Aluco Restaurant And Bar - Port Douglas

Relaxing atmosphere by the pool. Friendly attentive service. Fish of the day was beautiful. Delicious side vegetables and nice wine list. Recommend for a romantic dinner.

We came here for dinner (despite terrible reviews on their breakfast buffet and we were surprisingly so impressed with our meals. Blue cheese pannacotta and the scallops with fried quail eggs are a must for entree both dishes had a great balance of flavours and textures and generous servings too! I had the duck breast for main which was nice and juicy and went well with the purée. Too bad we had no room for dessert. <br/ <br/ My biggest frustration though would be the customer service. Staff were very flustered and unorganised despite the restaurant not being busy at all. We had to wait to be seated despite making a reservation and after we were seated it took about 20mins to get our menus (not a good thing when you're hangry!! . They also mixed up our cocktail orders.

Food and service were excellent. Steak was cooked to perfection and duck was delicious. Only criticism, would have liked more than one tiny piece of bread as a starter at the beginning.

Aqua is the restaurant attached to the Sea Temple resort. The restaurant has indoor dining or outdoor overlooking the pool. Every second night the chefs present a themed buffet like Mexican or carvery nights. Lunchtime dining is light and simple.<br/ The resort is a big plus when it comes to cleanliness and professionalism. A very relaxing environment.<br/ Ratings out of 100<br/ Variation of menu: 80<br/ Quality of produce: 85<br/ Service: 85<br/ Cleanliness: 90<br/ Ambiance: 90<br/ Overall Rating: 86<br/ Best meals: A good Caprese Salad.

Seafood platter was delicious. Dined at Aqua on a Tuesday night. had a cocktail before dinner and were offered the choice of moving to a poolside table as I had requested seating inside over the phone. Was much nicer outside! Ordered the seafood platter which was huge! two plates cooked to perfection. standout was the seafood chowder- amazing, so flavourful the Mr rated it better than chowderin San Fran. The barramundi was also so good, crispy skin and soft flesh. Also had dessert, lemon meringue and the chocolate plate, both tasty and well presented. Ambience was nice, very relaxing sitting pool side with dim lighting and music. Waitstaff were attentive as well. We'd definitely go back when in Port Douglas again.
