We had an excellent meal, especially the dessert where my husband asked to have the chocolate mousse and berry coulis without the crepe but with ice-cream. This didn’t seem any bother and we much appreciate this. The wine too was very good indeed. One waitress was very good; the other was slightly not with it, we thought, though pleasant enough.
Wonderful food and great service!!
Great service and the food was excellent
Great service and delicious food thanks.
Friendly, helpful staff especially as my husbands credit card was declined.(Bank has closed it down due to unusual activity, great but embarrassing). Staff were very understanding while we got it sorted. We will be back.
Food was exceptional our guests were very impressed
Really lovely meal. Would definitely recommend for dinner. Food was 5 star Didn’t realize that the only ID you accepted was NZ drivers license or passport so couldn’t order a drink. A reminder of this on the website when booking would have been great.
It would be beneficial if an allergy key was provided on menu. Those with an allergy don't like to make a fuss so a simple listing saves needing to ask on items or getting surprised on items that the allergen is not expected in. These lists of allergens are standard in restaurants and cafes across Scandinavia and much of Europe.
we had a wonderfull night at shawtys,everything was just perfekt. thank you. sabine

Best coffee in Twizel, very professional staff (and management) Loved eating there from the day it opened!!
Great food and service. Came back for coffee the next day
Thanks for the delicious meals. Our group of 5 really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.
Very impressed with this restaurant. The food was exquisite. The service improved as the night went on, or we were more tolerant of the young ladies who served us, who were a wee bit abrupt to begin with (possibly a cultural difference???) . However, the food was absolutely top notch. From our entrees, mains to the desserts. Fantastic
Delicious as always. Definitely recommend the pork dish
Pork filet dish was incredible! My husband also loved the beef cheeks.
Out catering on time, fresh and varied. Recommend
First time visit here, great food, service with polite waiting staff, I would definitely recommend to others
I have already recommended Shawty's to all my friends and family, great service, I loved the delicious food that warmed my tummy, they were perfect portions so nothing was wasted I even had space to have dessert which I rarely do. It was also nice to see something different on the dessert menu instead of the boring standard you get at most restaurants, don't go changing.
Out catering on time and delicious
Shawtys has maintained a high standard, I’ve not thought at any time you have dropped the eight ball. Your meals are always superb, desserts yummy.
Out catering, great food choice and service
10 out of 10. We all enjoyed our meals so much we haven’t stopped raving about them.
Not big fan of coloured lights, felt a little crowded but delicious food and helpful staff for a couple of our party who were gf and dairy free
