Over many years, Dunes has been the “go-to” place for my wife and I and our extended family. No longer! The variety and standard of food now on offer is greatly inferior to that of the past. Following a $200+ lunch on April 21, we...will never return and will be advising friends and family to give the “new” Dunes a wide berth. Why? 1. Service deplorable: Took 20 minutes for a simple request for water and two glasses of wine to arrive and then only upon getting our own water and asking again for our wine. 2. No starters, bread or salads available on the menu. No salads!! Unbelievable! 3. Entrees (so-called “small plates” were almost cold. My wife’s zucchini flowers were lukewarm and lacking f...
We came here for dinner to celebrate my friends birthday. Service was quirky with an over familiar waitress who talked too much but she was nice. Menu is very large but no specials. We both had the calamari to start which was very tasty but...not presented very well at all. Mains i had the gnocchi and friend had the kingfish. Both dishes looked lovely and were tasty but the gnocchi was soooo salty. I love salt but I found it too much. Wine list hard to read as no locations of wineries listed. Dessert for friend was limoncello tiramisu which was more like lemon meringue pie. At more that $250 not a cheap meal with random service.
very dissapointing experience celebrate my dads 90th birthday with 14 family members. my mother chose dunes after a very pleasant expat a few months ago. weine not available in the day before ordered. guests waited 30 minutes for the first drink. friendly but unexplored...the personal. food slowly arrived from the employees advised, there is no restuarant manger, was referred to the owner, the understanding of my thinking, but not actiw. had a 2 hours window 12-2pm, didint finish meal to 3pm. at leaving the staff where sat over the trip, they eat a meal. overall, it was nice to eat.
on Sunday at 1 o'clock after a long wait for our escape from oysters to reach the main meal, the main meal again marched up when we waited for the heavy oysters to turn. 2.45 finally here and what a pathetic look! at $6.00...now they would expect a nice plump to utter, but that was not to be. they were so small that it was a dedication to serve them. 6 x 48 $144.00 !! now to guarantee a price tag as they have the best! Apart from everything that the staff formed for the late and minute oysters. will go back, more great place, just don't throw her money away on this oyster. eric

Staff went out of their way to help celebrate our mums 92nd birthday. Sparklers on her dessert without us even requesting this. Such a relaxing atmosphere love the open air sides keeps everyone felling safer in these Covid times. A disabled bathroom is...another very helpful addition for our mum. Our food was delicious and the service was very caring friendly. Great coffee too. Love The Dunes. We'll be back.
The team at Dunes made organising a lunch for 30 people seamless. Sam was particularly great! We had the $75 feed me package which had a wide selection. The food was delicious. We also did the drinks package which included an aperol on arrival, and...a selection of wines throughout the lunch. The restaurant is lovely and light, and is in a great location in Palm Beach. Would highly recommend!
There was a group of us on the weekend for lunch I ordered a Gnocchi with Mushrooms and Truffle sauce It came to the table and the Gnocchi was swimming in oil . There was not even a hint of truffle either smell or taste....The Gnocchi was quite burned on the underside but the texture was relatively light . Would have been better tasting and texture if not burned. It was disappointing
We celebrated a major family birthday with three generations and friends on a sunny autumn afternoon. The staff were very attentive and helpful without being over-the-top. The food was great and supported the great atmosphere of the room (or in our case, the extension).We definitely recommend this restaurant, even if it is a long drive.
