THREE Stunning Waterfront Venues On The Gold Coast

Located in the luxe Marina Mirage waterfront precinct with iconic views over the marina and Broadwater, the award-winning Glass restaurant by the Gennari Group is elegant and relaxed waterfront dining. Glass is regularly graced by ladies on long lunches, loved up couples on fancy date nights and the slick GC business crowd celebrating million-dollar deals with million-dollar views. The menu is fresh and contemporary with a heavy seafood bias; oysters, 4 different ways, small plates of tempura-battered bugs, grilled scallops and the often-ordered seafood linguine.

Luxurious designer interiors adorn the private dining room, cosy lounge and both indoor and alfresco dining areas. Glass is the one for that special occasion, celebration, private party. Go big, impress your guests, arrive by boat and host your wedding at Glass. In addition to award-winning views, Glass won a Travellers choice award in 2021 from Tripadvisor and was awarded Best Contemporary Australian Restaurant in Queensland and Northern Territory by Restaurant & Catering Queensland.

Situated on the beachfront in Surfers Paradise, within the Soul boardwalk complex, the appropriately named Seascape has more dining and drinking options that you can shake a fish at. Don’t let the location deter you, Seascape is perched well above the hustle and bustle of Surfers Paradise Esplanade. The Restaurant is architecturally designed with floor to ceiling windows for uninterrupted ocean views. The team of passionate chefs at Seascapes Restaurant deliver fresh, consistently high-quality dishes. The largely seafood menu is devoted to fresh, seasonal fish and seafood with a small number of carefully selected meat options. The sommelier-selected wine menu is vast so you will be sure to find the perfect pair for your Pacific Lobster. Book a booth table by the window for the best seat in the house.

The Bistro is located on level 1 with bi-fold windows that show off Surfer’s Paradise Beach in its oh so popular glory. The Bistro is a casual relaxed affair with food designed for sharing along with a cocktail, wine or craft beer from their extensive drink menu. Head to the outdoor balcony alfresco area and sip on the signature house-brewed Seascape Sherry Barrel Aged Negroni. The barrel is aged with sherry for 4 weeks to create rich and oaky flavours. The sherry is then replaced with Campari, Gin, Cinzanno Rosso and orange bitters and aged for a further 3 weeks to create the perfect barrel-aged Negroni. Enough to make any ordinary day extraordinary.

The Bar is perched over the Soul Boardwalk, the Bar is the perfect escape where locals and tourists mingle, people-watch and take in the beach vista. Snack on small bites, sip on crafted cocktails, Australian and imported beers and a high-end selection of wines and spirits.
