A nice surprise, the decor is absolutely lovely with beautiful old authentic furniture around. Unfortunately the light above me was very bright and I think dimmer lighting would suit this (and all) restaurants better, but The service was fantastic and the food was delicious.
The mixed entree was a great way to get a taster and the waiter/owner patiently explained all the dishes for us.
There is also an array of delicious Thai food but we only tried the Indian. They make it easy... Select your meat, select your sauce, select your heat... The chicken tikka was delicious.
All in all a lovely night out.

Approximate cost: $17

The food here has quality burning think it is way too expensive for a family meal . It may attract more tourist business but I think as a local it will not be my Favourite because of the price.
The seafood was nice and fresh though. :)

This review is for Wild Rocket @ Misty's, Montville QLD

I have been here before when it was 'Misty's' many years ago, so I was impressed to find it even better than before. My only gripe was I booked online, big mistake and they did not have a record of my booking when we arrived, being a special surprise birthday treat, I was disappointed we didn't get the romantic table I'd ordered or the special birthday desert I'd requested online.
The place is charming, in a historic building in the main street of montville and the atmosphere was cozy - almost fine dining.
The food was a treat, I had the Pork Belly which was fantastic and my partner had lamb, he loved the potato croquettes. We shared a lovely apple & blueberry crumble for desert and they did make a special birthday decorated plate once I requested it.
What I did love about it, is that they source ALL the produce from LOCAL suppliers and I think that's a real dedication.
I would recommend to phone them to make your booking so you are not disappointed.

I have to say WOW the food is special. I had to try snails and they were beautiful! The duck is also fantastic and I have also been back to try the quail which was devine. There are not a lot of French restaurants about the Gold Coast and although this place is located under a daggy apartment block, it has a really warm atmosphere. I loved it!

We ended up taking our teenage son here for a feed with his mates, I wasn't so impressed with the crowd but the boys enjoyed their burgers. I thought it was a bit too pricey but we did love wandering around and checking out all the guitars, signed paraphernalia and pictures of stars!
Bit touristy and later becomes a bit 'clubby'.

Awesome position, walk to shops, broadbeach restaurants and cafes, the beach, convention centre & casino!
Wonderful swimming pool and spa (although a little murky, we did see them attending to it) and we could view the pool from our balcony. Great value for a Gold Coast holiday to visit the attractions or locals to just escape the routine of home and relax! We had a BBQ at the pool with friends visiting from overseas and the kids had a ball.

The food here is Expensive for Asian style BUT it is excellent!
The duck is fabulous and there is a great range of dishes.
I even liked the daggy live entertainment on the weekend.
They do a mean yum-cha on Sunday too

I love this little cafe, just drive past and see the white tablecloths and candles, it is very inviting.
The menu is great, love the salads (scallop one is my fav) and the angry prawn pizza is fab.
It's a little pricey but more restaurant-y than cafe-ish so expected... And the service is good. :)

The meals are really large, we could share a main meal I wouldn't want to eat one by myself!
The oyster shots are a fun party starter and the kids loved the pesto pizza bread. Great value for a family or a work function.

The director of this company goes the extra mile. He is always helpful and since we listed our property for rental through now properties, we haven't had to worry about anything, they've taken care of all the details which is such a relief after a lot of stress we have been through previously renting out this house.
He found a respectable tenant straight away so it wasn't empty and we find him so approachable and easy to deal with.
