    Absolutely loved our night at Oak & Vine. The staff were friendly, welcoming and advised on popular dishes. The food was beautiful and we don’t often have dessert but were wowed by the recommended signature fried burger and the brownie. Although we had rain, we were still able to enjoy the view. Will definitely be back when in Cairns again.

    Excellent morning - food was great and service was outstanding. Jude was working and he was so nice and helpful. Having his kindness would honestly encourage us to return again. He gave us a further 20 percent off our bill. Gestures like this is what you look for when you dine out. Good work Benson for finding an employee like Jude. He deserves employee of the month. Beautiful restaurant!

    Outstanding! Chef Hiro served up the best sashimi and Japanese dishes I’ve had in Cairns. He was so friendly. The service staff were amazing. The intimate Valentine’s Day sitting for just 8 people made the experience feel so special. Cocktails were awesome and I’ll be back to try some of the happy hour deals and Chef Hiro’s sushi corner.
