10/10!! Delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance made for a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend The Fireplace Restaurant Sanctuary Cove Intercontinental and will definitely be returning. We ordered 4 Tomahawks & 2 lamb with vegetable sides for a large group. Both beef & lamb excellent quality & cooked to perfection.

After reading previous reviews I was a bit skeptical going to this restaurant, however it was honestly amazing!
Service 10/10
Atmosphere 10/10
Food 20/10
We had the lamb shoulder and ordered chat potatoes and the garden salad as sides (the sides werent needed as the lamb shoulder came with broccolini and roast veg). It was so delicious, the lamb just fell off the bone. Highly recommend

Really lovely anniversary dinner and the service from Dee was exceptional. We had delicious king prawns for starter, steak for main and the desserts were wonderful. The only slight disappointment was that neither share plate (tomahawk steak and lamb shoulder) was available which we didn’t know until we ordered it. A really nice restaurant with a friendly and professional team.

I have stayed at this hotel over 25 times. I never really wanted to try the restaurant as the reviews were mixed, and most hotel restaurant's are normally below par.
Apart from been given a sub standard table and enquiring about others, the restaurant was fully booked. Ironically, or rather obviously those better tables were still empty when we left.
I digress, The oysters were fresh and fantastic. For the main we opted for the Wagyu and the fillet steak. The steaks and peppercorn sauce were faultless and cooked to order. Unfortunately, the mash had a certain prepared warm up before serving taste and texture, which was shame, otherwise it would have been perfect main course.
The desert of Sticky date pudding was exceptional.
In summary, everything apart from the mash hit the mark. The service was attentive and efficient, and yes, I would return.
In fact I did return a few days later.
The service was terrible. The steak was still excellent. But, two grilled Prawns for $28?
Bottom line $236 for 2.
Second time $197 for 2

Despite having made a booking when we arrived there was no table for us. We had to stand around waiting for them to clear a table. The young lady who attended to us was very pleasant and did apologise for the delay.
We both had the king prawn salad to begin with and this was nice. My wife had the Snapper for main which was inedible, it was tough and not cooked through. She sent it back and did not reorder. I had the steak which was nice despite being well over cooked.
By 8.30 whilst we were still eating the staff engaged in the clearing up process. moving furniture and setting tables ready for the following day. Nobody came near us again and I had to summon someone to bring us the bill.
We have been going to the Fireplace Restaurant for years but sadly like so many restaurants in Australia the standard of service and quality of the food has taken a nosedive.
