Great atmosphere and great food. I love coming here for a night out with a group of friends. It's a good idea to get a selection of dishes and get everyone to try a bit of this and a bit of that. The belly dancer is always impressive to watch and you can get up and give it a go if you wish.

They have great food on offer at Il Centro. The sandcrab lasagne is to die for and their steaks are always top notch and cooked exactly as requested. I took my relatives from OS here any they really enjoyed tasting crocodile and other unique Aussie produce. Would highly recommend.

Award winning restaurant, Marco Polo Dining Cellar Martini Bar is one of Brisbane's best five-star dining experience. I visited here for lunch on my Birthday and enjoyed the international cuisine on offer. The contemporary décor added to the atmosphere. The service was a little slow on the day.

The Plough Inn Tavern provides traditional Aussie hospitality with live entertainment, ice cold beers, sensational steaks, the best smoked pork ribs and good old fashioned pub atmosphere. Always a great place for a fun night out with a group of friends. Very busy on Fri and Sat nights.

I have been here for lunch several time and enjoyed it so much decided to have our office Christmas party here. The food is always delicious and my favourite was the melt in your mouth beef cheeks. If you are having a function here don;t be afraid to ask for something not on their menu and they are always happy to come up with suggestions to suit to your taste and pocket.

I enjoy the relaxed dining atmosphere at the River Canteen and it has sensational city views. Enjoy the Modern European cuisine with an international flavour. The portions are on the small side so eat slowly and savour the favour. Most enjoyable.

I always enjoy the relaxed dining and fabulous food at Decks. With an innovative modern Australian menu, I always have a hard time deciding on what to order as it all looks so good. I usually have a seafood dish and am never disappointed. I like that their menu does change throughout the year so what you had last time may not be available next time.

Situated on the Brisbane river at southbank, I always enjoy having coffee and cake, lunch and dinner at Cafe San Marco. I sit outside and enjoy breathtaking views of the Brisbane river and skyline and watch the myriad of people go by. A great place to take out of town visitors and the food is always good. They now have full tabel serve which is a bonus.
