Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife bought me a beer (Pilsner) and after a couple of sips realized it was flat. Spoke to the bar person , who didn’t take my comments well and said it was because I had sat on it for a while . I said five minutes shouldn’t make a beer go flat... she offered another which I obliged. She then tried to make a point it was good, to which I said it still looks flat, ‘ don’t you think?’ . And said no. So I took it and went to my seat.
Tried a few more sips and realized they served flat beer, so left it. When the food came, the lovely waitress questioned why I wasn’t drinking my beer, so I told her. She went and got another and said I can change to another drink if needed. I was done by then so was happy to leave it, as we were hungry. Then the food came and was as disappointing as the beer.
The place is catered to tourists- high volume clientele, sub standard quality and prices equal to good restaurants in Brisbane.

Sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the beer. We do have our beer carbonated at the level best for our serving style, and staff did check that it was at that level. We appreciate the time you took to tell us about the issues that you have faced and have spoken to staff about our service in this matter, as if you were not happy with the re-pour, there should have been a different beer selected for you. We do feel as though our prices are comparable to the other venues in Port Douglas and although are menu has been limited after our reopening from covid, we strive to make the options we do have, delicious and filling. Next time you have any issues, please let us know in venue you were displeased with the entire visit as we would not want you to leave unhappy.

We dropped in straight after a trip to the reef, thankfully we were able to get a table. We had the smoked brisket plate for two and it was Devine! Meat well seasoned and soooo tender. Arancini balls were delicious for the starter. Tried a fair few of the beers great for something different. Kids spaghetti bol definitely got the thumbs up! Thankyou.

Felt like we were being nuisances for not knowing what to order immediately. Beer crew seemed disinterested and just wanted us gone. It was the end of the lunch period and not busy. Disappointing as we are from out of town and were planning on a few beers. Off to somewhere friendlier

Thanks for leaving some feedback. We wish you would have stayed to enjoy some beers as we do have quite a few limited editions on at the moment. After speaking to the bartender on that day, she stated that you guys in fact did not know what you wanted, yet there was another customer behind you waiting. She said she told you that that she was going to give you more time (to look over the drinks board and taps) and serve them while you looked, which is when you decided to leave. Another bartender then came to you to ask if you were ready and you were not, so they did the same thing, which is probably why it seemed that they weren't interested. As we are a craft brewery, we do not want to rush people into making a decision. We would like to give you the time to look, and also the time to try a few samples, so by serving the person that knew what they wanted, she would be able to dedicate more time to you. We encourage that next time, if you do want some assistance, to ask for so they know you need help, not just more time. It was actually a very busy lunch, and although we do have a quite period around 2 til 4:30, that is when our staff is able to restock, re prep and have a break. We invite you to come back next time and give our venue another try. We offer tasting paddles of beer and gin if you are ever not sure of what you would like.

Wanted to order the salt and pepper they were sold out which is completely fine. Ordered the fish and chips as replacement. Came out pretty quickly. Was not that warm and had the thickest batter ever no seasoning and the fish just was not good. Are the chips which again where not great. Staff were very friendly it was a late lunch so I didn’t send it back as I was just hungry. But in the end left hungry.

Started good with lovely staff , view and a great margarita. Downhill from there .Advertised local fresh prawns not available despite arriving at the start of dinner time 5pm, they had sold out ??. Ordered both salads on offer and were horrible. Only seafood was frozen deep fried battered imported fish with cold dry fries.
Go for the view and a drink but skip the food .

We went here to try the beers so had a paddle & were pleasantly surprised with the variety of taste & flavours. The atmosphere was relaxed and the dress was casual. The view from the deck overlooking the marina was great.
We were enjoying it so much that we decided to stay for dinner & again were very pleasantly surprised. We ordered the fresh prawns & the tropical chicken pizza, wow, both were excellent!!!

Came to Hemingway’s with a group of mates on a trip. The food was pretty nice with no complaints (squid particularly good) and the beers were also pretty good. It was a Sunday night so pretty low key atmosphere but would be great for a family or date night. If you can get a seat looking out onto the marina it’s nice to watch the boats go by.

Stunning sunset views, amazing food, lovely staff, extensive drinks options with the brewery attached. Family of 5 are here without braking the bank which is huge! Enough going on in the marina to keep kids amused.

The night we went they ran out of 2 of the meal options, and 2 out of the 3 sauce options.
They also had an issue with the keg that supplies coke and Pepsi. It just seemed like general mayhem. Nobody at the door to meet and greet but after a while we managed to find our own table that we had reserved online. The 2 fish and chip meals were not great according to the men but the ladies were happy with the calamari and chips. We would probably not return.

Thanks for leaving some feedback and yes, we were having a very busy week. We do apologize you did not enjoy your visit, however sometimes equipment does break and being as we are in a remote location, it does take more than a few hrs to get it fixed. Hopefully, you were able to get the bottled soft drink that we also have available. Also, being that it was Port Douglas' busy holiday season, once an item sells out in the lunch period, we don't have more stock in until the next day. We make sure all of our products are fresh and make our sauces ourselves! Hope that you enjoyed your visit to Port and that next time you visit, you have a nicer time.

Ate at dinner time, family of four. Great location on the waterfront at the Crystalbrook marina. We booked months in advance and had a table with a nice view. Some rowdiness from those in for beers but all good. Decent selection on the menu although not all items were available. Opted for a couple of beer paddles which were great; came with printed tasting notes. Food was ok but nothing special. Chips very over salted as usual. Batter on the fish and chips was very thick. All in all a resonable meal and not too pricy, but nothing to shout home about. The location and beers did make up for the food though
