Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have enjoyed a lot of seafood platter’s at Yellowfin but tonight the meal for the price was average & attention from the staff was very ordinary. This restaurant seems now to rely on tourists & locals are not really classed as clientele that matter anymore. Really disappointing & I won’t be recommending to family & friends in the future.

Went last Saturday with friends for a birthday dinner. Great menu options available with seafood, ‘from the land’ and pastas/ salad. We had the seafood platter for two it was delicious fresh seafood with great value for money. I highly recommend it. Service was excellent and great atmosphere in the restaurant. We will definitely be returning soon!!

I chose this restaurant for the hot seafood platter and to be honest we were disappointed as it was just average. Live music and 15% discount on food helped improve the score. Unfortunately like most places at present, lack of adequate staff levels is challenging and we were offered incorrect meal and noticed this happened to others too.

I had booked by telephone in advance and a lovely lady took my reservation without problems (I had previously tried to book online but erroneously selected the Brisbane branch of this restaurant "chain"). Anyway, I turned up a little earlier than the agreed time and was warmly welcomed by the same lady who ushered me to a small table for 2 outside. She then hurried to provide me with a nice big bottle of chilled tap water. And that was it. I sat and sat and sat as waiters and waitresses scurried around looking after customers sitting at neighbouring tables. It wasn't as if I was being ignored. I had the impression that I was invisible. After far too long I finally snapped, got up, politely informed the lady who had originally taken my reservation and welcomed me, that I was leaving, and I walked off. Life is too short for that type of "service".

A special night. We dined at Yellowfin for my partner’s birthday and the staff helped make it special. I booked earlier in the day and mentioned that it was my partner’s birthday. They suggested a desert with candle. Two of the staff came out after our main course with the pavlova dessert, candle, happy birthday on the plate and singing happy birthday. It really was a surprise. This was a fitting finish to a delicious meal

I wish we had read the previous review as it's spot on with our experience as well. Restaurant was empty (which I should have paid more attention to) while the one across the road was popular. We have dined at Yellowfin Brisbane several times so thought we would give its Gold Coast sister a try. Service slow to take our order (more important to keep talking to kitchen) although was pleasant and cheerful at all times. Scallops entrees and seafood platter for mains. Scallop entree looked hastily prepared, chorizo bites tough and not a patch on the sister store scallop offering which was presented in shells in our previous experience. Fish appeared stale. Fries overcooked. Sadly not enjoyable at all. Easy underground parking just down the road but I was hoping for some sort of beach side location/view. Instead its situated on an intersection. If in town, try directly across the road, they seemed to be doing a good trade.

My wife and I shared a seafood platter, and we enjoyed it very much. It was grilled or barbecued seafood with rice instead of chips, so it was relatively healthy. It was a good size for two people. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We would eat there again.

At $140 with lobster available as an optional extra, you'd be hard pressed to find a better value seafood platter on the Gold Coast. Huge platter of well-prepared, tasty seafood including natural oysters, two types of prawns, clams, scallops, crab, salt and pepper squid and Moreton Bay bugs. Fast, friendly service too. Highly recommended.

Saturday- The restaurant was very busy. We could not fault the service nor our meals. Everything was so good that we decided to go back 4 days later. Wednesday- The restaurant was very quiet compared to Saturday and different wait staff. Our meals where no where near the standard of Saturday nights nor was the service. there was no consistency in the meals. Two of our party of four ordered the seafood chowder. 1 for an entree and the other for a main. The one for entree came out very watery and bland whilst the one for main was thick, full of flavour and lots of seafood. Had we not gone back for second time I would have given this restaurant a 9/10 but now I can only give it 5/10 for the lack of consistency in both service and the food.

My husband and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary at this restaurant on Valentines Day and overall we were happy with the service and the seafood platter presentation. What we didn’t like was the crab. It presented well, but after doing the usual battle to get some sweet juicy meat, we found that it was dry in the legs and overall tasteless. We had saved it until last, wanting to finish our otherwise lovely meal with the platter’s crowning glory, but it was just disappointing. We asked if it had been frozen and the waiter said he would ask, but then gave no answer when we paid our bill.

We ordered the garden salad w surf n turf ($34) which was a steak on mashed potatoes w 4 prawns and broccolini . It was quite busy on a Saturday night but service was ok and food arrived in a timely manner. A big struggle to find parking on the w end - take it into account when you book .

Stopped here with family for birthday dinner, was absolutely fantastic. Ordered the seafood platter for myself and my son 15yrs, and every thing was perfectly cooked. We struggled to eat it all , but we made sure to as was too good not to. 3 members of the party ordered steak cooked different ways and all said was cooked perfectly. The other kids ordered chicken Parma and they also loked and tasted delicious. Highly recommend this place for a meal.

As a result of reviewing restaurants I received a $50 discount at this venue by The Fork. The venue was Yellowfin which shares the same menu as Sage and is located next door to each other but share the same kitchen. I ordered the 250g Eye Fillet Steak with pepper sauce, which came with broccolini, fat beer batter chips and I paid $7 extra for a calamari topper. Meal was huge of which I struggled to finish. Steak was tender, chips crunchy and calamari tender and vegetable great. Couldn’t fault the meal. Service by the Spanish manager was very attentive. Highly recommended dining venue.

Such potential with great reviews but terribly disappointing. My man and I attended for dinner whilst on holiday in a Tuesday night. We booked a table online after reading great reviews. The restaurant was reasonably busy but not overrun. Maître de was pleasant but not really dressed for her position. Wait staff were not attentive but one was new, her first night. The other waitress was pleasant enough but very abrupt. We were led to our table, provided with water and menus and left alone. We had to ask for a pre-dinner drink. We had to ask to place our meal order. We had to ask them not to serve our main while we were still eating our entree. We were not asked if we wanted anything after we finished our wine - dessert, coffee, liqueur?? Our entrees were okay - Mr had scallops which were fair; I had calamari which was quite nice. Mains were fish and chips with a side of rocket salad. The fish was dry, the batter was soft and heavy rather than crisp and light. Chips were very ordinary similar to frozen chips. I’m sure they would like to be paid but why did we have to chase the wait staff to do so ? This is not a restaurant we would recommend when there are so many great choices.

An amazing dining experience. We visited for lunch, my wife ordered the fish special and I ordered the fish and chips. (Barramundi). Both meals were cooked to perfection, so delicious and enjoyable, and large! Great value and superb eating. Totally recommend!
