So we didn't make a booking, which didn't matter, we rocked up to a rather impressive line at Georges, ultimately expecting not to get a table but the ladies at the front suggested we wait until they had a table available. Within 5 min there was a table available and to be honest I think we got super lucky with what we were given. We were seated on the Balcony overlooking the bridge which was super amazing, with a beautiful view of the river. We had a wonderful host, who was constantly topping up water and asking if we were good. He really was great. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine together while waiting for our meal, my partner ordered the yellow tuna entree and I had the 5 in one entree....
My description comes from my sister's delight at the twinkling fairylights illuminating branches standing sentinel in huge Greek urns throughout this restaurant and creating a magical feeling that our partners also enjoyed. We did queue to get in on a Saturday night and the restaurant does not take bookings. Coming later is good, as by 8:30pm we were one of the few tables still occupied. Much of the restaurant is outside under enormous canopies, so it feels indoors, and right by the water.Now to the seafood, it is fresh and some of it can be seen swimming in tanks near the entrance. Between us we had prawns, fish, oysters, calamari and pork for my sister who does not like seafood but took us...
I'm usually described as a fussy eater but the choice here is great. Friends had the oyster selection to start and were impressed. The lobster main course was divine because it was cooked so well. It melted in your mouth without any chewiness that you sometimes get. The fish of the day was worth having with perfectly done vegetables. The setting was beautiful with views of the bridge and Brisbane at night. Service is attentive and we all came away impressed. Don't miss the opportunity to go.
Eight of us had dinner last Friday and were disappointed with our meals. The entree of garlic prawns had 4 small prawns and minimal garlic. The main course of lightly battered whiting was flavourless. The restaurant was full obviously based on its reputation. Our waitress Claudia was very pleasant. Lobster mornay was advertised as the speciality but we were told they do not offer fresh lobster with lemon.

Went there with my daughter, and as soon as we arrived were treated as royalty. The service was outstanding to say the least. Our food was totally Amazing and so fresh . Great atmosphere, and nothing was a bother to them. I have never before given a tip but I gave one without hesitation. The look on her face and thanks made me feel great. I wish to say a big THANK YOU.
Went to a dinner at Georges at Sanctuary Cove, met up with friends for a dinner evening out. Bit of a line up although had excellent seat by the water and must admit the food was great. Had the share Greek plate between my wife and I, could hardly get through it - kids enjoyed and had a great night. Great location, good food and service.
Great location right on the beach front at Coolangatta . Good range of food for all ages and budget . Alcoholic drinks can make it a tad expensive but the prawns I had with my salad were the freshest and best I 'd had in a very long time.Worth a visit for sure.
Almost walked away based on first impression of harangued maitre d, however as little else in general vicinity decided to stick it out. Pleased we did as the personal service, tasty food, linen table cloth/napkins and general ambience made it worthwhile.

The restaurant was full when the four of us arrived without a reservation, but we were seated shortly after without much of a wait.
