I enjoyed a very pleasant long lunch here with a friend recently, and can't fault the casual elegance that Vie offers. Perched on a simply presented table overlooking the Broadwater, we skipped our way through a leisurely three course lunch, and left very impressed with the food, wine, service and ambience.
With fresh light flavours, and the occasional pleasant surprise, the menu was a testament to local produce. The seared scallops were a stand-out. Whilst limited, the wine list provided some perfect matches with keen assistance from our friendly waiter.
We arrived as stressed out urbanites, and left in virtual sarongs and flip flops. With bling of course. Very Main Beach, and highly recommended.

Went here for my birthday recently. Service was a stand-out, attentive with being obsequious. My dish, grilled reef fish had a wonderfully "fishy" taste too often missing in seafood. Excellent desserts and a good view. Compared to the prices other Gold Coast venues charges, I think the small amount of extra money required of Vie makes it great value.

Vie was a good restaurant - not a standout. For some reason, I had higher expectations than it delivered. I'll go through the good points and the room for improvement below:
Good:
1. The food. The entree of oysters 3 ways was excellent. Extremely fresh and tasy oysters, and flavoursome combinations. The beef fillet main was good (above average, but not a standout), and the pork sirloin was excellent - particularly well matched with the pumpkin and maple puree.
2. The service. The service was friendly and efficient, not much else to say there.
3. The fact that there is a taxi rank right outside the hotel is a plus - the concierge will happily beckon one for you when you're ready to go, and you're out of there in minutes.
Room For Improvement:
1. The ambience. My partner and I went on a Sunday evening. It was cool and dark by the time we got there, and we didn't get one of the few tables along the end of the restaurant - however we were still outside - so the broadwater location was lost on us, and we felt a bit like we were the second class citizens of Palazzo Versace, dumped outside the resort in the dark, back corner.
2. The wine list. It is VERY short, ranging from roughly $70 to $250 (from memory). A few good labels in there, but not a very broad selection at all. There is the option of browsing Palazzo Versace's cellar list - but I don't know why this doesn't form part of the standard wine list to at least demonstrate some depth.
Price:
For my partner and I, a round of pre-dinner drinks, a shared entree, a main each, and bottle of wine, we paid $210 (excl tip). I felt as though I'd eaten at better restaurants for the money. We spent $320 the next night at Absynthe and I felt better about that than I did about $210 at Vie.

Our group of 6 friends from Sydney enjoyed a time on the Gold Coast last weekend, and overall had a fabulous break. Unfortunately, we decided to go to the Palazzo Versace for dessert and coffee on Saturday night. We arrived at approximately 11:00pm, much to our waiter's dismay. We weren't greeted or seated, so we found a table outside beside the pool, as outside was the only option if we wanted to hear what our friends were saying without conversation being drowned out by the music in the hotel's lobby and the hysterical laughter of middle aged women dancing to the same.
Eventually we were given menus, and our orders were taken. Our rude waiter did not smile at any point throughout the evening, nor did he get our order correct. Moreover, when a member of our party asked about non-alcoholic cocktails, all the waiter was willing to offer was a mixed fruit juice of orange and pineapple and was assured this was "all they could do" although the bar was full of exotic fruit, ice and grenadine.
Our chocolate pudding was stone cold, although $18.00 and our short blacks were cold, although $6.00. We would have been much much better off staying where we ate dinner, at a gorgeous Italian restaurant on Hope Island! Never again!

One of the best meals I've eaten out in a long time! My boyfriend and I went here while up the coast, because of the reviews below me and they were right on the spot! I had the salmon, and my boyfriend had the lamb. Both were cooked to perfection, and tasted divine.
We shared the chocolate tart, and it was beautiful. Besides the water being $12 a bottle, we thought everything else was value for money. Service was wonderful, attentive without being overbearing. Wishing this place was in Sydney!!! A must try if you're in the gold coast!

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner here while staying at the Palazzo versace...infact, I would say the meal here was better than the one at Vanita's ...their fine dining restaurant. We started with the Antipasto seafood selection for two and at $42 it was still good value for money....there were three tiers of wonderful seafood and Italian treats.
Hubby had Duck with pasta and I had osso bucco. Dessert was to die for.....they make the best Creme Brulee I have ever eaten. The view of the waterfront was really nice, the bar is excellent. I think the prices are very good for the high standard of food and service they offer at Vie....can't wait to return.

WOW!! I think my partner and I were expecting a flashy restaurant but not necessarily an excellent one. Vie exceeded all of our expectations. It's a lovely setting, we had a table out on the deck with heaters keeping it to a very comfortable temperature.
The food was absolutely exquisite, not one mediocre dish in everything we had. I highly recommend the squid, the lamb and the macadamia tart for dessert. The service was very good, friendly and not over the top, it certainly lives up to the perception one has of Versace. Very good value for money as well, relatively expensive but worth every cent. We will be back every time we come to the Gold Coast!
