This review is for Passion On A Plate, Redcliffe QLD

verified email - 07 Mar 2014

New cafe, on the waterfront at Redcliffe next to the RSL. We walked passed last weekend but did not entry as the breakfast menu did not appeal to us. Called in today as the other cafe's were full, Great lunch time menu something for everyone, My Partner ate the fish and was very impressed, cooked just right, not dry, plenty of veges, good size meal. I was torn between the ox & kidney pie & the steak sandwich, i went with the steak sanga, steak was cooked as per my request, top cut of meat, all in all very enjoyable. A let down was the selection of drinks, we had a selection of 3, none of which you would have with a meal unless you were a child. we played it safe and had a water. We decided to stay on for a coffee and dessert, coffee was fresh and not burnt and the Pav serving was big enough to share between two. We checked out the diner menu while we were waiting once again something for everyone, GF options as well, price was the going rate $15-20 a meal. Staff friendly but obviously new & nervous, she left some of the coffee in the cup, had more of a shake going than Elvis. Would we go back? yes. It is new and they are still finding their feet, food good, view good, staff friendly, good decor & priced OK.

Approximate cost: $20-30

I am not what you would call a regular, I book in for one or two nights a year when i travel to the Gold Coast over the last two years. The rooms are spacious with all the latest mod con's. Bathroom is luxurious with big spa baths to soak ans wallow in. Fantastic views out to sea and the mountains. (last trip we whale watched from the comfort of our room) Staff are always friendly and go the extra mile without waiting to be asked. restaurants & bars are first class and good value for money, and the best part is it isn't that expensive, great value for money.

Approximate cost: $200.00 p/n

This review is for Cactus Jack Mexican Restaurant, Redcliffe QLD

verified email - 27 Feb 2014

I have had the displeasure of dining at Cactus Jack several times now. When it first opened I thought wow great location, decor something different to most in the area, food looks good, priced ok. Service is the worst, at first i was gracious and said it was new and they were finding their feet, returned again several times as our guest all wanted to try it out. NEVER AGAIN. the wait is 40 mins just to have someone serve you add another hour wait for your meal, have only half of them arrive, you wait another 15 mins for the other meals. This is not a once off experience, they are repeat offenders. Have spoken to other friends & locals all have the same horror stories, In closing I say burn it down & start again. yes it is that bad

Approximate cost: $20-30

Nice & quiet off the main street cafe, good service, clean & fresh dining room, food servings good size, food taste has been westernized, lacks the bite & zing of a traditional Vietnamese feed

This review is for Moo Moos Restaurant, Broadbeach QLD

Great food, reasonable value for money, very poor service.
We had made a reservation, turned up on time, restaurant was half full. we received our entree on time but endured a two hour wait for our main. People who arrived at tables after us came and went. When we asked what the delay was we were told that it is coming. Will not be returning again, extremely poor service for a restaurant of this type

This review is for The Cuban, Broadbeach QLD

verified email - 28 May 2013

The Cuban with out doubt has the best coffee going. Overall the staff were helpful and friendly, food was great and excellent value for money. We tried The Cuban out for breakfast, lunch and dinner over the course of the weekend and could not fault it. I only wish it was closer to home.

This review is for Lust Cafe, Broadbeach QLD

Worse service and attitude from owner and staff that I have ever experienced. We were left to sit for 30 mins while people walked in off the street and were served. When we walked out the owner then asked if there was a problem. After explaining to the owner the problem he told us it was our problem. DON"T GO THERE, RUDE & HOPELESS.

This review is for Thai Hut, Redcliffe QLD

The Thai Hut is the real deal if you love traditional Thai,Service is always with a big smile, we are never kept waiting. I have just had the most amazing chilli prawn dish, I asked for authentic and it was as good as any dish i've had in Bangkok
