Thank you team for an amazing dining experience. We booked Lonestar Petone to host our fathers retirement celebration dinner. We had 22 diners (Adults and kids) and thoroughly enjoyed all our starters and meals. The service was great from the moment we walked in and were greeted by the friendly staff.

I can't speak highly enough of this dining establishment. It was an easy place for this introvert to be at, there was plenty of space to move around in, everything was clean and bright and it was incredibly relaxed. And the food was simply delicious! The service was excellent too!

Lovely waitstaff, great variety of food, only small let downs are price and food itself which can be a bit average but ultimately it's Lone Star and it's very consistent across the country and you either like that or you don't. Set up/style is unique in NZ which is a bonus also.

Kinda expensive...  See More
