    We ate at The Vine Room twice on our visit to Cairns. Both times, the food and service were excellent. The prawn risotto is amazing, and so is the barramundi. Perfect to share. On our second visit, we ordered 3 small plates and enjoyed wine and a great view. I highly recommend The Vine Room!

    Palooka will always be our only preference for a date night location; we live 70km away, and it’s worth it everytime; is it cheap, it’s not, but we are yet to have a bad experience on any level. They have a squid special at the moment which needs to be a regular item.
