I personally celebrated when Auckland's Portofino made an appearance in Christchurch. The chain has a long history of polished restaurant service and excellent, well-priced fare. In Christchurch, it has established a sexy little restaurant -- all mood and mirrors -- with a bountiful wine display, cute Italian waiters, and all the edible favorites from calzone and linguine through scampi, veal, scallops, prawns, and pastas.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
