Italian Restaurant open Wednesday to Monday 6.00 till late, and Sunday Lunch from 12.00
Reviewed By Hales2010 - Gold Coast, Australia
We have been dining at this establishment for many years and never had a bad meal.
Our meals were very tasty with the Mussels entree delish. We both had Veal dishes which were large and the
tastiest we've had in ages.
If your looking for a good Italian meal on the coast you can't go past Raffino's and the service was excellent.

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.
5. Matsuzaka Teppanyaki
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 133 reviews
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.

Not a Japanese in sight... way overpriced. Food very very average. Alcohol even more expensive. I have my doubts about the cookie cutter scallops. We wont be going back guys. Sorry.

7. 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!

Great local restuarant
Reviewed By Sleija
Loved the garlic and parmesan pizza however when we got to the vegetarian pizza we found some questionable hair in it. The owner joked it looked like fur and discarded it. Considering it was found under all the toppings and I don't own a pet, this is worrying. Perhaps if we had brought it up sooner it wouldn't have been treated as a joke. We left the rest of the pizza and took the pasta home to only discard it after feeling grossed out by the thought of our experience.
9. Oasis Thai and Malay
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 50 reviews
Reviewed By peter e - Runaway Bay, Australia
Went with friends last night to Oasis Thai, the food is very good as is the service but based on what we normally get re plate size of food there is a fair bit less. Can understand receiving less prawns as they are expensive but the vegetable mixed with the chicken was almost non existent. Other dishes were also very small.
Bit strange as normally you cannot finish the meals. Food is still very good though,

My wife and I went here with our daughter and her husband last night. We had a great meal. We had Tapas. You could not fault the food or the service. It was all delicious. They make excellent cocktails as well. There is also live music which was very good. Would highly recommend. Though it is not a cheap way of eating, Monsoon is on a par with other Tapas restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed the night.
