Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very enjoyable food and service over two consecutive nights of family dining.
The only minor fails were slightly overdone pork as one of the mains, and an over-salted side salad dressing. But everything else - lamb, venison, fish and a range of delectable desserts - was superb.

This week we had the pleasure of eating and experiencing the incredible new flavours created by the in house chief at Patterson’s restaurant. The service was very professional and beyond what we expected. The food was a taste sensation and by far one of the best dinning experiences we have had in recent times in Christchurch. We can not rate the experience highly enough.

Had my reservations about eating at a hotel restaurant but oh man the blue cod fish and chips were so delicious. The fish was golden and crispy and so fresh. Beautiful side salad.
My mother had the risotto which she said was absolutely delicious. Lots of Parmesan and the mushrooms were so delicious.
Great house wines and lovely friendly staff. They should be really proud of what they have here. I’ll be back.
Lovely clean restaurant.
Highly recommend!

We had our last night at Commodore and chose this restauranium more for convenience than anything else. We were so surprised at the quality of the meals - all three of us had great meals and would recommend to anyone. My pork belly was just incredible as was my husbands beef Wellington. Entrees were also all great. We had a small glitch with a trainee waitress but the restaurant manager addressed immediately and gifted our bottle of wine for the inconvenience which we really appreciated. Do yourself a favour and try this great restaurant - you won’t be sorry!

Lovely hotel and great setting. Food was good however they were far too heavy handed with the salad dressing for the beef salad, although appreciate this may be a personal preference. The light meals are still the size of a usual meal so don’t be put off by “light”.

I dined at the Pattersons restaurant the other night and found the food to be delicious. I had the Paella and would defiantly recommend this dish. The highlight of our experience however was the service. We were served by Rose who was lovely and helpful. She went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. would recommend this restaurant in a heart beat

Not to far away from home and decided to drop in for a drink. Did that but also had a soup a pizza and desert with my wife. Service and food excellent.
The place had a nice atmosphere considering the struggle that establishments like this are currently going through. Well done to the staff who made us feel very welcome.
Put this place on your list to visit and enjoy.

Some interesting scenes outside the window if you sit by it! The menu has a wide range of different foods but the presentation and cooking is first class!

We used the restaurant 3 of the 4 evenings we stayed at the Hotel and enjoyed every meal. They also have a wide selection on the bar and wine menu.

Stayed at hotel before heading back home.
This restaurant stands on it's own. I thought it would be a standard hotel restaurant, however food here is of a very high standard, you will not be disappointed!

We went to Patterson’s restaurant and found Jess outside who was making pizzas. We ordered a pulled pork and a salmon one. The bases were lovely and we really enjoyed our night.
