   Expected a full dining experience but it was only "pool side menu". So we had 1 glass of wine and left. Waitress was lovely and so was the wine. But overall I came from the Gold Coast expecting a fine dining lunch. Very disappointing.

   Just felt disappointed with the food as I booked this restaurant to celebrate my partner’s 30th birthday and had high expectations. Our mains were bland and there were missing ingredients in one which we asked for explanation and we were said that unfortunately they were sold out of that ingredient for the day. Quite sad especially because the kitchen should advise the floor staff prior starting the service!! My partner chose that main especially for that ingredient otherwise he’d have taken something different from the menu. We just haven’t enjoyed as we wanted!

   Food was fabulous. Seafood dishes were perfection and steak was cooked exactly as ordered. Staff were attentive and interactions were enjoyable. Had a great time, definitely recommend.

   Ordered one starter to share, mains and two drinks. Starter came after 15 minutes and drinks after 30. And only because we called the waiter twice.

   My husband had the lamb undercooked and very fatty didn't want the sauce so had red wine jus for 3 pieces of lamb was $48 for small pieces .My daughter and I shared $149 for seafood platter that came with no oysters in my opinion that's unacceptable replaced with 3 scallops nice but we wanted the oysters maybe kitchen should have better stock control and you have to pay for sides should be included in what you order .We are residents and all 3 of us were disappointed

    What an amazing place to dine - next a blue pool - and the Coral Sea in all its beauty.
