Amazing spot just below the Goodwill Bridge, Stokehouse offers unspolit views of the river and Brisbane City. I cannot fault the food, it was fresh and good quality produce served in non-pretentious portion sizes. I especially loved my appetizer, the Crudo and my Pork Belly mains was just delish! The wine list caters for a range of tastes and affordability. Service was friendly but at times a little slow, especially at the end of the meal waiting for the bill. Certainly worth a visit for a special occassion. read more

Stokehouse - Crudo - Seafood Near Me - Brisbane, QLD

Whenever I see the term "Modern Australian" being used to describe a restaurant I often tune out. (The definition sounds too vague and bland for me to feel foodie excitement.) Happily I pricked my ears when I heard about the Stokehouse. Having heard reviews and stories about this Melbourne institution (It's been open there for over 20 years!) I was excited to see this place assimilate into the Brisbane scene. Like it's neighbour The Jetty, Stokehouse offers some of the best and beautiful views of the Brisbane river. (It is stupidly gorgeous at night.) This place was pretty full when we arrived, but the service staff were super nice and managed to squeeze us all in. But for all its grandeur and charm, I was really disappointed with the price to serving size ratio. (I know fine dining calls for multiple courses but $35 for some barebones tortellini is ridiculous.) If you want fine dining with a view (and can afford it) The stokehouse is still worth a visit. read more

Mothers day lunch. We had a 2pm sitting didn't actually get seated till near 3. Given the table was reset by 2:15 (we could see it), I suspect we either got forgotten or it might have been a kitchen thing. In any case can not blame sitting before, so maybe a little customer love with around if drinks might have in order. No major, but just a little annoying. Anyway, once seated service was great and food delicious. Entree - Duck and fennel sausage with Brussel sprouts and fettuccine. Well, if they had kept filling plate I'd still be there ad the size of a house, ok a much larger house. Main - pork belly with prunes and cauliflower. Good without being great, little fat good skin not crispy enough, bad, good flavours, entree better. Desert - ok went the boring cheese, so have to comment on daughters bombe, delicious, not too sweet fruit driven huge what more do you want read more

Stokehouse - Desert - Seafood Near Me - Brisbane, QLD

After wandering along Brisbane's Southbank and viewing a couple of menus, we settled on the Stokehouse for a quiet mid-week dinner. Having entered at the bar end of the restaurant, we were passed between about 4 different staff members before needing to go back to the bar while they set up our table, but they did this quickly and the manager's service was excellent. In fact, the service throughout the evening was fantastic - different staff members knew which of us had ordered each dish or drink, and we were well attended to. The wine list is extensive and the glass of Shiraz I chose was lovely. The manager recommended Australian gin for my sister, which also went down well. For my starter I chose the fried mozzarella with tomato chutney - it was good, although the sauce was a little thick. For my main I had goats Brie with vegetables - again, it was good but there was something a little odd about eating cheese with carrots and popped rice. It was tasty, but perhaps not the best dish on the menu. The view of Brisbane River from the front of the restaurant is, of course, gorgeous and I'm sure the bar would be a fantastic spot for after-work drinks. The restaurant, while formal, also had a laid back atmosphere, which was lovely. One slight annoyance was a large table that got very loud and disrupted the ambience a little - perhaps the staff could have encouraged the group to move to the bar area once they'd finished their meal. Overall however this is a lovely spot for dinner with fantastic service. read more

Absolutely exquisit! Amazing, innovative, and truly delicious food, beautiful location with great views on the city, extremely friendly and professional staff. Quite pricey, but worth it. Thanks for a wonderful last evening in Brisbane! read more

Simply wonderful! We attended on the occasion of our friend's 40th birthday, and we found the restaurant to be lovely, and the food delicious and really quite filling. The wait staff are efficient, attentive and spent time describing the specials. We were there on a night where they were experimenting with a few new dishes, so that was fun. The view is amazing, especially when you go on a lovely autumn night, like we did. The bar and and restaurant was very busy, bustling, and full of action. Great service and the food was delicious! Highly recommended for a nice night out! read more

