- JJuliaGold Coast •3 reviews5.0Dined on 11 Sept 2026Absolutely Wonderful Dining Experience at Grantz Dining Room ! Booked Friday lunch for 2 based on the appealing menu. Not only does the Menu sound great, but the food is Truly Exceptional ! In fact I would call it Cuisine, not food, as each dish is so masterfully crafted and presented. Sophisticated, complex, refined flavours, but also hearty and satisfying at the same time. We shared the Aburi Salmon. and Tempura Slipper Lobster for entrees, the latter in particular had us both in raptures from the first taste. Truly Superb. My friend ordered the Wagyu Beef Cheeks for main which she loved. I ordered the King Prawn Gnocchi, which was indescribably delicious !! Paired with a Lemon Meringue inspired Cocktail which complemented my seafood based dishes perfectly. My only regret was that I didn't leave room for dessert ! The restaurant is spacious but still cosy and intimate. Velvet banquette seating and a classy live singer adding a special touch. Staff and Service were spot on, and the warm, personal welcome from Chef Grant and Front of House partner, Ant, elevated the whole experience to EXCEPTIONAL ! I cannot wait to return to Grantz Dining Room. Can Highly Recommend It.More infoGrantz Dining Room$$$$• Modern Australian• Southport•4.5
