I had high hopes for this restaurant but was truly let down. I made a reservation last week to…read moreenjoy a dinner this past Tuesday at 5pm with my partner. 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.

The cafe is in the corner and easy to spot - there is on street parking with a few off street bays. The Cafe is dog friendly outside seating - we had our Labrador and she was very happy - getting attention from staff and customers. It's walk up, COVID sign in and you' lol be seated. The waiter staff will give you a tablet and this has menu and you order from the tablet for the table - I got it first try so it's easy. Menu has lots of Gluten free and Vegan options. The coffee hit the mark every time - it was excellent. Service was efficient and friendly - the waitresses checked in on us to make sure all was well. Food was very good - good serves and excellently prepared. We kept on coming back ! Note it does get crowded at peak times.

Everything else was beautiful, from the decor to…read morethe shared plates of baked camembert, seared salmon, mouth-watering slow-cooked beef cheeks... but no coffee machine is a real bummer. I joined a large group around a massive stone table at the rear of the venue, and was happy to hear they had easily catered for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free diets, all with a smile. So flexibility is definitely one of their positives. Fresh, modern decor and a solid wine list were also perks, with plenty of gorgeous fixtures and interesting glassware to distract people from their phones. Looking around the table, there were barely any in sight! Service was fair considering the size of the group (around 25) but would have been inadequate for a smaller table. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt - but having two staff for lunch on a Saturday is probably too few. They were cheery and helpful though. The food was phenomenal and with two set menu options with generous provisions, there were more than a few who tapped out before the last course. We enjoyed a baked cheese, amazing sweet potato croquettes, a grilled fennel starter for vegetarians, a seared salmon starter as well as a big juicy piece of salmon with vegetables, pork belly with strips of perfect crackling, slow roasted lamb with veg, and the rich and sumptuous beef cheeks. Unreal. I had to head somewhere else for the coffee, otherwise it would have been great to sit and digest the amazing spread in the sunshine for just a little longer.

My hubby and I recently stayed in beautiful Burleigh Waters for a few days during a big trip to Australia. We already knew that the coffee culture in this amazing country is a big deal, and couldn't wait to sip flat whites every day at various cafes we'd already researched from Sydney to the Gold Coast to the Whitsundays! Once we arrived in Burleigh Heads, we checked out Quest one morning, and quickly realized that this was THE place to be! We ended up going every morning and loved the laid back ambiance and friendly, local vibes. Even the owner seemed to know everyone on a first name basis and greeted everyone! Our coffees were always perfectly rich, bold and balanced, and they paired so nicely with one of their delicious baked goods (everything is baked in-house btw!). What made our experience even better was that they had a variety of yummy vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Our favorites were their banana bread and zucchini & pineapple bread, which they will also toast for you if you'd like. We honestly miss this place already and wish they had a location here in the Bay Area, California! Guess we'll just have to find a way to get back to the Gold Coast again soon!

Then we were constantly asked if we were ready to order even after telling them we were still waiting for people. Then when we were ready to order it was impossible to flag down any staff, and took an age to clear the table.0 They brought out what we thought was complimentary bread as we did not order any starters but we were still charged for it. The food itself is great, everyone's meals looked and smelt amazing. Drinks are reasonable. This place suffers from typical Gold Coast poor hospitality service. If you're busy put more staff on; and I have nothing against back to back booking I used to do them myself when I worked in the industry but the standard rule it allow a 30 minute gap between bookings and to let people know there is another booking and that they need to leave by x time, it is not rocket science. And a smile wouldn't hurt either.

Title: Disappointing Thai Beef Salad Experience…read more I recently visited RQ Tavern and ordered the Warm Thai Beef Salad, excited to enjoy a meal that had previously been delicious. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations. What I Ordered: * Dish: Warm Thai Beef Salad * Menu Description: Marinated Thai beef, bean sprouts, Vietnamese mint, julienne vegetables, Thai basil, crispy noodles, and sweet soy glaze. My Experience: * Presentation: The salad was a mountain of rocket with quartered tomatoes and slices of cucumber, which was a far cry from the vibrant dish I anticipated. * Quality of Ingredients: The beef was gristly, making it difficult to enjoy, and there was an absence of the promised basil, mint, and julienned vegetables. * Overall Satisfaction: If I hadn't been starving, I would have sent the dish back. Sadly, it was only acceptable in a pinch. Conclusion: I hope this review helps the kitchen at Rows Tavern to revisit the preparation of this salad. It used to be a standout dish, and with some adjustments, it could be great again. I look forward to seeing improvements on my next visit!

First…read moreof all, on their every day menu, Rack of Lamb is $28 but on the 2-4-1 mains night they put the price up to $34. Not cool. Then they advertise gluten free option calamari, which two people in our group wanted, but it's technically not gluten free because it's cooked in same oil as non-gluten free calamari! So they offer to grill it, but then decide they can't do that so they offer steaks! Really?! My rack of lamb, which was sitting on the most enormous pile of mash, was a generous portion for sure & the half that was cooked medium rare was lovely but the other half was raw! When I told the waitress when she was clearing my plate & asked why I didn't finish it, she just shrugged & said oh ok! Not cool.

They didn't have too many reviews on Yelp however I love French food so I definitely wanted to give them a try. During this first visit I ordered their special of the day which was a Salmon Benedict with Chili Béarnaise sauce. I was a bit worried it would be spicy but the sweet waitress let me try some of the sauce ahead of time and the flavor was incredible! My partner ordered the Croque Madame. We also got a jug of orange juice. Both our meals impressed us very much! The ingredients are so fresh and everything is full of flavor. Even the orange juice we could taste was freshly squeezed. We were so impressed during the first visit that we have gone back twice more. The two other visits I ordered the duck confit. It normally comes with a pepper sauce, however since I can't eat spicy food I requested to change it to the red wine jus - which they have always been so accommodating with! My partner ordered the French Pie. Both of our meals were exceptional. The duck confit is some of the best Ive ever eaten! The red win jus goes so perfectly with it and the potato is amazing! They also have warm croissants which we love and a lot of fresh bakery items that we haven't tried. There is both indoor and outdoor seating as well as takeaway options. We love coming here not only for the amazing food but also the fantastic service. The only downfall is having trouble sometimes finding parking but it is worth the effort. Highly recommend!

It is located on the outside part of the mall near the lake. The best part is while every restaurant closes early - they are open till 10pm! The customer service is always top notch at this location, which keeps me coming back. That and their incredible burgers. Each time I've come I have ordered the same truffle burger. It is delicious and always comes cooked perfectly. They do have a huge selection of burgers though and my partner always orders a different one during each visit. Another great thing is after you order you are presented with bottle caps. To the left of the register they have three charities they work with and big jars for them. You can read all about the charities and put your bottle caps into whichever one you want to donate to. Every month the charities change so its always great to feel like you're giving back while eating here!
