Especially seeing as the place is VERY popular and crowded! Good on the business owners for having a really trendy little venue right on the beach front! But a bit of improvement is needed to cater for the masses. To order your drinks, you must queue up at the counter for ages. If you want a beer on tap, you have a choice of two: Peroni or Carlton Light. So I guess wine drinkers would have more choice, seeing as it's a wine bar. Still, regardless of your choice of drop, you must pay for your drink there at the counter, and then go back to your table and WAIT 20 minutes for them to bring it out! They don't pour it out or give it to you there and then. So much for a pre-dinner drink while you decide what to eat. After you receive your drinks, you then have to wait another 20-30 minutes before someone comes over to take your meal orders. And then after you've ordered, there's another 20-30 minute wait. Don't come here for a quick feed before a movie. You will be here for several hours so strap yourself in and just enjoy the scenery and the company you're with. The food - tapas, a little salad, small snack plates of chips, bits of fish, various other tidbits - is ok. It's not mind blowing. It won't fill you up. But it's pleasant enough. You spend a lot of time waiting between drinks and food so there's plenty of time for you to digest everything. And it's a nice and pleasant environment with relaxed lighting and atmosphere. Great opportunity to talk with your group or family. One great thing is they allow everybody to pay for their meals separately. On card too! Amazing! Do you know how hard it is to find a restaurant in this modern age who allow this? Most restaurants still insist upon the whole table of diners pooling their cash together, or having one person foot the whole bill on their card while the rest of the table have to pay that one person back later. Letting us all queue up and pay for our own meals on card separately is a huge bonus. I wouldn't say no if I was invited to come back. I'm prepared now to wait. But maybe I'll try the wine next time.

It's best attribute was it was usually not too getting the order cooked. it's quality and quantity varied on the staff and the day.

My wife and I are repeat customers at Golden Gallery Chinese Restaurant (next to Aldi towards the…read moresurf side of Bribie Island) because we've found the service to be very friendly and efficient, and the food tastes great! I absolutely LOVE the chicken with cashew nuts. We always dine in. It's fun to have a chuckle at the tacky 1970s decor and even tackier saxophone muzak playing in the background (including one song that sounds a bit like a sax version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"). But this is all part of the charm. FYI: This is a BYO restaurant. So make sure you get yourself some nice beer or wine from a bottle shop beforehand. Golden Gallery has less dine in customers than the other Chinese restaurant on Bribie Island so it's always a relaxing and intimate dinner. The lady who greets us and serves up the food is very friendly and happy. We're big fans!

Terrific service and all the meals WERE SERVED PIPING HOT (hear that all other restaurants on Bribie). So I had to ask the owner 'Where in Italy did the chefs come from' - the answer was Punjab, India!! Go figure. But it does make sense. A chef from a region in the world that makes the best curries and flatbreads has fused his knowledge to create great Italian sauces and pizza's. It's like the Indian Brothers collided with the Greek Mafia - talk about Con-fusion. BOTH LICENSED AND BYO FOLKS.

I have a soft spot for Mojos. I really do. A humble beach shack sheltering and feeding the family masses. I have been there more than a couple times now. The place to me represents the epitome of the Australian family beach cafe culture and is right on one of Australia's most under rated beautiful surf beaches. One of the key attributes to this particular pristine beach is that it is perfect for kids. A decent stretch of shallow submerged sand and a small to moderate swell make it a great playground for all.
