Vanitas

An extraordinary gastronomic encounter perfectly suited to Palazzo Versace, the place for classical, sophisticated fine dining. The epitome of elegance a night at Vanitas provides a luxurious fine dining experience with meticulous attention to detail and impeccable service. The regularly changing a la carte menu offers a diverse range of fresh seafood and succulent meats created by Chef de Cuisine, Paul Froggatt.

We dined here on Saturday night for a special occasion. Having been here some time ago for The Tasting menu we were really looking foreword to trying it again. The car park next door was closed, pouring rain so we opted to park at the hotel. Not cheap but saved getting wet.
We were seated quickly and the menu explained. We advised we would be doing the Tasting and then asked by our waitress if we would like a drink. We ordered a Champagne and wine and as it arrived, 2 glasses off Champagne arrived for the first course. We might have saved a considerable cost ( read $60 for 2 glasses) if the waitress had mentioned drinks were on the way and we needn’t order.
First course was Snapper and unfortunately the menu doesn’t mention that is was cured in citrus and thus nearly raw. I loved it but my wife was very disappointed. We noticed 2 tables beside us with the same reaction when their plates arrived.
The rest of the Tasting was exceptional and service was relaxed and not pushed despite a very large table obviously well known to management being given most of the attention in the restaurant The matched wines were outstanding. One small mistake, our waitress emptied the bottle for my glass of red and delivered about 1/4 inch of sediment. When I pointed out the error the reaction cost our waitress a tip - she was very abrupt, replaced my glass with a thud and delivered a short filled portion!
We enjoyed our night but would probably go elsewhere next time we want to celebrate an occasion.

Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant

Reviewed By Hardstyl - Central Coast

Dined here in March 2018, fortunately for us not many people were there as was a weeknight and we dined late. Table by the water.
The service was fantastic, the waiter was very attentive to our needs and the food was delicious and delivered in a timely manner. Highly recommend this restaurant! Enjoy.

Sushi Train

Wonderful array of fresh Seafood sushi and Sashimi, and made fresh on request. The choices are vast and the service good. You may have a ten minute wait for a seat as this is a popular dining venue. It's all good here.

Tandoor & Curry Hut

Reviewed By SMS-MJS - Redding, Connecticut

Previous reviews were so positive and we live within walking distance, so we were excited to try Tandoor & Curry Hut. We LOVE chicken tikka and tikka masala, but their versions were disappointing. Chicken was thinly sliced rather than larger chicken breast chunks - which we've had elsewhere in Sydney, the US and Europe. Portions here seemed small, too. Waitstaff was good and attentive. Certainly acceptable, but we'll try another Indian restaurant before we come back.

I didn't 'travel' to this restaurant but I have dined here a few times. You have the choice of eating inside the restaurant itself (very nice) or inside the body of the tavern. Great funky decor too.

Reviewed By Stuartbuxton - Derbyshire, United Kingdom

Booked a window table in the corner for Saturday lunchtime for 4 of us as a “thank you” for our friends’ hospitality. Perhaps not the best choice of seats as it was hot and rather airless, but the staff offered to re-seat us, so no complaint.
The room is nice, open and spacious with great views over towards the Spit and Stradi.
For starters we all had oysters which were really fresh and slid down a treat.
Between us main courses comprised wild barramundi through to avocado and prawns. It was all very nice, cooked (grilled) to perfection and accompanied by fresh ingredients. Desserts, somewhat inevitably, were taken by the two ladies who were both fulsome in their praise. I’m afraid I can’t remember what they were , but I think one was a brandy snap filled with cream and the other a chocolate thing. Anyway they were both well received and our Labrador dwelling friends say they will revisit at the first opportunity.
Good place which I would recommend and would revisit if ever in the area again.

Matsuzaka Teppanyaki

Matsuzaka Teppanyaki was established in Jan 2005 and located in Aqua Building , Labrador... On Broadwaters, the soothing sea breeze and calm views makes Matsuzaka a very relaxing place on the Gold Coast. Either it is a romantic dinner alfresco or a get together party in front of the teppan table, we will make it a special night for you. The word Teppanyaki is derived from teppan, which means iron plate and yaki means grilled, it refers to the dishes cooked on iron plate. With quality steak, chicken and mouth watering sea food, Matsuzaka will definitely satisfy even the most experienced teppanyaki guests. Try our exclusive house sauce of three peppercorn and honey mustard with your dishes and you will know why Matsuzaka is one of the best teppanyaki on the Coast. Our Chefs are arguably one of the best in the business and quality is what they strive for. Manager on site Edgar, will take care of all your needs and make sure that you have a pleasant and wonderful experience.

3 Sixty Restaurant Bar

Reviewed By SMS-MJS - Redding, Connecticut

A great place to enjoy brunch! Three Sixty opens at 7 am and serves delicious food all day in its incredible oceanfront location. Breezy seaside seats and great service. The best breakfast/lunch on the Gold Coast, in our opinion! Lots of fresh options, beautifully prepared and presented meals. Can't wait to go back again to try dinner.
BTW - the bar area is also fantastic for an afternoon drink. It gives the feel of siting at a lovely bar in the Florida Keys! Bartender willing to make any drink to suit your taste!
