Utterly delightful! Elegant and relaxed settings (and quiet, so you can actually talk and hear!), super friendly and knowledgeable staff, a delightful wine pairing and amazing food. Spectacular special experience.

We had a beautiful meal at Arbour. Finesse in the execution, care and respect for the produce with some surprises for the palate. I must say the citrus notes are really good in this 7-course menu.

Desserts are sometimes a hit and miss, but Arbour did a very good job. I will be dreaming of the lime cremeaux in days to come.

The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We felt very welcomed.

I was part of a group celebrating our friends 60th. We had multiple courses, the food was 1st class. The service was top notch, awesome venue.

It’s a great restaurant. Make sure to call ahead for reservations, they don’t do walk-ins. The food was well worth the price.

Absolutely delicious food. My girlfriend and I had "The Many" which is every dish on their seasonal changing menu. My personal favorite was the smoked curd dumplings but there were no bad dishes that left the kitchen.
Definitely would recommend for your next date night.

A fine dining experience that will not be forgotten! The food was superb, the wine matches were spot on, the service was excellent. The ambiance was delightful.
Perfect.

A delightful atmosphere with a niche menu to tantalize the taste buds. The many for two set menu was filled with expression and delight. An adventure of taste and the storytelling behind each dish is both enlightening and entertaining. A place to visit at least once in a lifetime.

We came here on the recommendation of a friend. We are so glad we did. By far the most outstanding restaurant we have attended in New Zealand. The service and menu were top tier and world class. As others have said this is not just a meal but an experience and one we will not soon forget. The food was light and full of flavour and encouraged me to try things I would not usually be open to. The wine list was also impressive with the staff able to competently make recommendations to suit our preferences. Superb all round and worth every penny. There was nothing I did not enjoy. Get here if you haven't already, it is an absolute must while in Blenheim. Thank you!

This was without a doubt the best dining experience I have ever had. From the environment to the food, to the service and everything in between I cannot sing your praises enough above and beyond in every aspect. Genuine hospitality and just wow! If you are wanting a top notch experience go here!

What an amazing meal, we decided to go for the 7 courses, with wine pairing, that was a great decision. We were not only satisfied afterwards, but the amazing details that the staff informed us into why that wine would go with this type of meal. Staff were very friendly, and informative, the meal it's self was amazing, cooked to perfection, I even had something don't normally eat. It wasn't a problem to change something on the menu if you couldn't eat it. And if you had dietary needs it wasn't a problem. I gave this rating because I would never normally go to a restaurant like this and I was very happy with my experience there. Yes the money we spent was worth it.

Came here for the 7 course dinner and we were absolutely blown away by the service and quality of food and wine. Tasted flavours we didn't realise existed! This is a must go restaurant if you're in the region. Thanks for having us!

Such a lovely experience! The food was so unbelievably good, I’ve never had food like it, and the waitresses knew everything about the wine it was very impressive and everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.
