Loved this place. They had a great lunch special last week until 4pm for any 2 courses for $24.50 which included a glass of wine. All 4 meals were fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed sharing them. The freshest seafood like it was straight from the ocean. Right on the esplanade at Cairns so you could just sit back and enjoy... More

YUM - sat back, relaxed and enjoyed the food and wine immensely. Perfect place for a long Sunday lunch and the lunch special included two courses and a glass of wine for $25. Pacific Fusion is always my favourite here but the Calamari Frito Misto with Thai Salad is a new contender and I am still savouring the wonderful taste.

Had a fabulous meal here. Atmosphere was nice. Lovely outdoor open setting. Staff quite nice, though slow at the start. Couldn't fault food, only not enough on my plate (haha). Definitely check this place out

Arrived without a booking mid evening We were promptly seated with water at the table. The service was prompt and the food was quick out of the kitchen. One of the members of our party Ordered the sword fish it was disappointing. All the other meals were good. For what we received I found it to be expensive and just... More

We had lunch here one weekday and it was a very enjoyable meal. The food was lovely and the service was attentive and prompt. We had a couple of lunch specials so the value was excellent. We would definitely visit again.

This meal was both my partners and my favourite meal in FNQ. I had the barramundi topped with salsa and my partner had the BBQ Seafood Mixed Grill. We are both still thinking about this meal and comment if we ever get back to Cairns this will be the first meal we eat. Thank you Raw Prawn

We dined early so got a good discount on our meals. The service was excellent, our waiter was very friendly. My hubby had the sample plate of different meats including emu, croc, kangaroo and local fish. I had the steak meal, both were cooked to perfection and the waiter recommended a beer to match the meal.

I felt really at home at this restaurant particulary because of service. It is a very popular restaurant too. Imagine this: we are ten minutes late to the restaurant because of our flight into Cairns and our table was taken. We waited at the bar for 15 minutes until a spot opened. The soft shell crab entree was delicious. The... More

Food was decent, but at these prices, I expect way better than decent. Service was slow by American standards, but seemed typical by Australian standards. Really, the problem was just the prices. If I had this food at half the price, it'd be a 4-star place.
