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.

We ate here 3 times on our recent stay at the Plantation island resort. I ate the pork belly and reef and beef, I found my meals to be pretty good, my wife didn’t really rate it and the vegetarian meal was way too spicy for her. My kids liked the kids meals available, one likes the kids steak and the other chicken tenders and hotdogs.
I found the price to be a bit expensive. $72 for steak and prawns. The service although the staff were friendly but they work on Fiji time for service, we waited about 20 mins for drinks to arrive and an hour for our food, so slow with 2 special needs kids.
It has a park beside restaurant which came in handy to pass the time. Kids club is attached to the same building, so doing dinner at 6.30 so you can order dinner, drop kids off and collect them when the dinner arrives.
This is by far the best restaurant at the Plantation island resort.

Visited Black Coral twice during our stay. First night we found the drink service very slow, and it was quite late so not very busy. Food was pretty good, nothing to write home about but we enjoyed it. Went back a couple of nights later for my daughters birthday and it was favulous - staff brought out the cake I had organised and all gathered around to sing her "happy birthday". The steak cooked on the hot stone was one of the best and most memorable meals I had in the two weeks we were in Fiji. Lovely to sit outside under the fairy lights.

We were recommended to dine here by other guests at Lomani and to be honest it was slightly underwhelming. The service was fantastic, waiting staff made this restaurant, food let it down.
My husband had the seafood platter but most things were over cooked and under seasoned. I had the steak which came on a hot stone, the steak was lovely but had a huge bit of fat on it that should have been removed before coming out as you can’t render it on the one of those stones. I struggled to cut it with the knife as no steak knife given.
The vegetables were raw and couldn’t be cut either.
Not the best eating experience but as I mentioned the staff were great

I was really looking forward to visiting Black Coral tonight as 6 years ago this restaurant was amazing.
Tonight I ordered the eye fillet for $74. I received a steak that tasted like porterhouse folded over to resemble an eye fillet. The chef came out and lied to my face saying it was cut in half to see if it was cooked properly. It was 100% not eye fillet and was too chewy to eat. They didn’t offer any compensation either, so $74 for two bites of ordinary steak.

This place was awful. It took 2 hours for us to get our food. There was almost nobody in the restaurant but we were told to wait for our table. Luckily we saw our friends there already and went to join them. They had already been waiting already for 2 hours for their food (6pm reservation while ours was 8pm). It would have been 3 hours total for them to have their food and leave. The food portions were small and very expensive.
The staff were very lovely, its just unfortunate the service was very delayed and not living up to the price. The kitchen supposedly closes at 9pm so I don’t understand why it would take so long for our meals.

barely any food given, everything tasted the same, sausages tasted like frozen hotdogs. chicken was dry, food turned up really late, messed up our order and didn’t bring a drink. we had to wait a long time in queue before we were allowed to come in. the servers were nice but often forgetful too

We had 2 filet steaks on hot stones and they were amazing, 1 ribs and 1 kids steak. The kids steak meal was so tiny and the steak was thinner than a slice of bread but the veg were good and overall a lovely night. Could do with air con though. Our waiter Viliame was outstanding and was also great with the kids. It is expensive.

The service here was fantastic. We have two young girls and the setting was perfect for them, right beside a park and lots of space to run around. Kids buffet is nearby too so if you want to take advantage of that while having a nice meal for adults then it’s perfect. The pork ribs, ten spice chicken are highly recommended. Something on the menu for everyone, and the best of the restaurants at PIR.

We had to book the day before as it books out fast. Guessing they limit guest numbers to reduce the wait times for food as it wasn't that busy when we were there. Our meals arrived quickly and were delicious. The wait staff were lovely and great with our kids. The two gentlemen providing the entertainment were enjoyable to listen to. The kids could watch the movie playing at the kids club from our table. Overall it was a nice evening and would visit again if we were staying here longer.

We booked on Thursday for Saturday night dinner. Busy night with probably not enough staff. Only two of four guests at our table received their dinner! Somehow the order vanished for the other two. Service was well rectified by manager Justin when brought to his attention more than an hour later - a free round of drinks and late dinner. Food was okay for the price.
We had two other dinners outside the resort-at Dick‘s place at musket Cove; also at Lomani. Much better food and value for money, particularly at Lomani.

This restuarant would be fantastic with just a few more staff and procedures.
My booking was lost, luckily it was just myself so they could find space for me.
The service was terrible. I had to keep calling out to staff to take orders. My full meal arrived without my drinks although I asked for them many times.
The food however was great. I had the tuna on their signature sizzling dish and the kokoda starter. Loved the maple sweet potato.

Considering it has been open only for 4 weeks after Covid lockdown, the food, service and surroundings were great. A good selection to suit all tastes and a variation of choices from day to day.
