We were going to the Brisbane theatre magic show and had dinner beforehand. Wow, glad we did. Food, service, drink selection, and table we were seated at were excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend and plan to return with some friends soon. We wanted to check it out and very happy with our experience. Well done!

If you would like to dine with great ambience and service this is the place to go. Food was plentiful, and there was a 3 piece band which set the scene beautifully. Deep fried camembert was amazing!
