    A venue to book ahead months in advance to get it. Kitchen extremely organised with fantastic choices, all food arrived quickly and well timed and prepared perfectly. Staff were attentive and welcoming. For a venue within QPAC servicing the urgency of an enjoyable meal and a deadline for the show commencement, they have this down pat. Never had a bad experience, almost like the best of the best want to be part of this establishment. Thank you Chefs.

    It was my first visit and I was captivated by the location. The views are just great. The only mild irritation was it was quite windy and even though we were inside it didn't make a lot of difference. However that will not prevent a re-visit as the owners cannot control the weather. Perhaps they could have lowered a couple of the clear plastic blinds but then we could have requested that as well and didn't. The food was very good and well presented. Only 1 staff member was a bit on the off side. As a single in a party of 3 my bill for breakfast was racked up at nearly $60.00. When queried she argued with me as to what she had heard. My friend who was with me at the counter was quite adamant the cashier didn't hear what she said because I simply didn't order what she said I did which was a repeat of my friends order for 2 plus my own single order. A wee bit strange. The other staff were extremely courteous and welcoming considering I arrived about 45 minutes earlier than our booking because I mis-judged the traffic!! Overall a very pleasant way to start the morning and I am already planning to visit with another group in the New Year.
