Moorings Restaurant

A really nice evening for a special birthday. The service was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
The food was excellent and plentiful. So much so we needed to move table to accommodate the main course which was a 'meat lover's platter for two'. Lovely evening, we will be back!

Sunday night ,very quiet when we arrived so had very good service, it got busier as the night went on and we still had great service. Managed to get through 2 courses and a shared entree which was a good size. Meals well presented and tasted great and the size was fine. Desserts were delicious as well. Recommend that you try them out again if you haven't been for a while like us.

Great service provided from the minute we arrives till we left. Gentleman who served seemed to genuinely enjoy his job. Food tasted as great as it was presented. Best visit yet to the Moorings Restaurant. We will be back :-)

We went for a special birthday dinner and the meal was very special indeed. Food was fantastic, the Carnivore Platter was particularly awesome. Service was great and we would definitely go back

We had a wonderful evening. It was true southern hospitality at it’s best. The orange roughy fish dish was fresh and cooked beautifully. The 12 hour slow cooked lamb shank was also excellent. Other than been a little salty it was also a beautiful main meal. Size of meals were very generous. I highly recommend this place.

Fabulous meal. The pull apart bread was divine. This was our second visit and definitely our favorite place to dine in Cromwell. Great food, great atmosphere and First Table makes it very affordable. We will be back.

This was my very first "First Table" dining experience and I wasnt disapointed. The staff were all very professional in looking after us.

My friends ordered trhe Carnivore Platter. Wow!!.

Would dine there again

Great food and service every time

Lovely meal - good service.

Great food, great service and consistently so.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food, the ribs fell off the bone. Would go back!

We shared the carnivore platter-didn't quite look like the pictures, instead came spread out on a slightly too big plastic chopping board. The food on it was tasty none the less, definitely would have been better if it was served hot rather than tepid. Service was very friendly and thorough-would go back again for a second chance!

We came back for a second visit in three nights as we really enjoyed our first dining experience there!

Amazing food, fantastic service

Four of us dined and each said their meal was delicious. Steak was cooked to perfection, battered Roughy and chips were lovely and the Salmon was divine. It was lovely and warm in the restaurant and it also has a welcoming sit out are with a huge fire. Kids playground looked fun.
Will certainly dine again.

Excellent experience at The Moorings for dinner. A full and busy restaurant but service was fantastic and food came out quickly, and was delicious! Carnivore Platter is a definite must try!

Restaurant was lovely and warm. The staff were friendly and attentive and we really enjoyed our meals. Definitely will go back.

We were hosting friends from Canterbury who were like us overwhelmed with the size of the Platter for 4 people.Was lovely to stay and watch the rugby while enjoying our delicious deserts!!

Fantastic Experience. The food was delicious and such a generous size. The staff were very attentive. Really could not fault anything. Definitely our first choice for eating out in Cromwell.

Be prepared for a big meal. The entrees and the mains were huge, no room for dessert! The food was superb, beautifully presented and piping hot. This is a lovely place to dine, highly recommended.

Beautful food, meat so tender. And what about the pull apart loaf with cheese sauce. You’ve got to have it!! Obviously a very good chef. And a very nice barman... Just go!
Thanks for a great meal!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a beautiful place to have dinner as a family.

Great place togo for a great meal and relaxed atmosphere, staff were friendly and very responsive to our needs would totally recommend for a great meal and good size servings.

Nice food, nice atmosphere, friendly helpful staff

Nice food and excellent setting.

Good service, big portions which were very tasty. Maybe some different accompaniments would be the only thing I would suggest. Our 3 meals all had the same just a different protein. Slow cooked lamb was awesome as were the ham steaks and orange roughy. Miss 6 enjoyed her mini hot dogs and chips when she wasn’t running around wreaking havoc!
Would recommend

Our meal was amazing. Best thing was that our dog was made welcome and was able to sit outside with us and water was made available. Magic day

Located just outside the old mining town of Cromwell, Moorings Restaurant is a quaint pub-esque venue part of the Heritage Collection and situated a short stroll from Lake Dunstan with views a plenty of the surrounding Pisa Range.

The restaurant is beautifully themed to suit it's location and has a spacious outdoor area with heating and cover to withstand the inclement weather Central Otago has to offer.

We visited Moorings Restaurant for lunch and were greeted by two extremely friendly and inviting staff members who were courteous & polite & just what we needed for a Sunday afternoon. We had two espresso coffees, made to perfection, I ordered the Orange Roughy with my partner unable to resist the Flintstone Pie (amazingly well presented - highly recommend!).The food service was prompt and the serving size was great value for money. Staff were attentive and checked in with us throughout the meal, which is always a nice touch considering a few more guests had turned up since we first arrived.

I will certainly be recommending this restaurant to our family and friends and await our next visit, hopefully to enjoy the dinner service menu and a night in the neighboring hotel. Thank you for a great afternoon :)

Excellent food. I ordered a platter for 2 and there was definitely enough food there to feed 3 hungry adults. Grate place. I will definitely go back and great service by the 2 people behind the counter. Fantastic

Lovely spot - enjoyed the meal and the staff were great. Will be back! Thanks

The service was Excellent and very friendly. Lovely food very happy people will be going back again .

Excellent food, excellent service! I would definitely recommend to others, and will dine here again. The cheese pull part loaf with fondue sauce was amazing. Slow cooked lamb was so tender, and the mash so creamy. My mum had the steak with blue cheese sauce which was really tasty. Desserts were lovely too. Lovely restaurant, great outlook, peaceful setting. Thanks for a memorable dining experience.

Gorgeous food and friendly, welcoming staff.

Great staff food and atmosphere would go back

Great Food and Service

Lucky we are the first table, coz the whole restaurant is packed with people when we left. Food was great... Beef brisket slider is delicious, steak is cooked perfectly. Good portion of pork ribs, unfortunately the second one is a bit dry!! Fish we order smell a bit funny though, but the side potato mesh is delicious. Love the chips, crispy and nicely seasoned. Will comeback again!!

We had a really lovely meal out, thank you.

Amazing food and service. Highly recommend

Had a great time, thank you

Great meal, my lamb was beautiful and tender.

Both our meals (lunch & dinner) were very delicious we were very impressed & cant wait to come back.

The food was delicious, beutifully cooked and the main meals were large.
The meet and greet gentleman was very polite and was n control of who was sitting where etc. nice music playing and a good drinks selection.

Very friendly service. Great food, very tasty and a very generous portion. Would recommend

Food was quite good

Brilliant food in a great location friendly staff. We had the shared platter and it was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend if in the district worth a trip from nearby wanaka or queenstown.

The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived the food was nice and we were able to change things up to the what we wanted. Excellent staff very attentive.

Food portions were large, lacked a little seasoning tho, had the carnivores platter but was 80% veggie, tasty tho! Service was ok

Very good food and lovely staff. Will definitely go again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Moorings, the food was incredible and the staff lovely! Will definitely be back.

This was a true experience with amazing food. Each meal was very tasty and immaculately presented. I recommend the lamb as it was the most tender I have tasted. The wine list is very well selected but it was the atmosphere that set the tone for a wonderful evening. We will come back.
