Queenstown Bistro

Manager Larry was rude from the start. You are not allowed to have food and let anyone join later, mast wait in the street. Besides, everyone else will be seated in front of you. Shame, such lovely places and awful attitude of the management.

Man, I am glad I felt the urge to check this place out. I had heard they do mimosas to go, they had a sign confirming that, but by the time we left I was far too full to want to even consider it! Very dog friendly, they were even putting dogs "inside" (the whole place is just covered patios, so no matter where you sit you'll be a bit exposed to the elements). We got one of the tables right out front, and it was so much fun for people watching! We had a great time just seeing all the people (and their dogs of course) walking by. They had $5 mimosas while we were there, which was fun. Oh my gosh, the chicken pot pie was enormous! I have a big appetite and I could barely finish it, but I did because it was also insanely good. My wife enjoyed her lamb burger. They have a big bowl of dog treats out front, and our dogs enjoyed those as well. The prices are definitely a bit expensive here, but the portion sizes definitely made up for it. We will certainly be back here. Kid-friendliness: They make you park strollers in the back.

Had brunch here with my wife this weekend. The food was solid and most of the staff was friendly and inviting. That said, I can't in good conscience leave a 5-star review. While the majority of the staff was great, we were waited on by an older gentleman who introduced himself as the GM. For some reason he had a hard time acknowledging my wife's presence and only ever looked at and spoke to me. It was like she was a ghost or something. Weird vibes overall and it left us feeling put out.

I recently returned from a fantastic holiday in New Zealand and fell in love with several things, their Sauvignon Blanc and their hand pies topping the list. So, when I returned, I HAD to look for a restaurant that could serve me some delicious NZ cuisine. Queenstown Bistro in Westfield Mall has been a staple there for at least 6 years now but somehow I'd never put Queenstown and NZ cuisine together! We got reservations for a Sunday night. They made sure to confirm our reservation with us. Once seated, we ordered the Sauvignon Blanc and the Pinot Noir from the Villa Maria Vineyards in NZ (I had wanted to visit but we ran out of time in NZ). Both wines were delicious. I don't think I can drink any other kinds of Sauvignon Blanc any more! For food, we ordered the meat pie appetizer (2 meat pies) and the lamb skewers. The meat pie was delicious but a little unidirectional, meaning that it was good meat, but I would've liked a hint of mint, BBQ, some veggies, cheese or something more. Since I may not find those delicious hand pies from Arrowtown, NZ here, these pies were definitely worth trying out (and I will eat them again). The lamb skewers were my friend's favorite. From her first bite, she could not stop raving about how tasty they were. I think they could've had more spice, but honestly, I feel that about any skewer because I like an explosion of flavor with the small bites. The pita bread and hummus that came with them were mouthwatering. I have been rationing myself on the hummus because I don't want to finish it and every day since our visit, it seems to taste better! To end the meal, we ordered another entree - the chicken pot pie. Ok, that was an explosion! Chef's kiss, 100%. The pie dough was flaky, layered and perfect. The chicken pot pie itself was simply bursting with comforting, creamy, warm flavors. This is an open pie so please don't expect more crust. This was the star of the evening for me. Next time I come here, the meat pie, the chicken pot pie and a glass of crispy Sauvignon Blanc is what my order will look like!! P.s. it is primarily patio seating with heaters. The tables are fairly close so when busy, it could get overwhelming. Parking at the mall is either uncovered or in covered garages.

It’s always so nice to sit in front and enjoy a good beer.

Loved the menu and excellent meal , tuna sandwich and lamb awesome last week , all yummy . Dogs are very welcome, treats and water bowls available … lovely bonus, our pup gives 5 paws

It is a nice outdoor eatery in UTC. No wait for lunch on a Saturday and we were able to get our food within 15 mins. The menu is not big but has a good variety of choices. However the steak was overcooked so I took away one star.
