Good food; a little pricey for Raro. Has very good ambience and the singers were lovely at dinner. Service is shaky, but they are trying. The continental breakfast was a carb-fest and the ordered breakfasts were nice, but too pricey. The seafood platter is huge (too much for two people) but delicious.Kia Orana,Thank you for taking the time to post your review of your dining experience with us. I am delighted to hear you enjoyed the ambience and entertainment as well the complimentary tropical breakfast buffet and the hot a la carte options. Our seafood platter is definitely a guest favourite and I am happy that you had the opportunity to sample this local dish. Our famous and ever popular Seafood Platter for Two includes “Ika Mata” Diced local Game Fish marinated in Lemon Juice and Coconut Cream, “Mitiore” Grated Coconut & Poached Prawns, Seared local Game Fish, Pesto Crumbed Pan Seared Scallops, Creamy New Zealand Mussel Chowder, Line caught Yellow Fin Tuna Sashimi with Honey Miso Marinade, Coconut Panko Crumbed Deep Sea Fish Goujons, Charred Garlic Tiger Prawns, Tempura Pacific Oysters, Seafood Arancini, Spicy Sambal with a Fresh Garden Salad, Island Slaw, Warm Breads & Dips all for just $NZ 99.Our complimentary continental tropical buffet includes seasonal fresh island fruits, fresh fruit salad, home-stewed fruits, Bircher muesli, homemade yoghurt, fresh-baked breads, pastries, muffins & croissants, cereals, toast, spreads, fruit juices, tea & coffee. Other hot breakfast options are available from our a la carte menu for a small additional charge. Our meals and drink prices are in line with what you pay at other similar outlets around the island, which are more like Australia and New Zealand than Bali or Thailand, and cheaper than Fiji. Please note that as we are a small tropical island in the middle of the South Pacific, apart from locally grown fruit and vegetables as well as Game Fish, we need to import many items.Kind Regards, Greg Long Food & Beverage Manager

We stayed at the resort so ate here several times over the week. Everything we got was pretty good. Would recommend the BLAT burger and the prawn pizza. Disappointed by the garlic prawn special on Tuesday night. Kia Orana,Thank you for your review.

Open-air restaurant open 7 days a week for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Casual dining at affordable prices. Reservations recommended for dinner. Ask about Friday Happy Hour and Sunday BBQ dinner.

I had all three meals since I was staying at Palm Grove where the restaurant is located. Breakfast was simple...fresh fruits, bread, hardboiled eggs, baked items, cereal, yogurt, tea and coffee. I had the fish chowder for lunch which filled me up and I also attended the Sunday bbq. Several buffet items to choose from and on my last night I enjoyed one of the nightly specials, a great seafood dish! Spot on for meals if you plan to lounge on the beach all day and not go anywhere.

Stunning views over the water with a big chance to see passing whales during the season.The cocktails are great, the broad variety of beers are cold and the barfood is tasty.For the kids a very nice and safe tree to climb in. You will not see them back the whole night :).Kia Orana,Thank you for your great review, much appreciated.

What an amazing dinner it was! We went for my wife’s birthday at The Waterline, we enjoyed a wonderful sunset on the beach drinking cocktails before dinner, then moved up on the deck for the meals. The view from the deck is marvellous, as appetiser we had the chicken Cajun, which was very good, then my wife had the fish of the day and me the pork ribs, both extremely delicious! We ended the dinner with the brownie for dessert, one of the best we ever ate! There was live music as well, the singer was very talented and had a fantastic voice! The staff was really nice and friendly, we had an amazing evening! If you’re in Rarotonga don’t miss this gem!
