About Waterbar & Grill Steakhouse
Waterbar & Grill Steakhouse sits at The Pier on Pier Point Road in Cairns City, looking across the Marlin Marina. The dining room and bar both face the water, and dinner is served every evening. The kitchen is built around the grill. Steaks are brushed with a baste made in-house and flame grilled to order, from a 250g tenderloin fillet up to a 500g aged rump, alongside Wagyu, slow-cooked ribs, fresh seafood and salads. For functions the restaurant can be hired as a whole and seats up to 160 guests. The waterfront room adjusts to suit a small gathering or a full-scale celebration, and the team hosts anniversaries, engagements, birthdays and corporate dinners. Rather than individual mains, function menus are served as large sharing dishes set in the middle of each table, drawn from the same cuts and seafood as the regular dinner menu. If a seated meal isn't the plan, the kitchen can put together a grazing menu around your event. A fully stocked walk-up bar pours wine, beer and cocktails through the function, and the cellar list leans towards boutique bottles that suit the food. Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free dishes are on hand across the menu. The venue has ramp access; let the team know if a guest uses a wheelchair so tables can be spaced to suit. Tables fill up on most nights, so functions are worth securing well ahead of the date.
