Reviews of Sherwood Queenstown
Jun Ye Oh
The food itself was good, but the overall experience was extremely disappointing. We waited 53 minutes for our order to arrive, while the table next to us received their meals in just 15 minutes. After nearly an hour of waiting, our beef cheek arrived not even hot, which is unacceptable for a restaurant that claims to be 2-hat standard. Staff did check on our food a couple of times and showed a s...

I don’t really understand the negative reviews for Sherwood, it’s advertised and priced as a 3-Star hotel and punches so far above its weight for that.

Staff are hit or miss, I’ve only really encountered pleasant staff in the restaurant, people at reception aren’t very polite. One thin...

We didn’t stay at Sherwood, but were lucky enough to dine at their restaurant after a recommendation to check it out. Incredible is an understatement. It was absolutely divine. From the atmosphere to the service to the cocktails to the food... 10/10 experience. Can’t wait to return.
