Unbelievably good in every way. My partner and I are locals and have endured some pretty average…read more(and that's being generous) dining experiences at Portside. Dinner for two last night; the service was very friendly; we were offered a choice of table and were able to find a quiet romantic corner which was perfect. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and efficient. Oysters were recommended for entrée and they were truly sublime; very, fresh; put me in mind of the oysters I bought when I was last in coffin bay. Juicy, creamy and simply to die for. My partner had the antipasto plate which was full of wonderful treats. Main was the 1KG on the bone fillet steak which we shared; our minds were completely blown; so tender, sweet and tasty. It was served with a variety of sauces and mustards and a collection of veges which all worked together perfectly. We were both lost for words really. The ambience of the place is great; background music/noise not too disturbing and the staff dedicated to make you feel welcome. We are really looking forward to returning and trying some more delicious morsels on the menu.

We had an amazing experience at Belvedere Bar N Grill!…read more We were wandering around Portside wharf one afternoon looking for a meal before our movie session. We looked at the menu at Belvedere Bar N Grill and settled on getting a table. Plenty of gluten free options and plenty of meat for the husband, everything looked the goods! The staff were very polite when they showed us to our table. Unfortunately the views of the river were blocked by some equipment from the cruise ships, but the restaurant is still a beautiful, bright and airy space. I ordered the Berkshire pork belly and the crispy calamari (both entrees) to be served when my husband's steak was served. The wait staff were really great about my being gluten free and told me they would advise the chef and make sure everything was looked after. We enjoyed excellent service with prompt drink orders and the wait wasn't too long for the meals. The atmosphere was lovely despite an extremely noisy table walking in part way through our meals. A man we can only presume was the owner asked us how everything was toward the end of our meals and we both raved. The dishes were fresh and well presented with amazing flavours. Definitely a cut above your normal grill restaurant. Now we have discovered this hidden gem we will definitely be back!

Food = 8.5 Service = 8.5…read moreAtmosphere = 8.0 Located in "Club Pine Rivers" This restaurant/bistro is a hidden gem. My wife and I went there for a steak dinner a few weeks ago and were pleasantly surprised with the place. After being greeted and seated at our table, in our comfortable booth, we were given menus with a smile and then left to decide on our meal. I ordered the T-Bone and my wife had the Prime Rump. Both arrived within 20 minutes , cooked to our preferences ( We were asked by our server when ordering ). with ample baked vegetables and our sauce of choice All I can say is , for what I thought was going to be just OK, I was happily surprised. I will definitely be returning there again Meal Cost for 2 = just over $50.00 Drinks x 4 ( including 2 soft drinks ) = $25 Tip:- We arrived at 5.30pm and still had plenty of room to get a booth to ourselves. It would pay to book in advance if you wanted a booth later in the evening.

A friend and I decided on citron for a week day catch up, I was hopeful after reviewing the menu…read more We both had seafood mains- my serving of barramundi was very generous, with a little extra size in the companion sides, I would have been very happy. My dining companion was delighted in the flavour of her scallops, but a little underwhelmed with the serving portion. We split desserts, a pineapple tart and a sticky black rice. I don't think I'd order the black rice again (the one at my Thai Aucherflower, is pretty hard to beat, and it didn't live up to the regular I'd get in SF), however, the piineapple tart- OMG, phenomenal. It was like a creme brûlée, with a crispy sweet filo pastry shell. The service was impeccable, best I've had in Brisbane since returning. Will return- I'm curious about the rest of their desserts!

Being an old granny, I love nothing more than naps and going out somewhere comfortable on a Friday…read morenight with minimal noise level, no live music and a glass of port. Therefore, you would never see me at Fix Wine bar on a Friday night where their beautifully decked out lounge and restaurant attracts a rowdy mix of after-work crowd and fine diners. However, my girlies and I love coming here on a Wednesday or Thursday night for their $35 Bubbles, Beer and Bugs board OR a Ploughman's platter. The deal is only between 5 -7 pm and with the Ploughman's platter, you get a generous serving of duck liver pate, chicken terrine, venison sausages, cheddar, sour dough - I'm salivating just thinking about it. The bottle of Pebble Bay Pinot Noir which comes with the deal isn't bad either though I'm a Chardonnay girl at heart. Helpful Hints: They have a selection of wines listed as part of their food menu but for wine connoisseurs, there's also a specific wine menu you can ask for at the bar with a much wider and sophisticate selection. Also, be sure to check out their website for special deals on other days of their week. Make sure you keep the noise level down so as to not annoy the old granny in the corner.

