Best Romantic Restaurants in South Stradbroke Island

We had such a special experience at Palette. The customer service and attention to detail was exceptional. We selected the tasting menu and each dish was better than the last. We particularly enjoyed the creative interpretation of the artist’s work from the Gold Coast Triennial incorporated into each of the dishes. The Harvey Bay spanner crab with macadamia satay was outstanding. Thank you to the team at Palette for making this a meal to remember.

Everything was wonderful, from the ambiance to the service. However, the only downside was the portion size of the Valentine's special, which didn’t quite meet expectations.

The food was delicious, and the set Valentines menu very well done (perfect amount of food). The live singer really added to the night, making the ambience and vibe really romantic. The service from all staff was also amazing. Will definitely be back!

General Omakase Course. From the cute entry where you have to push a door bell it was an experience like no other on the GC. I was transported back to Tokyo - where I lived for 10 years. The server Mayu was kind and engaging and really a wonderful host as were all the other staff, they gave a genuine warmth and made you feel so special. The Yoyogi Black Beer was smooth and lovely a perfect match with the delectable yakitori that was cooked with art and refinement. Our course started with a clear chicken broth, so cleansing with the smokey charcoal flavour, Each course was delivered in an unhurried yet timely manner, where you could enjoy the experience of dining and conversation. The volume of the food is less than most are accustomed to in Australia but we were so full by the end, and our taste buds were in heaven. It is not about wolfing down a huge meal but enjoying the flavours as they hit you and satisfy you. The sashimi was of the highest quality, the tempura so delicate, the chicken amazing and the salad fresh. The wagyu sandwich was to die for! Thank you for a lovely Valentines Day, definitely an occasion restaurant. Dress to impress, put your phones away (apart from for snapping a few foodie pics) and enjoy each other, and the experience. We loved it!!

The food especially the pizzas and drinks are delicious it never disappoints! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! We will be back for sure.
