Main Wave Restaurant

The service was great, regrettably I can’t recall the name of our waiter but she was young, blonde, very polite and professional.
She managed to sell us on adding a half dozen of the Kilpatrick oysters to our order which were delicious and actually my first time every having an oyster!
We also ordered four entrées to share between the two of us: pork belly squares, duck spring rolls, creamy garlic prawns and the margarita pizza.
Every entrée was absolutely delicious.
Especially the pork belly with it being one of the best pork belly dishes we’ve ever eaten. The garlic prawns were cooked to perfection and the chunky garlic was on point for that dish.
The duck spring rolls were moist and delicious while still being golden and crunchy on the outside complimented by the side of sweet sesame soy sauce.
The margarita pizza was extremely tasty with the perfect thin base.

The restaurant was clearly extremely busy that night as they seemed a little understaffed or weren’t expecting to be as busy as they were. Despite that the service was great and they were very attentive. The food was fresh even though it took longer than usual to get to us but with the ambiance of the restaurant and some good company we really didn’t care, especially after eating the food we would have waited hours more.
Thank you Main Wave! We’ll absolutely be back. :)

Amazing food, amazing service and just an amazing setting. I and my partner will definitely be coming again. Fresh and delicious food, oysters to die for and for my main I had a chicken burger which the cheese & sauces just melted in your mouth with every bite you took.

Love it! Absolutely amazing experience! Food was world class and the service was great!

Cosy ambience with generous meal servings. Beautiful food.

Sunday family lunch
Great food
Excellent service
Good value

Food was good but wrong meal delivered by new waitress. We accepted the mistake as we did not want to wait for a new meal to be produced. Thought a small discount or free dessert might have been offered due to the mistake, but no. Otherwise food and service was good.

We had a delightful mean and were very satisfied with everything. We would have a couple of tiny suggestions. The cob loaf served as an entree was much too big. Half the size would have been quite enough for two people. The pasta dish was delicious. Plenty of Moreton Bay Bug meat. But we commented to the table server that it did not need nearly so much anchovy. Certainly not both anchovy and capers. We would reduce the anchovies because the main point of the dish is the bugs. And on a personal level, I would never serve spaghetti. It is a peculiar invention of the Italians. I always cut mine up into small pieces that can be eaten with a fork. A smaller size of pasta would be excellent. But overall a great dish. And the wine was great. Strongly recommended despite these niggles.

Food was great great portions service was great very attentive felt a bit squashed in. venue was a little bit claustrophobic felt closed in at our table

Truly delicious food. We chose the specials, which looked more interesting than the menu items. The ambience looked nicer outside. We sat inside under quite a chilly aircon outlet. Would definitely go back and strongly recommend it.

Consistently great food and service in a great setting

Absolutely amazing Food 👌
Service was impeccable
No hesitation in recommending this cafe
We attended Lunch on a Sunday with some nice live but unobtrusive music 🎶

Very pleasant restaurant serving high quality traditional dishes.

Amazing food and the service was impeccable, highly recommend

Fantastic food and service. Amy is lovely and a delightful addition to Main Beach. Well worth a visit. Yummy Australian food at its finest.

Delicious!!!

The only quality restaurant in Tedder Ave. Food is fresh and delicious. Lovely restaurant

So disappointed. We had booked for 11:15am and arrived on time. "Sit anywhere"..." That table in the window please"..."Oh no, we have someone coming in." Ok so we chose another. Menus came out after 10 mins. "Oh by the way, you'll have to order immediately, and from the breakfast menu, because the kitchen closes so we can set up for lunch." Taken aback, we thought we might order lunch. No, you can't do that til 12. Ohhhkay, we ordered breakfast. It came, the food was good, but just before 12 they came back. "So sorry but we have to move you, we have a big group coming in here now." Really???? Gobsmacked, we moved, taking tea & coffee orders with. We will never, ever go back. Oh, and as we left, that table in the window was still vacant. Perhaps they were warned. Wish we had been.

The food is amazing, great service & a lovely atmosphere.

Delightful outdoor table on a very pleasant summer evening. Fantastic service, very helpful with meal choices and wine service. Definitely recommend this for both intimate dinner or a larger group

We went to 'Chill' out with friends on a Sunday to celebrate a birthday and discovered a new way to enjoy Main Beach at Wave.. Great service and tasty food along with good company what more is needed?

Absolutely awesome restaurant, best service, great food

Welcoming of our 4yp who has best spag bol ever! When he was fed and happily settled in his pram we thoroughly enjoyed our bottle of presence, culinary delights for entree like lambs brains and the most tender squid ever! Followed up by trout and seafood pasta for main and affagatto to end the night- could have states for hours - the best meal we had on our Gold Coast trip!

Literally metres from our apartment this was a brilliant evening dining outside. Amy our host was super attentive, made us feel really welcome and that nothing was a big deal. The kids even got coloured pencils to draw all over the table which got rolled up and we could take it home. Superb night out.

We arrived early for our reservation. Staff were extremely accommodating. We were seated and presented with the menu. We discussed our specific dietary needs, again we received amazing service. We had a great meal stretching over two hours, food was terrific. And again service was excellent.
Wonderful time over a leisurely lunch.

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Great staff. Nothing not to like.

Great food, they always have good specials they accommodate for children really well and the service is excellent

Excellent food and service. Main Wave has a great atmosphere and is the perfect place to have a relaxing and enjoyable meal with friends. Would be fantastic for a special Birthday or celebration. It's also set in a really nice area where you can watch the world go by as you enjoy the day.

We always enjoy going to Main Wave. The menu is great - the presentation is spot on and the flavours are sensational. The wine list is well thought out to complement the food (so nothing disappointing there) cocktail list is great for special celebrations and the staff are well trained in human contact with their clients - upbeat and extremely professional.
All round a great breakfast, lunch or dinner to be had with your partner or with friends or business associates. "see you ladies again soon"

Most exceptional service and food. An unbelievable experience. Highly recommend.

Good food excellent service together with a very good ambience making it a pleasurable dining experience.

Went here for mothers day breakfast. It wasn't too busy which was nice. There was a slight mix up with our order but that was quickly fixed by the friendly staff.
I had the healthy breakfast and it was really tasty. Only small issue I had was the avocado was a little hard so it wasn't as creamy and tasty as it should have been.
Overall though very nice food and fantastic service.

Good food and good location but slow service. Asked for wine menu and never got it. Took forever to pay. Just no attention from waitress in general.

A very pleasant evening with visiting relatives, one of whom had eaten at Main Wave Restaurant and requested that we do so again

Great spot. Open for all 3 meals each day. Lovely interior seating with linen tablecloths, or great outside seating. Menu has good variety, and waitstaff was excellent. Highly recommend.

Loved it. Always excellent.

Great location, great food and great service.

Can’t fault this place, food is sensational and large servings.
You won’t get better service anywhere on the Gold Coast. Absolutely in the top three restaurants on the Coast.

Absolutely amazing. So happy with the food and service. Ami is an amazing host! Thank you for your hospitality.

Good menu and appreciated the gluten free options. I queried the potato croquettes in terms of being gluten free and the chef came out and said there was a bit of flour in them. My partner had just about finished his meal before I finally got mine.
Staff were helpful and attentive.

The menu had something for everyone. Each person noted the quality of their dishes. Would recommend this resto and will return when next in the area. The service was exceptional.
