Mariners - Whitsunday Islands

Excellent service and good eating, was pleasantly surprised with diet options available

Expensive but worth. eating is delicious! the fish was cooked to perfection.

Mariners was our most expensive and least preferred meal on the island. the profis: loved the tuna tartar, service was excellent and the setting is stunning. the conse: did not love the barramundi, the red snapper, the sauce on the broccolini and the salat.

What we hoped to be a romantic evening was spoiled by an over priced menu for the quality of meals ordered. We are a mature couple and well travelled. As a result we are qualified to provide the following critique. We ordered the whole snapper and the whiting dishes. First the snapper was under sized and at $56, extremely expensive. It was over cooked and was poorly presented with only a bunch of garlic accompanying it. Second the Whiting at $42 was overcooked and the serving very small To be clear, we don't mind expensive meals providing we get value. This restaurant has a long way to go if it is to provide value. Finally the background music reminded us of elevator music. Management would greatly assist in this regard by investing in a Spotify account, or something similar, for some appropriate dinner music.On a positive note the staff were professional and friendly. And the views of the Marina from the restaurant were exceptional. I would be happy for management to contact me to discuss our very unhappy experience.

Restaurant on the marina pier that offers excellent views and a menu mainly based on fish. definitely recommended although the cost of a dinner is not suitable for everyone. impeccable service.
