Top Event venues in Surfers Paradise, Australia

We had breakfast at the Surfers Paradise Beach Cafe, and it was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance was interesting with the birds wanting to participate in our eating experience. It is a gorgeous spot by the ocean. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I recommend stopping by for a meal if you’re in the area! Say Hi to the bin chicken!

Had breakfast, nothing special about the service, but i admire the staff seems to always try outfast the birds from snatching leftovers (which seems to cause a potential mess and danger to other customers).
Good overseeing the beach, undercover area.
Foods were good, just a normal breakfast, nothing too special, nothing wrong either.

Like dining with seagulls? Please improve here, very disappointed. So, let’s break it down…

Atmosphere: **
Sunday night, beach front dining. We found a 7 seat high (bar) table, which was very cramped and felt uncomfortable. Additionally, the tables seemed over compressed and hard to negotiate if you needed to walk around. Inside the venue was better presented but also look very unused considering it’s the Gold Coast. As the open area is shared with 3 other restaurants the customer experience feels very flat.

Customer Service: **
I give this rating as constructional feedback.
You were understaffed tonight, with delays on the food - additionally a mushroom sauce was missing from the rump steak order, notified immediately at the bar and it took almost 10 minutes to get it out to us.
Staff were friendly and doing the best they could but it felt poorly organised with tables going un-bussed for some time. This allowed for seagulls to fly in, land on the tables and start eating the left over food. This is a serious hygiene issue - more attention here should be given. The whole area should be netted from guards to the roadside ceiling.

Food (why we are here): ***
Order Chicken Parmigiana & Beef Brisket Burger (chef special)
Chicken Parmigiana: Napoli sauce was really flat in flavour, I suspect that not enough sauce was used. The chicken was good thick portion though, juicy and tasty. Salad seemed thrown together, but the chips were excellent!
Beef Brisket Burger: brisket was melt in your mouth texture, but sriracha sauce was lacking in hot spice flavour, was rather mild for me, the size of the burger was perfect, larger then your normal burger, overall a tasty good size burger only, no chips which was an extra cost.

Overall: **

I believe there are some serious issues that need to be addressed with the service, food and atmosphere of this restaurant and also the outside dining area in general across all of these restaurants. I highly encourage you to look into this.

At first I was shocked to pay for a $22 burger, alone with no fries... But WOW! The biggest chicken schnitzel burger I've ever seen. Worth the money! Food was quickly served and fresh. My husband had the burger with the lot with a side of sweet potato fries, there was so many fries to share with three of us. Delicious! Our friend from Mexico wanted to try the barramundi fish. She was sooo happy! She said compliments to the chef. 🙏🏼😊. This restaurant is worth going too, as you have the beautiful view of the beach 🏖️

We went for lunch today. Food was amazing, and the captain and crew were the greatest. Everyone was so friendly and helpful cant wait to go again, thank you again from Steve and Lucy

Had lunch at Beach Cafe recently, and the food was fantastic! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a meal by the water with some really great options on the menu.

That said, the service was quite slow. The staff were friendly, but it took a while for our food to arrive, even though it wasn’t too busy. If you’re not in a rush, it’s still a nice place to relax and enjoy the view.

I’d definitely come back for the food, but hopefully, next time the service is a bit faster!

The location was welcoming, and the service and food were excellent. Please use the QR code to place your order. I find this setup convenient, although it may not offer traditional table service like some negative 1-star reviews 😁

Very delicious , we couldn't get through it. Eggs were slightly too runny for me, but I didn't have the option to choose eggs via QR Code.

Other than that food was great and customer service 10/10.

We had a family breakfast here. Service was good and the food was good too. Great atmosphere and location in surfer paradise

We had a great time on our lunchtime cruise. The staff were wonderful, and the buffet was fabulous. The allocated seating made it so much more civilised as there was no 'first in, best seat'. The same applied to the way that each table was called up to get their food.
The commentary was really informative and interesting, and the view from the top deck was great.
I highly recommend this lunch cruise to anyone looking for a good sightseeing trip and excellent food.

Excellent cruise - Informative and funny mix of commentary and good music played throughout. Lunch buffet was very tasty and generous proportions. Great mix of wine and cocktails at the bar. Nathan and his team did a great job of checking in to make sure everyone was looked after and having a lovely time.

