This place has been a favourite of my family and extended family for years, decades even. And having not gone for a few years, I was excited to go again last night. It certainly lived up to my memories, expectations and more. The seafood buffet steals the show every Friday and Saturday night. With endless supply of oysters, massels, bugs, salmon, prawns, and more any seafood foodie will not be disappointed or leave hungry. For non seafood loves there is plenty on offer with a two hot bars, salads bar, cheese bar, soup bar, fruit bar, kids bar, drinks bar, and finally a dessert bar and ice-cream bar. Pricey but worth it. Get there before 7:30pm to avoid an hour wait. Can't wait to go again.

OK so normally I don't like these trendy super-schmick kinds of places (of which Broadbeach has…read moremany) but the food here was REALLY REALLY good. And this is a burger place. And I'm a vegan. I was vacationing on the Gold Coast with my parents, and we went in here for dinner on a whim because we were dressed pretty casually and they looked a little more forgiving of boardshorts and flip-flops than the other trendy dinner spots nearby. At first I had my reservations about whether or not I could eat anything here, but when I told the manager I was vegan, he didn't even bat an eye. He said they have two veggie burgers on the menu, neither of which uses egg in the binder. He volunteered this information on his own -- I didn't even have to ask, which definitely shows he's knowledgeable about veganism, because most restaurant proprietors have no clue that a lot of veggie burgers use egg. There are two veggie burgers -- the Eats Roots and Leaves ($14.50, red lentil and chickpea patty with coleslaw and tomato relish) and the Magic Mushroom ($12, mushroom patty with lettuce, red peppers, feta, and garlic ailoi). He told me the Magic Mushroom could be made vegan without the feta and aioli, but I'm not a mushroom fanatic so I opted with the Eats Roots and Leaves, which was DELICIOUS. All the flavours just melded together perfectly, and the patty stayed together perfectly, no crumbling. The bun wasn't too scratchy or hard (like some burger buns in Oz are) and it was a very filling dinner with a side of fries for under $20. My parents also enjoyed their (meaty) burgers and fries. Make no mistake, this place is a drinking establishment too -- as evidenced by their splashy cocktail and wine list, and the raucous (possible hen's party) group of women enjoying their bevvies next to us. So you don't have to have a meal here to enjoy this place (although the food really is great.) The atmosphere is...well, Broadbeach. Trendy, shiny, and all those other adjectives. A splashy mural was painted on one wall, depicting a typical Gold Coast beach scene (including bikini-clad maidens and ibis stealing food), and some of the seating areas had swings suspended from the ceiling as chairs! I wanted to sit at a table with swings, but my parents weren't keen and the hen's party swooped in and seized them anyway. The place is buzzing, it's trendy, it's very Broadbeach-y -- but the food is delicious and it's a fun place, and I love that they are so accommodating for vegans.

Who doesn't like a good burger? And who doesn't like a good bar? Nobody worth knowing, that's who…read more And here we have a burger bar, combining the very best of both. Tucked away in the swanky strip of bars and restaurants along Oracle Boulevard in Broadbeach, this place is a pleasant surprise. Pleasant because it's welcoming and hip at the same time - not an easy trick to pull off - and surprising because the food is actually reasonably priced while also being delicious. I like everything about this joint. For a start, there's a wide array of seating to suit just about any group. Tables inside and out to suit parties of all sizes, a couple of comfy couches, an actual bar with bar stools in case you're on your own, and even a few swing seats hung from the ceiling (haven't seen that before). The bar is well stocked with an excellent array of beers from the crafty to the usual suspects, and a wine list of similar merit sits comfortably alongside what looks a handy offering of cocktail choices for those that way inclined. I enjoyed the 'Cow Pig Cow' burger but there's one for every taste, including fish and vegie options, and other nibblies for those not in the burger mood. Get there.

Tried one of the degustation menus ($65 per person) and have to say it was overall pretty good. I'd…read moremade a reservation beforehand and we were one of the first to arrive for dinner seating times, so we were seated right away. We walked coming from the CBD (it was a far walk...) and not up from the river, so it was a surprise to see a restaurant among car sales lots and business buildings. They offer us still, sparkling or filtered tap water. Extra charge for still and sparkling water. We didn't end up pairing the meal with any wine, but did get drinks (also very good). 6 courses (not including the bread starter) were: 1. salmon tartare: Fantastic. Don't know how the tartare was juicy without being fishy or having a strong flavor, but it was. Frozen yuzu was cool. 2. baby corn: Salty, but fun texture-wise. Hollandaise sauce was so good. I think it would have been fun to eat with the bread as well. 3. bbq prawns: Flavorful and delicious. Personally didn't understand the flavors of the apple tabouleh with it. 4. lamb rack: Someone said Australians really know how to cook lamb. This was my first taste of lamb in Australia. Not sure how to describe other than perfect. 5. lychee sorbet: Fine, but not memorable. I like lychee. 6. black sesame crepe: I thought it was a surprisingly heavy and filling dessert to end on, but my partner loved it. Even though I love black sesame, my favorite was actually the pandan gelato. It made me seriously hope that pandan-flavored foods are a thing in Australia, because they aren't a flavor trend in the US. I'm not sure if the bread was unlimited, but I did get to at least have two slices. If it were unlimited...my stomach would be in danger. Service was great and I left full and happy. Would definitely come again if I'm ever back in Brisbane, hopefully to try their regular menu.
