Steamer Wharf: Restaurants, Bars, Casino by Kakapo2
This part of the lakeside has been updated to a kind of entertainment centre, with some restaurants, bars, a small casino, and the office and pier of the TSS Earnslaw. As this area which borders the Boardwalk is a strictly pedestrian area, it is very nice to sit there outdoors and enjoy a pleasant evening.
The Boardwalk Restaurant is famous for its wonderful seafood dishes. Frasers Bar & Grill is quite pleasant. Also the Minus 5° Ice Bar and the Yacht Club are located there. You get Italian fare at Luciano?s. Finz Down Under is also specialised in seafood. The Wai Waterfront Restaurants serves NZ fare. The Juice Stop completes the places you can enjoy.
