Rocked up at 7:15pm on a Monday evening, worried that they wouldn’t be serving food anymore but they were very welcoming even though they close at 8pm. The lamb rack was amazing and just what I needed on our first day in NZ, and the kids enjoyed their half and half pizza. Lovely ambience, old gastropub style, reminded me of pubs in the U.K.
One of my absolute favourite places to eat after passing through the area. Outstanding tasty food, very friendly service from our waitress, and a lovely peaceful atmosphere to enjoy my dinner stress free in.
As a world traveller, the customer service here was very baffling and definitely one of the worst experiences ever.nWe entered the restaurant and asked for a table and they told us there was only one table available next to the entrance where the door was wide open and it was freezing. The chairs were more like stools and it was extremely uncomfortable for my old mother and brother who were with me. They had to wear a down jacket the entire time. When I asked for another table as there were so many in the restaurant they told us they were “full” however there were maybe another 10 people and no one else came later on so no tables were “reserved” for a big group or anything. They could have easily offered us a better table with comfortable chairs. As other people have commented before me the staff are definitely racist towards foreigners as they treated their local customers noticeably better.nTo make matters worse they told us that for us the waiting time would be 1 HOUR?! As the town was very small and no other restaurant was open at that time we had no other choice but to wait. Locals came in after us and they got the table they wanted and they got their food very fast. It was absolutely appalling!nThere was one other couple in the restaurant that were foreigners and they also got the same treatment.nNever in all my travels have I ever encountered such racist and discrimination against tourists and btw we are white Europeans so I cannot imagine how they are with others. It is simply unacceptable to discriminate against tourists who bring in good revenue.nThe food was good but nothing spectacular and definitely not worth the wait of 1 hour + and not worth the money.nIf there is no other option its decent but expect if you are foreign to not get treated equally and expect a long wait for food. The worst part was being lied to about the table and them telling us “oh sorry it was so busy” when it was literally empty!
I always enjoy visiting Carnegies when travelling through Fairlie. On our recent visit, we arrived at 7:15pm on a Wednesday evening, and despite their website indicating an 8pm closing time, the staff warmly welcomed us.nThe food was exceptional! We've tried both the burgers and the pizza in the past, and they never disappoint - delicious, flavourful and served in generous sized portions. To top it off, the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the excellent quality of both the food and service.
Wonderful night out for a lovely dinner and customer service.nThe waitress customer service was world class covering customer welcome seating us offering us menus taking our orders delivering drinks whilst serving 9 other customers Simultaneously !!!nAbsolutely exceptional young lady doing the work of three and clearly needs a pay rise for her honest efforts ...look after her she deserves respect!!!
