Delicious amazing flavoured burgers. Big selection. Very accommodating with vegan & gluten free menu. Only negative was my partner said his gf bun was dry, suggest this be toasted. Funky vibe atmosphere with link to beer spot next door which goes hand in hand.
River Kitchen catered for our event over three days, and were absolutely superb. We had vegan and gluten free catering, and they provided delicious varied options. Their customer service is also top quality, we would absolutely use them again.
This has become my favourite place to eat out in Nelson. The food is always fresh and delicious (the dolma are heavenly!), and the service is always excellent. The food is very reasonably priced for the portion and taste, and they are able to cater to coeliacs.
Make sure to get an apple tea with your meal and you'll leave happy!
The Aperol Spritz was amazing; however, the manager was incredibly rude. One of my friends is gluten intolerant, so we were looking for gluten-free pizza. They had some on the menu, but then they told us they couldn’t make it that day after we had already ordered our drinks. Everything was fine, and we enjoyed our drinks, but we couldn’t order anything to eat and decided to just have drinks and go somewhere else for dinner. When we told the waiter, the manager came over and said we had 20 minutes to finish our drinks and leave. Ten minutes later, he shouted at us, saying he needed the table and that this was not “a bar.”
I can't remember the last time I was treated so rude and disrespectful in a restaurant. Never again!
Excellent gluten free options for my husband. Wonderful pad thai and green curry! Gorgeous view of the water. Washrooms big and super clean. Lovely decor.
Dined in at the restaurant, my partner is a coeliac and had a gluten-free Pad Thai. I got myself the Duck Roti (highly recommend, can easily feed two), and a chicken Pad Thai. The staff were amazing and very friendly, service was very good and food came out fast. Would definitely dine there again.
We celebrated a family occasion and knew we would be a happy party so we booked the small private room which was perfect for a small group. Julian the waiter was exceptional.. his service to us was knowledgeable on the food and wine he served. Very professional and laughed along with party. He did very well to manage a happy party. We had Trust the Chef which was not short of amazing, fresh well presented food and Julian did well catering for our gluten free dairy free and peanut allergies
Absolutely blown away with the service we received tonight.
All the staff were super friendly, polite and the service was so quick. Such a relaxed atmosphere.
My hubby ordered his meal to be Gluten Free so we could share meals, he ordered a side of Mushroom Sauce (not gf) and the manager came to talk to us about the fact it was not gluten free and would put in in a side dish to prevent cross contamination. The extra care blew my mind, you do not find this at many restaurants and to be honest most places I have dined at lately the service has been less than average but not the Lone Star Nelson. If you want good food, great atmosphere and incredible service this place should not be missed.
Thank you so much.
Oh my goodness..... what a meal! Started with some edamame beans with a garlic twist..... being gluten free, there were only two things on the menu for a main. Not feeling like sashimi, we had the lamb..... exploding with a flavour punch and falling apart with tenderness..... holy crap the meal ended too soon..... so we asked about a gluten free dessert, not disappointed at all!..... the chocolate miso delice was to die for..... the chefs, wait staff and bar persons have truly given us a meal and drinkies to remember..... thank you for your hard work and service for your customers......

Superb food, great location! Although the menu looks uninviting in regard to dietary accommodations, they are extremely willing to accommodate for any. Perfect for someone who is severely celiac. The server was friendly, and coffee was yummy. Will be returning when I next visit Nelson 🙂
I enjoyed a wonderful evening dinner on the deck with perfect weather and great company the Friday before last. The wait staff were very friendly, polite and some of us had particular requests in relation to the menu. One person was gluten free. I am not a coleslaw fan so the young man said he would check with the chef as to an alternative salad. I said some green leaves and tomato would suffice but was given a Greek salad to go with my steak and chips which exceeded my expectations.
Only one gripe. I ordered the steak, and the menu stated it was a Rib Eye Fillet. I have been around for quite some time and the meat I received was probably a sirloin or rump. The shape or taste was nothing life a rib eye fillet and it required a steak knife to eat it. It was cooked to perfection but not what the menu stated. Otherwise a very pleasant evening in the most perfect setting in Nelson.
We’re never disappointed at our local Dominos. Speed of service, app ordering a breeze, always have service with a smile. We love the offers too. Kudos Richmond store!
Only shame is the $4 surcharge for gluten free base. That price hike is a bit steep
I usually am a lover of the vic for their gluten free burgers, i’m not sure if they changed the gluten free bun they used or just ran out but it was very soggy and not crunchy at all like usual, please bring it back if you have gotten rid of it
You have to hit the Stefanos -> Movies night. Every time I come home to Nelson we do it. Best pizza in NZ. Thanks to our waiter - Jesse for the awesome service. Gluten Free options too.
worth the price. good selection of food most of it are gluten free which makes it more interesting to have breakfast. no need for booking. accomodating staff
Really disappointing gluten-free fish and chips meal. Fish didn't taste fresh and it wasn't battered. I can do better myself at home with gluten-free tempura batter. The salad didn't appear fresh either. I really liked the chips though. My friend said one of her pieces of fish didn't taste right either and neither of us felt 100% on the way home. Anchor used to have a really good name.
this is me leaving my first and only google review. this place is incredible. the staff were the kindest people ever and so catering, I reserved a table for 6pm and at 5:50pm called up to change my reservation time to 6:30pm because we were running late and they were so incredibly polite about it and made it such an easy experience. the food we got was cooked to absolute perfection and tasted so good, and as someone with celiac, there were so many gluten-free options to choose from which is sometimes hard to come across. the serving times were relatively quick considering that the restaurant was almost a full house. overall my experience was an 11/10 and I will definitely be bringing my girlfriend back here in the future.
