    80th birthday. Our group of 5 ladies for the luncheon. Had the $30 lunch special. Loverly bottle of sparkiling rose. Dessert extra. Very nice. Lots of food. Gluten free also.

    The $30 lunch special was lovely but it's just part of their Monday to Friday menu.

    Amazing place - you dine in the clouds. The service was so good. The food was surprisingly good, I didn't expect that quality from the roof bar. Definitely will be back next week

    The food is very good, the location is lovely. A few more servers would assist the overall rating. While very good, there is just too much for the available staff to do, and while I know Monday lunchtime is not peak, it would have been better with another one or two staff available. We will be back.

    We waited 20 minutes for our table even though I had made my booking two month ago, and the booking has an end time window. To be honest there are better roof top bars in Brisbane so not sure I would come here again. Service matters and I did not feel like we were looked after here.
