    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.

    The view from The Terrace is beautiful. The decor is lovely and the drinks menu have lots of great choices. The biggest negative was the volume of the music. It was well above conversation level. It did not help we were seated beneath a speaker. I would not recommend for a dinner if you wanted to chat.
