"Food:
Absolutely delicious food. Nice variety of meat, fish and vegetable dishes. Also had gluten free options. We had appetizers and mains with shared sides and it was plenty of food.
Service:
Impeccable service. Explained the specials and offered advice when asked. Always made sure we were hydrated and our glasses were not empty. Truly professional. Well done.
Atmosphere:
Gorgeous setting along the river. It was a 35°day but it was pleasant to sit inside with all the open windows open."

"Wonderful lunch enjoying the river view. Standout dishes were the raw scallops, tempura zucchini flowers, prawn tacos and Fraser Isle spanner crab on corn bread dressed with lemon myrtle - delicate flavours perfectly balanced. Excellent service capped a relaxing afternoon"

"Me a mate were looking for a nice steakhouse whilst around the area. While Pokemon hunting in Southbank, saw this had great reviews. We gave it a go and was blown away with the quality of the service they had here. They didn't bat an eye even though we weren't "dressed" like the other patrons and the staff were very friendly. Accommodating with our questions and offered recommendations with our choice of wine. The steak on that wasn't on the menu is superb! I'd say #2 on my list now. Will definitely be back here and bring my partner to get to try this place. Awesome view as well of the river and the CBD.
If you want value for money, I'd say this a place definitely is. For the quality matched the price. A little steep for everyday dining but not too bad for once a week.
Also the gin an tonic is a must palette aperitif!"
