Review Balcony Restaurant - Cooktown

Terrible and very overpriced! Oysters kilpatrick - lacking bacon and crispy bacon not soggy because too much sauce was used. Oysters were served with teaspoons instead of the proper cutlery. Berry Lamb - lamb overcooked. Potato mash - either deb whip or microwaved from the day before. The best part of the dinner was the sunset.

Absolutely wonderful meal and service. THANKYOU.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant!!! staff, food, chef and atmosphere 110% Can't fault it at all, the food is sensational, a real must. Well done guys!!

Fish was fresh and chicken parmi was huge and tender all meals were great size. Good price and friendly staff worthy of a stop, beer and feed

No cheese in my salad Chicken nuggets and chips were still good

I ordered the crispy skinned Coral Trout. The fish wasn't scaled at all before being cooked, as shown in image. I removed the skin before trying the flesh, hoping it was just a mistake, however, it was extremely overcooked and was like rubber. Very disappointing considering the ~$39 price tag. The waiting staff weren't particularly friendly and didn't seem to care if we were happy with the meals or not. Unfortunate and a bit sad all round.

Eat here If you want to pay a lot of money and go home hungry. The meals are very overpriced and way too small! We arrived at an almost empty restaurant only to get told its fully booked and we had to wait 45min for a table for 4. After 45 minutes we came back. The tables were still empty and we were seated at a table for 8 that was one of the empty tables when we got there 45 minutes before. The food was served quickly, the taste was OK and the staff was friendly. I still would not go back. It's not worth it. We ended up getting some pizzas at the bar underneath so we didn't have to go to bed hungry.

Good seafood pasta, amazing calamari. Staff friendly, relaxed and all round good experience.
