Elston Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Gold Coast City

I can't believe a place like this hires wait staff that are just disgustingly rude and aggressive. All was good until we started receiving the drinks we ordered. A young nice guy served our drinks (1 tea, 1 orange juice) and then about 2-3 minutes later a middle aged lady with a pommy accent slammed another orange juice on our table without saying anything and left? So I called out to her while she was abruptly walking off and said ' Sorry this isn't ours we only ordered 1 orange juice not 2' and she rolled her eyes, came back, took the orange juice in a big hurry without saying 1 word to us once again. Once we received our food, the table water we ordered still had not came. We finished eating and water STILL had not come. Mind you the Danish fetta in my meal was as salty as the beach water across the road and I was parched at this point. I got up, went inside the cafe and asked to get my own table water when they told me 'It's super busy, we will bring it'. When the guy finally brought out our water, he apologised and was kind. Two minutes later, once again the rude lady came out and dumped another bottle of table water on our table and we said sorry we already have table water (right in front of her face) AND at this point she had the audacity to say to us 'It's only free' ????? Like wow, seriously get some manners and learn to speak to people politely . A good attitude and kindness is also free! To top all of this off, when we went to pay they tried to charge us for 2 orange juices when we only ordered 1. Be aware and dine somewhere else people! Enjoy the 1...

Booked a large table for Seafire at 6:30pm for 7 people. Upon arriving the staff were all over the show and the manager looked stressed. There was a large group in front of us without a booking asking for a table. The waiter checked with the manager and gave them the table which was clearly reserved for us as there was no other available tables for a large group at the time. Speaking to the manager he was clearly stressed and had no idea what was going on, he couldn’t find our booking and scrambled around to put a table together for us and we ended up seating 7 people around a very small high table that was only intended for 4.

Going to the counter to order the server after taking our order said we only had an hour and half for the table meaning we would miss the fireworks which was why we booked the table in the first place. We said we weren’t told that prior to booking and she told us to take it up with the manager.

The food was absolutely disgusting I wouldn’t give it to my dog, the chicken wings on the bar menu were cold and drowning in bbq sauce and the other off the main menu was clearly cooked well prior and recooked but very dry and again cold. We were served wine with glasses with lipstick all over them and my rose was warm.

This restaurant used to be one of the best on the esplanade not sure what happened but definitely won’t...

this place has the best food i have ever eaten. i ordered the tacos for starter and the southern chicken burger for my main. it was so mouth watering i was practically drooling over the plate. the chicken was soaked in butter before served which make it so smooth and it fell apart in my mouth so nicely. the bun was toasted to perfection; making it crunchy yet beautiful. the chips still had the potato skin which i absolutely loved, they were fresh and crunchy, with some still floppy. the best of both worlds. don’t get me started on these tacos!!!!! the pulled pork was sensational, made to perfection. the perfect amount of topping we’re wrapped up in the soft shell, making it the perfect little bite sized starter. you definitely get your moneys worth with this place, the serving sizes were huge. as much as i wanted to continue eating; i was so full. the atmosphere and view was extraordinary, with the restaurant located right on the beach, yet out of the way from the busy noise of cavill. the service was great, with the man working spending extra time with us going over his recommendations and the way things are cooked to make the meal just that extra yummy. if heaven was a restaurant, it...
