Waves Buffet Restaurant

We used to go to Waves regularly for buffets before COVID & they were good. We had breakfast at Waves last week & they only served breakfast with no buffet dinner due to COVID restrictions. Sorry to say it was the worst buffet breakfast that we ever had. I understand it was only $29.50 which was cheaper than most buffet breakfast from other hotels. However, the quality & choice of food were really disappointing. They didn't even have some basic breakfast items e.g. mushroom, grilled tomatoes etc. Eggs were terrible, pastries were cold & hard. The lady who welcomed us into the restaurant was nice ( I think her name was Joyce ), however the other staff especially the male staff was terrible with non existent service. We also had breakfast at the QT Hotel last week & the quality was a lot higher, staff were fantastic & I wouldn't mind paying $10 more for sure. Sorry to say, I will never go to Waves again.

It opened early enough for me to have breakfast and be on my way at 0700 am. The staff were so friendly and helpful that I wish I could go there more often. The food was delicious and the chef was friendly whilst bringing my food to my table. It was a delicious omlette. It was for me the best breakfast buffet on the Gold Coast.

Fantastic seafood buffet. Good variety which included smoked salmon, crab, oyster and Morten bay bugs!!! The seasonal veg soup was amazing. We usually only drink pumpkin soup at buffets but this was similar if not better.

Had a nice meal and it was an enjoyable night. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Selection of food is decent for the price.

Fantastic restaurant. Fresh seafood. The chefs cooking the hot food are 5 star. Brilliant dessert choices. Come soon. Go often. We love it

A reasonable selection of dishes for the weekend seafood buffet. Not many food choices for kids but there is a chocolate fountain for dipping strawberries and marshmallows. Disappointed the crabs were just blue swimmers

OMG one of the best buffets we’ve been to! I write this review after just coming back from there sitting on our hotel couch from being so full. 😆 First of thanks to Matt who took the call for the last minute booking. It was a Sunday night and they were booked out! Great range of seafood on offer - king crab, sand crab, king prawns, oysters, green lip mussels with numerous sauces to go with; quality meats - slow cook lamb shoulder, roast pork, roast beef, etc; decent selection of salads, soup, pasta, pizza; and best of all was dessert which had a wide array of goodies - some we tried were the vanilla brulee, salted caramel popcorn macaron, tiramisu and red velvet gateaux. There was also a chocolate fountain and fruits which we had no more space for lol. And I almost forgot to eat it but the honey truffle chicken was sooooo good!!! Such good value for money with the current winter warmer special which includes a bottle of wine!! 👏🏽 Service was also good- dishes were always taken promptly when finished and there was always someone around when needed. One of the ladies Nicola had a chat to us and she was so lovely trying to chat to our little girl. So glad we ate here for our last dinner of our GC holiday. 👍👍👍👍👍

Had the opportunity to try their buffer breakfast for 2 days. Must day it was a delight. Simple food with great taste. The staff very polite and helpful. From Pancakes with syrups and ice cream to the live omlette section. You will enjoy the variety. Juices and warm beverages are on the house. Plenty of salad to pick from. There are a good variety of eggs from egg benedict to scrambled, poached. Fruits are available too. What Could be improved ➡️ Pastry could be added ➡️ Flavored yogurt must be included My Fav ➡️ Omlette with mushroom and cheese ➡️ Pancakes with maple syrup ➡️ Danish section

Lived up to expectations of a seafood buffet restaurant. As you can see from the photos the variance was abundant and flavourful. Waitress and waitresses were very attentive. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Such a great restaurants with amazing food and friendly staff I love eating here
