Tides Waterfront Dining

After an easy Sunday morning cruise up to the Sunshine Coast, we were getting hungry.   In the mood for some fine food, in a casual yet elegant setting, Tides Waterfront Dining was perfect.

Timing is everything, and we were able to take advantage of the $29 lunch special.





For entree, we had some lovely warm toasted turkish bread with evvo and aged balsamic vinegar.   9/10 - crusty, warm and tasty!   We then had a choice of mains.

Mal chose the rump steak with truffle mash, steamed beans and red wine jus.  (perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth) 9/10

Whilst I had the Panko crusted prawns with cucumber and radish salad.   (great flavours, though I thought the portion was a bit small) 6/10

Next, Mal enjoyed a belgium brownie, with persian fairy floss and vanilla ice cream for dessert. 7/10

But my favourite dish of the day was definitely my delicious chocolate pannacotta (with tiny chocolate flakes in it), strawberry sorbet and strawberry and pistachio salsa.   Everything went together perfectly, and I had to stop myself from licking the plate.  I'd probably go back just for dessert! 10/10

We finished off with a coffee, and if we were in the region again, I wouldn't hesitate going back.
