Came for Xmas lunch with our office for the 2nd year in a row. Food was delicious, as per usual. Chef did a great vegan meal for one of our girls. Marnie was great and very friendly - definitely deserves a raise considering how busy and short staffed they were. Definitely recommend. 10/10.

Fantastic asset to the Cove community! My husband and I had a fantastic dinner here and could not fault the food or the service. We were given a level of personalised hospitality from the owner which we haven't experienced since our last 5 star cruise years ago! Delicious fresh produce and a great vibe. We will be back!

I never write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. I love high quality food and restaurants, we travelled the world and dinned in some very fancy places. I myself am a hobby cook. Just out of curiosity I read some of the negative reviews, and I can't understand why people are going to restaurants if they just want to feel up there belly's and leave right away. For me going to a restaurant is an experience, to slow down and take time for having conversations, enjoying a drink, the live music, the food. If you are so in a rush and impatient, don't go to a restaurant, get takeaway, but don

After reading reviews I was quite worried. But gosh these people are wrong. Great food and hustle from the team serving. The food was outstanding!! The wait between meals is standard for the quality your being served and worth the wait. if you want a quick meal go to the pub.
I recommend "trust the chef"

If you're looking for a fine dining 3 course experience I do recommend Artichoke Restaurant & Grill & Cocktail Bar.
Fresh food and ingredients is a must and your choices will cover all fussy pallets with the dishes with that little extra bang.
I cannot conclude this review without mentioning the attentative staff who personalise your experience and strive to meet your expectations.
One negative which earned Artichoke 4 out of 5 stars is when it came to paying the bill. There were a couple of discrepancies, though only minor, should be a much smoother process for rectifying errors whether it

There are no words... I've been from sea to shining sea in the states, the Virgin Islands to Tahiti... from Melbourne to the Gold Coast and this is one of my favorites. The food is phenomenal...but more importantly the staff and chef are family. Don't miss out on this.

An amazing meal. We had the degustation meal with paired wines, and if I could take 1/2 start off for quantity, I would. The food was absolutely delicious, salmon & kingfish, duck, prawn with homemade gnocchi, seafood filled ravioli. But the serving sizes were just to big. If I could respectfully suggest, just a 'tasting' size would do. I was stuffed after 2 1/2 courses.
It was a really busy night, 3 staff were off, but chef and staff did a great job considering

Some of the food and cocktails were absolutely amazing. The staff were friendly and they tried their best to help. Unfortunately, the service was painfully slow (absolutely appalling) but the Art work was fabulous!

Honestly, the food and cocktails were absolutely amazing. The staff were friendly enough. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, the service was painfully slow. I actually felt bad for Jess who seemed like she was carrying the entire front of house by herself.
We waited 45 minutes from entrée to main and over an hour from main to dessert for two people. We sat for an hour with dirty dishes all over our table before they were cleared. By then we just wanted to leave, so had to ask for our bill multiple times and ended up standing at the bar to pay.
They did give us our dessert to go, but unfortunately
