Mietta's Review
Though Oskars hate us saying it, the view is fabulous all the way to the northern end of the coast. On a clear day you can see right to the very tip of the Southport Spit. Mostly a seafood menu, and they have great cocktails too. Excellent venue for functions. Great for lunch on a sunny day or for a romantic dinner on a night with a full moon.

Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2011 Score: 15/20, One Star "This first floor eyrie feels like the Gold Coast's answer to Sydney's Icebergs at Bondi. Here at the furthest edge of Burleigh Beach the panorama - all hard-bodied surfers, white tipped waves and blonde sand is, if anything, better - stretching all the way to the futuristic Gold Coast skyline"

Queensland Food and Wine 2010 Guide Score: 14/20 "Oskars hugs the southern end of Burleigh Beach and seated on the verandah you almost dine alongside surfers, to the sound of crashing waves, enjoying views to the Gold Coast skyline"

Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2009 Queensland Score: 13.5/20 "Oskar's position on the headland overlooking Burleigh Beach is a feast for the senses, with a soundtrack of waves crashing against the shore - a perfect complement to a largely seafood-inspired menu"

Courier Mail food and wine guide Queensland 2008 Score: 12.5/20 "The sight and sound of waves lapping the shore, children playing on the beach, surfers splicing the face of a wave or a silver moon rising over the ocean are all intrinsic to the imagery of this Gold Coast restaurant"

Brisbane News Dining Out Guide 2007 "With the ideal location on one of Australia's best surf beaches and views north to Surfers Paradise, Oskars is the ideal spot to unwind"

Courier-Mail Goodlife Restaurant Guide 2006 "Marty and Mandy Kollrepp must love the view from their office. Their beachfront restaurant hangs out over the sand with waves crashing so close to the timber veranda you can watch the surfers and swimmers. Inside is a contemporary space"

Brisbane News Eating Out Guide 2006 "As the surf rolls in below, nab a table on one of the decks to truly appreciate the ambience of Marty Kollrepp's beachfront restaurant"

Courier-Mail Goodlife Restaurant Guide 05 * "This is a restaurant that is packed to capacity on weekends and with good reason. The deck practically hangs out over the beach with waves crashing so close you can be at one with the surfers while sipping a crisp white and perusing the seafood-based menu."

Gourmet Traveller Australian Restaurant Guide 2005 Best views "You can almost feel the vibration of the waves crashing onto the sand at Oskar's"

Brisbane News Dining Out Guide 2004 "The dining room is cantilevered to give diners views of the breaking waves below, and it's an ideal spot for summer or winter dining. Mains $25-$33."
