The 9 course degustation was divine. Best food I have had in a very, very long time. Service was also amazing. Spectacular wine list. Ambience was beautiful. Could not fault a thing about our experience here. We will be back!

Dined here 1 June 2018. We were looked after by the lovely Kirinya. She was a wealth of local knowledge and very honest about what degustation number of courses would work best for us based on what info we gave her. Enjoyed a bottle of Jack n Jill Pinot Noir. Good selection of wines. We were one of 2 couples dining in the restaurant. This was great as it felt very intimate. They paced the courses very well. My husband is a fussy person and he loved it. The lemon, lime and bitters dessert was fabulous. Will definitely be back. Was worried that it wouldn’t be worth it because of some reviews I’d read. My advice is go and find out for yourself because other people’s opinions are just that. All up, hope to be back again when next at the Gold Coast.

Amazing degustation menu offered. Spectacular creation of flavours and textures! Was a most delicious experience! Highly recommend!

The most amazing food we have ever had. We had the 9 course degustation with matched wines. It was insane. Throughly recommended but be warned, it is expensive.

This is an outstanding dining experience. The service is amazing and the food is spectacular. We love trying new restsurants but always come back to Room 81 when on the Gold Coast. A must to dine out here.

Absolutely terrible, we were there 2 hours and our first course took almost 50 minutes. Food was average and cocktails also took forever. Got an extra star as they took one dessert off the price due to the long wait. Won’t be back as cost a lot and was not up to scratch

Poor service from the assistant manager. When we arrived we were greeted by the assistant manager and told they were fully booked and we weren't on his list. We indeed had a booking. He said perhaps you booked the upstairs restaurant. We went up there thinking there was another section of room81, but nope, sent on a wild goose chase. We rang the booking phone line again and they confirmed we definitely had a booking and to go back down there. When we did the assistant manager didnt seem to want to deal with us and basically ignored us. He sent another waiter to seat us eventually after getting off the phone and working out he hadn't downloaded the latest bookings for the evening. They have a thing called computers these days. Seems to be a fundamental essential of taking bookings and offering service. After 15-20 minutes we were expecting him to come to apologise for the incident, but to no avail. He seemed intent on ignoring us for the rest of the evening. We eventually complained to the waitress enough for him to come over and make an apology. Never heard from him again for the rest of the night. We had the 5 course summer meal. Food was ok but not quite upto sofitel standards. They ran out of the duck which seemed to be the signature main dish. The lamb bacon seemed to be over cooked. Overall perhaps the incident at beginning put a dampener on the entire evening. The gave us our drinks complimentray, but we should have gone with our first instinct and got up and left when the manager didnt come to apologise in the beginning. Would not go back there.

Terrible value, had a40 minute wait for food. The next evening I tried the hotels 'bistro on 3' and it was 1000000000 times better

Delightful Experience! If you want to be confident of having a good night resulting from the quality of food, service and ambience, then ROOM 81 is the place to be. Have dined there probably 5-7 times of which each and every time their service and food quality has been flawless! It's really great to know, I have a place to take my friends and family from overseas to and show them a good time without leaving much to chance.
