The booking we made was for. 2 course meal for three, there was no option for just choosing a main meal,only, it was either 2 course or three course. 2 course cost $85 per person and if you chose say moreton bay bugs they added another $25 with no explanation that this would happen. The wine was so expensive, $18 a glass. we passed and had water. They are obviously aiming at the elite market. They do not accept cash as hamilton island is cashless and this is a real,pain in the neck if you do not reside in Australia
This restaurant presents itself as a step up from the hotel and resort options, and as far as atmosphere they are right. It is a great location, relatively quiet and nice decor . Customer service is adequate, certainly not exceptional but adequate. The food though is mediocre at best. I had the charred octopus entree and Moreton Bay bugs for main, both were little better, and possibly below, a pub meal standard. I also had a side of charred brocolini which was stone cold, wilted and soggy. The things that save ? This place from a much lower rating are the location and atmosphere. The pricing, given the quality was way too high and definitely not worth it.
Last night, our group of 6 went to Mariners for dinner. We found it to be quite expensive and felt pressured by an unfriendly waiter. We ordered a bottle of rose and white wine to share, but the waiter poured half of the rose into one person's glass, prompting us to purchase another bottle. It seemed like a clever upselling tactic. In the end, the meal was pricey and the overall experience was disappointing.
This was a special occasion which I’d advised when booking and was just a little disappointed that nothing was mentioned throughout the evening. We’d been looking forward to a celebratory special evening for some time due to us living in different areas of the globe. My daughter and her husband and my husband and I choose the seafood platters for 2 which were superb. Everything was presented very nicely and when the ordered grilled fish didn’t appear initially, and we told the waitress not to worry, the grilled fish did appear very quickly afterwards. I’m afraid the lack of full stars is because when clearing of the plates at the conclusion of the meal, all stacking of dishes was done at the table, in front of us. Not a good impression I’m afraid and a let down after a special meal.
Loved this place, very helpful friendly staff, nice food, laidback atmosphere. Watch out for those crazy magpies who steal your chips.
