I had the pizza which was far too much cheese and soft base like those at the supermarket. Made both my partner and I feel sick. Far better places to eat lunch

We are situated right on the beach. Imagine sitting on the beach with the sun setting, sipping your favourite cocktail and enjoying some of the best cuisine on the island - how romantic! We also offer a pizza take away service - forget the cooking - enjoy

This restaurant came highly recommended by our hotel and we were not disappointed. The service was great and so was the food. The night we were there it was raining so the beachfront dining section was closed. The restaurant offers transportation to/from your hotel so that was really nice and saved us $30 in taxi fair. Overall, it was very good and well worth the visit but I would not say it was to die for. The live entertainment was a nice bonus that we had not expected.

A great quirky casual dining experience. Opened since 1979 it still has the same owners and the same name. It is a mix of eclectic and local island decor. The walls feature an array of photos of events, people and things. The ceilings are a collage of var

We enjoyed a meal at Alberto's during our visit to Rarotonga. The service was very good, and the food tasty. Nice place to have a casual dinner or to meet with family and friends over a drink.

Had been recommend to us by our accommodation provider and they did offer pick up/drop off which was good.Boogie was playing and there were a couple of "lively" tables in the restaurant so the atmosphere was quite good.Sadly the food left a bit to be desired. We both felt that the meals just didn't quite measure up.One of the main dishes we had was the Caesar salad. It was described as crisp lettuce, dressing, croutons, soft poached egg and parmesan cheese. Sadly the lettuce was soaked in an oily dressing and the leaves then became all soggy. The egg was fried and the croutons were very greasy. I don't think I could taste any parmesan cheese, it certainly wasn't obvious on the dish. To be fair I did have the cooked camembert for starter which was a bit oily so to follow that with a greasy main left me feeling a bit yucky.The waitress did mention that I had left a lot of the dinner (I had my partner eat some so too so it didn't look like I had left too much). I commented on all the greasy ingredients and she seemed understanding but nothing was said after and we paid full price for the meal.Maybe we should have tried something else as I can see by reviews that people have had some excellent meals but we just felt on this night that the restaurant wasn't one we would visit again.Hello Jayne I am very sorry to hear that your experience did not reach your expectations.Constructive feedback such as this is helpful for improving our service. I will be sure to pass this feedback on to our team.Thank you

What an amazing dinner it was! We went for my wifeâs 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 youâre in Rarotonga donât miss this gem!

So glad we gave this place a go!Friendly service from the owner, lovely view of the whales, fresh tasty food. Finding Nemo was a welcome lunch on our last day of the holiday. The mahi mahi was fresh tasty and the accompaniments complimented the fish. A shame that the only non undercover tables were smoking as the view from there and some warmth from the sun on the chilly day would have been spectacular. Friends who arrive at Raro next weekend will be advised not to miss this fabulous friendly eatery. Keep up the great work. Advise to book.
