The food ruined my entire hotel stay, hotel as per rating was great, but the meals omg! Curry puffs were like cardboard, spring rolls bland, Italian pino Grigio worst white I've ever had, the berry cheesecake was an oversized 50c piece with few berries on the side and that too tasted pre packaged! No wonder only two in the bar!

A young woman greeted us at the service desk and presented us with seats outside, we looked out at the bay admiring the lights of the hornibrook bridge and further along to kipparing and woody point. The staff member behind the counter was able to describe what food we had queries about. The food was a little more expensive than what I would of liked to pay but the food made up for it in the end. All and all I had enjoyable night with my partner and I will be back to visit soon.

We decided that a great way to spend the end of the first day of 2014 was sharing some fish and…read morechips by the seaside close to home. We settled on either Sandgate or Shorncliffe but as we passed the local fish and chip shops we were put off by the 10 deep queues. We noticed the Full Moon Hotel, which is neslted along the beach road, high on a cliff overlooking the water and bushland. We were lucky enough to snag a table with a view, although the table wasn't clean it seemed a better prospect than being sandwiched amongst the other diners without a view. The tables are set very close together to the point where I can tell you the business of all the diners who sat near us. The menu is a little expensive for what I would consider to be bistro style food. We settled on the beer battered Fish and Chips for twenty-one bucks a plate. It was well presented and tasted fresh but it didn't stand out from any other fish and chip plate I have had in the past. The customer service was friendly but in a superficial kind of way, I didn't feel like my experience was really all that important to them. It was nice to be able to walk off the stodgy fish and chips along the boardwalk afterwards. Good option if all the fish and chip shops are closed or too busy.

My…read morebrother thought somewhere posh was in order, not the usual cheapass chinese restaurant we always go to (chinese family here), but why not take my mum out of her comfort zone for just one special night. So we did. It's a 1 Chef Hat Restaurant, so I knew the food would be quality and fancy. I wasn't exactly sure if I would understand the menu, but I did. We ordered some entrees to start including the pork belly and prawns and my god was the pork belly tender. I'd never had such yummy pork belly, it melted in our mouths and left us salivating for more. Thank goodness for the free bread rolls which we ate beforehand.. or there would be fighting words around I'm guessing. The highlight for our mains was the roast duck my mum coincidentally ordered which everyone had a pick at, so good. All in all, this place was fancy, but not too fancy. The dishes had sizes suitable to the type of restaurant it was, not super small, but not super big. Prices ranged from $25-$45 depending on what you ordered and the service was impeccable. Bonus - right next to the casino so afterwards you can gamble gamble gamble!

And you can see why. Walk into Canvas and you almost instantly forget your are in Brisbane. You could be in Melbourne or a European speak easy when you're at Canvas. Friends and I visited Canvas on a lazy Sunday afternoon and after settling in to our booth we made firm friends with our bartender for the day, Andrew. Our tapas plates (don't deny yourself the Brie. It is worth every calorie!) were exceptional. My firm favourite was the meat balls. We felt like queens with the world out our feet and were blown away by the affordability of our hours spent wiling away the afternoon ($87). Canvas have a Sunday afternoon cocktails and Jazz program that I for one cannot wait to check out. This is a place I could easily see myself becoming a local at.

However most people come here for the great drinks to party the night away with good friends. Venue tends to be on the hipster fancy side so wear smart casual clothing. The servers are friendly. The bartender put on a small show making the strawberry bubbles and had a cheeky smile. Was good fun. Food is great and well priced. I come here on days I don't want to drink too just to have dinner. Their daily special burgers tend to be the best value. I ordered the haloumi burger and was not disappointed. Burger is 20$ with fries included. Also had mini Mac and cheese balls to share. Can't really go wrong with Mac and cheese balls. Also had the blackened chicken salad which was packed full of flavor. Too bad it was small and not as filling as burgers but that can't be helped it's a salad. The drinks are standouts. Usually try something new each time. Strawberry bubbles is a good choice for something sweet and fancy.