Stokehouse - Nice view of the river! - Seafood Near Me - Brisbane, QLD

12/2/2012 Whenever we read about a new venue opening in Brisbane, in a news article, our curiosity is immediately piqued. More so, when that venue has to do with food! We are referring to the Stokehouse Brisbane, one of the new comers to Brisbane's Southbank fine dining precinct. Having officially opened in late October 2011, we had been looking forward to finally experiencing what Stokehouse Brisbane had to offer. We decided on dinner. Stokehouse Brisbane is located just underneath the Goodwill Bridge in Sidon St, South Bank, perfectly situated by the river. From the outside, you can tell there has been a lot of thought into the design of the restaurant, modern, elegant, yet still retaining a relaxed feeling. If the Stokehouse was a girl, she would be Emmanuelle Chriqui in a Yellow Ruffle dress, and If I was single, I would've asked her out on a date right there and then! Then I remembered to never judge a book by its cover. It was time to go inside and sample the food. Once inside, we were breaking our necks as we looked around the restaurant. The beautiful interior setting, a combination of indoor and outdoor, high ceilings, (there's a second level), and the coup de grace; the sweeping views of the river across the CBD. The Goodwill bridge is also visible, arching to the other side of the river, a reminder of your unique location. All of this added to the ambience of Stokehouse, and despite its "fine dining" tag, it certainly felt very relaxed, and familiar, like an old friend visiting from out of town. Stokehouse, so far, was hitting all the spots! At the table, service was professional and friendly, an offer of water, a wine list, and most importantly the menu. We ordered 2 glasses of the Pinot Grigio to start, whilst deciding on what to have for the evening. The menu is uncomplicated, and appeal to a wide variety of taste buds (http://stokehousebrisbane.com.au/restaurant/) Although we had a fair idea of what we wanted, the waitress did a great job in making the Mooloolaba Crab salad special with curry mayonnaise, apple jelly avocado mousse sound appealing, which my other half promptly ordered as Entree. I ordered the Crispy Skinned Lannoch Farm Quail, with gorgonzola polenta, caramelised pear. Service was on point, attentive (with our water being regularly filled up by our waitress), and very quick, as it wouldn't have been more than 10 minutes, and our Entrees were ready. Being a "fine dining" restaurant, the portions were small as expected, but very well presented. The quail was perfectly crisp (and de-boned), and the flavours of the polenta fusing with the caramelised pear on my tongue was like a subtle dance between a perfect couple. In a word, Yum! The Crab salad, was "nice" according to my partner in crime, but she was a little confused with the curry mayonnaise and apple jelly avocado mousse. The flavours were a little off the mark for her liking, or just not an acquired taste on her part, but still a very nice Entree. Not long after, our Mains arrived. Free range duck breast, eggplant, cumin, date and Madeira reduction. My order was the Pan fried cone bay Barramundi, pencil leeks, artichoke puree, and herb nage. The moment we took a bite out of our respective orders, there was no need for talking, or even making any sound. Eyebrows slightly raised, and our eyes rolled back in unison as we breathed out, was all that was required to convey how beautiful our food tasted. The slight tangy taste of the artichoke puree combined perfectly with the creamy-buttery taste of the herb nage, which enveloped the clean and mild taste of the pan friend Barramundi. In similar fashion, the Duck, tender and flavourful, took my other half to the clouds. The madeira reduction was perfect in its saucy consistency, with its sweetness, enhanced by the dates, and yet ever so subtle, the earthy spicy taste of cumin, would reveal itself on one's palette. Combining all those elements with the Duck breast was brilliant. Compliments to the chef. For Dessert we decided on "The Bomb" - a frozen white chocolate parfait with strawberry sorbet, toasted meringue. We also ordered some Baby cake with lemon meringue tart and vanilla crème brulee. Elegantly presented, we tucked into the dessert right away! The flavours exploded in our mouths as we combined the white chocolate with the strawberry sorbet, it was "The Bomb" indeed. It was a perfect last course to finish dinner with. Service throughout the night, was impeccable. Our waitress was friendly, always available, and one felt "looked after" without being imposed on. We are big on service, and everything for this Sunday night dinner was perfect. From the location, the views, the venue itself, and of course the food! Stokehouse Brisbane certainly deserves all the accolades it came with and the Brisbane fine dining scene should feel lucky to have another venue of such high quality. We wholeheartedly recommend Stokehouse Brisbane. read more