You would have thought i ordered the gnocchi myself from the title of this review. But I didn't,…read moreand I wish I had. I managed to steal two succulent, flavorful, soft yet with a bite, pieces of perfectly seasoned gnocchi from my husband's plate. I secretly wish I ordered his dish while I was eating my market fish of the day with linguini. Please do not misunderstand me, my dish was very good, and although the seared piece of fish was supposed to be the star of my dish, the delicate linguini coated with its creamy savory sauce stole the show. We followed up dinner with a latte (sorry but it was lame), and a delicious chocolate praline semifreddo - minus the poached pear because it is not in season, and replaced with a fruit salad. The food was on point, I only wish there was more of it on my plate! Service was very good, the staff seemed to have excellent knowledge of the menu and were exceptionally professional compared to many of the other wait staff I've ran into in Brisbane. The ambiance was inviting with dim lighting, and rich dark walls and chairs contrasted nicely with the white table linens. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Wanting to get away from the general public and still share the same view, I decided at about 5pm…read moreto head to Summit Restaurant with its very own cordoned off part of the mt cootha view. Spectacular at sunset might I add. They have a kids menu (under 12s) for $17.50 which includes a main (chicken/fish/steak/pasta options) and dessert plus a drink and they also have a Sunset menu for adults (entree/main/dessert included) for the fetching price of just under $40. During the day they have a $19.95 lunch menu happening with a choice of 2 courses which I think is fairly reasonable. Book here around sunset, the sunset or normal dinner menu is pretty nice (food is okay) and the view is breathtaking... very romantic for dates, great in the summer evenings for that summer breeze on the balcony and you get to see the sun set close to 7pm. Perfect. Unfortunately we had to wait over an hour for my main and with 2 kids under 5 it was a bit trying. They were apologetic though and didn't charge me for it which I did appreciate. Service was great and everything else was good too, will be back... hopefully I won't have to wait as long next time (the place wasn't even busy). I will give it another go... the crispy skinned barra looks great.

What a beautiful view. The setting makes you think you are about to experience a wonderful evening…read more When the opening hours state until 11:30 PM, this is a ruse. I arrived at 6:30 PM at which time I was told that the restaurant was starting to close because they weren't making much business. Fine, I'll make my dinner quick I think. I ask if I can partake in the fixed set meal for 1. The server was not made aware that that option was only available for 2+ tables. Okay, I will pay extra and still ask for the items I want ala carte. Okay, they are out of the Lagavulin, no problem.. pleas bring me something comparable. No worries. I get my single pour of whiskey after I am halfway through the starter. I will take this moment to state that Briley with a B was very sweet and tried to accommodate, but it seemed that the restaurant could not emulate her service. So, starter was tasty. The broccolini and gnocchi come out and are tasting good. I selected these options because they seemed to pair well with the wagyu that I ordered. I ordered a very tasty pinot that was from Tasmania, Devil's cavern I believe. Making my way through the broccolini, at around 7:30 PM (allegedly 4 hours before closing) I am told that the kitchen cannot serve my steak because the grills are off. Still maintaining my composure on what was supposed to my nicest dinner of my trip, I explain that I simply ordered the gnochii and broccolini to accompany my promised wagyu I offered to pay for the broccolini and asked if the gnocchi to be taken off in exchange for my experience. The 'manager', maybe? Explained that since I had had a portion of the gnocchi that it would remain on my bill. She also seemingly bragged that the beef that i did not have would be taken off. Um.. of course. In short, I showed up 4 hours before closing, the menu had very few thing that were actually able to be ordered. The apology for my experience at the top was barely an apology at all. Briley with a B is going to be an amazing server, hopefully somewhere that has their shit together. I'm going to go back to the city and order street food and get paid more respect than this place. Come for the view, maybe a drink or two, and then go to a real restaurant. Cheers, thanks. This was a 1 star review, bumped it up to a 2 for Briley with a B. A post script, if any blowback falls on Briley with a B. Know you are the one failing, not her.
