The young blonde male waiter was so rude everytime he served our during that time. From the time we entered the venue when he guided us to the table and even when he served us water, extremely rude behaviour. It was my partner’s birthday so we went there with our bestfriend and the young waiter’s attitude and service was a shame. The staffs of the terrace used to be friendly not anymore. I regret bringing my partner there all because of that waiter’s attitude.

I took my wife there for a night out at a nice restaurant to find it was a head banging noisy place and too loud to talk! We ordered entrees which was quite nice and mains. My wife liked her main and my main was like boiled meat. I asked if I could substitute my pumpkin for potatoes and was told no so I had to buy fries! It was all over in less than an hour and 194. 00 dollars. I and my wife are a young 67 but felt like fish out of water from the very start. Gerald Cassidy

Beautiful position overlooking the river and the city, usually food is always excellent, calamari, Korean chicken and cauliflower were amazing as always. Tried the Bug Rolls for the first time, so very disappointing, were more like a coleslaw roll for $24. And they should have on the menu that they are cold , we were envisaging bug rolls like Rick Shores, obviously smaller given the price. Still a wonderful evening, am a regular diner and will definitely return!

Food was very good and we love coming to the Emporirum. Ambience was not so pleasant - it sounded like an ice crushing machine or blender, was on for about 20 minutes flat out - I couldn't make out why, as you were not busy at that time of day. Maybe getting ready for cocktails later in the afternoon? Anyway, that discordant noise definitely detracted from the ambience. Overall - it wasn't a fabulous lunch, and that is what we come to the emporium for ... FABULOUS!

We had an amazing time at The Terrace - Emporium Hotel South Bank in Brisbane last Friday. The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic, with breathtaking views of the city skyline.

The food was delicious, with a diverse menu offering something for everyone. The cocktails were exceptional and complemented the overall experience perfectly.
