   Great setting, good service, all meals for the table should be served at the same time

   I had booked a table for 10 pax @ 7pm we arrived at about 7:05. One of my friends went to order only to be told the kitchen was closed. I was very confused as it clearly says kitchen open till 9. The staff at the counter went to talk to the kitchen after I had mentioned that we had a booking. She came out and said yes they will serve us because we had a booking. One of my Friends ordered then someone else went to order a pizza and we were told they weren’t doing pizzas. Which really doesn’t leave a lot of menu choices. It was handled extremely bad by the staff and there was clearly no one senior on. I was so embarrassed as I had booked for the 10 of us and we had to go find somewhere else to eat. So disappointed and utterly embarrassed.

   Our group of up to 20 members really enjoys our time together at Officers Mess once each month. Most also visit at other times. The position of Officers Mess on the Brisbane River is very special, great views over the grassed area to the river. We love how children are catered for with the special swing and lots of beanbags. We are amazed at how quickly and how effectively Officers Mess has recovered from the recent unexpected weather event. A great spot to enjoy beautiful views, good food, good company and welcoming atmosphere.

   We enjoyed eating outdoors in the evening with live music and all the trees all lit up made it all just so beautiful. We have never been disappointed with the food and service. Even though officers mess lost their roof recently, they have created a great outdoor area. It’s very versatile so you can either go casual with your fur baby or more smart casual - I highly recommend going.

   The officers mess is the perfect location for a relaxed lunch with family and friends. The pizzas are excellent. We will definitely be returning.

   It was my first visit and I was captivated by the location. The views are just great. The only mild irritation was it was quite windy and even though we were inside it didn't make a lot of difference. However that will not prevent a re-visit as the owners cannot control the weather. Perhaps they could have lowered a couple of the clear plastic blinds but then we could have requested that as well and didn't. The food was very good and well presented. Only 1 staff member was a bit on the off side. As a single in a party of 3 my bill for breakfast was racked up at nearly $60.00. When queried she argued with me as to what she had heard. My friend who was with me at the counter was quite adamant the cashier didn't hear what she said because I simply didn't order what she said I did which was a repeat of my friends order for 2 plus my own single order. A wee bit strange. The other staff were extremely courteous and welcoming considering I arrived about 45 minutes earlier than our booking because I mis-judged the traffic!! Overall a very pleasant way to start the morning and I am already planning to visit with another group in the New Year.

   We were a table of 7 for lunch. Half the meals were served and almost finished before the rest of the table got theirs. I had to go to the counter to let them know. The staff were welcoming and helpful however and meals were tasty.

    Sipping champagne by the river in a relaxing venue, whilst catching up with friends who also have kids, could life (this venue) get any better?
