Watergate Port Douglas

Had an amazing dinner here tonight — definitely a five-star experience. The Tuna Tartare and Duck Pancakes were delicious starters. For mains, we had the poached market fish and the kangaroo — both cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The Geisha Girl cocktail was a standout too — fresh, smooth, and really well balanced. Service was excellent. The staff were not only friendly and attentive but also really knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer great suggestions. You can tell they love what they do. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing. Shout out to Xavi his service was next level - thank you for making our night so lovely. Your service has been a highlight of our trip. Thank you from Melbourne 😁

The first restaurant that we really enjoyed in this town. Our previous experiences were qiute mediocre..this place has a creative menu and morden approach to food presentations. Had a kangaroo and beef as main. Both - fantastic! Italian Pinot Grigio was nice, dry and fruity. Service was very good!

I just had dinner here this evening and it was delicious. Great service, loved the ambience of the dining space, gorgeous lighting and lots of greenery. Food was reasonably priced, portion size was great, lovely plated presentation and most importantly very very delicious. Would definitely come back again.

We arrived for our reservation at 6:30, and didn’t get our first round of drinks until 7:01 and didn’t get our mains until 7:57 - so nearly an hour and a half wait; and we didn’t have starters, just one serve of bread for the table. I have no idea what went so wrong with the wait time. However it was a beautiful venue, gorgeous natural tree lined deck.. and the waitress we had was lovely. We then ordered dessert and a coffee was forgotten, or didn’t come with the desserts, as it was intended.. not sure! It showed up once we’d all long finished when it wasn’t really wanted anymore. If this venue could get drinks and food coming out in reasonable time frames it would be much better!

We have walked past this place numerous times so decided to try it. Unfortunately didn't live up to our expectations. Beautiful setting not matched to beautiful food. My eye fillet was not on par with any other restaurants in PD, my wife's pasta was tasteless and the entree tart base seemed to be bought from a supermarket. The brussel sprouts side was also disappointing. No love given to anything put on the table. May have been a bad night for the chef or the chef had a night off, I'm not sure, however I'd struggle to go back even after 2 bottles of French wine at $126 a pop that helped me get through the experience. Very disappointed.

This place is amazing! I highly reccomend coming to this place for dinner. The food is amazing i got the seafood l8nguini abd it was so amazing. The srvice is great as well, there is this one guy names xavier he is spanish and he is the nicest waiter ive ever met. The atmosphere was great to. They have a lounge when u walk in nice music playing and the overall vibe is really really nice. If u are in port douglas please come here its so good and try find a waiter names xavier.

We called to book late hope to get everything like on google pictures. Only waiting areas was nice, foods a bit overpriced. At this price we were expecting the food’s quantity and taste a bit more, but they were not. Entree, only Tuna dish was nice, garlic prawn hot pot is basically a few prawns in butter soup with 3 pieces of small breads, lamb was so fatty. The worst thing was waiting time, my family already gave up and wanted to walk out without main dishes. My little one was so sad and asked over 10times.…when they came, we so disappointed, our chicken dishes were so dried, the same as my kid chicken & chip + it is overpriced $28 only a small piece with chip no dessert or ice cream. Other dishes were ok but nothing excited as the price of it. We don’t drink alcohol, so asked for squeezed juice, but they didn’t have squeezed one, so we get the water instead. Even water they served us only at first, when our glasses were empty no one came and asked or fill in. It seems they didn’t want to serve us at all. Then we asked one of the male staff for the water, he disappeared forever, so no water for us until we were leaving. We decided to leave without dessert. This is very awful experienced for us. It is completely opposite to Melaleuca that we went the night before. They are so care and treated customers so well.
