About Seascape Restaurant & Bar

Set directly above Surfers Paradise Esplanade, Seascape frames crashing surf through an airy, two-level coastal layout. Upstairs leans into refined multi-course dinners and quiet date nights, while the open-air deck downstairs handles chilled margaritas and shared seafood platters without ceremony. Tables fill quickly for front-row views of coastal fireworks and airshows, safely removed from sand and beach traffic. Regulars point to the chargrilled octopus, whole lobster bathed in garlic butter, and sticky date pudding finished with rich caramel sauce.

  • Prime Esplanade Views: Elevated oceanfront views look straight over the surf, setting an unhurried, peaceful backdrop away from crowded footpaths.
  • Coastal Platters: Chilled platters loaded with fresh king prawns and sashimi share the menu with chargrilled lobster and al dente pastas.
  • Dual-Tier Dining: An airy ground-floor bistro with outdoor decking pairs with an upstairs dining room dedicated to multi-course menus.

    We had the lobster and it was delicious. Beautifully cooked with a yummy garlic butter sauce that complimented the lobster perfectly without overpowering it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the bistro and upstairs dining?

The venue operates across two levels: a relaxed downstairs bistro and bar area offering outdoor balcony seating, and an upstairs fine dining restaurant focused on multi-course set menus and tasting experiences.

Should you make a reservation to get an ocean-view table?

Yes, online reservations are accepted for dine-in dining, which is especially recommended if you wish to secure limited beachfront window or balcony tables. Casual walk-ins for drinks at the bar are also accommodated.

What are the seafood portion sizes and sharing options like?

Yes, popular shared options include multi-person seafood platters featuring fresh catches, oysters, and lobster, alongside entrées like chargrilled octopus and king prawns. Individual fish portions on standard mains can run smaller, so sharing platters or selecting multi-course options is common for hungrier appetites.

Can you watch beachfront events and fireworks from the venue?

Seascape provides elevated ocean and foreshore views directly overlooking the beach, offering a clear vantage point away from the sand for events like beachfront fireworks and coastal airshows.
