Had dinner here and everything was amazing. The food was fresh, flavourful and worth the price. The service was fast, friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, perfect for a nice evening out. I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely come back again. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Waterbar & Grill Steakhouse in Cairns and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the team greeted us with warm congratulations and genuine excitement, which instantly made the evening feel very special. We were seated at a beautiful table overlooking the glistening water and boats, setting the scene for a truly romantic night. Several of the staff knew it was our anniversary and their attention and friendliness made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. The food was exceptional — I ordered the espetada, which was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender, while my husband said his Rib eye steak was one of the best he’s ever had, especially with the chilli sauce, which was outstanding. We even got to take home some complimentary sauces! The dessert presentation, complete with sparkles and a “Happy Anniversary” sign, was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. We left feeling very loved-up and grateful — it was the perfect way to end our special day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful meal with outstanding service and atmosphere! We had the pleasure of having dinner at the Waterbar & Grill Steakhouse with our friends tonight. This restaurant is famous for its steaks so we each ordered a steak dish accompanied with some salads, red wine and then shared a dessert. The meals were delicious with our steaks cooked perfectly. Location is quite panoramic facing the waterfront of the Coral Sea with the restaurant staff both friendly and courteous. Great place which is highly recommended if your looking to have a fantastic grilled meat dish.

Absolutely loved this place. We got it as a recommendation from some local friends and they didnt steer us wrong! Food was exceptional and the view was beautiful. Would come here again next time I’m in town. The wagyu steak was the best steak I’ve ever eaten hands down!
