Asian-inspired hidden bar Eddy + Wolff brings sophisticated sips and barbecued bar snacks to Robina

20 Mar 2019

When we first got word that a new 22-seat Asian-style dining den was coming to an 'undisclosed' Gold Coast location, our minds, by force of habit, pictured somewhere along the coastal strip. Just a few weeks ago, the suspense lifted a little when the owners of the elusive venue, named Eddy + Wolff, announced its home would be in the backstreets of Robina. The new hidden dining gem will be unveiled to the public on Wednesday March 27, proving that it's not always about beach views and passing traffic – it's what's on the inside that counts. more

For more than 30 years, resort-dwellers and seafood lovers have been indulging in some of life's finest at Sheraton Grand Mirage's Oyster Bar.

While it has continued to operate relatively under the radar over the years, 2019 was time for it to be transformed into Oyster Bar & Grill –  and while there's still degree of decadence, it's about more than just oysters and champagne now. more
