ExploreOur Venue
Dining room, open bar and function space — all of it sitting over the Marlin Marina, all of it fed by the same grill.
A Waterfront Setting for Every Visit
At Waterbar & Grill Steakhouse, our venue is the reason people keep coming back to this stretch of the Cairns waterfront. Every space, from the dining room to the bar, looks out over the Marlin Marina, and it's where we host everything from a quiet dinner to anniversaries, engagements, birthdays and corporate celebrations. Below, you'll find what's on offer across our steaks and ribs menu and our full dinner service, each with its own character but the same water views and generous cooking. We're at capacity most nights, so a booking ahead is always worth making.
We keep vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten free options on hand across the menu, and the venue has ramp access for guests with mixed mobility. Let us know if you're bringing a wheelchair when you book, so we can make sure there's enough space at your table.
