the classic crème brûlée. Both desserts were prepared with finesse and left us longing for more. What made our dining experience truly memorable was the personalized dessert arranged for my dad by the kind and attentive staff. It truly showed their commitment to providing exceptional service.Over the years, Lombardi has received numerous awards for its outstanding culinary offerings and impeccable service. The restaurant has consistently been recognized for its commitment to quality, earning accolades that showcase their dedication to excellence.In conclusion, Lombardi in Queenstown is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. From the mouthwatering beef and amazing duck to the flavorful calamari, the restaurant's menu boasts a range of delightful options. Though a couple of dishes fell short of expectations, the exceptional service and attention to detail more than made up for it. Lombardi's well-deserved accolades reflect their commitment to providing a remarkable dining experience.

Restaurant Top the St Moritz Hotel. Was staying next door and went for breakfast at Lombardi’s two mornings in a row. The first day I ate the best avo toast/bruschetta I’ve ever eaten. The second day I thought I’d give it another go to double check—- it was even better. We had dinner one night there as well, beautiful salmon and risotto, but I still dream about the avo toast lol
