Zest Lunch Bar Queenstown Reviews from The Last Year
Unbelievable experience
Went to Nest kitchen and bar based off research and friends recommendation. What an unbelievable experience. As soon as you walk in you are in awe of the views. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We had selected the degustation menu and after recommendation from staff went for the wine pairings with it. Cannot recommend this enough. The wines were all from New Zealand and some quite local aswell as being distinct to each single dish you chose/received. The staff were so informative and ensured you were having a good meal. The night on a whole was one to remember.
Breathtaking views and food
Degustation menu with a great variety including fish and meat.Phenomenal parings, breathtaking views and fantastic service. Celebrated my birthday at Nest and was not disappointed
Beautiful
Amazing food, wine pairings and service! One of the best experiences I’m had for dinner! Very knowledgeable sommelier and waiters
Harriet the wine connoisseur 5*
We had the pleasure of having the wine spring dinner with Harriet and her colleague. Highly recommend the chicken to start, market fish as a main and rhubarb for dessert.
What an experience
Absolutely unreal experience. My partner and I had the degustation with wine pairing and…just wow. The service and the food was beyond outstanding. Highly recommend!
Beautiful vistas. Amazing ambience.
Amazing experience . Stunning vistas from restaurant. Beautiful ambiance. Staff were very thoughtful and very friendly. And food was superb!
Great experience
Excellent in every way, the views, food, drinks and service. We ate the degustation menu with NZ wine matching which was very well done. Highly recommended.
Amazing meal with amazing views!
We had a fabulous degustation dinner at Nest. Incredible food and wine. Thank you to the sommelier Harriett who recommended some amazing wines to pair with our meals. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Best service and food in town
Absolutely the best service and experience in Queenstown, and we're local we know. Everytime we've been here has been supurb
Marvelous place for dinner
Absolutely wonderful romantic dinner spot! Food was glorious, waiters were awesome, loved how they described the dishes, and the atmosphere was lovely
Would happily return
We had a delicious 3 course meal with excellent service from the minute we arrived. Delightful surroundings and view and the food not your standard meat and 3 veg. Would happily return
Disappointing
Tourist trap. Food is average at its best. Please avoid dinner as it has no view to the lake nor the city because its all dark. Not worth the NZD100+ per person for the three course menu.
INCREDIBLES reVIEW of the Nest Kitchen
We ate at the Next Kitchen and bar 3 mornings during our stay at the Kamana. The food was excellent, the view was "Incredibles", and the wait staff was outstanding. Kelly waited on us two mornings and Amy the other morning and both of them were very attentive and friendly, helping to make our visit very enjoyable.
The Nest chefs produce stunning meals with not only a wow factor in presentation but also with every bite!
Our early evening meal out with friends for a birthday celebration surpassed expectations. One of our party is vegetarian and is accustomed to disappointment often when eating out - but not at Nest! She commented that every course was superb, while the rest of us were equally impressed. The smaller menu selection initially surprised us but then very soon impressed us. The chefs obviously can then focus their attention to produce EVERY dish to be spectacular in every aspect. Firstly to impress with beauty and presentation creating a wow factor, and then the taste sensations live up to the hype in complexity and taste with many layers to impress the most discerning critic. Oliver was also fabulous and added to our evening even more.
Great experience and excellent service
Excellent location with stunning views. Service was great, with our waiter Oliver providing a very personalized and attentive experience. Food very good. Recommend dining early session at 5.30 pm as you get the best views and can watch the landscape colours change with the sunset. Thanks you
Nice dining experience
Food is delicious, service is good and professional. Little bit disappointed when dining on a dark night. Would have been much better in a summer night when you can eat with the amazing lake view. Possibly come again!
Not just a location, amazing food & service too
A gorgeous setting that’s not too pretentious but is a show stopper with food that’s presented 5 star and the wait staff are on point. Highly recommend
Most beautiful view and food you’ll have in Queenstown
What an experience we had. It start with a couple of drinks in the cozy bar by the fire place and continued to one of the most delicious food we have ever had. And the view is just one of the most beautiful you will ever see. The whole experience was 10/10 and it was the highlight of our trip.
The view is the best and the service quite good
Ambience/View is a 10 out of 10. Hard to find a restaurant with a similar view in QT. Service is friendly and professional Food is tasty 8 out of 10 I had pasta for dinner.
Breakfast with phenomenal views!
Breakfast at Nest is a special experience. Great food served in front of spectacular views as the sun rises over Queenstown. Kelly, our server, was particularly helpful in finding the right dish for breakfast and reviewing our daily options for activity. Will definitely look forward to returning to this area again.
Beautiful views over the lake and mountains
Nest is part of a newish hotel complex about a 15 minute ride out of town. The views over the lake towards the mountains are spectacular, and there’s a deck to wander around between courses. The food, to be honest, while beautifully presented, isn’t especially good. Pretty much everything has been pre-cooked sous vide, so you don’t get any choice in how, for example, you want your lamb rack or venison medallions cooked (it’s well done for the former, and pink for the latter), so if you’re fussy about these things, Nest probably isn’t for you. I’d describe the style, quality and presentation of the food as being at the level you’d expect be served on a good business class airline, or perhaps slightly above. You have to order either three courses from the à la carte menu (including dessert - no cheese option), at about $95, or for an extra $30, there’s a sort of semi-degustation menu, which we didn’t go for. The service was attentive and professional, although they’re looking to turn the tables pretty quickly, and we were done and dusted in not much more than an hour, so not really a place where you’re encouraged to linger over your after dinner cognac while you enjoy the views. Considering the beautiful views, the value was reasonable, but it’s not somewhere you’d go more than once, unless you were staying in the hotel.
Wonderful food with a breathtaking view
Certainly one of the best dining venues in Queenstown. The food and drinks were prepared with much attention to detail perceptible passion. The service was impeccable and the view framed the evening perfectly. A must visit when in Queenstown.
We both had the avocado toast. The eggs were perfect.
Excellent breakfast with great service and a beautiful view. Our servers were attentive and helpful. We highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast. Dinner is good too.
Great breakfast service
A really great hotel. We especially enjoyed the breakfast with the super friendly service (many thanks to the amazing Elisa) and the great view. We can absolutely recommend the hotel.
Wonderful breakfast with fabulous staff
If you are staying here then do have breakfast! Eliza was amazing and ensured that every need was met .. we were quite demanding and she made us very comfortable.. .. Amy too was lovely.
A lovely night out!
My partner and I enjoyed a terrific dinner / drinks at the Nest right as the sun was setting at 8pm. The views are incredible, and the space was equally elegant and comfortable. We each did the 3 course options, and dishes were flavorful and filling, we especially enjoyed the cauliflower and fish mains. And service was friendly and informative, would definitely return!
Great view and good food.
That you get a lovely view is without question. But the good part is that we also really liked the food. We have the tasting menu so we got to sample many dishes and they were all quite good. Service was friendly. View, good food, and friendly service; what more do you need!
Terrific food and view!
We had a delicious and beautifully presented meal with a fantastic view, and terrific service. Highly recommended and would definitely return.
Great service from Elisa
Incredible view for our yummy pulled pork breakfast and friendly smile and service from Elisa. Special place to enjoy a coffee.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
