Stone grill here was delicious. So good, so juicy. The sides tasted not too bad, and they were quite generous with the sides as well. Onion ring was great. The place was quite noisy, but it’s what you normally expected from a pub.

Irish pubs seems to be all the rave, because let's face it, the Irish know their grog and certainly hold it well. Located on the busy CBD strip and fighting with a multitude of other local outlets, their call to me was the stone grill special at $25 (usually $34+).
First impressions were great because the noise level was very subdued and the staff were laid back and pleasant. Immediately off the bat we were offered seats and menus and talked through the daily specials. Naturally I went directly for the stone grill tasting plate and chose sides of steamed veg and Mediterranean salad.
The grill arrived and it seems the novelty of it will never wear off. I would not recommend it for kids as it is extremely hot. However, the big kid in me loved it! Seafoods were fresh and generous in size. Meats were tender, quality cuts and because you cook it yourself, there is no blame game for overdone steak.
Steamed veg was uninspiring and forgettable but the Mediterranean salad was refreshing and balanced out the heavy proteins. All washed down with a chilled ginger beer and I was one happy camper!
My friend and I went here for dinner tonight and it was better than we expected. We each had a stone grill meal, I chose the NZ Lamp Rump with steamed vegetables, roast potatoes and mint sauce. My friend had the Tasting Platter with steamed vegetables, green salad and mushroom sauce. The meats for both of us were delicious very tender and it was fun cooking it ourselves however that's really all that was good as the sides weren't impressive at all. Overall it was normal pub food and if it weren't for the 50 other restaurants in Queenstown we would probably come again.
