The service here was excellent though the food doesn’t live up to expectations.

Really nice spot for a coffee, with great views of the marina and the people passing by. That said, the service was super slow and terrible, even though there was only three other tables occupied. They offer a breakfast buffet, that we might try, but hopefully it’s faster service.

Omg! The best meal I think I’ve ever had. I literally could not fault anything. So many gluten free options and the staff so knowledgeable about food allergies. They came back to double check things with me. The steak was literally the best I’ve ever tried.

Celebrated my friend’s birthday at the Backyard. A good selection of menu including vegetarian dishes. Overall, the food and drinks are good! The atmosphere is relaxed with a stunning view of the marina. Perfect for large groups and families. Parking is available at Shangrila

Best seafood in a long time. They had a seafood charcuterie board that I hadn’t seen before. The food was divine. Crispy skin salmon was great and the vegetarian options were good. Lots to chose from with friendly, helpful staff. We will be back.

Fantastic experience and great food! We returned from a fishing charter at 4pm. The team were handed our catch and in the time it took for us to return after a shower, Mel and Rochelle presented us with 5 exceptional dishes. Each dish was perfectly matched to the variety of fish that we caught and tasted absolutely incredible. Thank you for such a personalised and memorable experience!

Lovely place to dine in cairns. Food is very sophisticated and delicious. They also serve vegetarian meals. Friendly staff, always get a bottle of free water, and during happy hour (5-7 pm) beer and wine is half the price! Once we discovered this place, we went tree times. So many delicious meals to try. Definitely recommended
