The Coconut Terrace Restaurant is located inside the Palau Pacific Resort. This restaurant has casual alfresco dining facing the lagoon. It serves a breakfast buffet and a á la carte lunch and dinner or a themed night buffet. Specialty dinners can be arranged. This restaurant is open from 6:30am to 10pm daily.
We had the breakfast buffet each morning before going to the dive boats. They have a full table set up of Japanese breakfast foods, toast and breads, fancy pastries, fresh fruit, American-style meats and potatoes table, juice bar, and "The Chef." The Chef would cook any style order of eggs, from omelets to fried eggs. He also cooked pancakes and French toast to order. While we were getting our food, the waiter delivered a pot of tea and coffee to our table.
We only ate lunch one day at the Mesikui Waterhole, which is their outside bar near the swimming pool that is attached to the restaurant. We ordered the good old American cheeseburger and french fries. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the view, along with our food and tropical drinks. This outside bar is open throughout the day and into the evening, and is a great location for viewing the daily of the sunset.
We ate approximately 10 different dinners during our visit. This restaurant has a nightly buffet that changes by the day of the week and is Japanese, Italian, Palauan, American, etc. The buffet had soups, salads, breads, fruits, vegetables, The Chef preparing specific requests, and desserts, with an ice-cream station. Some nights we had the buffet, and other nights we ordered off the menu. The menu had American steaks, Italian pastas, Japanese dishes, Palauan seafood, and all kinds of salads, soups, and desserts to choose from.
Although we did not try the King and Queen Dinner, we did 2 years ago, and I'd like to tell you about this special dinner. Guests are met at the front entrance to the restaurant by the hotel manager and presented with flower crowns. They are then escorted through the restaurant and down onto the beach. A special table with high-back wicker chairs has been placed on a mat at the water's edge. Guests arrive just before sunset, the two fire torches are lit, and the sunset is watched while sipping champagne and listening to the water gently lap against the sand. A special waiter has been assigned for the evening, and a five-course dinner of both Palauan seafood and delicious international dishes are presented for your enjoyment. This dinner can last up to 4 hours and is the most romantic dinner I have ever eaten and attended. We choose this for our 35th wedding anniversary, but it's perfect for a special time with the person you love.
