Best ever, wonderful service. dermot is a great host Millie a Lovely and professional waitress. The scotch is perhaps the best steak I’ve ever experienced best experiences medium rare. Great atmosphere well worth the price.

Beautiful steaks & great service. We chose the Wagyu 200g eye fillets & both were cooked to perfection. The roasted potatoes & broccoli side dishes were also delicious. This is our second visit & the food was amazing!

Situated within the Sofitel hotel complex, Jervois Steakhouse offers a fantastic dining experience with top-notch food and service. We came here straight after a long hike and road trip back from Mt Cook — still in our hiking gear — and the team couldn’t have been more welcoming. The atmosphere is elegant without being pretentious, making it a comfortable spot to unwind after a big day. We ordered the chef’s platter, which came with a beautifully tender sirloin, a lamb rack, and another generous cut of steak, all accompanied by five sauces. The horseradish was a standout — sharp, creamy, and the perfect complement to the meat. While the lamb was a touch dry, the steaks were cooked to perfection: juicy, flavourful, and perfectly charred. The steak-cut chips were absolutely addictive — crispy on the outside and soft on the inside — and the fresh salad balanced everything nicely. The service was warm and attentive throughout, adding to the overall experience. A must-visit for anyone craving a quality steak and a relaxed, refined atmosphere in Queenstown.

June, 7th, 2025 We had an amazing dining experience here! The service was outstanding — Tony, our server, was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. Truly one of the best service experiences I’ve had, highly recommend asking for him! The food was also top-notch from the starters to the main courses. Every dish was well-prepared and flavorful. The mushrooms were rich and delicious, the venison was perfectly cooked, and the steak was absolutely outstanding. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for excellent food and exceptional service!

Probably one of the better steak house you can get in south island. Reservation is needed. Folks here are also polite. Only downside was although we had a reservation, we had to wait at the sidelines for ~10 mins before we could get seated. Other then that, still a pleasant dining experience.
