    The chicken tenders were way overcooked and the fisherman’s basket was very greasy. The other 7 meals were great. First time dining here since the refurbishment. Much lighter and brighter and certainly family friendly.

    My husband and I had another perfect dining experience at Zinc last night. I must comment too on the professionalism of the wait staff. They are so friendly and welcoming and always elegantly attired. As I have commented on previous visits. It is our very favourite Port Douglas restaurant.

    The Treehouse restaurant in Silky Oaks is one of the very best restaurants between Cairns and Cape Tribulation. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere sitting above the river with all the beautiful fauna and butterflies, listening to the water flowing in the creek below, was absolutely stunning. The food is purely amazing! Everything is fresh, interesting and beautifully served. The cocktails were delicious as well! This was our second time here and hopefully one day we'll get to visit once again.
