What let Cooly SLC down so badly was their service. Very poor. We were greeted at the main door downstairs by a grumpy lady who made a big deal about one of us not having a license. We got upstairs and waited like idiots at a sign that said please wait to be seated. Problem was that it was on a slight angle and the other side said take a seat. Would have been nice if one of the stag that was looking at us in that 5 minutes offered assistance. Ordering was awful. We had to go through 3 separate registers to get different things. It turned out that a crowd in front of me in the queue were at the same table as those behind me. And their system cannot add items to an order so they insisted on serving the 8 people behind me. At this point, I was directed around the other side to another register, but this staff member took the inconvenience out on me- snapping statements and processes. I just wanted to place an order! That same person delivered one of our drinks and shook her head in frustration at my wife because she couldn't take the table number (more items to come). The food came and it looked good. Big portions which is kinda nice seeing the prices are pretty steep. 2 of the service staff were more polite but the rest were rude. No smiles and basic lines like reading a boring script. Quality was average to poor, and portion size does not make up for this. Calamari was OK, but slightly over cooked. My chicken Parmigiana looked very impressive but the ham was only ok, the sauce tasted old or based on a jar mixture but the chicken itself was good. Side of chips were fine but had no edge to set it apart from other parmi dishes. Side salad was not dressed - only a bit of salad cream on the top cucumber. Kids meal was fine but a little overpriced. XXXX gold is $6.05 but $4 across the street. The final kick in the teeth for me was no doggie bag. If you run a place that does large portions, I think the logic is straight forward. Long review I know and if you are still reading, I'll end with this: This place MAY be worth it if you are a club member and dine there regularly. If you are not, it is overpriced and a very poor service experience. If you are at Cooly on holiday, there are a lot of other and better places. read more

This is a fantastic surf club. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. They have the standard fair and they carry all the major brands of beer and wine. The prices are a bit better than the bars and restaurants near by. The views are spectacular, you can't get a much better view of Kirra than from this surf club. They have a keno machine if you like to play the numbers and it is only 5 bucks to join. read more
