The ribs were perfectly fall off the bone done and just the right amount of sauce. The full rack was on a bed of fries and fresh slaw on the top. Very well balanced and delicious The pizza was hot and fresh with loads of cheese. Very tasty and although not NY style yummy nonetheless. Service was great and the ambiance was good. Slow season but still good crowds for a Monday. Had a good promo if you use yelp and check in and they already had a good special for pizza and pasta. Would come again to try the rice dish for lunch!

Some of the items were great like the calamari and the chicken wings, however the others did not impress me. They were very bland and could have definitely used some more seasoning. Most of the items on the menu seemed pricey so I would have expected better quality throughout. However maybe there will be improvements with the new hotel rebranding.

We visited for both breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, we ordered the BLAT, which is a bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato sandwich, which came with hash brown cakes. It was very good.

While I'm not a vegetarian, as you'll see if you keep reading this review, I enjoy vegetarian dishes and felt this was a breath of fresh air compared to most vegetarian burgers are either mushroom or veggie. My partner got the Depot Burger which had so much on it he couldn't even finish. The next time we went with another couple, and I had the Coney Island hot dog. For whatever reason cheese sauce is hard to come by in Australia, so having this chili and cheese dog was great. The Brooklyn Depot definitely lived up to its "American street food" motto. On a side note, I ordered my French fries with a side of ranch, and the American server asked me where I was from. When I replied that I'm from Michigan, she said only people from the States order ranch with their fries, and we commiserated about our shared love of ranch. Haha. She also didn't charge me for the ranch. Love this place. The only somewhat negative thing I'll say is they don't take reservations, and we had to wait almost a half an hour to get seated. But the food is worth the wait. Wish they had more beers on tap but considering they just opened, hopefully maybe in the future that will change.

The service was good and the waitresses were really attentive but I think for the price it was a massive let down. The miso soup was good. The beef tataki was prepared earlier and my partner said it had a roast beef taste to it. The edges were cooked but raw in the middle and cold. Fridge cold. We shared the prawn and vegetable gyoza which tasted like the pastry was stale or suffered some serious freezer burn before being fried. The inside was a bit mushy. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't good had no crunch or crispy to it. I had the Teppan which is tofu and vegetables in a sizzling plate. It came out sizzling and 2 of the tofu pieces were soft and nice and the other 2 were a bit hard and dense. Flavour was acceptable. Way too much onion and not enough other vegetables. My partner had the teriyaki chicken which had large chunks of chicken.. cooked well enough.. the pieces were large so there wasn't enough marinade to go and it was more chicken to marinade ratio... Both our rices came out tepid almost cold instead of hot so I don't think it was fresh. Some of the rice chunks were hard. I think especially at any kind of Asian restaurant. The one thing that should be excellent is the rice and it wasn't. Actually that's probably a good way to describe the evening... it just felt not fresh and I think for a $70 dinner for two, no drinks. The meals should be at least that. We didn't order from the train just the set menus. I definitely won't be coming back and if you come from Melbourne where the Jap food is pretty much always good and at this price point great... be prepared to be let down!

When we made our way to Gold Coast we thought why not spoil ourselves at a buffet. This spot got near any Australian thing you can think of and then some for breakfast. Whether it's Ceres, yogurt and pastries or fruit with meat and carbs you got it here. The juice/coffee bar was a nice touch as well and we spent our time not piling on our plates and eating trying every one of their juices and coffee on offer. I do wish I had room for more pastry but we ran out of time. For the price of 50 aud I'd easily come back with the boiz for a nice breakfast. And definitely if we stay longer than the day try the dinner!
