Inside are wooden floors, walls and ceiling, with a myriad of matching lights hanging from chains of varying lengths, their reflections in the high windows adding further drama to their magical effects. The open kitchen is visible from the restaurant,dividing the two area's. The kitchen walls are tiled with fabulous red miniature tiles, and the bench fronts are sheathed in crumpled netting with lights behind them creating another very striking feature. The largest part of the restaurant is outside on wooden decks, overlooking the marina at one end and dense tropical greenery at the side. Cream leather bench seats create a half wall and very comfortable seating and in the centre are dark cane sofas with deep cream cushions. A large bar presides over illuminated ponds, surrounded by cube stools. Batterned ceilings, soft lighting and candles complete the romantic, Balinese atmosphere. From an excellent menu we enjoyed for starters Oysters Kilpatrick- chorizo, sweet and sour onions, glazed with parmesan cheese, served on a narrow white rectangular plate, displaying the oysters to perfection. Along with a seafood bouillabaisse, herbed local redclaw, roasted garlic croute, herb oil, micro herb salad. Both these plates were delicious, prepared and presented to perfection. For mains we had a chilled seafood platter, king prawns, moreton bay bugs, natural oysters, sweet cured ocean trout, crab tzatziki and avocado tian, local red claw, wasabi tuna, horseradish and dill aioli, creating a very appealing dish The other main was, a salt mash herb crusted lamb rack, with potato and rosemary gratin, mustard glazed dutch carrots, mini gel, port & red currant jus, absolutely divine. For deserts we chose a Salt House dessert tasting plate, again a real pleasure for the taste buds. While dinning met a much travelled, Western Australian entrepreneur who believes this place is Cairns' finest. A stunning location, with fabulous food, ensures a great dining experience.
Great food- especially loved the deserts!
I love the views of the inlet and mountains and the live bands are great. Food is always of a high standard
A beautifully relaxing setting, delicious food & cocktails... what more could you want!?