Short version: good food, average service. Long version: Booked at Stokehouse on the weekend for a special occasion (my husbands birthday) and made it clear that it was so. We were greeted at the door with a "happy birthday" and so it started off well. Foodwise, we had a fantastic evening. Our entrees were winners, I had a duck tortellini in consomme, and hubby had squid ink linguine that were both sensational and absolutely full of flavour, although erring on the heavily seasoned side. Steak for main was excellently cooked, although topped with a chargrilled spring onion mixture that made me wish for something more fresh. Dory main was excellent all round. Dessert was pricey ($21 for dessert?), but reasonable. We both picked strawberry themed dishes with a strawberry souffle and their signature dessert bombe (parfait centre, scorched meringue exterior) respectively. Our waiter seemed all of 15 years of age (okay, he was probably older but still appeared extremely young), and was very casual in his demeanour. He kept pointing both his elbow and the wine bottle right in my face everytime he poured the wine. He disappeared somewhere between our mains and dessert, so we basically had no assigned waitperson. This meant we had a large wait between our plates being cleared from our mains, and dessert being offered, and being recieved. All around us, were people getting "happy anniversary" and the like sprawled across their dessert plates in chocolate writing, so I smugly awaited for my hubbys dessert to come out... AND NOTHING!!! I was a bit annoyed at this, okay, maybe I had high expectations, but seriously, Stokehouse just didn't seem to care. At least not about us. This is why it doesn't get 5 stars, and just barely made 4 really. The food and location saved it. The service wasn't bad at all, it just wasn't exceptional, which is what I would expect from a place like this. read more

The staff have become somewhat more surly than when I was last here. Their bar menu is no longer much chop. The music playing on the PA sounds like something circa 1980, with a very Mark Knoppfler vibe. The only thing it has going for it is the location and view, and there are others with the same selling point. Maybe I've been put off by the "whatever" vibe from the staff, but, for me, the Stokehouse Bar is off my Brisbania bar list. read more

I really enjoyed the set up. Great location away from the other restaurants, on the water. The bar area is a tops date location! We didn't book and turned up on a night they had a 40 person function upstairs and a pretty full restaurant. They didn't lie, laid out the facts, told us it would be a 30min wait. With the bar so perfectly adjacent we chose to wait it out. Yes we did have to wait about 45mins all up, but we were updated regularly and the food came out soon after we ordered. The bar tender and wait staff were all very friendly and knew what they were talking about. They are probably told to do this... but they kept touching the bf's back everytime they handed him something. I didn't get any back pats :( not really a drama though ; ) Food was really good, but I'm not giving it 5 stars.. but that may be because I don't get 100% excited by 'modern australian'. Squid ink linguine was pretty cool but intense/rich flavour. Think I would only have it as an entree in the future. The bar food looked pretty good and I'd be tempted to try eat there instead of the restaurant next time. Yes its fine dining so be prepared to farewell some dosh. It'll be a worthy send off though! read more

Our boss was gracious enough to treat us to Stokehouse one fine evening, and we had the pleasure of going a little cray with the menu. I'll jump right into the food. Moreton Bay Bug entree: WOWA WEE WAAA! 6 out of 5 for sure. Beautifully poached and grilled bug tails with handrolled pasta and a rich, buttery sauce flavored with wine and tarragon. Highlight of the evening. Wagyu Scotch Main: 3 out of 5. Served medium with shaved beets, roasted broccoli, green (pea?) puree. The meat was much to fatty for me. I get that Wagyu is a prime hunk, but I felt that it wasn't well marbleized at all, and thus ended up chewing on entire areas of fat on occasion. Custard apple panna cotta with macadamia crumble: 4 out of 5. Delicious and beautifully presented in a stemless wine glass, similar to a trifle. Unfortunately, apart from the torn bits of custard apple garnish, I did not get as much custard apple flavour as I would have liked. The macadamia crumble was sweet and crunchy (at times even salty) and was a delight to scoop out with little spoonfuls of the panna cotta. El Hub ordered the spanner crab gazpacho to start (3 out of 5), grain-fed filet main (3 out of 5), roasted pineapple with passionfruit icecream (4 out of 5) for an overall score of 3. The service was on par with what I would expect from an establishment of this caliber, which is to say, it was quite good despite our being a larger table. read more

