So, I had to trust my navigation system to find this place, feels like you are driving through shipyards and marine supplies stores (and you are), but then all of a sudden at the waters edge you find Gods gift to those seeking the perfect breakfast location. Service was brilliant, location was excellent and food was extraordinary. To say I will be back for more is an understatement... I can't wait to do it again. This is one of those cafes that you are in 2 minds about reviewing... you don't want to say how good it really is, because you want to keep it special for yourself. But it deserves to be shared and appreciated by all. Very special place. ENJOY (you know I did).

Had breakfast here yesterday. Found this place by mistake and so glad we did. Located at the back of the boat yard, this place is really lovely. Breakfast was top notch, well presented and very tasty. Great views of the harbour. Excellent service and coffee was great. We’ll definitely be neck for another breakfast, but we’re also keen to come back and try the dinner menus.

Very friendly service from the moment I entered. Complete table service which is great. Not a very large place, but they did have a constant stream of customers while I was there, although was never completely full. If you enjoy a waterview surrounded by large & expensive yachts this is definitely the place to go, however I think the location also adds to higher end pricing. The food & coffee is worth the money though. Was a little difficult to work out where it was, but I think that is because I'm new to the area, google did provide decent directions. Asked for recommendations, waitress recommended the sweet potato hash. I'm not a huge fan of sweet potato but decided to give it a go. Was very tasty & a decent serving size. And presentation was very visually appealing.

As the other reviews say, this one's a little hidden gem! Just when you think your GPS has it wrong (& you can get there by boat or other vehicle!), there it is. Welcoming staff, friendly and professional. A pity we were there for breakfast, the cocktail list and bar look great, I could imagine having several relaxing cocktails whilst looking out to the water! A great place for a lazy brunch and a time out from the every day, together with great food!

First time having dinner there. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Checked on us a few times asking for feedback. Cocktails tasted really good. Among all the food, chips let us done. Not sure what happened but they were dry and we had to give up.

Sit by the water with views over the boats, fresh air and comfortable surrounds. The menu is innovative, fresh and has temptations all across its pages. So much to try! Perfectly cooked meals (thank you, chefs!) and great wine. The moment we entered we felt welcome. The wonderful Alisha (hopefully spelt correctly) was beyond helpful, courteous and is a real asset to the business. Simply outstanding. Alisha, you truly made our experience at Quarterdeck shine. Thank you.

I have been sitting on writing this review for a week now, caught in a quandary on how to be fair. I have been reading some of the other reviews and am agreeant with most of what has been written (whether it be negative or positive). I have seen the comments from the owner encouraging ratings of 5 stars and eagerly trying to rectify wrongs of mistakes. Coutos to them for making the effort. 3 means "It's OK"... 4 is "I liked it"...and 5 is "I loved it". I guess for me on this my second visit, I so badly wanted to have the experience I had when visiting previously, where I did love it. That is why you return to cafes/restaurants after all. I want to be fair...so I will keep to the facts. We went for a Saturday morning breakfast. The location is great. Quiet little place on the waterfront. I could see that it might not be so quiet though if the slipway and boat cleaning was in full swing. If it is, be prepared for some noise and the possibility of cleaning residues to potentially splatter your vehicle. Greeting was pleasant and friendly, but make a booking or it can make you feel like you are an intrusion rather than a guest (just a little at least). Food options are good, something for everyone and have some really interesting items to choose from, which I appreciate. There are your standard, but there are also a few off the wall items which are interesting and well worth a look. Price is reasonable or just to the higher side of reasonable. Food is fresh and really well presented. There is cracked pepper and sea salt in little bowls on the table which you will need as the food can be a little flavourless (this is not just my opinion as the people behind me also "ASKED" for some condements to enhance the flavour of their food). Everything was pleasant enough. I guess for me one of the downsides is being forced to give a tip. I mean seriously. If you pay by card, your transaction will not complete unless you have chosen a percentage to tip. I tapped my card (expecting to walk away) and then was asked to make a choice on a percentage of cost as a tip .... I'm sorry, what???!!! Tips have always been voluntary and you shouldn't have to be forced to give (or make a decision to give) a tip. Peer pressure is a thing. My suggestion is get it right the first time and people will willingly pay for good food, good service and want to come back. This is what has taken the shine off what I would have liked... As apposed to what was just ok. Taste your food before it leaves the kitchen to ensure the flavour is right, don't make the customer feel like an intrusion when they don't have a booking (and there was only one reserved table anyway???), and don't force people to pay for something you need to earn through exceptional service and great tasting food. Previously "Loved it" and wanted to come back.... This time "it was OK" and I'm not sure of a return. Make your own mind up though guys, but be advised (not warned... Because I would never "force you" to make the choice ... It is voluntary after all... Unlike the tips).

