Fire & Stone Beach Front Restaurant Tangalooma - reviews,open hours,photo spots, things to do | WanderBoat AI Trip Planner

We had the deep fried bean curd, spicy king prawns, Mongolian beef, sweet and sour pork and fried rice. The bean curd and spicy king prawns were outstanding! On the menu it said that the spicy king prawns were hot, however the chef had skillfully removed all of the seeds from the chillies rendering them tasty and crunchy. Never before have I tasted a dish like this. If this restaurant we're on the mainland I would definitely go back regularly for this dish. Staff were very helpful. The chef went above and beyond when he decorated a BYO birthday cake that we had provided with strawberries. Without us asking, the chef cut up the strawberries and added their own cream to keep them in place on top. It's the attention to detail that gives this establishment 5 stars from us.

Had to take my husband here in December 2018 ( celebrated our wedding anniversary) through our cruise on Pacific Eden to Moreton Island/ Tangalooma Resort. Loved the beef coriander soup and beef rice noodles stir fry! They were as good as when we had them during my cruise last October 2017 with my sis and her friends. Staff as always are very friendly and accommodating! The bonus is the great views of the beach! Highly recommended! The servings were very generous so we didn't have to order rice or other dishes. Last time we ordered similar dishes plus spring rolls and there were six of us! So for two people two dishes are plenty plus drinks or water was enough for me. I think my husband had beer. Thanks guys at Fire and Stone, was so full!

Not a lot good I can say. We should have had an idea what we were in for when we took our seat and noticed a) bird droppings on the floor, b) paint on sections of the floor boards worn out, c) sticks around the inside of the external wall to keep birds from landing, and d) the surface of some of the tables peeling off. I guess they have low lighting to try and hide the many imperfections. We managed to spend $90 on 2 entrees, 2 mains, and 2 drinks. Entrees were literally 2 prawn cutlets each for $10 each, but that was the best part of the meal. Main was Vietnamese style beef brisket, which ended up being fairly chewy chunks of who knows what cut of beef and the meal was fairly bland. 2nd main was crispy skin chicken. In their defence we were warned on ordering that it was not boneless. From their it's all on them. Chopped into slices with bone fragments throughout, dry, flavourless chicken, although the skin was pretty good; came with plain rice and some greens. Charging 90 odd dollars for that food was neither reasonably priced nor quality, and I hate getting ripped off, which was how I felt. It was a very disappointing way to end day one of our holiday. My writing skills really don't do justice to how poor this restaurant is. I recommend avoiding this restaurant at all costs and can only wonder how poorly trained the chef is, or how much he/she must hate his/her job. A refund and an apology would not be out of place.

Abysmal... There are two "separate" areas served by the same kitchen, "Fire" does Chinese food, and "Stone" does what they describe as tapas, but isn't. There's always a queue for Fire, and the other half of the restaurant, Stone, is almost always completely empty, but the staff won't let the people waiting for Chinese food to sit in that half of the restaurant - remember, it's the same kitchen, and staff have to walk through Stone to get to the kitchen to carry Chinese food orders through. Stone would appear to specialise in stone-cold food, even the menu items that should be hot. The staff are, in some cases, downright rude, and have definitely not been on any training courses on how to serve food properly from what we saw. It's also extremely expensive for what it is. If you're desperate for Chinese food, at least it was edible, but if you're looking for any sort of value, the cafe facing the reception desk was about the best in the whole resort.

The portions are big!! So if you are not that hungry do not order like we did. It was so hard to choose as there was so many good options on there. It is a bit pricey but it is to be expected on a tourist resort. But whatever price you paying for it is matched with the taste it all was just so succulent and good. Would recommend to try out! Being an open plan restaurant you do have birds and all sorts flying in so beware and its cooler than sitting outside but you are still baking so drink lots of cold water or a beer!
