I was swaying to the music even before ordering the tapas. This was even before the Sangria! My companions and I had a feast of tapas. Everything was so fresh and well prepared. The mussels were swimming in a bowl of soup that had so much flavour. The crumbed calamari was delicious, so tender. The various green dishes were just cooked adding to the crispness and flavours of healthy foods. Each mouthful brought back those nights of Spanish living. The Sangria was a little light on with the red wine. Maybe they make it lighter for a lunchtime crowd. We were impressed by this Pablo Pablo. Pablo is a little expensive but then again he was authentic.

The tapas were fantastic - the vegetarian stuffed mushrooms are a must have. The only reason I didn't rate this restaurant 5/5 is due to the wait staff being a little slow to take our order.

And not the good kind. I made the trip from Brisbane as I'd heard great reviews so was glad to tick it off my list of must-do's on the GC.

There isn't a parking lot but lots of options for street parking. Upon entering you check in with the host and are escorted to a table. There is tons of seating including an upstairs patio. Now the good stuff - what makes this restaurant stand out? The fact that it is 5 restaurants in 1! Yes you heard that right. In the mood for Italian...they've got that. In the mood for Mexican...they've got that too. Wanting Japanese...yep its there as well. This is like a dream come true for picky and indecisive eaters alike. You are handed a menu with several pages. Each page represents one of the five restaurants with full menus from each. Heres where it gets great - you can order off any menu or even all! For example you can get an appetizer from one, entree from another, side from a different one, and dessert from a new one as well. AMAZING!! Also the waiter/waitress is the one that goes to all the locations to order and bring your food so you just stay seating awaiting the goodness. Now the reason it didnt get 5 stars is because both times I came after I got the food the server basically vanished and I couldnt even get water refills. However for the first half of the meal they have great service. I am already excited for my next visit!

We arrived on a Friday afternoon, took our seats, and after some confusion around table service (it is) ordered coffees, and I took advantage of the all day breakfast menu, and asked for the 'farmer' (poached eggs, rosemary potato hash, bacon and sourdough). The coffees came out first, and were fantastic. Using Brisbane's Cup Coffee beans, they make a great cappuccino. The food was also excellent. The open plan kitchen allows you to watch the chef make your breakfast as you quiet your stomach's rumbling. The eggs were 'just so' and oozed out decadently over the twice cooked bacon. The potato hash wasn't dry, and the rosemary wasn't overpowering. As we left, I grabbed a second coffee, knowing that I was a long way from my next good one. If you're in the area, Blackboard should absolutely be on your to do list.

This was the slowest meal I've had in a long time, to the tune of 2 hours for lunch when it wasn't busy at all. The food itself was good. I had the apple, fennel, and golden raisin slaw as a side, a little mayo heavy but pretty yummy. I actually ate it all and I don't normally eat all of anything. For the main I had the chargrilled chicken burger--pretty good flavors overall. Two of my friends had the pulled pork sandwich, which they liked a lot too. The chips were good, tomato sauce was heavy on the vinegar and light on the sugar, kind of typical of Australia I think. Probably wouldn't go back, but I did enjoy the view.
