Passionate about food and wine, they really care about what they’re doing. Pulling this off in a restaurant would be good but pulling this off in a bus with a tiny mise.. Sarah knows her wine, the pairings were great. They take note of allergies and are super careful.

The ambiance of this restaurant is absolutely delightful, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The food is delicious, and their quail dish is truly unique and flavorful—a must-try for anyone looking to indulge in something extraordinary.

Da Biuso is a special dining experience. The food was considered and beautiful. Highlights for me were the buttery scampi and delicate trout. The fit out is adorable and the custom plates were a wonderful touch. Sarah and the team were attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating.

Highly recommend ! After visiting twice, I can confidently say it’s a fantastic spot for a great dining experience. The service is outstanding—staff members are warm, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcome. The food is of exceptional quality, with fresh ingredients and flavors that truly stand out. Best oysters ever tasted, fresh and juicy. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or a night out with friends, Flaming & Co delivers on both atmosphere and taste. Definitely a place worth returning to!

We went with some friends for dinner and had a great time. Food was excellent, I recommend the kangaroo croquette (if you don’t prefer it gamey) and the smoked chicken which was cooked perfectly with succulent texture plus generous serve. The restaurant is dog friendly with outdoor seating (front patio) and had a warm vibe. At the time of this review, we ordered from the summer menu 2025.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Everything was absolute perfection. Steaks were the best. You probably need to order a side with the main though as the portion for the main is smaller but still plenty with the extra side. Wattleseed bread as a starter was amazing. We dined from the winter menu and I’ve posted the pics here as I noticed their menu options were different to photos from reviews. Service was fantastic. Really delicious food and lovely atmosphere. We really liked the modern Australian spin on classic food. The service was lovely and the food was wonderful. Surprise favourite: duck pate. I’m not generally a pate fan but my partner is. We both loved it. The sauce and sauerkraut went really well with it!

The food was excellent. I had the banquet meal along with most of our group. It was a delicious experience that was crafted with some real talent. The ingredients were bursting with freshness. Throughout the evening we were served by very friendly people who had a good eye for detail and addressed our needs well. The restaurant is in a beautiful location and presents very well inside, the atmosphere was relaxed, friendly and enjoyable. Fosh bar & restaurant sets a standard for 5 stars that I think other establishments will have difficulty attaining. Yes, it’s that good.

FOSH delivered an incredible dining experience! We had oysters, squid, Thai fish curry, and mussels—each dish was packed with flavor, with the Thai fish curry being a standout surprise. The service was impeccable, with friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff who were happy to chat and offer menu insights. A fantastic spot for a date night.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pleasant experience with Sono from beginning to end. We had the 6 course banquet ($125pp) and everything was amazing. The staff’s knowledge was superb as they explained in detail all the food that was served. I highly recommend the black cod as the main as it absolutely blew us away. Furthermore, they were all super friendly and congratulating us and asking to take our pictures as it was our anniversary. This place is worth the money and has became a favourite. Would come here again

Got a private room with my parents and wife! The service was amazing, quick, and extremely friendly + knowledgeable about the food! I enjoy fine dining, but I am especially glad that they timed the food items perfectly. Did not have to wait between the courses
TONY DING
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Service is awesome! They prepared a table next to river view for our anniversary. – Food is fresh and various. Dinner set is perfect for two people. – My favourite dish is long-time seasoned miso roasted fish. Fish is very tender, well-seasoned and with a tint of charcoal-grilled flavour. So yummmm!!! – Not cheap, but pretty sure we will be back there.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Aroma Restaurant! I ordered the Pollo Prawns, and it was not only beautifully served but also incredibly tasty and healthy. Every bite was full of flavor, and I truly appreciated the quality of the ingredients. The pizza was hands down the best I’ve had in a long time—perfectly cooked with a delicious crust and generous toppings. The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend Aroma Restaurant to anyone looking for great food and a delightful dining experience!

We had breakfast here & the food was good. The Xiu Mai (Vietnamese meatballs) were a particularly tasty dish, according to my partner. My order was the Buddah bowl, also good, very healthy dish, with edamame, beetroot homous, tomatoes, spinach, avocado etc. Fresh ingredients & generous serves. Service a little slow, but they were busy

I just had the Beef Stew (Bo Kho) at Verandah on Racecourse and it was an exceptional experience. I added an extra serve of rice with hot sauce and ordered a chocolate with Taro. The portion is generous and the combination of flavours gives it an interesting sense of authenticity. If you’re looking for a breakfast that is more than your standard bacon and eggs, this is a great option if you’re in Hamilton. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant and fresh.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My partner and I ate here on a Saturday night. Our food was delicious and fresh! I had the vegetarian fried rice and it was so good; I absolutely devoured it! My partner had a chicken pho, his favourite Vietnamese dish, and he really enjoyed it. We both stuffed our faces as it was SO yummy! Fabulous and fresh, the loveliest staff, and of course, the most beautiful restaurant on Racecourse Road! Oh, and they have wonderful live music. So 10/10. Love this plac

A great place to grab dinner. Menu is good. Food is served quickly and tastes great. The pizzas are surprisingly filling. Chicken Parmigiana is very, very good. Dinner serving sizes are great. Atmosphere is great. During my two dinners, sports (NFL – Jan 2025) were shown on the multiple TV screens. The dining area is clean. Toilets are clean also. I would definitely eat here again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We have just had Gallopers Xmas lunch. I can’t say anything, but it was a gastronomic delight. The freshest seafood, perfectly roasted meats and salads to tatilise your tastbuds all accompanied by an aray of every vegetable you can think of. Not to mention the work of the pastry chef, which was an art form. Well done to all the chefs. I understand this was the first time at gallopers. Can’t believe it. Felt like you had perfected this over many years.

This place is a straight 10… Best steak sandwich in brisbane. Service is always off tap and the ambiance is something I could only hope my funeral reflects.