Great way to spend a winter sunny day! Leisurely cruise with a comfy upper deck, good food, and fair prices wines. Cute boat with well cared for facilities. Thanks to Nathan, Georgia, Rihanna, Glen and Fred.

Amazing experience! We were very lucky to see some whales breach!!! Amazing knowledge of the captain and overall very satisfied! Make sure to take sea sick tablets!

Lunch cruise was fantastic from the minute we boarded the boat. Beautifully organised with friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially the captain. Loads of information and history was shared while cruising the inlet. Food was plenty full and tasty. I recommend Sea World Cruises for everyone when visiting the Gold Coast

From start to finish we had an amazing time, weather was great so we were able to sit outside, the buffet on board was excellent and all the staff and service were amazing. our waitress Emma was Awesome. We Definitely recommend going and enjoying everything the cruise offers. We will definitely be going again

Second time doing this but this time lunch and not dinner. Came for my daughter birthday with a group of 8. The weather was not our friend but we throughly enjoyed it. The meal it self was great, fresh prawns, mussels, roast cold chicken and fresh salads to choose from. Pavlova for dessert. We had such a great time and would highly recommend. I preferred the dinner as being in the water with the lights was great!

We had our staff Xmas party at this venue last night, Jason was our chef and he was amazing. Food was fantastic and we all left very full. A great night was had by all of our workers and their families. Thanks for your service

Awesome restaurant and service! Participating in the acts with the Chef was awseome and we had a great time. The Chef was awesome and very entertaining. Food was perfect! Special thanks to Chef Jason (served us today for dinner).
Otherwise, Great place for a great time.

Amazing!!! Jason was our chef and he was witty, skilled and cooked the food perfectly! We had the absolute best night, cocktails were delicious and atmosphere was perfect. We were at the early seating with another family and kids all enjoyed it too! If you are staying at surfers you must go!!

Asami Teppanyaki is definitely what they say they are, it’s the place to be!

Our second time dining here at Asami Teppanyaki. We are so amazed by the overall experience again. Food dishes were wonderfully presented with yummy sides and fabulous cocktails. The show experience itself have been nothing but amazing, Chef Jomar knew what he was doing and made sure to keep us entertained throughout the whole experience which we enjoyed a lot! The customer service were professional and have looked after us really well. The venue had beautiful ambiance. The fire from the show was my top favourite of the entire experience besides the yummy dishes!

It’s the most fun we’ve had dinner out in a long time. Really look forward to coming back and dining at Asami Teppanyaki again!

What an experience! My husband and I are celebrating our marriage and was gifted with a good time out at this amazing restaurant. I didn’t know what to expect but I was well and truly blown away!
Amazing food and cocktails, and our Chef was hilarious! My cheeks hurt from laughing so much. The service was impeccable, and they even brought out cute little cakes with a candle for us to blow out, it was a nice touch.

Definitely a must do! Highly recommended 🙌🏼

Really awful food that was burnt and over salted, badly presented and all in all not worth the plate. Chefs knew how to have a hit rate of throwing food into peoples mouths 40% of the time. Lighting alcohol on fire and dropping their tools and laughing it off. One menu for food and one for alcohol which they push often and regularly. When asking for water they offered still or sparkling when I said normal water they disdainfully said tap water quite loudly. I can see why they would write their messages in salt, it’s a chef special. Lots of children crying, breaking things and generally just bang things around trying to copy the “chefs”. Give this one a miss.

Our first time experiencing Teppanyaki - and it was amazing. The chef is so talented and entertaining. We went for lunch (around noon) and we are vegetarians but they didn’t disappoint. They gave us some miso soup and salad to begin and then we ordered some veg teppanyaki and some veg udon noodles. The veggies and Tofu was super delicious. Udon noodles were slightly sweet for my liking but my husband liked it - so guess it is a preference. Overall it was a great experience.

Great restaurant!

Service, food and drinks were amazing.

Thank you to our chef Neil who went above and beyond to make sure our anniversary dining experience was 5 star and one to remember.

Highly recommend! We will definately be back again soon 🥰
