The cous cous made a fine light starch which soaked up the juices nicely. $22NZ Moroccan Lamb Kebabs...the wife wasn't too hungry, so she ordered this appetizer/entree as her main course...these kebabs were seasoned perfectly and far more flavorful than my Osso Buco. They should turn this into a main course! Unfortunately I didn't get to eat here again, but I would definitely eat here again on my next visit.

The interior was rustic, spacious, with a warm and comforting ambiance. I wanted to try a little of everything, so ordered the Flame Mixed Grill ($67 NZ), which consisted of famous Ribs, grilled Sirloin Steak, Boerewors Sausage, rotisserie Peri Peri Chicken, along with roasted baby potatoes with sour cream. This took awhile to come out, but it was worth it! Ribs were sticky in a bold, smoky, tangy, savory BBQ sauce. The meat was delightfully tender. Steak was cooked perfectly, succulent, and well seasoned. Sausage was slightly charred and quite juicy, paired wonderfully with flavorful chimichurri. Chicken was not really my favorite, as I found it lacked flavor and was a bit dry. Potatoes were soft and pillowy that worked nicely with the creamy sour cream, but only 3 small ones. Service was solid. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was tasty and it was a lovely, hearty feast of a dinner!

We wanted to go to fergburger, but was recommended that this place was actually better. After tasting both, I don't quite agree with that take, but Atlas was still darn good, and there were places to sit, relax, and enjoy the day, which is a way better vibe Fergburger. Pork belly: a glutinous app that is definitely only for those who like high amounts of fat. The fat section was more than typical and had a great jello-esque texture with a crispy outside, perfect for pork belly. The sauce was also nicely sweet and sticky, just adding to the whole texture of the dish. Again this dish is not for those who are just wanting to "try" pork belly. Grilled Cheeseburger: The burger was great, no doubt about it. Double patty, double cheese, caramelized onions, just a classic combo done well. If you're looking for a great burger with a great view, come here, and grab a beer to pair along with it! All that being said, the meat was just not as seasoned and the depth of flavors weren't quite there compared to Fergburger. If you were forced to go to only one of these places, I would still try Fergburger.F

It is a very small place (especially when it's rainy and you can't sit outside). We met a local that knew the owner and was just so fun to talk to. We covered everything from good places to eat, the New Zealand culture and life in general. He gave us a few ideas on what we could try to do (although even he said it is tough to find things as Queenstown offers mainly outdoor adventures). The beer and the selection was pretty good and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed all the random items all over the walls. Very nice and causal place, overlooking the river.

We started with the liver parfait and we definitely recommend that. Also had the bone marrow, but there was almost no bone marrow to speak of.

The scotch cut Wagyu was again just OK. We had three sides, mashed potatoes, cream, spinach, and scorched carrots. Of those three I would only order the scorch carrots again. For the prices, we were pretty disappointed. Maybe it's because I know what good steak is in Texas.
