Charlie's Cafe & Bar - Gold Coast

This restaurant is a great place to eat, though it may be a little on the pricey side. However, the quality of the food and atmosphere definitely make it worth it. I would recommend this place for breakfast, as the coffee was delicious and the breakfast offered a good amount of food for a reasonable price.

I came here quite early to get an breakfast before I started my long day of walks to the spit. I ordered some eggs and speck and large cup latte together with a large glass pineapple juice. I was impressed by the attention of the various young ladies who served me and made my visit a warm and friendly. all very nice.

I ordered two meals and two drinks at this restaurant and waited for a long time without any service. A large table next to us arrived, ordered, got their drinks and food, while we continued to wait. When we finally asked a server about our order, they disappeared for 10 minutes without any explanation or apology. This restaurant used to be good, but I will not be returning as there are better and more affordable options out there. Despite the high prices for dishes like eggs benedict at $22 and a simple sandwich at $11, the service was extremely lacking. I will be sure to tell others about the disappointing experience I had at this restaurant.

A group of 5 including 1 child. the usual said to order from app. steak offered choice of the soße no option yet to specify. had to go to choose because waitress could not understand my request. two meals and children who were brought to the table....These were done before other two came. I was on the table. no offer of salt, pfeffer had to ask again, then only paper packages. Overall, eating was hardly edible. the staff is uninterested, never asked how it was eating. no caffe or restaurant glorified fast eating. eat nothing like descriptions or pictures here!

I have been familiar with this place for years and slowly it's getting worse. We thought we would give it another try and this time it confirmed that we are done and will never return, which is a shame because it's a nice location and...kept clean. The steaks this time around were on first attempt undercooked and then came back overcooked. They tasted so bland with no flavor and frypan sizzle on the outside that made them taste like oven cooked roast beef. They use to be a BBQ grill steak up until a few weeks ago so they appear to have gone to a hotplate or frypan and oven so if you are after a nice tasting steak avoid. Staff have a low level of interest (but polite) and it appears to possibly be under new management or ownership so its plummeting faster. We could not finish the meal as it was that bad and we ended up at a fast-food establishment because of time constraints.Avoid.
