Stunning restaurant with great food and atmosphere. Would highly recommend!
Always amazing service, our fave place for seafood. Fresh and delish!
Great food, service also good, one of our favourite restaurants on the Gold Coast
The food was nice, nothing out of the ordinary though. The service was virtually nonexistent other than taking our order and bringing our meal. When we went to leave we waited at the counter for 10 minutes then when no one came we had to hunt someone out to pay the bill.
The price was way too much but the food was not enough.
Service was very slow … drink service was slow …. Food was lovely
Overall a nice night. Table location could have been better (we were in a corner near an exit), but maybe we booked too late (?) Food was very nice, service was very attentive.
Wonderful food. Well done to the kitchen staff. Restaurant has a great environment to enjoy your meal
Great food! Friendly service and very nice Atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Excellent food on offer, attentive service and very friendly staff - we will be back.
Lovely seafood with friendly service, very relaxing, well priced, easy parking
Overall great food but maybe our waiter needs to check every one has there meals as one meal was forgotten. It’s also hot inside - all meals cooked well and all happy at the end of the night!
Great food and ambience. Fantastic value for money. See you again soon.
Beautiful place, friendly staff, lovely menu. Our seat was under the kitchen window so next time I would prefer one of the other beautiful tables by the window however there were two of us and there weren’t too many single tables so I understood. Didn’t take away from the experience. The calamari entree was to die for
Great ambience. Don't get the prawn cocktail- only two prawns but the nz sole was unbelievable
Thank you for a pleasant evening to celebrate my partners birthday we had such a nice time. Definitely will be back
We ordered steak with mushroom cream sauce and steak was average. Sauce was sour and we told waitress. Waitress went to kitchen and asked chef and she came back and she said yes chef did admit it was bit sour when he tasted... ahe asked if we want new sauce but we have eaten already. At least they could have done was to take the cost of sauce off the bill... food is not expensive but quality is what you pay for I think...
Beautifully cooked sole and snapper. Modern light decor. Friendly helpful staff (Sara). Well worth a visit.
Each time we have dined always enjoyable great service excellent very friendly helpful staff.
amazing food and great cocktails, got the moana special (from memory that's what it was called) steak & half lobster, will definately return soon.
Great staff, food, atmosphere! Value for money for sure will return again
Amazing - from the moment we walked in the staff were so accomodating and we had a surprise 70th and they were just great! Such good service

Had the NZ sole which was delicious. Always surprised when it comes to pay the bill how reasonable it is for such a great restaurant.

Sam the waitress is always awesome great food great atmosphere
Great atmosphere. Very busy, lots of people including large groups. Noisy but still managed to have a conversation. Presentation of food was excellent. Excellent flavours. Comprehensive menu covers all choices. Reasonable prices. Glad to see restaurant was busy and is successful.
Amazing food & amazing service! Warm ambiance! Will definitely return with my family!
Lovely food, great service, would go back again another day.
Love the food and the customer service. Will visit again with friends
Great food, great service, courteous staff, overall a very pleasant experience
Meal and service top notch , great wine selection xx
The food is incredible and the service was amazing! We celebrated our anniversary and were surprised with a beautiful anniversary plate with dessert all complimentary and it was such a lovely surprise!
We had the $69 dinner special with LOTS of seafood. It looked amazing but the barramundi in the Tahi and the cheesecake dessert were not what I expected. However the wine (rose), garlic bread, scallops, prawns and salad were great.
When booking I advised it was for our wedding anniversary. They put us at a table with the brightest lights in the middle of all the tables. Felt like we had a spotlight on us. Most restaurants usually book you a corner table for an anniversary and definitely not in the brightest light. We asked to move and luckily moved to a more intimate table without the bright light. Service is very slow. Our waiter was nice but clearly overloaded. We only had one drink each. Would have ordered more but no one comes to the table to take any orders. If you order a set menu they literally just bring it all out and no extra service. No one asks how your meal is either. My scallops were extremely slimy. I could anymore of them, and the starter tasted like the main main meal as well. Thought the seafood would be really good but was a let down. The steak however was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Both desserts were also delicious. Usually they write happy anniversary or have some kind of acknowledgement at any restaurant I’ve been to however they did nothing whatsoever, so not sure why I even mentioned it was our wedding Anniversary when booking. The restaurant itself is beautiful but service and food needs some attention.
It’s a bit fish bowl feeling inside, the service staff were good, but never topped up our wine. The Thai salad I had was disappointing ( cucumber, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and vinaigrette.... doesn’t not make Thai salad! The octopus was perfect. Ceviche was too runny, but presented well. Oysters were fresh and cold.
We had a lovely relaxing evening to celebrate the end of the school year. The food was delicious and mostly reasonably priced. Friendly, attentive staff who went out of their way to fulfil our culinary wishes. The barramundi and vegetables which I had was amazing and the bread was warm and perfectly presented. It was very busy and we did have to wait quite a while for our meal but it was fine. Thank you for a great evening!
Beautiful and great price and even nicer food. Thoroughly recommend.
Definitely delicious food and customer service was 💯 will definitely go back.
Absolutely loved our lunch can't fault Anything, service was amazing, beautiful staff, was so nice to listening to good music while dining in, we will be back forsure.
Family favourite! Great meals, well priced. Perfect spot for a family dinner.
We booked for our next birthday dinner and look forward to coming back
First time at Moana but it will certainly not be our last time! even the roadworks didn't spoil the dining the experience, the food, drinks and service certainly made up for the construction works that's for sure. It's great to see a wonderful restaurant in these challenging times.
Amazing staff and no matter what you order it is great food
Was absolutely wonderful, nice and friendly staff, service was quick and the food and drinks were awesome. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
