Popped into the restaurant looking for a midday feed. Food was great especially the country fried chicken and the chunky fries. Though we were the ones at the ground floor, food took a while to be served. Great selection of beers both Speights and craft ones. I can imagine the evening crowd and atmosphere. Will definitely come visit again the next time I’m in Queenstown! Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Pretty nice place to get either food or drinks. They have a decent selection of gin, and a varied dinner menu. However the staff were very confused with food and drink orders, and delivered wrong orders to us twice, which were supposed to go to a different table (although parts of the service to us was correct, so we were very confused about what happened there). If you do eat, you can't go wrong with the $24 rump steak, cooked medium rare (I don't normally do below medium, but my friends recommend MR and it was perfect). I only regret not getting the second rump steak addon for $9. My friend thoroughly enjoyed his buttermilk chicken burger and highly recommends it as well. The chunky fries served with our food was not the crispiest, but the seasoning they put on it made up for it. Price per person $30–40 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Due to a late town arrival, we were lucky to get into the Surreal. We were resuscitated from our days travels on the upper floor terrace where there was a great selection of craft beer and appetizers (With a bar area servicing just the terrace). We liked it so much, we came back the following day and did it all over again. It would have been an extra bonus if the weather would have allowed the covers to be rolled up for an open air experience. Still, one of our favorite places on our entire tour.

Been popping in here for a lunch on my last 2-3 visits to Queenstown. Lunch prices are very reasonable and the food is fantastic. Great atmosphere and even though winter with the door wide open the large gas fire keeps the place comfortable and warm. Staff are friendly and just a nice vibe a couple of minutes from the water front in Queenstown. Price per person $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

We were the only people eating in the restaurant, yet we waited just under an hour for our meals. My husband ordered the schnitzel which was fine but the chips were stone cold. Myself and a friend ordered the pumpkin and beetroot salads which were small, and lacked any flavour other than vinegar. The musician was wonderful. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

The Surreal bar is great. It does lovely cocktails and food, and it's reasonably priced. It is definitely worth going to if you're looking for nice food or a drink.

Couldn't fault, the place was spacious and tidy. The meal was more than I could have asked for. I had the rump which was good as requested MR. The fries were some of the best fries I have ever had, crunchy outside soft inside. The schnitzel was very pleasing according to my wife. The staff were friendly and pleasant.

Lively place, nice staff and good food. We ordered the chicken parmigiana, which was really tasty and full of flavor. The chicken breast was really tender and it had ham and cheese inside. We also ordered the lamb, also tender and well prepared and the steak that was cooked to our taste. It all comes with good sauces, salad and fries or mashed potatoes. The garlic butter for the steak was also great. You can eat inside or on the rooftop and it's very close to the center.
