My only regret about dining at Rata is going here on the first of my 4 nights. After having the Rata experience night one meant that all of my following meals were second rate by comparison. The venue, the staff, the food, the drinks- all amazing.
Just go. Go twice if you can.

We were there recently. The reviews keep saying it is great. It is!!
The attention to detail with the food, the tastes and service are all out of the top drawer. Couldn't fault it. In Queenstown where the wait staff are probably transient(in the nicest possible way) it is evident the owners/management make a big effort to train their staff to deal with diners in a knowledgeable way and this shows through in the way they treat the customers.
restaurants rise or fall on their reputation. Rata's reputation is richly deserved
