Flames on 40 Restaurant Bar

Staff were amazing and so was the food and wine!

We had a lovely meal and the Pumpkin Gnocchi was delicious

This is certainly our favourite restaurant in Nelson. The service and atmosphere are excellent. Justice and Nikora the wait staff were tops. The menu is superb, the presentation and the food is just exceptional. The fillet steak was cooked to perfection and then the cheesecake. This was the nicest cheesecake i have ever been presented with or tasted. The whole experience was unfaultable. The upstairs seating is the nicest if you are wanting quietness and a place to talk. Thank you for a lovely meal out.

Great service, superb food, friendly, unobtrusive attentive wait staff. Definitely recommended and will go again!!

As per usual the staff were absolutely amazing and the food was superb. Cant wait to go back next week for a family birthday dinner. Thanks guys

The restaurant was bright, warm and spotless with a lovely gas, log fire going which gave a lovely atmosphere. The service was excellent. The food we ordered was of a very high standard in presentation and taste. The steak was served to perfection. If this is maintained we just could not fault this restaurant, food or presentation. Outstanding. Thank you.

Great food and atmosphere! Will definitely be back!

Wonderful night out with friends, great service and food

Can't say enough about the service and food - Excellent!!

it was the second time I have dined there and once again, the food was absolutely stunning.
Great presentation of the food and the taste and quality is amazing.
Staff again were friendly and helpful and fun
This is now my favourite restaurant and I would happily go back again and again.
Love the seating in front of the bar to sit and relax after the meal, felt like being in a hotel lobby, which is always a good feeling, like being on holiday.
I would recommend this restaurant to everybody and I look forward to my next meal there

Honestly we have been in NZ for 7 months now and this is the best service we have ever had in any restaurant we have ever been too. Not too mention the food was amazing! I had the rib eye and it was cooked to perfection and my boyfriend had the lamb shank which was also perfect

Great restaurant clean, nice and tidy. Staff was also amazing. Food was ok.

We (family of 4) dined at Flames on Forty on Friday night - initially we were the first ones in the restaurant but it very quickly filled up. Our waiter Nikora was first class - very patient and engaging with our children. He never once made us feel rushed and he engaged in conversation with us. The head waiter - a lady but I didn’t get her name - was also fantastic. Checking everyone was happy (all tables) and how they were enjoying their meals. We will be back and will definitely recommend Flames on Forty. Thank you

What a great dining experience! The staff were so welcoming and attentive while at the same time giving us our privacy to enjoy our meal. The food was well presented and so tasty! We will definitely be back!

Friendly Staff nicely laid out modern dining room. Food size and quality very good. Would visit again.

A great experience. Good quality food. Waiter fixed an error quickly. Friendly service with good atmosphere.

This was my first time at this restaurant as not from Nelson. The service was amazing. The waitress was so friendly and helpful which helped make our experience so much better. The food was hot, delicious and full of flavour. It was a really nice touch to add the bowl of water for rinsing hands after eating the ribs.
Thank you for a very pleasant dining experience.

This Restaurant is a Hidden Gem !! I always thought it was only Open for House Guests. High Class in all aspects! Excellent Variety on the Menu and The Best Service I've had in a long time. Great Wine List with non exuberant prices. We ordered Gnocchi, Salt and Pepper Calamari, Seafood Chowder and Lamb Shanks. All Superb!! And The Kids Menu was Brilliant; we chose the Option of the "Fun Pack" which had a great variety of Kids Meals, A Dessert; a Drink, and a Puzzle/Colouring Pack with Stickers. Happy Kids !! Happy Mum : ) All the Service Team were Professional and Fun !! Thanks : )

We had a wonderful meal at Flames on 40, the staff were friendly and very helpful with altering the dishes to sit an allergy. The meals were not too small but not so big that we couldn't fit in one of their delicious deserts. A great dining experience.

Amazing service and delicious food.

Being a visitor to Nelson it was great to come to first table dining. Will be back in 4 weeks. Hope there will be a place for us

Staff were very friendly & efficient. Menu had a lot of yummy looking options. The food we order was so tasty & very generous serving sizes. Great value for money to. We will definitely be back again!

Refreshingly good: well balanced and skillfully designed menu, dishes not too big, beautifully presented. Thoroughly recommended. Without First Table, would still recommend.

The staff are absolutely wonderful, which of course compliments the stunning food

Atmosphere was really nice! Staff were super friendly and good proportioned food! Especially the ribs! We also had the crumble and tart for dessert which was delicious! Will definitely be coming back

Great attentive service nice setting.

Fantastic food and service and so good with the kids.

Once again a good experience. Always spotlesly clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good food and pleasant atmosphere. We enjoy it as the music isn't loud and you can have a conversation, unlike many other places.

Was at short notice decision and we enjoyed it very much. Food was delicious, and service very friendly. We will definitely return. many thanks , Sue.

The four of us had a great time, good atmosphere great food, friendly service. We will be back.

Great as always

Excellent food again. Venison, roast beef, fish & chips and fish burger thoroughly enjoyed. And the desserts! Thank you

Friendly Staff good food clean well laid out restaurant would visit again.

Overall, this was a great dining experience. The food options were largely traditional fare, and really well cooked.
Louis, our waiter, was friendly, attentive and efficient. Even though there was a misunderstanding over one of the orders, the staff were up front and apologetic and it did not detract from our enjoyment at all. We ordered duck spring rolls, mussels, lamb shank, peanut butter cheesecake and creme brulee.
All good.

Wedding anniversary dinner, great night with lovely food and nice service.
The bonus was our son paid, so sweet
Thank you flames on 40 for a delicious evening.

Nice, friendly service from the moment we arrived- bar staff & waitresses. Good, nicely cooked food we enjoyed( not so keen on the frozen chips under the steak on the sizzle plate to prevent cooking!)

The meal was spot on and the service staff friendly and helpful. We will go back.

We had a warm welcome, and the service was attentive and friendly. The roast lamb was tender, and the pork tasty.

Both of us really enjoyed our steaks with peppercorn and brandy sauce done to perfection. Very tasty. Can't wait to try all the restaurants on offer.

Lovely service and really good food. Although my steak was slightly overdone, it didn’t take away from the rest of the meal which was delicious. Wonderful customer service too, very friendly and attentive. Thank you.

Amazing service, very kind, they make you feel like a very important person, best garlic bread ive ever had along with a very good size steak cooked to perfection and a large burger, will definitely return

Always enjoy our meals here and staff are always helpful and pleasant. My roast was excellent. Last night was great meeting some of the policemen there, who are helping with the fire, so could thank them

We had a very nice birthday celebration dinner. Food good from yummy garlic bread to a shared platter and mains of steak and salad. Sadly no room for dessert. Staff were busy but still attentive.

Second visit as good as the first. Service very good and everything in sequence. I had the stone steak which was large and well cooked. My wife had the special oven cooked snapper which was again very good portion size was generous. Will visit again.
