Turner New Zealand

User Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

I didn't really know what to expect from a New Zealand restaurant. There were a few positives and a few not-so-positives. First, the not-so-positives; Service was bad. We sat down and didn't get greeted for about 10 minutes. Not a great way to start a meal that's about to cost over $150 for 2 people. We were about to leave when a waiter showed up and appologized profusely and gave me a free soda (yipee). First course was a Calamari appetizer. The Calamari was good (a bit over salted) and the dips were only ok. Next was the Lobster Bisque. This was probably the most intensely flavored soup I've ever had (but thats no nessasarily a good thing). After that I had the Caesar salad. It was average at best. Next, I had the Filet Mignon medium rare with mashed potatoes. The Filet was absolutely outstanding. One of the best I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly, and tasted amazing. Mashed potatoes were good too. All in all I don't think it was worth the lofty price tag since they fell short in a few areas but that Filet was tops in my book.