After previously attending a function here and having wonderful food I decided to come along to get the full dinner experience. Well kids let me tell you going from the function experience to the dinner was like rapidly moving from the honeymoon phase in a relationship to full on angsty 20year old marriage that leaves you dead inside. My pork terrine entree was all fat, with just the smallest hint of meat, while my "fish and chips" - which actually had inverted commas on the menu and lead me to believe it would be a deconstructed new take on fish and chips - was sadly disappointing. While the grilled barramundi was delicious it came with sad cold chips and tempura veg that had the thickest batter I felt I was scraping off dough from my teeth. My partner ordered the seared tuna special, and we were expecting the middle to be pink with a beautiful seat on the outside... In reality he got a white overlooked piece of tuna - seriously it was white/grey with no pink in the middle at all. Everything was slow and underwhelming. The service was meh and nothing felt special - for $40 a main you want to feel special. It drives home to me why I usually stick to great upcoming cafes in Brissy instead of going to higher end restaurants. Brissy still hasn't caught up with Sydney and Melbourne on this from unfortunately - especially in the service department. read more

We have been meaning to go to Stokehouse for months but only finally got around to it; however, our dining experience didn't quit live up to our expectations. It's a beautiful setting and the service was polite & efficient but clearly not the true professionals other high-end spots maintain. The menu has 3 distinct areas: refined & delicately plated entrees, beautifully made pasta & more simple looking mains that include the obligatory high grade beef cuts required on any Brisbane menu. I had a rabbit special to start which was outstanding & my wife a pasta. These parts of the menu were on song. For mains we both had a beautiful grass fed eye fillet with a side of chat potatoes cooked in Wagu fat. It was beautiful beef but as with the other mains we saw on the menu, I think the price point was just off for the simplicity. I don't necessarily want a cheaper meal, just some more wow from a place like this The wine list makes great reading but be careful not to neglect your company as you could easily get consumed. One small criticism is that the wine came straight from the cellar & was served still on the cold side. Although we were not tempted by desert, the baby cakes finished the meal off perfectly. I think Stokehouse has all the elements & 'should' be as a 2 Hat restaurant, but it's just not there. It needs that Wow to match its upper end prices. read more

The good: The ambience with great views of the city and bridge was great. My appetizer was a tuna tartar with crispy chicken skin, thus was a unique take and added interesting flavors when combined together. The bad: Our waitress was very nice and tried to be attentive with our needs , i.e., water filled and bread. However, she was not able to do this due to the amount of other tables she had. They really needed a water and bread runner. I had the fish and chips, way too much batter and it even tasted like it was a bit burned and refried. It was edible if you have enough tartar sauce. The ugly: This is the main reason I gave it a one. We ordered quite a lot of food for our group of nine. At the recommendation of our waitress, we ordered more sides than what I felt necessary thinking I'm going to take it to our apartment. Lo and behold, this restaurant does not allow take out. We had to throw out almost four full sides and two plates of fish and chips! I was raised not to waste food. read more

With my New Years resolution being to get out and try more of Brisbane's restaurants, it was apt that we chose Stokehouse to start the ball rolling on 2015. Perched gracefully on the river bank, we had an the perfect spot to watch the sunset and colours change across the water. As we had our daughter with us, we opted for an early sitting which was the best time to enjoy the view. The service was friendly and prompt for the entire evening and we were attended to by our waiter, a sommelier and a supervisor, so all bases were covered and we were really impressed by their attentiveness. I opted for a special, the squid ink pasta with prawn and scampi which was delicious and my partner had the spring lamb which was soft and tasty. The waiter rattled off a few children's options and out little one happily chowed down on a very meaty bolognaise. I always go for a chocolate dessert but nothing jumped out at me, so we thought the banoffe sounded good. It was good with lots of different textures and tastes, set out in a 'deconstructed' way, but for $20, I expected something a bit moreish... The location and design of the restaurant is perfect and if the service and meals are always like what we experienced tonight, they cannot go wrong! It was particularly great to see how well the staff interacted with our daughter, which is rare in many higher end establishments and always makes for happy and relaxed parents. The bar next door looked great and had some more casual dinner options available, I'm keen to try that soon too. read more

Pretty much everything here was perfect, Service, food, atmosphere. If you are in Brisbane, eat here.

