    Extremely slow service. Missed my order, made us wait more than 40 minutes for a desert that never came. I had to go check at the counter only to find out the manager that took my order had missed to enter it. He tried to be cool and took the order with his head rather than noting it down. The result is you miss customers orders! And waste their time! Two other tables next to us also had issues that night. One was also a missed order. The other was a duplicate order. If you don't want a bad experience, avoid at all cost. Read the Google reviews, the one stars are there for a good reason. Won't be coming back here for sure.

    For a meal that cost over $200, the service felt more akin to that of a suburban pub or tavern, not the standard we have previously associated with Clifford’s. Over our last few visits, we have noticed a steady decline in service, and it appears that staffing quality has dropped

    What can I say... Clifford's knocked it out of the park again ...our 3rd visit in a week 😊 The service we received from Francisco at the Bar and Simon in the restaurant was amazing 👏 The food was simply delicious 😋 Our only regret was not visiting more during our stay on the Gold Coast A Big Thanks to all, especially Dillon and Simon. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the GC. Garry & Elaine (UK)

    Outstanding food. WOW! We love good food and we stumbled upon Clifford's on a recent holiday to the Gold Coast and ended up eating there twice, because it was so good. We had tapas one night and the banquet another night. Portions were generous and the food was fantastic. We loved the open windows and general vibe of the place too. Thanks so much. It will be our go to restaurant next time we visit the GC.

    Staff were lovely, food was great, table was perfect. Was just a shame the Signature Banquet wasn't available, because my partner and I don't eat seafood, so we couldn't really take advantage of the Valentines Menu. But everything else was great !

    After reading the reviews I was skeptical however the service was on time and frequent and my water glass was always full. Ordered the 400g Rib fillet on the bone Medium however was more a medium well and was a lot smaller than expected for a normal 400g on the bone estimated about 300g with the bone and a little over 200g steak. My partners meal was a good size strip sirloin medium and was also more a medium well to well done. Overall happy with the experience and the open grill of the kitchen and menu makes us want to go back and try the other menu items.
