What Our Guests Are Saying

“I keep going back to Ports of Call. I like the atmosphere. It’s international, and the owner sits in the window or the bar overseeing everything. That’s unusual and special. Somehow I’m reminded of Rick’s in Casablanca, only there is no gambling in the backroom (I don’t think there is…) One should dress up a bit to eat here, although it’s not required; after all, this is a North Carolina Beach Village. Nevertheless there’s a real element of fine dining here. That’s because the food is not all fried seafood as is common hereabouts.

My wife and I had our anniversary dinner here, and it so happened they were celebrating Bastille Day with some wonderful specials. I had the bouillabaisse and a salad with wasabi dressing. They were lovely, but the most impressive, and this may seem a bit odd, was the bread basket. The bread had a crunch crust and delicate flavor, warm from the oven. A bread lover, I had never had such fresh crispy bread. The service is very good, and the restaurant background music is always international, which adds to the feeling of being abroad.

Oh, have I mentioned that Southport is very nearly on the same latitude as Casablanca, which is 33.5333 degrees N., Southport is 33.9244 degrees N.”

Southport Yacht Club

Ratings and reviews, food and ambience, location and contact.

Just back from a few days on the Gold Coast and after having driven past the SYC numerous times we decided to book for dinner and we were certainly not disappointed. The setting is overlooking the harbour and with the open veranda type setting it... was a nice spot. Wife had steak and I had the swordfish and both were perfectly cooked especially the steak which is not as common as it could. Service is mostly ok with the young team members all seemingly keep to learn from a few experienced colleagues. SYC is not a high class establishment but if you are looking for pleasant meal is nice surrounds you won’t go wrong. More

Service was great- the 3 stars is for the service. Food was ok, but getting a bit pricey for what is essentially upscale pub food. What ruined the night for us was the very loud birthday function next to the restaurant. You cannot run a... function like that and pretend that the restaurant is not going to be affected. It is one or the other and it is greedy to do both. There are many other places that charge the same $$$ without the noise, which is a pity because the views are wonderful. More

Had lunch there with a friend last Sunday whilst I was on the GC...atmosphere is wonderful food was very disappointing and expensive..staff were friendly. ..what ever you do don't have the seafood platter it was $100 and nothing like the platters I have had elsewhere... . cold seafood was soggy and not fresh and cooked seafood tasted like it was cooked in old oil..drinks were good. More

Love the location, water views and the service very friendly. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing ! Lamb salad with pumpkin and Persian feta. It consisted of 4 pieces of left over dry roast lamb, possibly from the day before, 6 small cubes of pumpkin... and 1/2 teaspoon of crumbled feta, mixed lettuce with no dressing. The chef should be embarrassed serving this to customers. Although I’m guessing the person serving these dishes it a cook not a Chef. My husband had the fish and was also not happy. Will be back for drinks & for the views but not the food. We were advised by friends not to go because the food was not up to restaurant standards, we should have listened to them. More

Each year a group of friends gather for a reunion at the Yacht Club. This is the Firth year we have gathered for this event. Unfortunately due to our troubled times our numbers this year were reduced. Each year we have been hesitant in returning... because our experience has been so bad. This year was a repeat of the past, a grossly overpriced menu, expensive beverages and subservient attitude of the “Maître de”. Since we were last there, the place has been redecorated with nice plastic furniture. Unfortunately the attitude of the Maître de hasn’t change with his abrupt and unfriendly attitude. Because of the ridiculous high prices for a club we opted for the daily special (Tuesday) Schnitzel Parmigiana (same special as last year) $15.00 and Seafood Chowder $18.00. The Schnitzel was overfried, fat laden refried chips and a packet salad. To be totally honest the Chowder looked like vomit with corn kernels, frozen prawns and dehydrated mussels in a non descript sauce. The hi light being three slices of Turkish bread. Our friends seemed relatively happy with their meals however were quite distressed at the ridiculous prices of desserts. We’ll definitely going to our local pub next year. So looking forward to service with a smile rather than the scowl of the Maître de!! More

