  • Rib steak, 450 grams, NZ$29 - Christchurch
    Rib steak, 450 grams, NZ$29
    by knerten
    Bar/pub/restaurant. Friday night, so a lot people, loud and noisy, hard to make a conversation. We were sitting in an outdoor tent, heated by gas lanters that did not work (kept going on and off), so our feet were freezing cold, and the upper body so-so. Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves. I guess it was just not the right season to be sitting outside. Inside would have been too crowded. Good food, so if you're coming for the food, try during the day, not at night, and not on a Friday night.

    Rib steak. A 450 gram (1 pound) steak on the bone, served on roasted potates with salad. A very simple dish, but tasty and filling. I asked for rare and it was perfectly rare, just right. NZ$ 29.50. Judging from what else I had tried in Chch this seemed a bit overpriced. Looking at what the other people in party had, which cost about the same, and which was deliciously prepared and served, the price was right. It's just that I chose the simple dish with no thrills.

    I read of Sticky Fingers from several popular reviews such as in Frommers but did not see it reviewed by any VT members.

    Some said the name of the restaurant could be tied to a Rolling Stone album....but well...you sure get your fingers sticky in this bar - restaurant.

    The first thing that caught my eye was the door handle - which is shaped like a golden spread out palm (our hand ok) and also the lamp shades than hangs on the dining boothtype seats. And very funny - I saw the same lights at the Art Centre in the Artisan section and I went back another day to the Art Centre - and he said he was commissioned to do that for the restaurant.

    Otherwise the interior was very ordinary.

    My favourite dish would be my main course - the roast rackof lamb with roasted garlic and potato and baby beetroot was really yummy. The sauce was also very delicious. My husband's salmon was not flash. We also shared an entree - a platter of seafood which had two of each - seared scallop, freshly shucked oyster and boiled scampi. to finish off we had a tiramisu,...very yummy.

    with fruit juice the bill came up to NZ100 - pretty much as we expected.

    the service was commandable. we asked for directions to the casino and the waitress was so kind to draw it out on the map and re-assured us it was safe to walk through the park.

    It is very conveniently located, near the CBD. Oxford Terrace is lined by numerous cafes & restaurants - a good choice of different styles. The atmosphere is great with the river flowing in front, and the restaurant is open till late (unlike some in Cathedral Square). Good selection of wines - we had decided to taste different Kiwi wines during our stay and were not disappointed (very comparable to the great Aussie wines). With both indoor & outdoor sitting, you can take you pick according to the weather. However, beware - nights on South Island can get a bit chilly even during summer and it might be worth carrying a light jacket. The inside decor is interesting - lots of wooden hands (& fingers) holding the lights - check out picture at Sticky Fingers
