Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Gold Coast Hotel & Casino

We had such a fabulous time! Food was great, our waiter was awesome, and drinks were delish! The French Onion Soup was the best I have ever had, the escargot was amazing! I had a French martini which I enjoyed so much. I had their signature chicken dish that was cooked perfectly, my husband had their steak and frites which was delicious as welll;) Definitely will be going back

Bryant elevated the experience with his stories. The food was incredible and the the drinks were superb. Didn’t have space for dessert but it truly is a great experience.

Got possessed by a craving for the octopus dish I had seen another order on my last visit, so booked dinner. Sat at the bar per usual and tried all new menu items to me. Drink- •How 'bout Them Apples ($17): Fresh-from-the tree sour apple, sharp and earthy. Wonderfully evocative creation from Guillermo (Tito). •Kaiju Amiga ($15): Very balanced between nutty sweetness and tang. •Clearly ($16): Like being on a breezy Caribbean beach, sunny, salty, citrusy. •Desparada "Saturn Return" 2022 Red Blend ($20): Very good pour. Food- Foie Gras ($25): Several-forkfuls portion of the rich fatty organ, accompanied by a thin eggroll spear. Very nutty, sweet, and crisp. Spanish Octopus ($24): About 10 octopus chunks, nicely charred outside the tender meat. Plentiful firm risotto grains, al dente and mildly salty (squid ink). Listed with a fire symbol on the menu; accurate. Chili quite prominent, asked for some bread ($2) to absorb and deaden some of the heat. Spiced and spicy. Value: Most excellent for the alcohol. Undecided about the food; liked what I had, still feeling the heat. Atmosphere: Surprisingly quiet at first, but noise level rose to its usual loud magnitude as the customers poured in. Service: Exceptional and attentive!

Esther’s never disappoints. Great business lunch spot. Attentive staff, great drinks and food! Not my first visit and won’t be my last!

The remodelling of the restaurant has created a lighter and more open environment; the food as usual was juicy and flavorful and the service very good .. we highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who enjoys spit fired meat! .. Yum Yum!!
