Aluco Restaurant And Bar - Port Douglas

The restaurant offers a calming ambiance by the pool, perfect for unwinding. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The fish of the day was exquisite, complemented by delicious side vegetables and a lovely selection of wines. I highly recommend this place for a romantic dinner.

My main frustration, however, was the customer service. The staff seemed flustered and disorganized, even though the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We had to wait to be seated despite having made a reservation, and after we finally got our table, it took about 20 minutes for us to receive our menus, which is quite frustrating when you're really hungry! To top it off, they mixed up our cocktail orders.

The food and service were outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the duck was delightful. My only complaint is that I would have appreciated more than just one small piece of bread as a starter.

Aqua is the restaurant attached to the Sea Temple resort. The restaurant has indoor dining or outdoor overlooking the pool. Every second night the chefs present a themed buffet like Mexican or carvery nights. Lunchtime dining is light and simple.<br/ The resort is a big plus when it comes to cleanliness and professionalism.

Seafood platter was delicious. Dined at Aqua on a Tuesday night. had a cocktail before dinner and were offered the choice of moving to a poolside table as I had requested seating inside over the phone. Was much nicer outside! Ordered the seafood platter which was huge! two plates cooked to perfection. standout was the seafood chowder- amazing, so flavourful the Mr rated it better than chowderin San Fran. The barramundi was also so good, crispy skin and soft flesh. Also had dessert, lemon meringue and the chocolate plate, both tasty and well presented. Ambience was nice, very relaxing sitting pool side with dim lighting and music. Waitstaff were attentive as well. We'd definitely go back when in Port Douglas again.
