Stayed at this hotel and decided to have dinner there after a long work day. We were not disappointed. They were having a set dinner promotion and I started with the mushrooms (baked portobello, swiss brown flan, porcini foam, dressed enoki, white truffle oil & mushrooms essence). This was an excellent meal opener. I went on to the kangaroo eye... More

From the moment we arrived and were taken to our table to the moment we left the staff could not have been more attentive. Something that many other Brisbane restaurants should take note of.

One word sums up the total experience.... SENSATIONAL. I wanted somewhere cosy & intimate, yet classy as well for my 50th birthday celebration, it was all of this plus more. We are from out of town , so all the research was done online. I had to try & satisfy my parents, who had previously owned a restaurant, my sister... More
