Perfect sized and delicious choice of small meals for a light lunch! Service was exceptional and discreet. Seating more suited to younger bods (celebration for 2x68 birthdays) but otherwise the perfect venue for fussy old ducks.

Had my birthday lunch here with friends, and it was awesome. The food was amazing, we were all stuffed, and it was definitely worth the price. The ambience and design of the restaurant were really nice, super posh and great vibes. Only thing is, it was pretty busy, so we had to wait a bit before anyone took our drink orders. But overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely go back.

A nice selection of meals, by size and style. Very happy with our meals and service on the day, and of course, it's a bright and airy space with great views of Brisbane CBD over the river. Can recommend.
