We had reservations about going here but decided to take someones word for it and was not disappointed at all. To start with the service was brilliant on all accounts unlike other restaurants of this standard in Queenstown, which let themselves down. Then the food...More

The food was ok , worth the price - not really ! had much better on our visit to Queenstown, highlight - the goats cheese profiteroles , blue cod for main lacked flavour . Whole experience was brought down by the arrival of a group...More

We had a lovely evening here service and food was amazing. The cheese rolls were stunning and the Merino Lamb was cooked perfectly. Would definitely go back.

The night was drizzling cold but the staff reception warms the heart. The settings was elegant, food was great. Bluff oysters a must. The price was quite good for such wonderfully presented and unquestionably quality food.

Went to rata for lunch. We have tried several times to get into rata and was always unable as it is heavily booked. But being in off season we got in easily. Worth the perseverance food was all delicious and setting great.

Been twice once where we saw everyone eating this amazing looking beef Wellington only to find you had to preorder and a second time when we preordered it! Well worth it also loved the goats cheese profiteroles. Lesson preorder or prepare to be disappointed

We had a lovely evening, with stunningly fresh and well presented food. Staff were well educated on wines and food. If we could have on complaint, would just be that the oysters weren’t chilled. Overall through, good was fantastic

Rata is always stunning. No trip to Queenstown is complete without indulging in a meal here. The stunning food is matched by the brilliant Front of house team. Dishes reflect the season and the region and children are welcomed and encouraged with their own menu...More

Staggeringly good food here. Delicate, beautiful, so professional. But bring a deep wallet if you like wine, you will struggle to get much under $100 a bottle (something we noticed elsewhere I. Queenstown - wine is pricey). We’d be back in a heartbeat. Excellent stuff!
