You cannot go through life with out experiencing this restaurant. The food is outstanding, fresh with mouth watering flavours I couldn't get enough of. The wait staff are excellent, very attentive & seemed to be always there when we needed them without hovering. Wine selection is great & perfectly accompanied the food.

Excellent food and awesome service as you would expect from Queensland’s no 1 restaurant. The steak special was next level. Wine list also very extensive and interesting.

First time visiting on the recommendation of a friend and we were super impressed! Very cool and moody interior, actually comfortable chairs, gorgeous wine closet and really cool to see the chefs working through the window while we sat and chatted. Alberto was our waiter and he was exceptional. Sweet, charming, explained the greatest hits of the menu and ensured my allergy was on the books and catered for. He wished my partner a happy birthday, was witty and hilarious and worked incredibly hard - as we could see him running around to all his other tables with the same level of care and enthusiasm. Food was next level. My partner got the tasting plate of steaks and was impressed by each and every one. The mushrooms and potato sides were to die for. Cocktails were delicious - summer breeze and purple rain were our poison. And to top it all off - the hot fudge brownie was so decadent and impressive. Alberto even brought out a plate with chocolate writing for my partners birthday with his running joke of it being everyone’s 21st if they were celebrating a birthday. All in all - so glad to have had such a wonderful experience.

We had Sunday high tea. Of our 5, we had a lactose sensitive person and 2x gluten free. With prior warning, the chef was able to accommodate our GF needs and minimise dairy. The teas are tasty, and the mix of flavours in the range of high tea offerings was excellent. Happy customers - 3 boomers 2 Gen X. Thanks.

We had great experience at Coast. The service was impeccable, particular mention to Grainne, who looked after us so well. Nothing was a problem for her or the team. We needed to change tables (which was probably a bit of a pain for them) but they accommodated us perfectly. We had the bottomless lunch and the food was amazing as was the drink selection. Would wholly recommend this venue.
