    Lovely restaurant for lunch with an unusual menu, our choices were really nice & we were encouraged to order one or two dishes to share. The service wasn't too speedy but the staff were very pleasant. Overall a very nice place although I would have preferred to not have a food kiosk right outside the door where coffees & other food can be bought from. There's a "buzzer" system for coffees which disturbed the peace of the seated restaurant area.

    Wonderful staff and service, a lovely setting. A bit overpriced so couldn't afford to go often, nice for special occasions and we travelled from the NSW border.

    We were a party of 6 adults and 4 children under 10. The service was warm, and efficient. Children were served quickly and given colouring pencils and picture to occupy them. Food was fresh and tasty and interesting.

    It’s a beautiful restaurant with a relaxing outlook. Loved the pork tacos and steak. Staff were great, especially with a new menu. I ordered the pork cutlet and didn’t enjoy the flavouring on it. Special mention to Richard who handled everything seamlessly and replaced my meal. The bar doesn’t open till 5pm but we were very impressed with one of the ladies came over to us at 2.30pm and made me a wonderful espresso martini.
    Rainforest RestaurantResponded on 9 September 2024
    Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the pork tacos and steak, and that Richard took such good care of you. I’m sorry to hear the pork cutlet wasn’t to your liking, but I’m glad we could make things right. I’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to Richard and the lady who made your espresso martini! We’re always working to enhance our guest experience, and feedback like yours helps us a lot. Hope to see you back soon!

    Food was very nice. priced fair I guess. Service was a bit poor, waited a solid 20 minutes for our drinks which isn't smart from a business point of view. The eye fillet was cooked perfect and the outdoor dining area is beautiful.
    Rainforest RestaurantResponded on 9 September 2024
    Thank you for your feedback! I’m pleased you enjoyed the eye fillet and the outdoor dining area. I apologise for the delay with your drinks; the high volume of walk-ins that day impacted our service times. While this isn’t an excuse, I wanted to provide some context. We’re actively working to enhance the experience for all our guests. We appreciate your comments on the food and pricing and hope to offer you a smoother experience on your next visit.
