About the restaurant

European Bar & Restaurant

--- Serial Diners' Choice Award winner and the Sunshine Coast's worst-kept secret ---

Honest, uncomplicated European cuisine done well. Chef Jordan Ryan honours our European traditions whilst celebrating the beautiful premium local produce the Sunshine Coast has to offer.

Belgian Trappist and Lambic on tap, European and Australian wines, classic cocktails and our signature Deco Sour.

Two in-house sommeliers look after the cellar and build pairings by the glass or by the course. Service is calm and sharp, you notice it only because nothing is ever missing.

The interior and every piece of furniture in it was designed and built by us.

We had a lovely dinner at Mariella! Family of 5, two kids, mum, dad and grandma. Our waiter was lovely, suggesting things and explaining dishes with enthusiasm. Drinks were very efficient and with how busy the kitchen was food was delivered within a good time! The Tuna Ceviche Tostada was the table fave and the cocktail in the big green tiki! Love the decor too. All the bits and bobs were perfect!

Delilah was a great experience the food was delicious, recommendation for the special was spot on! The only thing I can say is the waitresses reached across us when serving food & drink. This may be an old fashioned consideration but makes a difference to the dining experience. Service was friendly & timely.
