Black Bird Bar & Grill

Very pleased overall.
I travel extensively internationally and would have no hesitation with recommending Black Bird as an eating establishment.
If there is any negative it would be that the wine selection is vast. Required viewing time when endeavouring to select a wine and peruse the variety is over 10 min. As a suggestion a smaller selection on one wine menu, that applies to your core menu and then a greater selection when you have a sophisticated diner. Hard to work out who is sophisticated - you can only try.

Fantastic service and delicious meals. Steak was cooked to perfection, full of flavor and tender.

Great food and service. One of our favourite restaurants in Brisbane

Quite an interesting layout and ambience with high quality service. The entrees were superb but the main (T-Bone) with the sides (green veggies and potato) were average - nothing out of the ordinary.

If you're looking for great service with a decent steak then look no further. The solid quality on offer obviously appeals to the more onservative clientele: Try the kiln smoked trout - it was yummy😉

Honeymoon!

Great location, food fabulous and service outstanding.
Wonderful night

Overpriced for an underwhelming experience

The lamb shoulder was excellent. The menu is a little unimaginative.

Made the booking on OpenTable -- showed up and they said they couldn't find booking because "their OpenTable person leaves at 5pm....? Chose restaurant because they said "good for groups" and they had availability -- but PRIMARY reason was that it had Riverview seating. Instead we were stuck in a stuffy library with a grumpy server. Made it feel like we had made a really poor choice -- at a really expensive restaurant. The starters were amazing....the steak, not so great.

Fabulous food. Enjoyed the feasting options. A special ambience for special events.

Always a fantastic dining experience with excellent quality food and service. Have dined there many times and will continue to do so.

It’s my first time there , I’m super happy with food and service 👍

Great food and even better service. The view was magnificent

Blackbird used to be my favourite dining place in Brissy, as it presents great food and stunning view. The chewy steak and juicy clair de lune oysters as well as the attending service used to impress me a lot. The attendant at the door has a bubbly outlook and she is gorgeous and welcoming.The goose&duck pate is still delicious. But this time, apparently the attendant at the door does not know how to smile. Plate presentation of steak is disappointing. The meat just laid on a white plain plate, which is boring.

Food is absolutely amazing, wine menu is superb ... great location with magnificent views ... service is 10/10 ...

Great food! Service was really good too. Was annoying we had to pay for water, especially since they fill up your water non stop. A heads up on the price and we wouldn't have drunk so much! But overall was a really good evening :)

The restaurant is beautiful and the service is glorious the food is lovely but could be improved the view is amazing overall I would recommend this restaurant but prewarned it’s very noisy.

Had dinner with a friend. We both had and very much enjoyed the kangaroo. Nice wine selection to accompany the menu choices. The staff were warm and friendly and contributed to an overall very nice dining experience. Many other great choices on the menu. Check them out if you are in town.

We have been to Blackbird on several occasions. We loved the food on each occasion. The staff are professional; the atmosphere great. But the food...just wonderful! Thanks!

Outstanding, exceptional food and service with extensive wine and beverage list with expertise to support choices.

We love Black Bird. My girlfriends and enjoy this place because of location, great service atmosphere, delicious meals.

It was all perfect and I was thrilled at how willing the Chef was to accommodate my dietary requirements! It's now a favourite and I'll definitely be back.

Ok venue seafood starter not as good as expected. Lamb shoulder was to die for. Restaurant lacked atmosphere.

Brilliant as always. It was remarkably busy for a Monday night, so the service was a bit slower than normal, but who cares, we had great food, wine and view of the Storey Bridge.

Wonderful place for a night out with partner or friends. Service, food, wine all amazing. First time and will definitely be back many more times.

We really enjoyed our evening at Blackbird. The menu was very exciting - varied, interesting and very on trend and the food did not disappoint, it was delicious. The plates arrived at our table looking very beautiful (10/10 for plating) and all of our meals tasted amazing. Additionally all of our meals were a generous size. We have eaten at quite a number of restaurants in Brisbane and this is now one of my top 5's. Our waiters were also lovely - friendly and helpful.

Had a wonderful evening with family and friends in lovely surrounds with amazing food and delightful wait staff. The steak special - wagyu, was perfect and very reasonably priced. It comes with coleslaw that we all raved over, and we ordered 2 sides, they were both gorgeous (pumpkin and greens). Cocktails and wine were delicious. Generous serves of mains left us with no room for dessert but they sounded excellent. Highly recommended for your next steak meal with views overlooking the river. The bar has gobsmacking views of Storey bridge and should not be missed!

Yum! Beautiful food, great staff and what a view! 7 colleagues had a wonderful celebratory lunch. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Gluten free requirements were catered for. Food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back and recommending it to our friends.

Staff were fab.. but my waiter disappeared before I finished the meal and no one said.

The steak I chose was beautifully cooked but tasted greasy and was at least 20% fat. The manager tried to explain that a scotch fillet wasn't s scotch fillet in Australia. It was apparently more of a rib eye but not a rib eye.
The starter was bland. Cheese might have well been Coles cream cheese with a strong (not fresh) Serrano ham. I did feed this back but no one checked back with me before finished.

Good quiet under stated service with excellent food

Enjoyed the food for a special occasion.

We dined at Blackbird based on customer reviews. We were definitely not disappointed. The food was simply exceptional. The service was first class. The river view was spectacular. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for dinner. What a memorable evening.

These guys are just brilliant, food, service and Wine list are outstanding.
Sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and our waiter was also on the ball, explained all questions relating to the menu which is what you would expect from a modern day restaurant.

2 thumbs up, we'll be back for sure.
Thanks again, you made my top 5 restaurants of all time

Nice restaurant

Always beautiful, magnificent food, ambience and service. Brilliant!

Very good meal with some colleagues. Had heard some negative press (friends) but we gave it a go and were very impressed. Will highly recommend it to others and will be back. Some of us looking at holding special events there too now (and again as I have in the past).

Amazing view, friendly and efficient staff, beautiful food reasonably priced. A must restaurant to go when in Brisbane. Perfect restaurant for a special treat. Highly recommended.

My first experience and I'll be back. Interstate guests from Sydney and Melbourne were more than impressed with level of service attention to detail and the meal it self. The Tomahawk and Shoulder of lamb were the best I meat that I have ever tasted. I have already rebooked

Absolutely gorgeous food and views of the river. Service outstanding! Loved loved loved it!
