Rātā is located down an alley off Ballarat St in the heart of Queenstown (look for the black pillar with the name of the restaurant on the bottom line).
Service provided by a young waitress from Paraguay was exceptional. Nut allergy was noted and dishes with nuts were highlighted in green on one of the menus given to us. This idea was outstanding.
I had a cocktail called Doctor’s order which was sweet like I requested and came with an ice block with the restaurant’s name on it!
The oyster starter was so good I wished I ordered more than one.
Kingfish crudo and artichoke entrees were fine though I preferred the more savoury elements to the artichoke dish (sweeter part reminded me of apple pie).
Mains were venison and mushroom/cauliflower with brussel sprouts as a side.
Unfortunately we were too full for dessert.
It’s hard to fault this meal as service, drinks and food including the pace of the meal were great.
It was wonderful to see the restaurant welcome a lot of solo diners.
For those that enjoy fine dining with excellent service Rātā is one of the best places to eat in Queenstown.