Hidden gem, Mediterranean tapas style food. Cocktails were delicious a must visit place with beautiful views over the waterways with a stunning sunset, I visited for dinner and would come back again.

Great food. Portions are a lot larger than expected. Will definitely be back. Sitting in the sun on a cool day was nice. Recommend

We went there for an early Father’s Day for my dad and were somewhat disappointed. The young lady who was waiting our table was lovely and very apologetic. My sisters steak had a hair in it and was sent back and they were making another one but we waited for over 20 mins and it still wasn’t served so we ended up leaving. The prices were rather high. On a good note the grilled fish and beef burger (eaten by other family members) were delicious and the young waitress was lovely.

Even though I nearly ruined the night before it even started by putting on the booking form that it was our first visit. Upon arriving the amazing staff member started to launch into the welcome spiel as it was our first time. I frantically tried to distract him, only to be interrupted by my girlfriend of nearly two years that this was actually our second visit and this was where we had our first dinner date. Silence... Crickets chirping Fortunately the staff member quickly salvaged the night and turned it all around into a friendly joke and we laughed. (Whew!!) Anyways, as you can tell the staff are awesome, accommodating and attentive and friendly. The décor is nothing too fancy that would do nothing but distract you from the food. Now the food. Well it was all amazing and absolutely delicious. The crayfish, tasty, very tasty, fresh and full of flavour. The swordfish ceviche was divine and the interesting combo of passionfruit really cut through the tartness of the lemon. Allowing you to fully appreciate the swordfish and other ingredients. I ordered another dish it was that good. The pork belly was mouth watering and melted in your mouth, topped of with near perfectly cooked crackling. The crème Brule, words cannot do justice except for mmmmmmmm creme brulee, gaaaarrrrrrrrrrr. All in all a great dining experience and most certainly a place I will never forget again.

Starting with the positive, the food was excellent. Unfortunately, the dinner time servings are very small and the prices are very high. They are attempting to provide a tapas style experience but at premium restaurant prices. Service is slow and not well managed.

What a hidden gem! Service was amazing and the meal was incredible. The staff made my client’s (aged care) outing special, it made his day. He might not remember this tomorrow but it will always be in my thoughts. Once again, thank you for the amazing afternoon.

Great location on the water. Had a Tapas share lunch of prawns, calamari, pork belly and chips. Friendly staff and great service.

Great service and food. So glad we found you. We will definitely be back.

Amazing place, the food and service are second to none. A little hard to find but worth looking for. It's definitely a place we will visit regularly.

Very nice and friendly staff. It also has an elegant environment and a good dining vibe. I especially like its semi private location.

Amazing food and excellent service. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again.

Great food and views, awesome coffee with a wide range of alternative milks. Fantastic service!

Another great GESARA Lobstr community breakfast for 40 enthusiastic people involved in the Biblical wealth transference.

A little pushy on the sharing food option but otherwise a good experience.

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, great coffee and the staff were just beautiful. Congratulations Quarterdeck Kitchen and Bar, what an awesome job you do, we'll be back for sure!

Great food.

Stopped in for impromptu breakfast. Found the entire experience quite enjoyable.

If you want the best decaf coffee in a town, please come and get it here. Foods are lovely all and nice service, kind crew in there. Also the nice river view is additional benefit.

Liked the atmosphere, peaceful with good view on the water and boats, the staff was very welcoming and my choice of breakfast was just yum. Will go back to try dinner but mostly to see the reflexion of the moon on the water. I find that very relaxing!

