    I did not expected much, but it was great!! We had the Chef's Signature Selection and it was very good. I was blown away with the ceviche (delicious!!) and the beef (tataki and wagyu) was excellent! Barramundi was not my cup of tea. We asked for dessert change and it was not a problem (we changed panna cotta to passionfruit tart). Staff friendly and attentive. Only thing I did not like was the dimmed light. Sometimes I could not see the beautifuly presented meals - which was a pity. Otherwise very good and I would recommend it to you all.

    Beautifully presented dishes and our waiter was lovely. However, the food was super salty, mains took over an hour to come out and 2 x of the chicken dishes we ordered were flat out raw. We sent back both dishes to be told the chicken is sous vide to avoid it being over cooked and this was normal. Nothing was really done about it, the chef was adamant it was cooked. I think the photos speak for themselves.

    Cool place, good service, set menu was good value, entree, steak and dessert or cheese. Comprehensive wine list, with good prices. Big airy restaurant ideal for larger groups.

    The right mood and the right food! The lights are low, the atmosphere is relaxed. The food is excellent, it is fine dining and they do it with pride. Their bar is extensive, an impressive wall of colourful glass as a backdrop to an already impressive setting. Service suits the rest of the experience, quick, friendly and willing to give advice on menu options where requested. I have been here a few times now and these points have been consistent across all visits. I will be back.

    We had an amazing time at Miss Moneypenny’s. The staff were so friendly. My partner proposed to me after finishing the 7 course degustation and the staff congratulated us with a cocktail and a shot.

    I was really expecting a lot from this place. The negatives: Super slow service to start with. From waiting over 10 minutes to be asked for a drink to the 15 minutes to actually get the drinks. Wasn't even that busy. The music was too loud as we had to raise our voices to talk and the first waitress spoke softly and had to repeat herself often. It's a restaurant not a night club. Some smooth jazz or softer music for the background would be nice Once we got passed that, everything was great. The 2nd waiter was superb and very attentive. So now the food: It was amazing. Loved every part of it. We need to go back and try more dishes. I can recommend the food and (I wish I got the waiters name) some staff. Were great. For me the atmosphere with the loud music is not for me during dinner. Turn it down. Lighting was a tad dark for my old eyes to read the menu. But that's my issue. For the food, highly recommended

    Wow, the food here is great! The cocktails are omg. To die for! Highly recommend coming to visit this restaurant. The vibe is so moody and beautiful. I love it! Service is average but the place itself makes up for that. Will be back for sure

    Never have I ever.. had this level of service, support, enthusiasm, and follow-up! Miss Moneypennys has it nailed! If this wasn't enough, their food, timeliness of delivery, and quality is superb! And then there's the brilliant cocktails! Special occasion? Their function room offers the same excellence in a separate room away from the main restaurant. The Downside was the need for private transport.. so we didn't drink and drive. Then again, SO worth it!

    I visited this restaurant with a group of friends earlier this year, all I can say is we were all absolutely impressed with the meals and we all left feeling very full and satisfied. The swimmer crab pasta was cooked to perfection and was a favourite amongst the group! The service was ok.. our waiter at the time was a little inexperienced and was lacking some knowledge of the menu which is something you wouldn't expect from an establishment like this, needless to say or dining experience was excellent here and I'd recommend this place. Can't wait to go back for that swimmer crab pasta

    My wife and I went for our Anniversary lunch, as we had been recommended. The first obvious thing was unfortunately the 300% mark-up on the drinks which was a shame, but not a deal breaker. We chose the chefs selection, and to be honest, 5 out of 7 dishes were exceptional. The scallops were nice, but would have been better if we could taste them over the additions. The salmon sticks were lovely, just not as exciting (apart from appearance!) as the rest of the meal. The rest of the food was really exceptional. The kind of food you just wish you could eat every day, flavours that you could savour forever. Service was fantastic, thank you all!

    Came from Brisbane just for this restaurant. Honestly, it’s bit under satisfied. First, I have to say: The entree is amazing. Highly recommend! Salmon stick and kingfish tastes amazing. Worth the price. But the main and the sharing plates are really under satisfied. The pizza we ordered is really salty. Unable to have the second bite. Not really worth this price. I would not recommend this pizza at all. Plus, the explanation for it is really not convincing.

    This place is 💣🙌🏼When you step into this place the atmosphere takes you to a different place - lights are dim and moody, background music, open style set up and the service is really awesome! Went on a double date night with friends a tried a few dishes. The signature prawn toast was nice (small pieces) the grilled prawns also pretty good as well as the truffle fries. But the standouts for me were the Squid Ink Tagliatelle I had as my main. OH MY GOSH so tasty, the sauce was not overpowering and the seafood was beautifully soft to eat. Husband had the Wagu and said it was THE best Wagu he has tasted in a long time. He is a big meat eater and picky when it comes to Wagu and we definitely would be back for the amazing quality! The Lamb pizza was also a winner within our group and the cocktails were DIVINE! I shared a bottle of wine and tried the Rose Petal Martini. Sweet and delish. For dessert we tried the Gaytime dessert - talk about bougie 🤣it was good. Enjoyed every part of the dining experience and although it’s quite pricey I would highly recommend this place for special occasions and date nights. Looking forward to coming back for that Pasta! 🤤I’m obsessed. Oh and the waiter dancing us to our table gets extra points for bringing good vibes to the service - LOVE!