A group of us went to the Southport yacht club for New Years Eve 2019. We found it to be good value, well organised with friendly, helpful staff who worked hard to make sure everyone had a good night. The seafood buffet was lovely, plenty... of food, quickly replenished, fresh and tasty. Dessert was lovely, and drinks were reasonably priced. It was a lovely evening sitting outside on the water and we had great views of the fireworks going off around the Gold Coast. The band playing ABBA and Bee Gees was good, although the small dance floor soon got packed. Thank you all for a memorable evening More

With a warm welcome all I needed was to show my drivers licence to enter this beautifully appointed and positioned club. With a view of countless millions of dollars worth of water craft the club's atmosphere is delightful to say the least. We had lunch... there on Sunday and the meal was absolutely sumptuous! The lamb rump consisted of five half inch thick slices on a bed of chats and baby truss tomatoes... wonderfull! And the pork cutlet was huge and accompanied by chats, pumpkin puree and roast apple... spectacular. All this teamed up with the delightful attention of Robert, our server, who went out of his way to make us feel welcome, special and important. This is an elegant, stylish venue that I recommend to anyone finding themselves in the area. More

Beautiful view but worst experience of canapés we have ever had. Canapés are supposed to be delicious snacks with oysters or salmon or some such delicacy but we were served with dry croquettes filled with plain cooked macaroni not even moistened by cheese sauce and... a shallow bread case containing two small slices of red capsicum which was topped with an equally small slice of dry corned beef. We felt very sorry for our hosts who paid good money to have this disgustingly unpalatable food served. More

We are sorry to hear that you had your experience at our Club was not positive. We appreciate your time and your feedback has been passed to the appropriate department. Thank you and we do hope you visit us again and give us another chance.... More

First time - service good and friendly staff - food very good Seafood chowder for entree will fill you up and the oysters fresh and plump. The linguine and pork chop for mains very good. Definitely going back

While it is a Club, one would expect more than very basic meals. Why do chefs insist on leaving prawn tails on when serving them tossed in a pasta dish and not providing a plate or bowl for the tails? Vegetarian is more than a... can of chic peas emptied into a curry sauce. And canned pineapple with two ultra thin slivers of strawberry just don't make the cut next to a pannacotta. More

Was recommended to us. Very disappointing! Sat on deck area which turned out to be so noisy you couldn't hear the person next to you. Also had a wedding reception going on behind us so amp up the noise factor x 3. The food was... very average, 1 meal out of 6 was passable. Forget it if you have any dietary requirements, nothing on the menu for vegetarians or gluten free. More

Service is always good but the food gets worse as time goes on. This place went from great Restaurant quality food at a great price to Pub/Club quality food well overpriced. A example of poor management with no skills in this field. Shame to see... such a great location go to waste. More

We had dinner here last night and we’re so impressed with your lovely staff. Everyone we dealt with were happy and friendly. Our meals, two steak sandwiches, a lamb rump and a chicken with risotto were all perfect and served piping hot. We would recommend... to all! More

Hi There! Thank you for leaving us such a great review & noticing what a great team we have working for us here! We are pleased to hear you love our recently refurbished Club. Hope to see you back again soon!

Lovely location overlooking the Marina and pleasant waitstaff but forget the food. Take your own.The grilled Barramundi was tasteless and soft,looked boiled.Moreton Bay bug pasta too was over cooked,Salt & Pepper Calamari was edible and the kids steak was like shoe leather,over cooked.Portions were quite... small but not the prices. How does an establishment that serves such below par food survive. More

Sad to see a great venue wasted by over priced and very average quality meals. Eaten there many times over the years but has been in a slow decline. They seem to be more worried about office staff than a good quality Chef. If you... mention anytime about a bad meal on their facebook page they block you from commenting. In fact the Manager actually threatened to bar me from the club for commenting about a Mothers Day fiasco there, which I posted. So much competition around the area. I suggest other venues More
