        Rydges Tradewinds Cairns starts 2010 afresh by launching its new and innovative signature restaurant and bar, Sea Level Food &amp;amp; Wine. With uninterrupted views of Cairns Esplanade and waterfront, Sea Level Food &amp;amp; Wine is aptly named while promising an idyllic setting for guests.
According to the hotels general manager, Matthew Hurley, Sea Level Food &amp;amp; Wine has been revised to reflect the citys laid back vibe and waterfront setting. Instead of going down the traditional menu path of entrée, main and dessert, we put a lot of thought into how this outlet is enjoyed and in particular, is pleasing to guests. That is how and why we came up with the small, share and large plates concept. 
While the very nature of its location is great for a sundowner, a clever menu is now destined to make it the perfect meeting place for lunch, cocktails or dinner. While fresh farm produce and seafood feature in Sea Levels menu in all options  be they from the small plate, salads or large plate dishes, it is the tapas or share plates that will appeal to those in search of a stylish cocktail venue. This versatile option invites guests to make their own platter to share  be it a choice of two or three small plates. 
Matthew predicts guests will love the new menu that combines the best of the best this region has to offer in terms of produce while adding a good dose of global flavours and flair  be it Asia, the Middle East, Europe or Australia. 
For those wanting to try something a little different and delicious, I recommend our Soft Shell Crab, Kicked-up Bloody Mary Oysters or Tempura Prawn Shooters&quot; (all small plates) to start with while the large plates comprise many highlights including Beef Cheek, Roasted Kangaroo Fillet or house specialty, Potato Gnocchi. Added to this, are a good choice of health laden and flavoursome salads and sides that include some exotic newcomers like Skordalia Potato Mash and Sea Levels signature Caesar Salad. 
Sea Level Food &amp;amp; Wine is open seven days from 12 noon until late.        ]]></description>
