Food was amazing!! One staff member was a little odd. She started off fine ( our group had accidentally booked twice) she explained the 2 different tables and we chose to go with the picnic style after being advised it had a better breeze. When we walked out and saw the table in half sun, we apologised and asked to change to the other in the shade. At this point she turned huffy and then refused to look at or acknowledge us for the rest of the time we were there. We also noticed she was the only staff member who constantly had her mask on her chin. We also had to continuously put our empty drinks

We were visitors to town, and booked the Waterline for a romantic dinner on New Year's Eve.
Excellent service, great food, fantastic value.
Enjoyed the short rib and the market fish over a bottle of wine, and then the helpful staff even helped us organise a lift back to Yeppoon, (we had a challenge finding a taxi back, being new years eve). It was an outstanding service experience from start to finish.

A real country pub with real good food and icy cold beers. Everyone traveling up past Rocky should stop and enjoy it.

Food was impressive.
Unfortunately the staff who greeted us, was very rude and obnoxious.
Rude taking order and soured the whole experience, we arrived at 2pm, and they close at 3pm.
Just a poor experience sad, as rest of staff were great and food was good - ruined a dining experience so really can't recommend sadly.
Worse is they were the manager/duty manager.
Thanks for the reply...
FYI It wasn't the check in or certificate check, they were just unhappy that people turned up at 2pm, and wanted us to order without being given the menu, then didn't want to give us drinks menu, just plain

Rude staff, waited 25 min for sausage rolls that were obviously forgotten in the oven as they were burned and dry. Perfect positioning, beautiful views are spoilt by rude staff and long wait times.

11/10 They made the most delicious steak I have had in a very long time. I must admit I got full but couldn’t stop eating it was amazing. Top quality food for a decent price too not expensive at all. The staff were amazing too so friendly and helpful.

We dined there Sat 9th Oct. Wow. absolutely loved it, food was great, wine was great, everything was spot on. All of the above largely thanks to Sarah. That lady is an asset to the place. We had 2 young children in the group and she entertained and amused them as well. Never missed a beat all night and was noticed mentoring others. Truly a great night. Thanks Waterline and in particular Sarah.

Lovely spot overlooking the marina , good menu selection. Only downside was it took a long time for our order to arrive , they were almost cold and we felt that the servings were very small . The flavour was delicious despite the temperature of it , we had Nasi Goreng and the pork goyza

What an experience. My husband and I always have steak when we eat out - tonight we had probably the nicest piece of meat we’ve ever had. The service was absolutely delightful. What a beautiful night out.

Had an amazing dinner at waterfront. We tried the pork spring rolls, chicken ponzu, karaage chicken and steamed bao to share and it did not disappoint! We finished with a blushing geisha to share. 10/10 will come back for the food and excellent service!

Better food in a nice location
A 23°9′48″ E150°47′14″ With terrace view on the harbour and interesting menu, this restaurant proudly shows its awards for good lunch restaurant.
In September 2018, we ordered fish & chips (AU$25) and lemongrass beef (AU$23). The presentation was good. The grilled fish was well prepared and tasty. The portion of beef was small but tasteful. Nevertheless, in taste, texture and flavours, the food was not remarkable to excite our taste buds. Beer was served in cans.
The French and German servers did a great job. We had a chat about the overall quality of
