Pethers Rainforest Retreat

We were amazed by how perfect this restaurant was for my partner's birthday. It had the most romantic atmosphere and delicious food. It was the best dining experience we have had so far. Our personal favorites were the large glass windows and fairy lights.

The main and entrée dishes were beautiful, but the desserts were disappointing. I left the restaurant feeling hungry, but this is typical of gourmet size portions.

Before the next buffet course, I had to remind myself to clear my used plate. There were no plates available when it came to selecting desserts, so we had to ask for them. Instead of coffee, only tea was offered after the meal. There was no trash bin for disposing of tea bags, etc. The food was okay, but below standard for a Christmas Day buffet lunch. The mince pies seemed store-bought, and the mini-pavlovas were too soft to be picked up with tongs and fell apart easily. The cost of $120 per person was overwhelming and not worth the money. The restaurant was beautiful and the location was unique, but it was a disappointing experience considering we spent over $250 for my wife and me on Christmas Day.

This restaurant is a real shade on the tamborine mountain. eating was delicious, we had the 5 course tasting dinner, it was fine eating, a taste sensation. the restaurant ambiente was beautiful and the staff was fabulous. if they expect to eat massive plates full, then this restaurant is not for them. the restaurant offers a limited number of people so that they can expect a peaceful, pleasant eating.

Great service, very attentive wait staff who were very friendly. Price for a degustation was reasonable but this reflected in the meal it was good but not great. Restaurant lacked a little in atmosphere also, but maybe it was a quiet night and it would humm a little more with a full house.
