Food was good, service was not. Hat to practically tackle the hostess to get he to notice we'd been waiting for a server for 20 minutes. Dessert took forever to arrive.

Very nice ambience, plus great holiday decor. Very spacious. We were seated promptly, but waited 10-15 minutes for anyone to bring us water or ask about an order. By then, we were ready to order. Drinks and food brought out at the same time. The main course food was fine, nothing special, but the lemon custard dessert (we saw someone else order this and asked) was excellent. Might be back. The outdoor bar area looked nice, but more for summer.

We have been wanting to try Queenstown for a while and have heard great things. We loved the atmosphere it is very cool inside. The food is great quality and the menus has lots of great options. Unfortunately we did not receive great service when we went and waited very long to receive our food. It seemed like they were understaffed this particular night. Hopefully this will improve whenever we try Queenstown again.

Service was slow, food was cold and took forever to arrive. It was my father’s birthday, and there was no mention or acknowledgment of it so that we can sing happy birthday at any point during the brunch.

Poor service. Waited never refilled our drinks and never asked if we needed them refilled. We had also ordered additional food but I think the waiter forgot about us. We asked for ketchup and he never brought ketchup. He was super nice but just does not know how to be a good waiter. The restaurant was not very busy.

Absolutely had best experience. When I checked in the manager noted it was a birthday celebration for two friends and wished us happy birthday--later followed with wonderful dessert with two candles, one for each of us, at the end. He offered us as choice of seating but had reserved a wonderful table for us that combined best of indoor and outdoor seating. The waitstaff was totally spot on with friendliness and service...actually not just spot on but above and beyond. We frequently dine at the UTC Queenstown Bistro and really loved the La Jolla venue--so pretty with fun decorations and a variety of different seating areas. We plan to come back and drink a bottle of wine on half price wine day if we can get someone to drive us. I love that they have changed the fat steak fries to the skinny fries--absolutely delicious along with the sauces. I had Fav burger and asked for tomato chutney on side because I usually don't like chutney, but it was delicious. Kudos all around!

Hello JoAnn, we appreciate you celebrating with us! We are so happy to hear you had a good birthday and enjoyed your visit. We hope to see you again soon!
