316 Bar & Bistro at Ramada Resort Port Douglas

LUNCH

One of our favourite restaurants over the years

but I am afraid it is slipping.

The Karaage Chicken Burger $28

was woeful, no texture, no taste and an awful bun.

Battered Fish & Chips $28

One of the most consistently good fish & chips in Port Douglas

Earlier this year I voted it 8.9 out of 10 (there has never been a 9 out of 10) and this time it dropped to a 7, just slightly overcooked.

The drinks

This has not been as straight forward as it should be, now and in the past.

A beer, glass of red, a bottle of white and 2 glasses.

This time we ended up with an extra glass of white?

To make the staff member feel better, I apologised

and just paid the bill. We did not take the extra glass of white

but were billed an extra $4?

$40

So, when we feel like spending $117 on lunch again

we will give some extra thought as to where that will be?

Dining out in such a famous tourist town should be a pleasant experience and after living here for over 41 years we have fortunately had very few disappointments.

Choochooz at the Marina

This is our first review since Covid and typically we have chosen "Fish and Chips" and a Beef Burger. Not always but very often. As a retired couple we dine out at lunch at least once a week. Choochooz did not disappoint; the burger was good and the fish and chips equally as good. Super Crisp stubby - $9.00 Little Angels Sauvignon Blanc bottle - $45 Bosworth Pinot Noir glass - $11.00 Angus Burger - $25 Battered Mackerel & Chips - $35 Payment surcharge - $1.50 Total - $126.50
