Rick Shores

Those holding the most fiercely contested reservations on the Goldie know exactly what they’re here for. Rick Shores. Perched directly on the Burleigh sand. Cinematic surf breaks crashing just beyond the glass. Pure coastal chic crossed with high-energy dining. Seafood purists and wine-savvy epicureans universally champion the legendary bug rolls—an absolute non-negotiable order. Thick-cut tuna tataki, vibrant kingfish sashimi splashed with pineapple, and impossibly crisp chicken karaage dominate the tables. Follow the starters with a deeply aromatic duck curry or the Bangalow pork rack dripping in anchovy butter. The floor staff? Razor-sharp—delivering sommelier-level wine matchmaking and effortless charm. Snag a table, order a coastal-inspired cocktail, and let the view do the rest.
