I know it's a little late (only 6 months or so!), but I can recommend The Ducks Nuts - Sorrento Shopping Village, about 5 mins from Surfers in a cab. It doesn't look like much but transforms at night with the help of experienced waiters and amazing french twist cuisine.
There are a few nice little places nearby to Surfers but in Surfers itself you won't find much else but food poisoning and a dirty club scene.
Broadbeach is the place to go if you're a foodie, Main Beach has a few little gems, Oskars on the beach at Burleigh is a affirmative for ambience and quality, Labrador, Marina Mirage & Palazzo Versace offer waterside dining if your tastes and budget are a little more extravagant.
All of these places are between 5 - 15 mins away in a cab, however, it is well worth the trip.
