The girl behind the restaurant counter was extremely rude to me. I honestly wasn’t sure if I had said something wrong, or if she just didn’t like me. When I was paying for dinner, I asked if they made margaritas. She replied abruptly with “no,” so I left it at that, thanked her, and moved on. I then asked the bar staff the same question, and they were lovely—saying “of course” and happily taking my order. They even offered to bring it over once it was ready. All good—I got my marg and was happy. Dinner arrived shortly after. I had ordered the beef cheeks and my friend ordered the chicken. The same girl who had served me earlier brought my meal, but mine was cold while my friend’s was fresh and hot. I considered taking it back but decided to just eat it as it was. The whole experience left a sour taste—not because of the food itself, but because of the attitude of the girl behind the counter. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning. Nice fountain though. Loved everything about this club; we joined. The coffee, excellent! Other drinks, excellent! Breakfast, lunch and cakes all excellent. We had breakfast/brunch 3 days, dinner, salads, slices etc., all very good. Staff and service, very good to exceptional. The exception was the catered sit down 3 course dinner at our event. It was expensive but ordinary; bruschetta was soggy, main meals were either overcooked and too hard to eat (not sure even a steak knofe would have helped) and / or cold (fish) which my friend did not eat. Service was odd, clearing plates first, from last tables served, peculiar at best. Prawn entree seemed well liked. Dietary needs were not accomodated as 'booked'. Both desserts seemed well received, mine was lovely. Decor appropriate and very good, suitable for occasion. We know you were capable of so much better as we enjoyed everything else you provided for a full 5 days. I really wish I could make a positive review. Unfortunately I can not. I got chicken wings that tasted like plastic and my kids (who are big not fussy eaters) couldn't even finish their burgers. Hubby enjoyed his steak though. I do not feel this environment is good for kids. The lay out is very complicated, there was no clear sign as to were to order food. It all feels really dated. The staff were mostly really good though and I could see they were making an effort.

First time visit. Very impressed with the venue, quality of food and the service. The $5 membership fee was recouped ordering our lunch -roast pork and beef with selection of vegetable followed by apple crumble and ice cream. The dining area is roomy, comfortable and staffed by friendly people. We will definitely be back during our 3 months stay in Cairns.

Nice open, airy and clean space Service was satisfactory Meal was 'adequate' The lamb cutlets were tender and cooked 'ok', just a little over but not bad But they were flavourless - lacked a tasty marinading or good pre-serve seasoning Pizza was 'okay' The cheffing is average, and I wouldn't visit to eat here again - not because it was bad, but because it wasn't especially good and therefore not a sufficient value proposition Needs a bit more passion and up-skilling in the kitchen
