Seafood platter seriously overpriced for frozen, bland and poorly cooked produce. Meat platter of equal value was overcooked, dry and tasteless. Very disappointing quality and value

We were running late due to road works and land slides on our way from Cairns but the restaurant was kind enough to accommodate us in the last minute. The service was amazing too !! The ambience and the views were out of this world Thanks

What a lovely place to have lunch. We watched the birds bathe in a little bath situated on top of a tree right in front of our beautiful view of the ocean and treetops. The food was excellent and the staff were very accommodating. Overall an amazing experience. Thank you.

We are locals and had visited Osprey's regularly up to about 2 years ago when I had a terrible experience with a grey, overcooked, piece of barramundi which I really should have sent back. However, we decided we simply would not come back. The limited lunch menu was also a factor. However, we had heard good reports recently and decided that we should give it another go and wow what a difference! Now there is a more extensive lunch menu so that regulars have something different to choose from on visits. The staff were very helpful and the food and wine superb, I highly recommend it. Just one small thing - the furniture is looking dated and to be honest when you are looking at hip surgery in the not-too-distant future the wooden chairs very uncomfortable.

Buggy picked us up from carpark avoiding a lovely uphill walk to restaurant, food was delicious & generous serves. We were seated in middle table & waitress moved us to a table with an amazing water view when other guests left. She did this without us asking & was a lovely gesture as moved before our meal arrived. Was lovely to see the faciities etc….if staying at resort. Highly recommended.
