Upon our arrival the restaurant was pretty empty with only 2 other parties seated. The first issue was that we had to flag the server down to take our order after sitting in the empty restaurant for a ridiculous amount of time. We ordered a $35 simple jug of pimms at the start of the order. The second issue was that menu was simply misleading. We ordered boneless chicken buffalo wings to start. They were edible and fine minus the fact that they weren't spicy. We were expecting a buffalo flavor because of the name but this was not was we received. The sauce was like a sweet barbecue and it wasn't necessarily unpleasant but just wasn't what we wanted. At this time the pimms jug had yet to arrive. We mentioned the jug to the waitress to remind them of our drink order. Our main courses were 2 salads. The classic Caesar and the Beef Thai. The Caesar was fine, but the same quality of a woolworths salad but far more expensive. The beef Thai was inedible. The beef itself was fine. The salad dressing tasted like perfume with a hint of balsamic vinegar. It was so foul I had to brush my teeth after. I ended up eating most of the Caesar salad so we were both left hungry and poor because of the highly priced awful food. Once we finished our salads (except the Thai beef that was disgusting) our pimms jug STILL didn't arrive. Usually I prefer my drinks before I finish my entire 2 course meal. But that's just me. We then flagged down our inattentive waitress to cancel the pimms order all together and they apologized appropriately. The main issue was the horrible service, I can't imagine what this restaurant would be like if it had more than 3 parties. This restaurant has a lot of potential with the great location in surfers paradise but really needs to get it together. We are now writing this while sitting at the Starbucks down the street, eating a hot cross bun and a doughnut because we were still hungry after our $100 meal. Starbucks however was delightful, would 10/10 recommend.

I won't lie - the thing that got us in the door was the drinks specials. They're pretty great, and seem to be running any time, every day. ($10 caramel espresso martinis - hells yeah). Wasn't too busy when we were there - which truthfully added to the chill vibe - and staff were welcoming and friendly. The other clientele looked a little... interesting.. a few rough types around, but it is surfers so that's likely the case anywhere you go. Will probably pop back in for a drink next time I'm up this way.

We were enjoying a special night out on the Gold Coast for a belated anniversary celebration. Just…read morethe two of us. Romance, cocktails and good food were required but my Yelp-fu had yet failed to lead us anywhere particularly good. As we wandered down Surf Parade we realised our options were slim. Koi Restaurant looked very full and the menu was promising but we were politely advised there would be a 20 minute wait for a table. Next door we scoped out Bin 89 and managed to snake a couple who took a few more minutes perusing the menu. We knew our options were closing out fast so we made a dash to land the last table in the whole place. A pokey little two-seater right next to the service desk. Not ideal, but we were smug. The wait staff were welcoming and quick to offer us water and menus. We were able to order cocktails quickly. I had the Purple People Eater which was initially a little strong, but mellowed with the melting ice and the boy had a red wine served in a mini-caraffe - I don't know if it was the sheer size of the glass, but it looked like a teeny tiny serving. We decided quickly on our food order. I went with "small plates" of salmon mousse (served on a half shell), beef taco and salt and pepper calamari. I have a small appetite at the best of times and being gluten free, I had limited (but clearly labelled!) options. The boy went with the rib eye fillet and red wine jus with mash. Very manly (and typical) of him to order meat and potatoes. My salmon mousse was to-die-for. Like, lick the shell clean good. I was making very raunchy noises and my date had to tell me to tone it down it was so fabulous. I considered ordering a second, but remembered I had two more dishes coming. The calamari was so-so. The mayonnaise was fine and creamy, and the batter wasn't too thick and had the right amount of crunch.. the squid was soft and not rubbery at all it was just.. boring. And oily. And very meh. Then the taco arrived. It was a thing of beauty. The shredded beef was spiced to perfection where my mouth felt slightly warm but not obnoxiously hot. The accompaniment in the soft corn tortilla cut through the heavy meat and added delicious texture. I regret not recording the description somewhere as I really have no idea what ingredients they used. Too many cocktails before dinner perhaps? Regardless I enjoyed the ambience, wait-staff and menu items so much I want to go back immediately. Or whenever we have an excuse to spend a weekend on the coast and dine out.

Last Friday they texted me to confirm our reservation. I was very pleased at the time that they did this and was looking forward to our dinner. We had arrived around 445pm and noticed the doors were locked, lights off, and no one inside. We figured it was just because we were a bit early so we waited till 5pm. Still there was no one to be seem. At 503pm I texted the number that I spoke with on Friday to confirm our reservation, yet got no response. At 506pm my partner called the number for the restaurant and a man had answered what sounded like his cell phone. He explained to the man that we were waiting outside and that the reservation was even confirmed. The man was not apologetic at all and insisted we come back at 530pm because that is when they open. We waited till about 515pm and at that point left as we had plans later that evening. Not once did they apologize for their actions or try to justify the experience except for at 527pm when they must have finally arrived and texted us to see if we were coming back and offered an apology. I have never seen such unprofessional service at a restaurant before. Not only did they physically text to confirm the reservation and not show up for it - but they also did not have any justification for their actions. I definitely will not be back and will not be recommending others to come here.
