3.5 stars A contemporary restaurant right by the bridge, this is a good place for food around here.

Visitors to this fine dining establishment in Townsville had mixed experiences with the food and service. One reviewer was dissatisfied with the small portions of plant-based dishes, noting a lack of flavor and substance. Another patron had inconsistent visits, with some meals being excellent while others were disappointing. The restaurant was praised for offering a separate vegetarian menu with vegan options clearly marked. Reviewers enjoyed the tasty and creative vegan dishes available. Overall, the restaurant received praise for its delicious food, knowledgeable staff, and beautiful setting, making it a worthwhile dining experience despite some occasional misses with certain dishes.
