    We had a very enjoyable Fixed Sunday Lunch - particularly enjoyed the tri tip beef main and all those interesting vegetable sides and entrees. Wine the glass complemented our meal.

    The food at August was excellent - innovative and interesting combinations of flavours. The wine we chose was reasonably priced and a good match for the food. Perhaps the menu might have indicated that most of the plates were share plates. That would have avoided some confusion! One negative was the noise level from music. The room has a great acoustic and hard surfaces and that can make life difficult. We eat with friends to talk and that was difficult until the music was reduced in volume.

    Absolute perfection. August is one of the best dining experiences we've had in Brisbane for years. Delicious, creative dishes with lots of heart (and generously portioned too). Such a beautiful space to visit and be transported through a truly memorable meal.

    The appetizers were okay. The main dish of lamb was mediocre- the lamp chop was very fatty. The dish for two was served with one steak knife. The only starch available was French Fries- not an elegant offering.

    Beautiful venue there inside the repurposed church. Great ambience. The staff were fantastic and super attentive. But above all the food was absolutely amazing. They do a really good dirty martini too. But the food: OMG! Oysters chorizo. What a combination! The artichoke with parmesan custard: complete flavour bomb. The chicken crown with fois gras was huge and unbelievingly tast. There are leftovers in the fridge an in looking forward to that. Saving some for leftovers was a good idea so as to fit the blue cheese cheese cake with PX jelly. Thanks so much! Brilliant evening.