    My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner there last night. The guy who serviced us was amazing (sorry I didn’t remember his name). He was looking after the tables indoor on the right hand side. I would definitely come back again.

  • 3/5 Greg M. 7 months ago on Google
    We attended as a very large group (100) on a Monday night. As such, we had a limited menu. The food was ok. But definitely underwhelming in terms of quality and quantity. Perhaps our expectations were a bit high. The markup for bottles of wine raised a few eyebrows. Wait staff were excellent. I would recommend that they do not clear tables when speeches are being made as it is quite distracting. I might go back to try again but not in a large group.

  • 5/5 Nicola S. 6 months ago on Google
    Came here for dinner with my partner for our anniversary & honestly had the most amazing time. The service by our waiter Jatin was amazing with his knowledge of the menu, food suggestions and even he made sure to check for any dietary requirements. The atmosphere was just what you’re looking for, nice lighting with a cool vibe. Our food & cocktails were delicious. This was my second time coming here and my partners first and the service, food and atmosphere makes us want to keep coming back.

    I went here for dinner and it was such a nice and intimate space. The food tasted amazing. Being midweek, it wasn’t so busy so we enjoyed our time there.

  • 5/5 Kathy P. 10 months ago on Google
    Venue was a vibe and service was fab! Only giving a 4/5 for the food because the chocolate mousse wasn’t the best. The rest of the food was amazing!

  • 5/5 Emilie K. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow what a place. The food was amazing, the service was extraordinary and the atmosphere was even better. I want to commend Alfonso for his great service and positive energy

  • 5/5 Miranda K. 11 months ago on Google
    This restaurant NEVER disappoints! Had yet another fantastic lunch here - highlights - squid ink pasta, tuna cones (could be a little bigger!), best oysters I have had in a few years, ditto the Kingfish Cerviche (photo shown), great lamb shoulder pizza - all washed down with a sublime Chablis. On top of all this fabulousness - the service and professionalism of Quentin and Julia was exceptional. Thanks so much and see you soon 😊❤️🍾

  • 5/5 mikey g. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing cocktails and a very chic ambience. you can tell they take a lot of pride to make this a up market experience. the food and cocktails are beautifully presented. But the biggest plus is the friendly and patient staff. i unknowingly brought 2 of the most difficult girls, one in particular was loud and obnoxious and I was amazed how well the flamboyant manager handled her. 5 stars to him alone. next time I'll return with better company I promise. (the one in my photo wasn't the obnoxious one)

  • 5/5 Luke K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a lovely dinner here last night. The waiter Alberto was amazing. He was super friendly and charming. Made out birthday girl feel very special. The food was really good as well. We did order far too much but the highlights were the slow cooked lamb, the fresh bread, the baratta and the fried squid

  • 5/5 Lauren Westerberg (. 10 months ago on Google
    Have been here twice now and must say the food has been awesome! With me particularly being fussy as I’m mostly vegan, they have good vegan options. The pizzas with vegan cheese were so good. I also love the mocktail with homemade gingerbeer. Husband was impressive too. Can be more expensive than most places but the customer service is amazing too!

  • 5/5 Amy Rixon N. 11 months ago on Google
    Service was excellent, they even gave my partner a complimentary dessert for his birthday. All the dishes were the of great quality. This was a return visit and the fish pie was still one of our top dishes.

  • 3/5 Cass M. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is awesome. Great to see people who are happy at work. Very welcoming. The menu appeared slightly overpriced on first glance however when the food arrived the penny dropped at just how over priced it is. As meat lovers we did chuckle at the $57 steak when it arrived. Fortunately our waiter had told us upfront that it would be a good idea to order sides as the meals were small. Whilst there is evident some of the pricing due to the large, beautiful venue and quality food options. There is an unnecessary level of ingredient fusion taking away from some of the main ingredient flavour. The photo below with the addition of four drinks came to $250 with a 17.5% public holiday surcharge.

  • 5/5 Aus.welecome 1 year ago on Google
    We visit here for our anniversary. We took a 7course chef’s signature menu. About food, want give 4stars. Because i am not big eater though, I was still hungry after 7course dishes. Another reason was food come in one dishes and have to share for two people course course?? Even main meal? Received 7courses, however felt like received 4courses food, dishes did not consist of any carb. This is why i was still hungry. Friendly waitress staff make service high! This is why I leave 5stars.

    We had a very enjoyable bottomless brunch here, chefs signature tasting menu and we upgraded to the cocktails Food was excellent, so delicious All of the cocktails were really great and overall was very good value for money Great service too!!

  • 4/5 Ruby J. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here during our stay in Broadbeach. We had a fantastic meal. I had the lamb pizza and my boyfriend had the Gold Coast barramundi. Both were suburb. We also had the wagyu beef for entree and the truffle chips which were very tasty.
