Shuck - Gold Coast

Came here for a special Mother/Daughter lunch and was absolutely blown away! From the moment walked into Shuck we felt like we were the only customers there

This is a large corner bar slash casual restaurant with loads of breezy Gold Coast style.

This is avoid restaurant serving quality over quantityWell done.

Great seafood in an enchanting environment<br/ <br/ After dining in 'downtown ' Surfers Paradise for a few days I thought I would give Tedder Ave a try as I had heard good things. A walk up and down the strip reading menus and surveying the scene landed me at Shuck Restaurant and Bar.<br/ <br/ I started with a half of a dozen oysters. I wanted to try both the Sydney Rock and Natural Pacific and they were kind enough to serve me three of each. The Pacifics were oyster perfection briny and meaty and tasting fresh from the sea. The Sydneys were not to my taste somewhat flavorless and a bit sweet if anything. To each their own....YMMV.<br/ <br/ I followed them with the Moreton Bay Bug Tempura served in an onion salad with nori and a wasabi sauce. The bugs were fried lusciousness and the salad a tasty crunchy accompaniment. In a perfect world there would have been less sauce (and perhaps more wasabi in the sauce)...but that isn 't really a complaint so much as a note for next time.<br/ <br/ I chose an Ara Chardonnay to accompany my meal. In a perfect world a Chenin Blanc would be offered...but I 've since learned that neither Australia nor New Zealand grows a lot of the grape.<br/ <br/ The atmosphere is fun and open I had an exterior table and watched the world walk by. The service was wonderful.

This place is worth a visit for the garlic prawns alone. They are superb. Chips a must have side to soak up the flavors once the prawns are all gone. Great service and excellent value bottle of wine recommended by staff was perfect compliment to the food.