I feel kinda awkward giving such a nice-looking place (with such good existing reviews) only two stars. I was just really underwhelmed by the experience, apart from the view - but a really prime slab of real estate shouldn't be the be-all and end-all of your offering. I don't know. I really like to walk away from a place feeling like I had a real experience there, and I just didn't get that at Stokehouse. Like I said, the location is beautiful - right on the river, with a decent view out over the river for (one side of) every table. Sitting near full-length glass windows, I found I was actually a bit cold on a winter's evening. The food was okay. The service was prompt (complete with a bit of awkward hovering as my dining companions and I had a lot of catch-up chatting to do over dinner). The wine list was ridiculously huge. The French waitress was sweet and polite but her thick accent meant that she was a bit hard to understand. It's nice that Stokehouse was open on a Monday night, because a lot of places are closed on Mondays, but just that and the view and the design of the place wasn't enough to get me over the line. Disappointed. read more

The food here is very nice but it is really cold sitting in the area facing the river... probably it's only good for summer coz now in winter there is not enough heaters and it is absolutely freezing! read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday before a PH and the friendly receptionist got us a table without a reservation. It was a beautiful day in Brisbane so the view over the river was superb. The wait staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. Food was really good, nice wine selection. Not the cheapest venue but we certainly felt it was good value for the food, service and ambiance. Nothing to complain about. I'd eat here again and would recommend it. read more

Stokehouse - Seafood Near Me - Brisbane, QLD

Wow, no seriously, wow. Cannot fault this place at all. Perfect food, waiter was amazing and as I sit here on my second bottle of wine I'm thinking how I can fault this Place, but cannot......... Ok, 12 hours later with a minor hangover, time to reflect in more detail. I still cannot fault this restaurant. I went with my partner and our 6 week old baby. Started at the bar with a nice Australian Ale (never heard of the brand, but it was really smooth) then moved to our table. The host and our waiter were fantastic! Excellent customer service, happy and cheerful and although they never interrupted our conversation, we never had to wait for anything (drinks, specials, ordering, food). We both had an appetiser, entrée, main, desert, coffees and wines (please see above note re: hangover). The view across the Brisbane river at night is second to none. Yes it was pricey for us and we would only use on special occasions (bill was $256.00) but we will definitely take visiting friends and family there when we can. Excellent all round! read more

Stokehouse is one of my favorite restaurants in Brisbane and I'm a regular visitor. So I'm devastated to award this only 1 star due to poor customer service. After ordering oysters I found an hair in the accompanying vinaigrette. When I pointed this out to the waiter (who was v good) he was apologetic and replaced them immediately. When the bill came the oysters had still been charged for, so when I questioned the manager he said this was because they couldn't guarantee the hair had come from the kitchen. He insinuated it was from us and was adamant the hair had come from other sources because 'we don't serve food with hairs in'! Im sure accidents happen and we would have happily paid for them had he acknowledged some care or responsibility - which he didn't - so in essence his attitude stinks!! read more

This place surpassed my expectations. Located on the river in South Bank, it has pleasant views. Further, the service is excellent. The food was also superb. I had the barramundi entree and it was delicious. The pumpkin side dish was lovely as well. Atmosphere particularly pleasant. read more

There was really not much to dislike about this place. It was excellent. Great riverside location that is surprisingly rare for a place that calls itself the river city. I had the seafood linguine and it was the best I've ever had. My new favorite ingredient is the grilled scampi that was on top. My wife and I had two courses, a bottle of wine and a glass of sparkling each and it cost just over $200 which I thought was very good for a hatted restauraunt. read more

Wow really, really tasty food here. Upscale joint with beautiful views of the city from the South Bank. Good date night place. Excellent wine list. Everything we had was amazingly good including the oysters, the raw tuna with lime oil and I had the special that night of shells with a light buttery sauce with chunks of a really good Italian sausage with lots of fennel plus red peppers and not sure what else. But super plate licking good. Good service too. Yes expensive but a great once in a while place. Would go again for sure. read more

I have had dinner with a small group of friends here before and the food and service was wonderful. I've now organised a corporate event for 30+ people and the customer service I have received cannot be faulted, the staff are incredibly helpful - have provided suggestions and catered to specific dietary requirements, all with a total breeze. I would highly recommend this beautiful venue. read more

We went to the Stokehouse on Australia day and had a fabulous time. The staff was exceptional and so was the wine and food. I had the duck, my partner had the rib steak and both were excellent, cooked to perfection. For an appetizer we had the carpaccio and I don't think we've had better. They cancelled the fire works but the dinner was marvelous none the less. The view was spectacular as we love South Bank and we will definitely return. Barbara, Teneriffe read more

