    Unfortunately, our experience this time was very disappointing. The waitress was extremely rude from the beginning. She approached us with “what do you want?” and when we said we were still deciding, considering we had only just been seated, she simply walked away. There was no friendliness or even a smile throughout our visit. The food was equally disappointing. It was dry and lacked flavour, which was especially frustrating as we had the same dish here last year and really enjoyed it. We came back specifically because we had such a good experience last time and were looking forward to having the dish again. Unfortunately, this visit completely changed our impression of the restaurant. We left feeling very disappointed and were honestly excited to leave by the end.

    Booking 6.00pm . No chicken . No potato Gratin available with the fish as printed in menu but upon further enquiry it became available instead of a mash that was not the original accompaniment Stacking/packing up tables/chairs around us before 8.00pm in our area was a big no no

    Fantastic dinner and we were well looked after from the first second. Service was outstanding and very attentive. We were well informed about the menu, with genuine advice about choice. The food was awesome, with sensible portion and cooked to perfection. We were attended by a single person who was both Friendly, professional and curious. It was very welcoming and enjoyable. Not our first visit and will not be our last. My wife had the pork curry and she was very impressed with what can be a difficult dish to get right. In all, a perfect evening. On another note, I requested a specific champagne and the owner took it upon himself to go out and purchase our choice.

    We always make a point of visiting The Deck whenever we’re in Airlie-it’s one of our favourite places. The breakfast is amazing, and the seafood platter for two is something we always order. Unfortunately, this visit was really disappointing. It felt like the staff just didn’t want to be there, especially our waitress with the curly hair in a high ponytail. We waited so long to be offered drinks that my partner ended up going to the bar himself. We also had to ask for menus and later for the dessert menu. It honestly felt like serving us was an inconvenience. When you’re spending a decent amount of money on a nice dinner, you expect friendly, attentive service. We’ve always had fantastic experiences here with happy, welcoming staff, which is why this visit was so disappointing. We really hope this was just an off night, as we’d love to see the service return to the high standard we’ve always enjoyed. Also, please bring back the old seafood platter with the barramundi ceviche! It was absolutely amazing and one of the main reasons we always looked forward to dining here. We were so disappointed to see it wasn’t on the menu anymore.
