Tuesdays are usually unimpressive, with lots of class and a workout of some kind, but not this one!…read more I was lucky enough to enjoy a fancy dinner date with a couple of friends at Moda, a beautiful restaurant located near Eagle Street Pier. We started the night with Mooloolaba Prawns, Half Shell Scallops, and Duck Liver Parfait (in a share plate for two). The prawns weren't extraordinarily impressive, but they were good, though I enjoyed the scallops and duck liver much more. The scallop was tender, but not overcooked, and paired perfectly with the jamon, cauliflower and saffron. My favourite of the three was definitely the duck liver parfait. It was a great flavour with the Pedro Ximinez Jelly, and was probably one of the best liver parfaits I've ever had! I was torn between the Duck Confit Leg (yes, I love duck) and the Beef Cheek, and ended up ordering the latter as a recommendation from our waiter. Naturally, beef cheek is very forgiving, but I actually did enjoy the flavour of the marinade and sauce itself. My biggest complaint was that the meat was way too salty (including the swordfish I had a bite of), which left me thirsty the rest of the night. The horseradish mash was also a great flavour, but also too salty. The swordfish was perfectly done - not overcooked, and crispy on the outside. I was impressed with the mains that night - both with the presentation and the taste. Of course, as with all dinners I have with Jo, we ended with dessert. Between the three of us, we had the Spanish Creme Caramel, Crema Catalana, and Valhrona Chocolate Fondant. I'm not typically the biggest chocolate dessert fan (more of a fruit tart kind of person), but I think the Valhrona chocolate fondant won my heart that night. The orange marmalade ice cream wasn't as orange-y as I had hoped, but the chocolate fondant spoke for itself. It wasn't overly sweet, and was both rich and fluffy at the same time. I also enjoyed the Crema Catalana for the honeycomb and the fruit, but we weren't a fan of the jelly. As a restaurant in Brisbane, Moda has actually impressed me with their food, service, and ambience. The food did take a while to come throughout the night, but to be fair, they were quite busy for a Tuesday night! The chandeliers, pretty plates, space heaters, and Spanish ambience only made me fall in love with this place more.

Exquisite food in a wonderful setting!…read more We came here for a work Christmas party and we were allocated the table right in front of the kitchen. Every dish was a masterpiece - duck liver parfait, fried Jalapeno peppers stuffed with goat's cheese, piquillo peppers stuffed with salted cod and figs wrapped in jamon to start with followed by meltingly tender beef short rib. I chose the berry crumble for dessert which was amazing. The wine was delicious and the service was impeccable. This was a wonderful treat and a fabulous way to celebrate Christmas!!

This place was nearby our accommodation and I fondly remembered my experience at MoVida in…read moreMelbourne so thought I'd give Espana a go. 1. Seared Hervey Bay scallops - nicely seared but the sauce was a little too buttery for my liking 2. Gambaro with chilli and lemon - this was one of the Specials but it was pretty simple. Tiger prawn chargrilled with some chopped chilies and lemon over it 3. Grilled quail with thyme and lemon on a bed of risotto - Shame our quail was over cooked as I was looking forward most to this dish 4. Pratata Brava - potatoes so crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Addictive! Avoid the bar counter seats unless you don't mind smelling like you've just finished a Korean BBQ meal

We had one of those experiences at Espana Tapas Bar. Initially, we were going to have pints and wedges at Broadbeach Tavern but thankfully it was full of loud beach-buff-bog... people... so we sought something a little quieter. A glimpse of Espana across the mall. That'll do. Service was sincerely friendly and knowledgable. The menu was too tempting - we wanted one of everything. We settled on the paprika spiced chicken skewers with mojo verde, slow cooked pork belly with lentils and quince alioli and tortilla with jamon. Exquisite. The wine list is entirely Spanish. The La Tremenda Monastrell (2008) from Alicante. My gosh. Liquorice. Coriander. A dusting of dried summer fruits (cherry and apricot and plum). A seriously beautiful wine that had me in a field tending to my seasonal food forest. Romantic stuff. If you are ever in the area, especially on a quiet Sunday afternoon, check this place out. You will not be disappointed. And do try the La Tremenda Monastrell.

Public might be public enemy #1 for my waistline, but with truffle mac 'n' cheese that good, I'm…read morewilling to risk it. Oozing trendy loft style with a bit of ski château-chic, this swanky bar did nothing but impress from the moment we walked in. The exceptionally friendly staff, creative (and potent) cocktails, gorgeous fit out, and some really swoon-inducing menu items (think: Kentucky Fried Duck and the aforementioned truffle mac 'n' cheese) quickly proved that the substance matched the style. From the samplings I indulged in, I reckon I could have ordered page one of the gorgeous leather bound menu and been continually impressed - it's just a good thing that the menu items are all intended to share as the mysterious three letter menu descriptions piqued all of our foodie fetishes. Can't wait to see more from these guys!

Public continued to woo me with their gin cocktails (try the Space Gin Smash or Public Nuisance) and no one should leave this inner-city dwelling without trying at least a mouthful of their truffle mac 'n' cheese. The space is part city loft, part English manor and to their credit you feel comfortable enough in the high-back wicker "thrones", as I'll call them, to potentially outstay your welcome (not that the wait staff would make you feel that way. To be honest for most of the evening it was list we were talking to an old friend each time the waiter came around.) The menu is designed to be shared and on the night we visited became quite the conversation point between the group. With only three word descriptions your imagination is given permission to run wild as you concoct images of the food you will receive. The KFD (Kentucky Fried Duck) won a lot of admiration as did the simple and rustic baked beans served in a tin. This is one new Brisbane venue that is testament to our city growing up and coming into its own.

Journeys Kitchen & Bar - Scones, jam and cream

This is a great place hidden away in the new GE building up behind Orion. We went for brunch and I…read moredidn't take a good look at the menu as I saw some beautiful looking scones on display up on the counter, so had set my heart on having a Devonshire Tea. I ordered scones, jam and cream and a pot of tea. The scones came out looking absolutely scrumptious and they did taste good too, but I found the amount of jam and cream inadequate. They were happy to give me extra when I asked, but I still found I ran short. I was surprised that I received the scones a few minutes before my pot of tea, as they would normally be served together. My tea was way too strong and bitter, so I suspect that the pot had sat a brewed for a while before it was brought to the table. I didn't request a replacement, so shouldn't complain too much about that. The venue is nice, plenty of tables and a little corner set aside for toddlers. The displays look great and the staff were all pleasant and courteous. I can't give it 4 stars today because of the tea and lack of jam and cream, but I'll certainly go again and I'm sure I will have better luck next time. Actually, maybe it was that the scones were just too large for that amount of jam and cream....

Food seem to be leavig the kitchen at a good pace and all the tables around us were receiving their meals. It has been over an hour now & no one has check our table or our order. So we decided to ask a waitress about the wait. She ask what we ordered blankly, went to kitchen and checked. A different staff member then came over, maybe the supervisor on duty. No apologies or explanations, just ask us what we ordered, with pen and pad ready. I then asked him was the order never placed? He reply there's nothing there and didn't really seemed he cared. We probably would of stayed if the staff were more apologetic or show some sign of customer service. After over an hour wait ; and the staff poor customer service , we ended up leaving , stomach hungry and unhappy. Won't be visiting again.