What a magic dining experience. Valentine’s night dinner. Beautifully presented 5 course meal with paired wines, all of which were delicious. We were greeted by the staff with a glass of bubbles and seated overlooking the marina and river. Magic! The staff were amazingly attentive and helpful and the food was too class. Will definitely be returning! A fabulous dining experience

Lovely peaceful place - dockside with fantastic food and great views. None of our group was disappointed by the food or the service. Always a great place to enjoy food with friends or family.

Loved it - I'm a Big coffee lover & my little one loves her babychinos. Our drinks very perfectly made and served. The scenery was well worth the drive. The service was exceptional this morning. Our mini breakfast was good. I felt relaxed, the little one was happy to eat out here and we enjoyed a short walk after on the marina looking at the fish and grassy lands. Definitely worth a coffee date if nothing else :) Thanks guys for today! We needed it.

The Quarterdeck Kitchen + Bar is a hidden gem that I stumbled upon during our last visit. We went there for breakfast and was blown away by their excellent service. The staff was friendly. As I enjoyed the marina view (water side cafe), I ordered a meal and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. They also had a great range of cocktails that complemented my meal perfectly. The prices were very reasonable, and the generous portion size of the food impressed me. The ambiance of the place was so quiet and serene, making it perfect for a relaxing breakfast experience. Overall, the Quarterdeck Kitchen + Bar is the best brunch place to have with your partner on your special day. Highly recommend!

We all very much enjoyed our lunch. The menu was interesting and everything was delicious. The venue is great with super views of the waterways and boats/ships. The prices were pleasantly not too much and the staff were polite and efficient. There was a lot to recommend Quarterdeck Kitchen.

Great food ,great staff, and a great setting for meals. We arrived without a reservation and would have missed out on a great weekend brunch. They had colouring pencils for kids too, always a bonus when the LO needs to be occupied so you can enjoy your meal.

This. Came highly recommended, and following the reviews, it really was a nice experience! The Restaurant was very busy, we had to wait for around 30 minutes to get our food. My partner requested for sugar to go with the tea that was never brought! The team seamed overwhelmed. The ambience and the quality of food was worth the wait but! Highly recommend this place.

Quarterdeck Kitchen is an enjoyable restaurant located in the peaceful setting of the Gold Coast City Marina. The stunning waterfront view of the Coomera River creates a relaxing ambiance that you won't experience anywhere else. Upon arrival, the staff warmly welcomes you and provides excellent service throughout your visit. The menu consists of delightful sharing plates that showcase the flavors of the Middle East, paired with an impressive selection of local beers and cocktails. I highly recommend visiting Quarterdeck Kitchen, whether you're a local or just visiting the Gold Coast. You're guaranteed a lovely experience with a beautiful view of the waterfront.

Everything on the menu is appealing. I usually decide very quickly what I want to eat. Was not the case here ! My choices at the end were delicious 😋 I had the French toast and the avocado bruschetta, both were colourful and presented nicely. Location is stunning and the staff are welcoming. Was the perfect bday breakfast!

Quarterdeck Kitchen + Bar provides an exquisite dining experience, and my recent visit left me thoroughly impressed. The Eggs Benedict I ordered was nothing short of perfection – the poached eggs were impeccably cooked with velvety yolks that oozed richness, and the hollandaise sauce had just the right balance of creaminess and tanginess. The tasty bread served as a sturdy base, completing a delightful symphony of flavors. What truly elevated the morning indulgence was the high-quality coffee served at Quarterdeck. From the first sip, it was evident that they take pride in sourcing premium beans. The aromatic brew boasted a robust flavor profile, leaving a lasting impression that complemented the breakfast fare splendidly. Equally commendable was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. The atmosphere exuded a welcoming charm, and the staff's attentiveness added to the overall positive experience. Their genuine smiles and willingness to accommodate requests created an inviting ambiance that enhanced the enjoyment of the meal. Quarterdeck Kitchen + Bar is undoubtedly a gem for those seeking a delectable breakfast. The combination of mouthwatering Eggs Benedict, top-notch coffee, and a staff that radiates hospitality makes it a must-visit destination for culinary enthusiasts. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this establishment guarantees a memorable and delightful start to your day.

