A dedication to quality and a stellar line-up of award-winning team members has seen Skyline Rotorua recognised with a 2014 Beef and Lamb Excellence Award for the second consecutive year.
It was one of seven Rotorua restaurants to earn the prestigious award, which is only given to restaurants whose beef and lamb cuisine reaches the highest standard of New Zealand fine dining.
Skyline received the award for its East Cape-raised Wagyu Angus-cross scotch fillet and Canterbury High Country lamb. Both dishes are cooked to order from the Art of the Grill menu, which sits alongside the buffet dining.
Skyline Rotorua general manager Bruce Thomasen said the team, led by food and beverage manager John Watson and executive chef Fred Kreutmayer, were thrilled to receive the award for the second time.
"Last year's award was a first for us, so to follow it up with a second award the following year is tribute to the superior quality of food and service our restaurant staff consistently produce.
