We tried to be mindful of the past while looking towards the future. Groups of 6 or more will be charged an automatic 20% gratuity.

    always a good time at Queenstown. Love the service, food and consistency in excellence. Enjoy your meals there and the lamb is to die for. And for those of you who are dog lovers, it’s dog friendly. Try to nab that really nice table on the deck with a fire pit at the four top.

    For the price the food was not elevated. The poke bowl had hard and crunchy rice. Service was nice. The open air space was freezing even with the heaters - a jacket wasn’t enough. So be prepared to freeze.