Great food and coffee. Staff are super friendly and very competent. Fantastic vista overlooking the water and luxury cruisers. Highly recommended.

Great food, a little tucked away but a nice lunch out

Great coffee!!

As always, great service and fantastic food.

Consistently excellent service and food. Thank you!

Well where to start, we ordered our drinks first, and when we received them the waitress said I didn't get the drink that I ordered, but said she found something similar. She could at least told me it was'nt available then I would of made my own choice of choosing what to have. When are meals were served, they were missing some items, we waited at least 15 mins, then I had to go up and tell the staff we were waiting on more dishes. Portion size I wouldn't recommend for the price you are paying. Went home still hungry. But the food was tasty.

We had the loveliest afternoon. Great cocktails and wonderful food. The pulled duck was an absolute winner.

Quarterdeck is always a great dining experience!

I'm sorry but I found the lunch menu very disappointing. I have had breakfast there many times but not lunch. Needs more variety to suit lunch and the share plate sizes are a joke for the price you charge. Staff are lovely.

Great food and coffee 👍

As it was my first dining experience at this restaurant I must say I had the most wonderful experience there. The young waitress was incredibly welcoming and professional. The food was so delicious and the freshest ingredients I have had at a restaurant for quite a while. The views are spectacular yet relaxing. If fact I loved it there so much that I'm taking my husband back there for lunch this weekend.

Great venue, great service and superb food. Would recommend it as the ideal place for family get together or just meeting friends

A hidden gem! My husband and I have lived in the area for 3 years and wish we had known about this place sooner! Amazing location, great service and delicious food! We will definitely be regular customers! 😁

Went there recently with a group of ladies for lunch. Such a great venue. Food was delicious and cannot fault the service. Our waitress Megan was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend it.

Beautiful lunch with my cousin. Staff are so friendly and cheerful. Food is awesome and i will be back for the smoke chicken. This is why I'm getting married there in April. Thank you Quaterdeck. 💐💕

I chose this venue for a lunch with a friend firstly for the reason they were pet friendly and it was situated halfway for us to meet. It was interesting and a beautiful location at the same time being right in the marina. We had our own grassed lounge area that my fur baby could join us and have space to chill. The food was delicious and service was friendly and helpful. I would come here again and recommend if you are a yacht lover.

That you so much for a lovely lunch. Your food and staff were amazing we will definitely be visiting again. Michael Spittle

Beautiful food, great atmosphere, friendly staff

Excellent food. We enjoyed every single bite of the meal. Big Thanks to lovely waitress Megan for a wonderful service. We really enjoyed our time and best test food for ever

Food was good and staff were lovely

Well worth the find. Innovative and fresh menu with amazing views onto the water. Will be back

Amazing food and great service. The smoked brisket was really good.

As usual.........Perfect

Recommend 10 star meal service was so good fantastic experience

Great atmosphere, Lovely staff, Awesome food.

The food was amazing as always. I love the atmosphere of the place it is light and airy and the staff are just so friendly

Delicious food and lovely surroundings. Keep your eyes out for the entry signs before you get to the marina, then head for the back.

Superb meal and wonderful customer service. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic, meals and rinks were to die for and all in such a lovely setting!!

This restaurant/bar is a little hidden treasure located at the back of the Coomera Marina at first you’ll think ahh where am I, it’s in a very random location. Great spot over looking the water and a bunch of super yachts I could never afford. The outside is dog friendly. Service was great we had a lovely girl looking after us. The food - We ordered two eggs Benedict and as you can see in the photos I’ve attached the presentation was fabulous tasted as good as it looked (some bits of the bacon were a bit hard but happy to look past that as we had a enjoyable time and all and all the meal was tasty) Espresso Martini’s were easy to drink and well made (well balanced) The have a intriguing cocktail list wouldn’t mind coming back and trying a few. Prices are a little expensive but so far from what I’ve experienced at this venue it’s worth the price

Its Megan's fault that we keep coming back. Thank you very much for finding her.

One of Gold Coasts best ! We love it .

Fantastic service and delicious food every time

Great date night!! Friendly attentive staff! Superb food. Really excellent Tapas selection!! Highly recommend and will go again, so much we didn’t get to try on the menu.
