Had a lively dinner date with the wife at the Keystone. A little out of main town but worth the visit! The staff were all friendly and the food there was amazing. They even had gluten free and dairy free options. Will definitely visit again :)

I recently visited Keystone Restaurant in Dunedin, and it was a lovely experience. The venue was warm, cozy, and inviting, with a great atmosphere. The service was top-notch - my order was taken in a friendly, no-fuss manner that made me feel right at home. The garlic bread loaf was delicious and warm, although it might have been a bit large for one person (perfect for sharing with 2-3 others!). The spaghetti marinara was a highlight, with generous portions and a great selection of fresh seafood in a creamy tomato sauce. And the homemade apple crumble for dessert was absolutely delightful - it didn't stand a chance! As a small touch, the staff made me a Nescafé on the house when they didn't have coffee with dessert, which was a nice surprise. Overall, Keystone Restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices. I'd definitely recommend it for a casual meal out.

Keystone restaurant & bar is a great restaurant offering affordable drinks and meals. Had a fantastic pizza that they let me make from scratch with ingredients that I wanted on it… They even had prawns, actual prawns and a lot of them. The pizza was so good that we went back a second night and indulged in their very well priced pasta dishes. Really great value for money, very good service and a lovely location that overlooks Andy Bay. 10/10 To management who are doing a great job at this local suburban restaurant and bar. I wish you well going forward and it was nice to have such great southern hospitality Regards, Melissa

Great restaurant and so glad to have discovered it on a trip around Dunedin. Fantastic interior (and music, if you're into the 70s & 80s), super quick service and delicious meals.

Fantastic venue for 21st celebrations. It was super easy to organise and arrangements were all very relaxed and flexible. Food platters were fabulous, lots of compliments. Great size and setup. Birthday boy very happy. 5 stars from us! Thanks Keystone!
