Like the seafood there. Good quality with reasonable price, we will come back. Lovely restaurant

TL; DR The most rude 'service' (more like sarcasm) I have ever received in my entire life at a restaurant. Try at your own risk. We made a booking a week in advance with the 'special occasion: date night' note. On the night, we called the restaurant to inform that we were running 10 minutes late. No problems. When we arrived, there was a queue of people in front of us. Unfortunately it didn't take long for the excitement to turn into a big time disappointment. After a short wait, our turn came. 5 awkward minutes passed by without 'hi' or even an eye contact by the receptionist. She must be reading breaking news on her tablet. Red flag #1. A tall, white and bald wait staff brought us to the table at a corner. When we asked if there was any chance we could move to one of the tables with the water view, we were told they were all taken. Fair enough. When we asked again if we could move to one if it becomes available throughout the night, the waiter told us that we stay at the same table once seated and that is how it works at the restaurant. Shocker. Surprised, I told him that this is the first time I visited a place with such a rule and that it doesn't commonly happen in Melbourne. His reply: 'I was in Melbourne for 15 years' to which I said 'I've been in Melbourne for 20 years'. At this point, I was convinced he was getting emotional. Red flag #2. As he walked off, I followed on and said 'it is alright, I am sure you are trying your best.' to which he whimpers 'and you are not'. Yeah he was pissed and amateur enough he couldn't hide it. Another wait staff, a white lady who seemed pregnant, approached us to pour some tap water. Still trying to comprehend the unreasonable rudeness by the bald waiter, I asked the lady if that is how things work around us. She flat out ignored us and walked away. Must be the wife of the other waiter. Red flag #3. After 3 minutes according to my watch, she walked towards us again. Perhaps she could answer my question I thought to myself. Nope. She just wanted to sell drinks. To be fair, nothing wrong with that, except all of the staff at Omeros seemed to have forgotten they are in the 'hospitality' industry to 'serve' the patrons. At this point I feel sorry for Omeros brothers as a fellow businessman. I just cannot imagine having such staff myself. We informed them that we couldn't find anything to eat and that we were sorry to leave. The bald waiter once again showed a great display of who's the boss by saying 'please don't be sorry, we are thankful.' ... before starting to whimper once again with an inaudible voice criticizing my attitudes. It is possible that we've somehow got under his skin, or that both staff were having a particularly bad night, or perhaps that they were just racists. Who knows. I just wish that others won't have to ruin their nights because of these guys at Omeros. read more

The worst experience ever ruining my mothers birthday , i never complain. but this was beyond rude and ridiculous!!!!! To start, the waiter was so rude ( he had an i dont want to be here. Look on his face ) ... It took 15 mins for the waiter to take our order, then 40 minutes for our food to come and 20 - 40 mins from entree to main. The food was as tuff as a leather boot and smelt like it too ... told the waiter my mother was unable to eat it as it was too tough and hurting her teeth. he did not care one little bit. We saw him walk over to his boss who we saw shrug his sholders and laugh point at us and then the waiter came back with the bill and said I took her meal off cause you didn't like it... ( no apologies, nothing ) My family and i felt so embarrassed. when we booked for dinner, they asked if it was for a special occasion. we said yes, my mothers 60th birthday, and that she was in remission. we want this to be a special night ... when we got there, there was no acknowledgement, nothing at all !!!.. I said, "Why do you ask if it is for a special occasion when you book ... he said!! ( im not even joking ) Well, just in case it is some ones birthday or something, and we can go all out for them... I said, " Yeah, realy ? Because it was my mums 60th Birthday and shes in remission and all we got was, rude service, food that tast like it was made a week ago and being pointed it by your boss," ( do you know how embarrassing that was ) he says "oh" finishes taking payment and walked away laughing !!! I just want to say this was the worst place we have ever been to. And the worst food we have ever eaten. Thanks so much for ruining my mothers special night. read more

Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant - One of our meals, we also had the grilled octopus, the oysters, and the rest of the family ordered what they wanted !!! - Desserts Near Me - Main Beach, QLD

Went here for an early dinner (6 pm) and enjoyed our dining experience greatly. Prices are middle-high range, service and ambience were great. Food was very tasty and served promptly. Our waiter Michael was attentive and provided great service. I started out with a very tasty "Lemon Drop" martini (my spouse had a local wine). We both had fresh fish for our entree (mine was Whiting) and my spouse had Barramundi for her fish. Both were prepared perfectly and were quite tasty. The portion size of the Barramundi was much larger than the Whiting (but Whiting is a relatively small fish). Our first time at this restaurant, will definitely return before we depart Australia. read more

When I told my world traveler uncle that I was going to the Gold Coast, he told me I had to visit the Omeros Bros and order their Morton Bay Bugs. So while we were in town, we called for reservations and showed up and unfortunately, they were out of the bugs. I ordered the prawns instead, which was supposed to come with rice, but they were out of rice too. How can you be out of rice?! Bear ordered the Barramundi, and it was really underwhelming. The prawns were delicious tho, and because they were so good, we mentioned on our way out that we were going to be back in town 4 days later and that we would like to come back. Yes, yes, come back, we will hide some bugs in the back for you so you can have them for sure. 4 days later, we call and they were all booked up and there was absolutely nothing they could do for us. So both encounters were pretty disappointing. I would still recommend going, but call way ahead, ask a lot of questions, and be ready to be a little demanding because they can be all over the place... out of rice ‍ read more

Where have you been all my life OMG a great wine list with reasonable pricing. Love the reds on offer and the food menu did not dissapoint. Two course or three course deal all reasonable. Loved the ambience and the garlic prawns were amazing. A must visit and the 705 takes you to the door. Yummo read more

