    August is a great place for a Sunday lunch. With a house selection menu, all the effort is taken care of so sit back, relax and enjoy the delicious plates styled to share. Menu variety is spot-on and creative - offering new tastes and combinations. BYO or enjoy the great selection of international or domestic wines and beers. August offers a calm and classy ambiance with good music and engaging staff. Good job, August 👏 Looking forward to returning for dinner!

    A fantastic sophisticated, yet casual dining experience. The food was utterly divine - tasty, creative and thoughtful food. Substantial portions, exceptionally balanced flavours and an experience like no other restaurant in Brisbane. A little hidden gem.

    We had a very enjoyable Fixed Sunday Lunch - particularly enjoyed the tri tip beef main and all those interesting vegetable sides and entrees. Wine the glass complemented our meal.

    The food at August was excellent - innovative and interesting combinations of flavours. The wine we chose was reasonably priced and a good match for the food. Perhaps the menu might have indicated that most of the plates were share plates. That would have avoided some confusion! One negative was the noise level from music. The room has a great acoustic and hard surfaces and that can make life difficult. We eat with friends to talk and that was difficult until the music was reduced in volume.
