    Dear beautiful waiter boy, if I am waiting patiently to be seated where the "please wait to be seated" sign is, your first assumption should not be that I am here for takeaway coffee. Sometimes it can be hard enough going on solo flights; I don't need you to make me feel even more uncomfortable about it. I'm glad we got over that hiccup soon enough, though, because my morning at Ave was otherwise lovely, including the service that followed from all the lovely gents there (including yourself, beautiful waiter boy). My breakfast (thank you for having an all-day breakfast menu! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME!) was ultimately delicious, as avocado on toast should be, and the plentiful drizzling of balsamic made me happy in my heart. True, it was a breakfast that my mum would hate me paying $14 for because it would be easily constructible at home, but here's the thing... I didn't have to go to the effort of constructing it. You did that for me. Plus, it being a quite literal stack, I ALSO got to relish knocking it over. I'd easily pay $14 for that joy again any day. The coffee was nice and smooth, but definitely not strong. I regret not going for a banana smoothie now, having read Teags' review. Plentiful parking onsite but try not to time your visits with those of the gym mum brigade. The park was chockas at 10am on a Wednesday but when I left at 11am there were ample vacant spots, so go figure. Ave have just recently begun doing a dinner shift on Friday and Saturday nights, too, and with their tasty Sicilian-slanted menu, it would definitely be worth checking out.

    Scrumdiddlyicious!!!!! Yes siree Bob, this place is the cats whiskers!!! Have just been blown away by how good this food was. Popped in for breakfast on a weekday and had no problems getting a table at around 8am. I had the 'vege delight' and my friend had the 'winter french toast'. Both meals were exceptional. Filling but not stodgy. I couldn't believe how easily it all went down even though it looked huge on first inspection! Lovely service staff. Friendly and efficient. Comfortable interior. Great coffee and freshly squeezed juices as well. A real treat. We'll definitely be going back for more of this goodness :)

    Brilliant place for breakfast with Lebanese flare. Coffee will please any coffee snob.

    I came here for lunch a few weeks ago with a small group of friends. It was moderately busy but not…read moretoo packed so the atmosphere was great. The service was fairly fast and our waitress really friendly. The lunch menu had a nice range plus some healthy items and some 'Create your own' sandwich options. The food was quite good, not the absolute best but great for a nice lunch. I got a chicken burger with lovely avocado and juicy chicken. Some of my friend got pizzas and I have to say, I can't comment on taste, but they looked really good!

    Roman Empire Bar is one of those restaurants that I've been meaning to go to for a few years but…read morenever got around to it. After a spot of late night Christmas shopping at Carindale last Thursday, it seemed the perfect opportunity to try this popular Italian restaurant. We were happy to wait for a table seeing we hadn't made a booking but I would recommend anyone wanting to try this restaurant to make a reservation. The waitress made it clear that they drew a large crowd even on weeknights. Unfortunately on that night, the food did not live up to its reputation. Our scallop and calamari pasta was bland and had to be spiced up with lots of Tabasco and chilli flakes. The lasagne was average but I suppose I just had higher expectations given the recommendations of the place. Since we've been inundated with different cooking shows on television, the home cook is a lot more adventurous making and tasting food. On the odd occasion, I even make my own pasta and store it in airtight containers. While the Roman Empire Bar probably doesn't beat fresh home-made pasta, it is a decent night out at a fair price.

    I love Pizzaland!…read more Family owned and operated in their 39th year of cheese, sauce and dough. The pizza are very Australian with thick fluffy bases smothered with a slew of ingredients. They offer free garlic, chilli, jalapeños, ginger, BBQ sauce, sweet chill sauce, hot chilli sauce or pizza herbs on any pizza - I love this. Extra chilli and garlic for the win guys! My to-be brother in-law is allergic to dairy & eggs, Pizzaland make him a cheese free pizza without any of the fuss you'd get at other places. Even without cheese the pizza is still tops. My no.1 orders are 'Pizza Orgy' (I guess that's what happens inside your mouth with every bite) and American Deluxe, though I am dying to try The Continental - or to be more honest haven't found anyone to give it a go with me yet - which sports some ye old timey pizza toppers (I'm talking mashed potato and bread n butter cucumbers old timey!). Phone ahead as the pizza's are made to order with a normal wait of 20-25mins. Gluten friendly pizzas also available. Rad!

    Top notch suburban take away pizza joint, it's really local, right down to the fly screen door and…read morethe two silver fox gents behind the laminex counter, they make pizza, they've made pizza for 39 years, they own pizza. They are lovely and efficient and make pizza so good you'll think about it for days after. This place is a real gem, with a diverse but not over whelming menu, old favourites done right and some new ideas like the Continental, bacon, smoked cabana, mashed potato and bread and butter cucumbers, I know right! But it totally works. Try it out. Get a half and half, go on, it's very good. Once the Pizzaland creations l hit my mouth, all memories of insipid, overpriced faux Tandoori 'pizzas' on cardboard from 'gourmet pizza' places were erased from my mind. I will never buy a pizza from a major chain again. I am only interested in pizza from pizza land. Pizzaland is flight of the concords, and I'm Mel. Pizzaland is affordable, tasty, and with very quick take away ordering, this place ticks all the boxes. I love Pizzaland! Get a takeaway pizza and go eat it on roller-skates to impress a boy you like.

    I will admit from the outset Lebanese is not my favourite cuisine but I do love fresh food & good…read moreservice and this joint has both in ABUNDANCE. in fact the service is GREAT. Now lets get the look of the place out of the way. A sparkling clean takeaway with tables. Upmarket kebab shop would about cover it. It also had gas heaters which were welcome. Lastly, but definitely not least, the food was Great with a capital G. Fresh, plentiful & heaps of flavour. The platters large & full of tempting tasties. (We ordered #1 & #7 on the platters menu) Both came with fresh Pita, tabbouli & really good, strong flavoured dips. #1 included a selection of rolls & pastries. #7 was a choice of chicken or lamb. No room for sweets but I was tempted. Next time. And there will be a next time. Will definately go again ... for the SERVICE alone. He was lovely.

    Truly Brisbane's best kept secret!…read more Firstly, this is not a fine dining establishment, it's more like a take away shop with outdoor (street side) seating, but don't let that put you off! The food & service more than makes up for what this place lacks in ambiance. The (who we believe to be) owner is incredibly friendly, patient & helpful, happy to explain each dish and make recommendations. He's also quick with a joke & loves to have a chat, giving excellent personal service. We'd gone here on a Living Social voucher, and were wary as past voucher experiences had been a bit hit & miss. At Ba'Albek however, we were treated the same as all the other diners. The voucher entitled us to the Banquet off the menu, usually reserved for 4 people, a selection of 8 tapas style dishes & 2 meat skewers each, followed by coffee & baklava. To say the food was delicious would be an understatment, it was amazing! The hommus & falafel were the best I've ever eaten, and the rest of the dishes were an impressive assortment of new experiences. So fresh & full of flavour, kudos to the chef. And there was just so much of it, we were willing to forego the coffee & desert, but the owner insisted we take the baklava home & we were so glad he did, it was absolutely divine, melt-in-your-mouth good! Do yourselves a favour, eat here!
