Vivaldis - Cairns

We were so disappointed. They accepted our reservation for Christmas Day. We were on vacation and we planned our whole Christmas dinner around this place. They were closed. No message, no report through open table. Just bad form. I am fine with them being closed, but someone clearly forgot to tell open table.

It is not Italian. It has changed ownership and they Are trying a new menu. We ordered 4 dishes. Pulled lamb. Crab penne with garlic and oil. Steamed vegetables. Garden salad. Only the pulled lamb was restaurant quality. The other dishes had little taste and were not hot.

Lovely and elegant restaurant. Had kangaroo medallions which were perfectly cooked and delicious. Wife had pan seared barramundi whic was likewise delectable. BlackBerry apple crumble ala mode was to die for.

I was searching for Cairns best affordable restaurants with a verandah view and came across Vivaldis (Close friends recommended also) to take my wife to for our 28 th anniversary ,I am very happy i picked Vivaldis as the service ,friendliness ,food,views were very impressive we will be back and have recommended to all of friends and work mates . Makes us proud to be Locals to be able to enjoy going to a restaurant with views of the Cairns Esplanade and Service to match Cheers from Kevin and Lyn

We choose Vivaldis for our first dinner as a married couple, food , service were excellent everything from entree to main and desert were first class highly recommend to anyone visiting Cairns .
