Consistent and not rushed. A great wine list. Lots of places can fire a steak but the it’s the choice of sides that separates Walters from the rest.

Bit of a mixed experience here. Our party of 8 was a Monday night business dinner. The noise level was very high which made that difficult. The table waiter was excellent but we were met by a hostile waiter who would not let us return to the bar having been shown to the table to meet the rest of the party who were waiting there because 'we have to have the table back in 2hrs sharp'. Surprised by the attitude for such an expensive venue. Also proved not to be true as the food took so long to arrive (seated at 6pm, steaks arrived at 8pm). The table waiter was superb and just ordered a selection of dishes to be shared out. Three large T-bones cooked and carved to perfection. The wine list was great. In short, it does not live up to its reputation, the value was a little low overall but still worth a visit for special occasions.

Great meal, we arrived a bit late at 10pm on 17/6 but the waitress was so kind and fit us in. She made it a great experience, we wanted to thank her with a tip but she finished her shift by the time we left.

Service was a littler disappointing. Was almost 15 minutes at the table before a drink arrived. We’d then finished that drink before a food order was taken. Food and venue are 10/10 but get stained by the 6/10 service

When you pay almost double what you would pay at a private club just up the road, have noisier and less well dressed patrons, and less service, you would be disappointed. Yes it was ok, and many would be impressed, but it was pretentious, with pretentious staff (in some cases) and less than ideal staff in other cases, I was disappointed. My companion was a person who normally eats in suburban restaurants, but is a great cook herself, was polite and grateful to me, but I could tell she was underwhelmed. There is better food and better experience elsewhere in Brisbane.

A truly superb dining experience with friendly and dedicated staff. The signature dish is always a winner with our corporate clients and the selection of wines and port complements the old world style and feel of the restaurant. Our group was running late however everyone was so professional, polite and accommodating. Well done to everyone!

Walters steakhouse is exactly what you’d expect from a steakhouse where beef is king. While perfectly adequate, it’s not a sophisticated menu (not sure when the last time I was served a bowl of cream with my desert but it was probably when my grandmother was still alive). Beautiful setting in one of Brisbanes heritage buildings, Old Minerals House, built in the 1890s. My New York strip was slightly under - more rare than medium-rare but that seems to be the trend nowadays, which was a similar complaint for the table. Entrees were large and ‘alright’ but again nothing to rave about. All in all, glad we went but nobody seemed to be in a rush to return.

The very best steak I've ever had. The wait staff were superb, very knowledgeable and made you feel like you were there for an experience, not just a meal, Russell made us feel very welcome and engaged. The décor and ambiance is delightful, having been to New York steakhouses and restaurants, this definitely feels like you've stepped into a local establishment in Hell's Kitchen New York. Loved the playlist in the background, will definitely be back to this Brisbane gem!

This was a present from my nieces. It was a great place to visit and would do it again in a minute. Hubby and I loved the food, the atmosphere, though it did get to be a bit noisy being Friday Lunch time. The place was nearly full, can understand why booking is essential. But otherwise wouldn't have missed it for the world.
