Palm Cove Tavern — Restaurant in Queensland

Walked into the tavern's eating area. Two large dogs were sitting on other patrons laps at the tables and were eating food from the table.

Waited for a long period of time at "wait to be seated" area, and were totally ignored. We ended up finding our reserved table ourselves. We sat down at the table on the cracked 3 chairs at the table for 4, and found another cracked chair. We then ordered our food from the worst app I have ever used. The chefs specials were not even on the app.

We then ordered drinks. The kids soft drinks were $8 each. The other drinks were more expensive than other high end restaurants in the area.

We had the Risotto. It was fatty and sloppy. A piece of over cooked dried out chicken was put on top of the rice. The calamari resembled the same frozen calamari we purchase from Coles. The Nasi Goreng flavours were all wrong and weird. Our child enjoyed the kids chicken and chips.

It was clear the staff there are unhappy in their workplace. There was no one available to speak to about our experience dispite other reviews responses suggesting to speak with management.

Terrible place for a meal. Find...

Ordered my meal and got given a number to wait for meal at my table. 30 minutes later I saw them give my meal to a table over the other side with the same number. I called staff over to say I saw him asking them and them saying it wasn’t but they took anyway. He said he would check.

20 minutes later I continued to wait. He didn’t bother returning to say sorry they messed up and we will do you another.

Customer service is obviously not important here because of a transient clientele.

I than called the direct staff member over who initially made the mistake and said about the second bloke I told and he apologised and came back with a refund and said they will push through a free meal.

Can see why it wasn’t busy. Pity as try to support local establishment’s especially during the current times.

Won’t be back...

I didn't like the atmosphere or the food.

I ordered BBQ Beef Brisket Baguette -- that's a lot of Bs ! It included chips, something I enjoy when they're hot & fresh. These were not. They were served luke warm and I felt like they'd been sitting around for 5-8 mins before being served. Very disappointing. The BBQ beef just didn't taste right -- it was chewy and not enjoyable. The baguette suffered from the brisket's juice or gravy and was soggy / falling to pieces.

There's nothing about the food I can compliment. I went with two friends and their view of the food was the same as mine. We all had different dishes and none of us enjoyed what we were served.

I felt the place lacked atmosphere. Everyone has their own opinion and some people could love it. For me it had the feel of a distressed RSL. Not my...
