Flames on 40 Restaurant Bar

Great food and service thanks flames

Apart from not having any record of our booking when we arrived (Fortunately, I had the voucher on my phone), everything was very good. Our waiter, Nikora, was friendly, courteous and helpful. The food was delicious! I had the roast of the day (pork) which was excellent! My partner had the pasta and our friend had coast of the day (gurnard). All very pleasing to the palate and to finish off, rhubarb and berry crumble dessert which was scrumptious! We’ve now enjoyed 4 First Table experiences and love the fact that we can enjoy such great food at such great prices!

Great staff great food great value. Well presented food service was good would not hesitate to visit again.

Very friendly helpful wait staff - esp Katrina who went the extra mile to ensure one of our groups dietary restrictions were supported.
The food was wonderful.
We were all very happy with our meals. The Grain Power salad was presented beautifully and tasted divine. The guys Aged Rib Eye meals were great and the Antipasto Platter for one was just like having a delightfully arranged picnic :-)

The staff were so welcoming and helpful, it was very nice to see all of them with a smile and the food was delicious. Will definitely dine here again the next time we are in Nelson. Highly recommended :)

Superb. We eat out a lot and this was one of the best meals we’ve eaten in a while and fabulous value for money. My daughter and I had the pork belly main and it was scrumptious, while my husband was very complimentary about his Moorocan-style chicken. We shared a couple of serves of the seasonal vegetables which included a good variety of vegetables with delicious herb butter. We really didn’t have room for dessert but had it anyway - sharing a tempra banana dessert and chocolate cake between the three of us. Very nice! The atmosphere was very pleasant and the service very friendly and welcoming. This was a winner!

The four of us had a very enjoyable meal, especially the scrumptious desserts! The wait staff were particularly friendly and attentive making it a special evening for us all. We shall be returning.

Situation very good, dining room very light with attractive artwork and our kind of music, very pleasant.The staff were very attentive and chatted away without being over bearing. The 5.30pm start time suited people our age very well..Would not hesitate in recommending Flames to others or returning ourselves.

Great service and great food

The wait staff were excellent, friendly, humorous and attentive, made for a very nice dining experience.

Entrees - were excellent, really enjoyed the sticky ribs and salt and pepper squid.

Mains- T bone steak looked more like a chop, so if you like the traditional T bone this is not for you. The Ribeye, fillet special and pork belly were all good. The vegetable sides were very good.

Deserts - the Brûlée and cheesecake where great

Overall- entrees and deserts were the highlight

Amazing food and great staff. Excellent.

What a great place - loved the embience. Staff Were fantastic. We will return

Great staff who were very friendly. Very good meal at a good price. The location is pleasant with a very nice outlook. I would come here again and tell my friends.

Excellent service by both Justice and Marcia very friendly atmosphere

As always a great meal, good service and the place is always spotless. Good choice of food. The staff are helpful and friendly.

Felt hurried by the wait staff to vacate quickly and they were more interested in applying first table rules than giving us a good dining experience

The best dinner we had, here in Nelson!

Staff were busy with a big group but looked after us really well too. They were all great fun. Food was good especially the seafood rissotto.

Wonderful staff and delicious food!
Definitely returning

all aspects exellent

Great service 3 different meals ordered, one of the fillet steaks was an end cut and very tough. Overall a good evening.

First time at Flames on Forty. Absolutely amazing staff. Divine food. Lovely atmosphere. Will be back very soon. Highly recommended :)

What a great night enjoyed the food good service by Marcia

Lovely meal, great service. Thankyou

We booked a First Table at Flames on 40 for a birthday dinner and were not disappointed. We have eaten here several times before. I had the soup of the day (tomato and roasted capsicum) which was delicious and for my main Chermoula & Dukkah Crusted Chicken Breast with Israeli Couscous, Eggplant Pickle and tahini yoghurt sauce. It was served piping hot, a good sized serving and tasty. My husband had Flames Potato Gnocchi served in a Parmesan Cream Sauce with Baby Spinach, Herb & Bacon Crumb as an entree and grilled fish and fries as a main. The servings are generous, came hot and our table waitress Justice was excellent.
We will definitely dine here again

This is the first time that I have dined at Flame on 44. It was fantastic, the food and service was both outstanding. I would definitely recommend and we will be back. Thank you for a wonderful evening. 10/10

One of our favourite restaurants so enjoyable as always as our friends we took thought. They had never been so will be back too.

1st time dining at Flames on 40 and we all enjoyed our evening immensely. Beautiful meals, highly recommend the slow cooked pork with very crispy crackling. The friendly and attentive staff, made us feel very welcome. I will certainly be returning and recommending Flames on 40, to friends and family.

