    Deer Duck Bistro is a beautiful restaurant with very warm staff. Chairs are comfortable and…read moreinviting, which is good because no matter which menu option you choose, you will be there for a while. We had initially planned for the short course but upon arrival, we decided to jump into the long one with wine pairings. I wish we'd stayed with the short. The food was, well, fairly bland. It was beautifully put together and clearly thought through carefully. The pairings were superb and really well matched with the dishes, but not even one Australian wine in the mix - I suppose I should have realized this would be the case as it is more of a European style restaurant. Unfortunately, the food itself was just super blah. Again, very pretty but just not at all interesting. We left a little too full and fairly sotted. The pours were generous so make sure you don't drive if you plan that option. I wish I could recommend Deer Duck Bistro. They have all of the elements in place. Great service, beautifully appointed space, clearly talented sommelier and obviously skilled kitchen. But the one thing you can't fix is taste. If their taste doesn't match your expectations or your preferences, it just isn't going to be the place for you.

    There's a stretch of Milton Road that is kind of a nothing spot. It isn't Toowong and it isn't…read moreAuchenflower. It's a black spot marked but a row of rather destitute looking empty shopfronts. You've probably driven past in a million times. Surprise! This is where Deer Duck Bistro resides (Side note: they're about to open a tapas bar just 2 doors up which excites me. Perhaps this stretch of Milton Road could actually be resuscitated). Anyway, the fact that Deer Duck exists in this space is kind of fantastic. Walking in the interior is a rich, dark and has a very British "Honey, we've just gotten back from a day of hunting" atmosphere. We dined there on a Friday night and there were only a handful of other diners around us. It was a set menu for $65 and they've now got their liquor license so are able to offer a small selection of beer, wines and spirits. The chap and I enjoyed a stupendously large sharing plate for an entree which was a selection of in-house baked breads, cornichons (I just like saying cornichons), meats, cheese and a delectable smoked artichoke dip. For mains, he had the fettucine with mussels and I opted for the ocean themed fish. I'm not sure what a fish has to do to be ocean themed? Dessert was the stand out for me. The chocolate forrest which is given it's own theatrics with a jar of dry ice and liquid nitrogen and the textured pineapple which is small yet ample with it's syrupy flavours. I enjoyed dining at Deer Duck Bistro and perhaps it was the result of building it up so much in my mind (It had been on my "To Dine" list for almost a year), that I just felt a little underwhelmed. There was nothing at all wrong with our dinner or experience, but it just didn't live up to my own expectations. Deer Duck Bistro is wonderful though, and the service was exceptional - we never wanted for anything. It is more of a special occasion dining experience, but I'll be back soon. There's something about it that makes you forget you're dining in Brisbane.

    Not a bad spot for a bite of lunch if I say so. I ordered the chicken Maryland which was spiced and…read moresmoked in chipotle bbq sauce and this was delicious. If you order this dish please remember it's smoked so it will be pink inside. Entwined that as staff were telling me that many people tell them my chicken is not cooked. (Suggestion: Maybe stating this on the menu will help people with this issue). Service was friendly and this restaurant is part of the accommodation though it is open to the public for all meals. Nothing really stood out for me and it's very quiet and relaxing spot though was a bit hard to find as its tucked away in a corner located among shops and offices set back from the road. Not sure if I'd go back though it was pleasant enough.

    We had heard a lot about BLVD, so we were quite keen to try them. We were a bit surprised when we…read morearrived, as we were expecting a sort of on-trend American diner sort of atmosphere, but instead it was a very classy (if not generic) restaurant in the Springfield Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and we ordered one of the BBQ platters with pork ribs, chicken Maryland, coleslaw and chips to take away. The food was good, although we weren't as blown away by it as we had hoped after reading previous reviews. It could be that our expectations were set too high, or perhaps it was because the food wasn't as fresh and hot by the time we got home. Either way, we still enjoyed it.
