Rick Shores

We really enjoyed our visit. The view is definitely the standout feature and makes for a beautiful dining experience. The tuna tataki was good, although the tuna was cut a little thicker than I prefer for a tataki, and it was a very generous portion—which is not usually something I’d complain about! The chicken karaage was absolutely amazing and easily our favourite dish of the night. The duck curry was delicious, especially paired with the rice, but unfortunately the roti was over-charred and wasn’t enjoyable. The semifreddo wasn’t for me, and I found the portion quite small. Overall, the service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional throughout. I’d happily return and would recommend it to others, though it’s definitely on the pricier side. One small touch that would have made the experience even more memorable would have been some form of birthday acknowledgment, such as a small dessert, palate cleanser, or celebratory shot. At this price point, those thoughtful gestures can really elevate the overall experience. Places seem to keep getting more expensive, but those little thoughts seem to dwindle.

We went to Rick Shores for an early dinner with a group of four and had a really great experience. The location is stunning right on the beach and the overall vibe is relaxed but still feels special. Service was a standout for us. Our server was excellent and guided us really well with ordering, especially around portion sizes, which made a big difference. We ordered a mix of dishes including cured king salmon sashimi, lobster prawn dumplings, Moreton Bay bug roll, garage chicken, and wagyu sirloin, along with a few Long Island iced teas. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and came out at a good pace. What we appreciated most was that the recommendations were spot on we had just the right amount of food, nothing went to waste, and everyone left happy. Overall, great food, great service, and an amazing setting. Would definitely come back.
