Our last meal at this great restaurant. Such a shame its closing down. Cannot wait for Sophies new venture to open in Palmwoods. She is an excellent chef, the food is always good, great variety and reasonably priced considering what you get.

Another amazing meal at our favourite Mooloolaba restaurant. Tonight we opted for the banquet which left it up to the chef’s choice. We were spoilt with a surprise selection of Chef Sophie’s tantalising courses including Scallop dumplings, beef tataki, sashimi, and incredibly tender beef spare ribs with sides to match and a dessert that was out of this world. We left with our belly’s full and our mind’s blown. Such a delight for the palate! The staff were brilliant as ever with exceptional service and attention to detail. My advice - there’s only 10 more days of The Spice Bar before developers knock the building down so do your taste buds a favour and go, go, GO!

Excellent food with a twist. The chef really knew how to pair foods so that they had flair compared to the standard recipes. Very knowledgeable and attentive staff. Great atmosphere and very friendly. A great way to celebrate our daughter’s birthday

Our visit to Spice Bar was definitely a 10/10. Aaron looked after us for the night and was an amazing waiter. Service was excellent. He was lots of fun too! The food was incredible - very dish was super delicious. Cocktails were amazing - the spicy Magarita my favourite. Thanks for a great evening.

It was a milestone lunch for us with friends who had introduced Spice Bar when we moved up from Victoria. Today was a celebration of this time and it was a magical afternoon. We were well fed and well supplied with drinks. Awesome day.

Thankyou Roz! Glad you enjoyed our final bottomless event.
