Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Clifford's Grill & Lounge at voco Hotel Gold Coast offers "great food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff." Renowned for its "awesome" steaks and "fantastic" service, the restaurant provides a delightful dining experience. The "Tomahawk 12/10" and "lamb shoulder was one of the best" are standout dishes. However, service consistency and timely delivery could enhance the overall experience.

    For a meal that cost over $200, the service felt more akin to that of a suburban pub or tavern, not the standard we have previously associated with Clifford’s. Over our last few visits, we have noticed a steady decline in service, and it appears that staffing quality has dropped

    What can I say... Clifford's knocked it out of the park again ...our 3rd visit in a week 😊 The service we received from Francisco at the Bar and Simon in the restaurant was amazing 👏 The food was simply delicious 😋 Our only regret was not visiting more during our stay on the Gold Coast A Big Thanks to all, especially Dillon and Simon. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the GC. Garry & Elaine (UK)

    Staff were lovely, food was great, table was perfect. Was just a shame the Signature Banquet wasn't available, because my partner and I don't eat seafood, so we couldn't really take advantage of the Valentines Menu. But everything else was great !

    After reading the reviews I was skeptical however the service was on time and frequent and my water glass was always full. Ordered the 400g Rib fillet on the bone Medium however was more a medium well and was a lot smaller than expected for a normal 400g on the bone estimated about 300g with the bone and a little over 200g steak. My partners meal was a good size strip sirloin medium and was also more a medium well to well done. Overall happy with the experience and the open grill of the kitchen and menu makes us want to go back and try the other menu items.

    Nice good, lacks atmosphere. The dining area feels void of things... plants, wine racks etc to make it feel like your dining. It was a little stark and plain for us.

    The staff were lovely, but the restaurant was not overly busy and it took approx 50mins for our food to come out lukewarm. Please note that I didn’t flag this with the staff as I was starving so I can’t say how it could have been handled just abit disappointed.

    Love the food(the pork belly is 10/10) expensive but worth it. The dining area with the windows open is lovely as I have only ever seen it shut. The only downfall is your staff need more training with the prices so high.
