A venue to book ahead months in advance to get it. Kitchen extremely organised with fantastic choices, all food arrived quickly and well timed and prepared perfectly. Staff were attentive and welcoming. For a venue within QPAC servicing the urgency of an enjoyable meal and a deadline for the show commencement, they have this down pat. Never had a bad experience, almost like the best of the best want to be part of this establishment. Thank you Chefs.
