    A Mother's Day date to savour. It was our first Mother's Day and the ambience and service is outstanding. No long wait for meals and non intrusive service. At one point, our waitress came upon a table conversation and joined in the banter which for us, was golden. Our food came out at appropriate intervals without feeling rushed or neglected and the meals are well presented and generous. We wanted to come back and management acquiesced, so that's something

    The service was second to none. Our table staff were wonderful and we were visited by the chef and manager as well. The high tea menu had an abundance of exquisite cakes but there were no hot savouries to make you desire the sweets. It did need that balance. The bunny cocktail was very indulgent and fun. A great Easter experience overall and glad we attended.

    Last night, all levels of staff from the car-park attendant to waiters/chef were helpful, courteous, experienced ... made us very welcomed. Main waitress was super attentive & knowledgable eg noticed from a distance that our son's steak was slightly over-done. Immediately offered to have it replaced. Friendly chef Ben offered us his new creation ie miso salmon to try. Returned at the end to seek our feedback … listened intently … with a great attitude. Overall ambience much improved: quieter, less congested since before Covid. Quick & efficient service. Over past 3 decades, we frequented Marriott Brisbane & Gold Coast for F&B, conference or recreational stays. We had membership cards (along with other friends; last week a friend bought Marriott timeshare) … due to their convenient locations, fabulous premises, facilities & well trained, friendly staff and services. In fact, we booked to return to Motion Dining with our accountant & wife in a fortnight's time. A wider/seasonal range of mains, perhaps with weekend or occasions special menus will see us return again & again! Both our sons grew up accustomed to the high standards and fine qualities on offer. Our family & many local & overseas' guests have always enjoyed dining at these restaurants. Well done & keep it up!!

    A great venue, always a pleasure to visit; we are regulars and are always made welcome; the only problem is when booking via the open table, you do not get the option of adding your member number and thus miss out on the member discount, the staff are always wonderful, and they go beyond their call of duty to make us welcome each time, it was our sons birthday, and we were really well looked after

    My family and I had a great Christmas lunch. What impressed us most besides the food, was the staff. So very helpful. Especially a woman called, Stella. She was so kind and helpful. My only complaint is the lack of a disabled toilet on the same floor as the dinning room. I had to go up 2 floors to the closest one. That really isn't acceptable. Sylvia Wacker.

    Our experience was overall amazing however some feedback is that extra care should be taken with food allergies. I am coeliac and twice I was served gluten which unfortunately left me feeling very unwell. Service was lovely. A little slow processing everyone in the beginning. Very lovely experience overall.

    We were privileged to attend Christmas Luncheon at the Marriott this year. From start to finish the entire experience was first class. Service, wine selection, food pairings, quantity and quality of food and the efficiency of the wait staff to get the food out as quickly as possible was nothing short of perfection. Highly highly recommended.

    13 of my family and I spent a lovely Christmas morning having breakfast at the Marriott. Staff were attentive, food was aplenty. My only concern was accessing food for people with mobility issues. My husband has a back issue and is unable to stand in line for long periods of time. I suppose you could argue that we shouldn’t have chosen buffet, but as it was the Marriott, I didn’t think the line-up would snake almost to the door. Other than that, it was awesome. We got great photos, everyone ate an elegant sufficiency (and then some) and we went on our way to spend a lovely Christmas Day. Thank you so much.

    The Christmas breakfast was oversold and my son and I were put next to the massive buffet line our whole breakfast. Additionally we never got our coffees which is not at all the fault of any of the amazing staff including those who produced amazing food. Alternatively the issue was the hotel not looking after the guests or it’s staff by over selling a restaurant.

    From being greeted by smiling welcoming staff to the moment we left it was a very enjoyable experience. There was a great range of food that catered for every pallet. The buffet included a fridge loaded with dairy products and a fresh make your own juice station. Exceptional value for money.

    Whilst we appreciated the warm and friendly service from the staff, the breakfast Xmas buffet was very disappointing. The menu advertised lamb cutlets but they were more Cunnamulla mutton. The baked beans were straight from a can of Heinz. The only egg option was scrambled despite being advertised as fried and Eggs Benedict options as well. Their grilled Snapper fillets were more like poached and rubbery. We paid $85 per head for a 1.5 hour timeslot however long wait times to enter the restaurant and access buffet areas prevented our party of 9 from enjoying the meal options. We would only rate the coffee and initial welcoming reception at the hotel as good.

    It was a Christmas breakfast but nothing special was done and presented except for a ham added on the menu.. and also we waited for one hour for a coffee that they forgot.. and they keep saying it’s coming.. I know it’s busy but to be fair we asked for the coffee multiple times and we got the same answer that it’s coming..
