Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Coral Sea Pavilion offers a "fabulous location" with "beautiful views" and a "pleasant, resort-like ambiance." While some diners found the experience disappointing due to missing ingredients or slow service, others praised the "excellent service," "delicious food," and "magnificent" hospitality. Seafood dishes and steak are culinary highlights, and Chris's service is especially commendable.

We had a lovely dinner - food was excellent and the location lovely with the sunset. Only one quibble which was that we were keen to order wine with our entrees but had eaten them by the time we managed to get attention. Not a big deal. Definitely going back. Highly recommend.

Expected a full dining experience but it was only "pool side menu". So we had 1 glass of wine and left. Waitress was lovely and so was the wine. But overall I came from the Gold Coast expecting a fine dining lunch. Very disappointing.

Just felt disappointed with the food as I booked this restaurant to celebrate my partner’s 30th birthday and had high expectations. Our mains were bland and there were missing ingredients in one which we asked for explanation and we were said that unfortunately they were sold out of that ingredient for the day. Quite sad especially because the kitchen should advise the floor staff prior starting the service!! My partner chose that main especially for that ingredient otherwise he’d have taken something different from the menu. We just haven’t enjoyed as we wanted!

Ordered one starter to share, mains and two drinks. Starter came after 15 minutes and drinks after 30. And only because we called the waiter twice.

My husband had the lamb undercooked and very fatty didn't want the sauce so had red wine jus for 3 pieces of lamb was $48 for small pieces .My daughter and I shared $149 for seafood platter that came with no oysters in my opinion that's unacceptable replaced with 3 scallops nice but we wanted the oysters maybe kitchen should have better stock control and you have to pay for sides should be included in what you order .We are residents and all 3 of us were disappointed
