Stairwell Coffee

Coffee shop

👍👍 Small, edgy, charming café that does coffee better than almost all of the big places around Gold Coast. The current cold brew is highly recommended - a Guatemalan single origin rich with earthiness, woodiness, tobacco, and subtle sweetness. Also pictured is their almond croissant. Fantastic find, 10...

Gemellini

Italian restaurant

🫤 I will say this pizza looks absolutely delicious. I was very much looking forward to this pizza on my birthday, unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. The only thing I enjoyed was the prosciutto. Asked the waiter to make sure my pizza could come out a few minutes earlier so it wouldn’t...

Den Devine Restaurant & Music Hall

Restaurant

👍👍 The best atmosphere, the best servers, the best food and the best owners. Den Devine provide a home away from home feel, it’s like I’m back in London and the local music and acoustic player tonight were incredible, as they have been each night I’ve been the past few months. The Santorini meal of mea...

Fig and Frankie's

Tapas bar

🫤 Went to Fig and Frankie's last night for the first time with some friends. The restaurant was beautiful, but unfortunately the food was a huge let down. We were misguided by the photos people had posted in reviews a year ago. These items are no longer on the menu and/or do not appear anywhere near t...

La Jordania Restaurant And Shisha Lounge

Restaurant

😠 I've bought Habib's mix on the weekend. Firstly, they gave me the rice instead of chips even though I did specify I wanted the chips, had to come back to get the chips. Rice tasted strange, overcooked, not fresh and for a very required taste, which is fine, every cuisine has it's own intricate flavo...

Lost Kingdom Nightclub

Disco club

🫤 Went to this club during NYE and let’s just say they miss the expectation by miles, given that people had to purchase tickets from $38 and up to attend. 1. The dj is terrible, the entire night it felt like I was listening to car radio. And he repeated songs constantly. You’d think they try to at lea...

COAST

Steak house

👍👍 My Family and I decided to go here cause we saw they did a Sunday Roast lunch/dinner. To dine a minimum of 2 people to get it. Here's a tip if you take a 3rd person you get 50% more food cause they can't half the 3rd person's meal. Cost was $40 per person which included a house beer or wine and if y...

All-Time Social

Cafe

🫤 Maybe they were just having a bad morning but my simple long black was AWFUL! The lid wasn't on properly and i burnt my thumb. It was way too hot for any coffee even a black one. Which means it was burnt. It was a small when I asked and likely paid for a medium. Not sure if they forgot the sugar or...

La Playa Beach and Eats

👍👍 Excellent food. We were pleasantly surprised with the high quality of food here. Compliments to the chef. Skewers of chicken, morrocan chicken and barramundi were so moist. Great temperature control to deliver such excellent quality. Thank You.