Some parts of this restaurant were delightful, but i was disgusted by the 'muck and cheese' or whatever it was, i can't believe they would have this as a dish, if you do go, don't get it. i'm doing you a favour. read more

had a super tasty lunch here outside on their deck. i started with the prawn cocktail. i know, it's cheesy, but it was fresh and yummy with cocktail sauce. then we split the crumbed calamari and beer battered scallops - both served with a bit of white rice which i found a little odd. i wasn't overly impressed with the calamari or scallops, they were nice, just not mind blowing. the service was great, attentive without smothering. get them to mix up a cocktail for you, the bartenders are amazing. read more

Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant - view from the outdoor seating area - Desserts Near Me - Main Beach, QLD

The food here is very delicious and I like the menu items. I do feel as if it's a touch overpriced. the food was good, but not amazing. I find it cheap of them to charge for each slice of bread individually. I found our waiter to be snobby but the service was quick which I enjoyed. he had good recommendations on the menu. overall mediocre place, I think some people may be distracted by the view but that was not the case for me. read more

Omeros is definitely one of the best seafood restaurants in Gold Coast. We had mussels, bugs and prawns which were delicious. There's nothing like sitting by the Marina eating delicious food. The staff were accomodating to our special seating needs on a busy night. We'd go back. read more

One of the best restaurants on the Gold Coast!!! Surf and turf is fantastic. Cannot fault any part of the dining experience !! Excellent service by Walter ! read more

Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant - Desserts Near Me - Main Beach, QLD

This restaurant is more interested in volume and throughput than the customer experience.Be careful as to what table you are allocated,we asked for romantic table for two and finished up being seated 4 inches from 4 very loud strangers.Dealt with 4 different waiters,poured my own drinks and waited 20 minutes for bill before settling at entrance Most of the seafood was good esp...oysters and prawns....whiting way over cooked and dry. There are better options nearby read more

We had the $42 - 3 course special and were not disappointed. First class food, attentive service and a great promotional special. Will be back again next time we're on the GC. read more

Came down from Melbourne hearing how wonderful this restaurant was and came out of the experience totally disappointed and regretful. Made a booking for 2 and yet when we got there we had to wait half an hour for a table when I booked for 8pm, got taken to our table and it was placed in the middle of the entrance of the restaurant when they had time to place us somewhere nicer. There were three guys who came in without a booking and yet got a better table than us. Bug was overcooked and service was lacking. The cherry on top was when hours later woke up to food poisoning after eating the garlic prawns. For a restaurant so highly rated, I really expected more and I will never be going back again after the experience I had read more

The set menu was delicious and excellent value at $43.50 ph. Our party of 4 all enjoyed what we had for dinner. Restaurant was busy but the staff handled everything well. Baby octopus entree and barramundi main course were highlights. read more

This is a Gold Coast icon seafood restaurant. Right on the water with great views and atmosphere. I have never had a bad meal. The pan fried snapper is my favourite and always consistently fresh and tasty. A little pricey, but justified by very attentive service from veteran waiters who have been there for ever and high quality food. read more

Booked in for a special evening, we were very excited to dine there. On arrival everything was good and didn't at all look busy, I ordered champagne and a seafood indulgence platter... The service overall was pretty disappointing, one of the waiters didn't know what the dips were on the bread entree we ordered, the seafood was average and quite tasteless & there was bacon in our oysters which wasn't mentioned on the menu. The worst part was after we paid our bill we clearly overheard the waiter say to the receptionist (loud and clear) as he was handing the eftpos machine back over "Ryan's not going to be happy about that". To our understanding he was making a comment about how much we did or did not tip for the evening. Completely unprofessional, rude and disrespectful. Our waiter Ryan was the only good thing about the evening to be honest, he was polite, attentive and very friendly... but everything else.. the food, the management & lack of ambiance & respect was below the standard we were expecting from this restaurant. Huge disappointment! Omeros bro seafood restaurant, you must learn more about customer service. Customers don't just pay for the food, we pay to have a beautiful night and enjoy the experience of fine dining. Don't bother going to this restaurant. read more

Always come here when in town. Service is sometimes hit and miss, but the food is always amazing. Seafood you either get right, or wrong. These guys have gotten it right every time I've been. read more

Can highly recommend this if you want good fish. Snapper, barra grilled are excellent. Snapper fish is wonderful. Always busy. Always excellent. Think of omeros and it makes me think of fresh fish, dining looking at the water. A good restaurant to visit time and time again! read more

This was our favourite restaurant on the Gold Coast since 1996. We have visited Omeros Bros almost monthly, making the 3 hour round trip. We have always found the food, atmosphere and service to be second to none. However, this year we have found that the lunchtime crowd has parents who do not control their children, they run amok and scream and yell. Today, for my husbands birthday, we had children screaming, taking cutlery off other tables and fighting with them, pushing furniture and running around with the bottle holders (stands), while the adults indulged in drinking, taking selfies and photos. The waiters were not attentive, didn't refill water glasses etc. The restaurant was mostly empty, yet they sat us near the chaos. When I asked if we could move, we didn't get an answer! When we paid I told the lady about our experience and she just ignored the situation until I asked her why they didn't do anything- the reply was "yes the waiters and I know about it, but we can't do anything, we are not their parents". It was not until I said that I would be writing a review that she got off her chair and chased after me asking if I wanted to see the Manager. No thanks, I have visited this restaurant several times this year for lunch and this has happened four times, it seems to be a pattern. Has this restaurant any understanding of workplace health and safety? Does this restaurant care about their other paying customers? I am also a business owner and would never allow this to happen in our place of business as it is dangerous and my other customers are VIP- no excuses. Won't be back. read more
