Great team in the kitchen. All food was outstanding especially the roasted potatoes. Saturday night and whole restaurant was full. More than 200 customers at the same time. Well done Team. I had dinner there last year and didn't like it, but tonight is Amazing. No windows open so felt stuffy after 2 hours.

We just had a brilliant time at The Tropic today! With its excellent view, the atmosphere is simply perfect. Seriously, our waitress Marsi was absolutely exceptional—the best service we've had in ages. She was attentive, super friendly, and made the experience perfect. The manager, Rama, is clearly wonderful and runs a fantastic venue. If you're on the Gold Coast, this place is a must. Great atmosphere and even better service!

A Sunset Feast at The Tropic – Gold Coast Must-Try 🌅🍴 The Tropic is one of those iconic Gold Coast restaurants that locals and visitors alike seem to rave about—and now I understand why. With so many glowing recommendations online, we made sure not to miss it during our trip. We arrived around 4:30 PM for an early dinner, perfectly timed to enjoy the breathtaking sunset views. And the scenery is absolutely unbeatable. The service was just as impressive. Every staff member greeted us with warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm, making us feel like we were truly on holiday. The relaxed yet attentive atmosphere added so much to the experience. We ordered their specials of the day: a vibrant beetroot salad, half a dozen fresh oysters, delicate fish carpaccios and a rich duck meat pasta and with Tiramisu.Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor—fresh, balanced, and satisfying.

One of the best birthday lunches I have ever had (& I've had a few!). We could not have had a better table which was out of the wind but allowed us to enjoy the brilliant winter sunshine & water, the waitress could not have done any more for us (attentive, without being over the top) & the food was delicious. We will definitely be back & we did manage to convince (didn't take much!!) one of our friends who joined us for a drink, that next time she is down the coast, she is going to book a table at the Tropic. Can't wait to go back. Thank you to the Tropic.

Fantastic experience having lunch at The Tropic. Atmosphere is great - open with picture perfect views. Service was attentive without feeling intrusive. Food was the highlight. We had small share plates, and just about everything was excellent: Special of the day was spanner crab, and it was just about the freshest crab I've ever had. Kingfish carpaccio was fresh, with a dill oil and curry dressing that was perfectly balanced. The broccolini side was perfect - I'd order this every time. The beef tartare was the only dish that dipped below excellent. It was fine, but the cut was uneven on the beef, and the flavour was just ok. Overall a great experience, we'll definitely be back.
