“Great atmosphere, food and service.....loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

I met a girlfriend for dinner in Main Beach Wed 8th Feb and we walked Tedder Avenue looking at menus. When we arrived at Domanis we knew this was where we wanted to eat, it was a little busier than the other and the menu grabbed us. We started with the parmesan piiza bread and it was delicious, no entrees for us we went straight onto mains. Our mains where a good portion size, seasoned well and delicious, we then shared a cheesecake and had coffee. The wine was able to be purchased by the glass, which was great as we were both driving. We both commented as we left that we should go back and try it for lunch. I read other reviews about the poor service and I must say the service we received was fantastic, even down to extra cream on the cheesecake we were sharing. Would definately recommend Domanis *****

“The food never disappoints”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Domanis is a great restaurant for either breakfast lunch or dinner. Situated on the corner in Main Beach, you can enjoy the surroundings whilst you eat.

“Appalling service, complemented by the appalling prices”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Normally one would say that they are left speechless by such an abominable experience. But lucky for us, I am a journalist.

This restaurant has got to be one of the worst restaurants on the Gold Coast that I have ever dined at. And I have been coming here every year for 19 years.

The evening began with our waiter 'dumping' us, as he could not put up with the fact that my friend merely requested having an entree as a main, which the manager already allowed for her to do. Prior to this, he was very rude and impatient with us. Considering the ridiculous prices that this restaurant boasted, you would think that the service would at least be somewhat adequate.

After clearing away the joke of a salad served to us as an entree, we caught a glimpse of one of the waitresses gossiping about us to the other staff, accompanied by her pointing at us, and the other wait staff staring.

The mains finally arrived, 45 minutes later, to which my friend was given 4 prawns in her salad, when the manager had informed us that the main comes with 6. The manager was highly unimpressed by her confusion, and stood and glared at us for a solid 5 minutes, making us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome.

And to add a cherry to this delightful experience, the waitstaff took their time clearing away our plates.
Ultimately, the evening was a revolting experience which I would only recommend to those who carry a severe amount of self-loathing.