Dinner at Stokehouse last Thursday - awesome experience. Food- very good, Wine - excellent, Service - Very good, Location - excellent. All the factors for a great night. Started at the bar for a quiet drink pre-dinner. Very nice spot to while away the time waiting for late running companions. Dinner. Starters of fresh oysters, and breaded olives. Never seen these before but they were a hit. Entree - the Mooloolooba Tuna was great as well as the Jamon and figs. For Mains I had the Pork Cheek Ragu, bursting with flavour, boss had the Wagyu - truly awesome cow produced that melt in your mouth steak(so it should for $58). 3 Cheeses for desert were a little on the small side, but by that stage it mattered little. Big wine list, but when in doubt quizz the Sommelier, it is his baby after all. Some very good suggestions from him complemented the food and evening in equal measure. Will be going back - yes. But only on special occasions as its one of those places - you pay for what you get, or is it you get what you pay for, read more

Have been here a number of times now, it's always very hard to find fault with anything and tonight was no exception to this. Warmly welcomed upon arrival, a great table and great service by our waiter and all staff who attended our table all evening. The entree/appetiser specials tonight were amazing and were a hit at our table... beautiful, fresh oysters and a trio of sashimi (kingfish, scallop and salmon) were the perfect start to the evening. The mains our group ordered included the green pea risotto and the prawn gnocchi off the menu as well as a sea bass with citrus salad off the daily specials menu and again all 3 dishes were absolutely delicious. Finally for dessert we ordered the trio of baby cakes, which this evening included a house-made mini magnum (complete with mini paddle pop stick!), as well as the chocolate mousse with pear cider sorbet, which all went down a treat. Sure, this place isn't the cheapest night out in Brisbane, but it's well worth it for the quality of the food, the wine list, the level of service (as I have always experienced it when dining here) and the location overlooking the river and the cbd view. Another great dining experience, will definitely be back again, soon! read more

Nice spot, the atmosphere is good, but the rest was pretty average. Went there for lunch on a beautiful day and got a great table right at the railing, overlooking the river. The staff were friendly, but a bit slow-going. We were asked for a drink order three times before we ever saw the lunch menu. Silly me, I wanted decide what I was eating before I ordered a drink. Not that I'm a wine snob that only drinks red with meat and white with fish. I just want the food to inspire the drink choice... Maybe a beer, if it feels right. Once we did order, it did come pretty quickly. Yes, a bit pricey, but the portions were generous. Downside... It was bland. I had to salt my food three times to get the flavor out of it. Admittedly, I have a bit of a salt tooth, but this was a lot for me and, without the salt, my beef cheek had very little flavor, in spite of all the jus on the dish. I'm a big fan of gnocchi and this was not really gnocchi; more like boiled bread. If I had paid $20 for the dish, I would have thought, "Well, you get what you pay for." But for $35, I was disappointed. The only other thing, and this is just so you're aware, it was a bit loud for such a nice restaurant. Maybe it was just the day or the proximity to boisterous tables. Don't get me wrong... I might be the loudest bloke in the pub, but in a place like this, you expect to be able to talk to your date and hear the waitress describe the specials. Summary: It has been said that a good restaurant needs to have 2-out-of-3 elements... Good atmosphere, good service, good food. For a place like this, you don't expect all three to be debatable. read more

Very nice restaurant, great location on the river, great outside seating on the deck but food is the best part. Had oysters for starter and than ordered the swordfish. OMG, I am not a seafood aficionado, like it. am very picky when it comes to it but this thing was fabulous. The green sauce was incredible. Highly recommended. read more

Solid! This is my go to restaurant. Always great service, food, view and food options. Stokehouse is also pretty great at dessert.

Food was absolutely divine, menu was excellent, location and vibe were great, but the patronizing waiter who kept making snide comments put a huge dampener on our evening as a whole. read more

While it had gorgeous views and great service, the food was really very disappointing for extortionate prices. The desserts were a shocking rip off - the "chocolates truffles" (yes, written as plural) was a single truffle the size of a marble for $4 and the lemon meringue was the size of a twenty cent piece and also cost $4. Very ordinary mains for ridiculous prices. Very disappointed and never going there again. read more