Great food and super staff very friendly and helpful

Good food ,ribs a little bit over cook
but service is good

Was great start to finish.Staff attentive and extremely pleasant

We had a really good meal here and will happily return. Nice portions, good flavors and preparation of the meat. Really yummy. A great value at first table prices!

Always a warm welcome at Flames and tonight no exception and so appreciated as we had our 3 year old Grandaughter with us. Food was delicious, always enjoy the gnocchi, hubby loves a great steak and ginger and caramel dessert was sublime. Look forward to our next visit.

Had a wonderful experience. The menu and food were superb. Highly recommend.

A most enjoyable dinner out
Great food, wonderful service
Some rather dramatic food presentation when the Flintstone steak was lit

We booked this last minute (well... last 36 minutes) when we decided we need to go out for a nice meal.
We were greeted by the team and seated straight away. Unfortunately our table was next to a door, which was opened every few minutes, so we asked if we could sit somewhere else. The team was super friendly, moved our drinks over to another table.
The menu looked great, good choice of food and drinks. Our meals came out quite fast and tasted great. I recommend the chicken starter! We usually don't go all out but seeing that we made great savings, we had a starter and a main each! And it was still a cheap meal! We ended up with the chicken and the salmon starter; then the ribs and the lamb shank for mains. The only critique I can give is the salmon had quite a bit of acidity in the meal and needed something else to balance it out, but the bread it came with was amazing!
The team at Flames is amazing! I only looked at our main waitresses name tag, Justice; she's amazing! So lovely! The others were great too :)
Anyway... great dinner out! Thanks team at Flames and First Table.

Excellent food and Excellent service well recommend

Could not find any fault with anything ,atmosphere,friendly staff and good food

The menu is spectacular. So many delicious options and we plan to go back to try some more. Lovely service, was great for a family dinner out. Desserts are amazing too. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed every course, fresh, delicious food. Would dine again.

Always have a pleasant dining experience at Flames. Food is very good and always well cooked. Kids feel very welcome and staff always extremely friendly.

The roast was good (beef cooked to perfection), my only constructive feedback being that the yorkshire pud and roasties could be a bit crispier.

Overall, a very good family meal out, thank you!

Great service
Roast pork with plenty of crackling
Lasagne was great too
Still had room for desert
Crumble and ginger steamed pudding
Both generous sizes

Haven’t Been to flames this year - great welcoming service and surprised restaurant already had 4-5 tables already full when we turned up at 5.30 pm. Food excellently presented and very nice.
Our table of 4 all left happy - tiramisu excellent as was steak.
Thank you

We were given a warm welcome with very attentive staff throughout the evening. The fish meal and Steaks were very tasty, the chicken meal was breast on the bone which was slightly dry and awkward to eat, the staff were very apologetic and did offer to change it. We will be back soon.

Lovely cosy relaxed evening beside the fire. Great food and friendly service. Perfect for a chilly winters night.

First time there. Staff were welcoming.
Food good but sides for rib eye steak were on the small side; a man with a healthy appetite would be left wanting.
Table service excellent! Friendly and engaging.
Overall a good experience.

Arrived to a lovely warm room as it was a very cold evening. The meals were hot and a plentiful serving. My spare ribs were delicious and had plenty of meat on them. The staff were friendly and helpful. We weren't made to feel we had to leave once finished
And all round good experience once again

This has got to be the best restaurant I've been to in Nelson. Definitely the first I have liked enough to have a dessert as well.
To start with, service was great. Hosts were so accommodating. One young lady in particular. Pencils and colouring in were provided for our little guy. Atmosphere was warm and cosy and the restaurant felt clean. We had duck spring rolls, ribs and pulled pork for starters. Everything has its own flare that worked so well, the ribs weren't Just ribs and the pork wasn't just pork either.
For mains we had venison, stonegrill steak and morrocan chicken. Again, everything was well cooked, well seasoned and not plain at all. Venison was a perfect medium.
We all stayed for dessert and had ginger and caramel steamed pudding, feigoa and apple crumble and ice cream Sundays.
I really would recommend this restaurant to anyone. And I have. We will be back.
Thank you so much.

Fantastic meal Fantastic staff not rushed made to feel welcome.
Can highly recommend the Lamb Shank A+++
Will differnately be going back recommending to friends.

A friend and I dined at this restaurant last night and were really impressed. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and overall we were really happy with our experience. The staff were attentive and fun. Highly recommend. Will definitely revisit!
