Overlooking the water and set in a chic and exciting atmosphere, the gourmet buffet of New Quay International Buffet & Bar is sure to impress.
the cuisines feature an exquisite range of international flavours and is perfect place to enjoy a well earned drink.
Environment: Felt really welcomed like a expensive restaurant with a nice cosy feeling and a nice tea light candle lit when you approach your table. Also they had a nice view of some of the boats at the front of restaurant. The waiters were on the ball taking your plates when your finished. The hot food was served in a updated bain marie look to Foodstar. However the chef that you needed to order your wonton soup or pan fried scallops had his headphones on didn’t look professional doing that.
7.5/10
Food: Well nearly tasting all the hot food there, I was pretty impressed with most of them. some of the standard hot food like fried rice, pasta and veggie dish were standard to the taste buds and required a bit more flavour to my liking. The fried food pan fried scallops & deep fried prawns tasted really good with the sauces they provided ‘forgot the name of that sauce 
‘
However I was not impressed with the mushroom soup as it tasted like packaging mushroom soup with too much water. The fresh seafood was served cold I did not touch cos I’m not a fan of cold prawns and mussel. However what I liked most was the dessert. The cakes they had display, the chocolate fountain and the ice cream was amazing and satisfying. They also had avaliable heaps of wines on the drinks menue to go with the meal and desert.
Here is the link to their menu:

One thing I didn’t like about the bain marie was that it was difficult to open the lid and keep it up with one hand and using then thongs to get the pasta onto the plate without making a mess was a pain.
Main: 6/10
Desert: 8/10
Price: Price was pretty standard for $45 dinner on a Saturday night. To have all you can eat in docklands it was reasonable, otherwise you can you can spend half that amount and go to Foodstar. The price for kids though needs to be looked at again. For 3-10 year olds, it was $31.5 a head. I suggest leaving them home unless you dont feed them for the whole day.
5/10
Location: Extremely easy to find parking as across the road there was a $8 parking all day.
9/10
Overall: All I can say is that they need to work on the hot food just a bit more, but can they can sure satisfy their customers with their desert. I think I ended up eating more desert then the hot food! lol. They also need to work on the price for kids.
Overall: 7.1/10
