I'm astonished that this place receives positive reviews. I haven't posted reviews on yelp for…read moresome time but felt I had to do so after a horrible evening at this restaurant. As we arrived for our 8 pm reservation, we were told that the degustation menu had ended at 8 (no notice anywhere on the website). However, we were told there was a menu for their "most popular" items where a customer could choose 2 or 3 courses at a slightly discounted rate. When one of us tried to do so, we were told that the entire table had to buy into this discounted menu (unlike a tasting menu, this menu offered choices for starter, main course and desert so theoretically each of us could have chosen a completely different meal so there was no logic whatsoever in forcing everyone to use the "favourites" menu (especially when 2 of the 3 of us wanted the lamb dish that didn't appear on the "favourites" (might this be because the lamb was far more expensive?). We had to insist not once but twice that this policy was grounded in no logic. Certain items were excellent (like the raw oysters and the wine) but, once the kitchen was involved, the food was, at best, mediocre. Our main server was lovely. A second server who took over while our server was searching for the wine order (it arrived far too late when the food was cold), threw food on the table without even explaining what it was and had her back to us leaving the table before the plates stopped clattering. At the end, we were told there would be a 3.25% (approximately) fee for using an Amex card while a lower fee would apply to other cards. When my son, politely, explained that charging more for Amex was in contravention of a recent law case in Australia, the "manager" looking after us, rudely told us he had obtained legal advice that the case didn't apply to him and if we had a problem "go to mantra.com and register your complaint" as he turned and walked away. Apparently this restaurant is pooling its employees with the hotel which it serves, resulting in 50 employees, thereby avoiding the new law. It was a horrendous evening and we will be advising the people who stay in our vacation home to avoid it at all costs.

Thai food without the flavour - and no interest in fixing it…read more We visited Mashuri Thai expecting bright, bold Thai flavours, but left pretty disappointed. The quality of the ingredients was actually good, but the execution in the kitchen let everything down. The dishes were bland and felt "Anglo-sized," lacking the depth and balance you'd normally expect from Thai cooking. The waitress was lovely and tried her best, but when I asked if the kitchen could add a bit of curry paste or anything to bring some life to the soup, the response was simply, "that's how we make it." After 30 years in the F&B industry and having reviewed everything from local fish shops to Michelin-star restaurants, that kind of customer experience left me stunned. The waitress did try to salvage the situation by bringing a bowl of fresh chillies, but it didn't fix the core issue. When it came time to pay, I was told we'd still be charged full price for a meal I couldn't eat because it lacked flavour. My partner's dish also missed the vibrant, aromatic punch that defines Thai food. The only thing they nailed was the coconut rice, which honestly tasted like it came straight out of a pre-prepared packet from a supplier. There are too many good places in the area to take this kind of gamble. Do yourself a favour and head to the Indian restaurant or Fins next door instead. This one is just not worth the hit and miss.

I recently had the pleasure of spending 3.5 weeks in Kingscliff, visiting from the US (split my…read moretime between New York, San Francisco, and SoCal). Those metro areas are becoming saturated with juice bars and coffee shops, including many that are Aussie-inspired; now I totally understand why. They're trying to capture the magic I experienced at The Salt Mill, which nails it from lattes to avo toast to smoothie bowls. Most of my mornings started with a latte here (always satisfying), and I often supplemented with a filling bite after my morning workout. The avo toast is probably the best I've ever had, with a fantastic blend of spices (coriander!) and seeds adding a ton of flavor. The Coconut & Cacao açaí bowl with added peanut butter became my staple order, overflowing with goodness and tropical fruits. Even the chia pudding, paired with full-fat yogurt and some fruit compote (mango or raspberry) was a standout. Friendly faces, great vibes, excellent food, and a fantastic part of any day in Kingscliff.

Service wise this was the case, all wait staff were professional and knowledgable, and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. However, the food didn't live up to expectations - the first course was amazing but the rest of the degustation was rather ordinary particularly a chowder which just tasted like potato and pumpkin soup. I must point out that the quality of the ingredients was first rate, but at $169 for a degustation in a 1 hatted restaurant, I expect a true degustation, not just a 'tasting' menu which I would expect at a regular mid-priced restaurant. All said - this restaurant is worth a look, but stick to the regular menu and avoid the degustation.
