Had a mini party to celebrate my friend's birthday in a group of five. Lay-out done up very grand and we can imagine how joyful to dine in at night with nice river view and beautiful interior deco. Ordered the seafood platter and Goose + Duck pate to share. Seafood platter came in with spectacular portion, they are "fresh, fresh & fresh", pata is soft and rich in flavour which perfectly matched with the toasted brioche (of course we had to order extra piece for five of us). Mains of Lamb Shoulder and Murray Cod were good jobs as well. Murray Cod should be hero of the day, the carmalised skin and perfectly cooked whole fish with juicy meat and well balanced condiments deserved...
My mum and I enjoy our Easter Sunday lunch at the Blackbird restaurant. I did not make a reservation as I was not sure our arrival time. We arrived half hour before opening time and waited patiently for the restaurant to open. The hostess was very friendly and courteous. She gave us the good news that we would be able to dine in at 12 noon and led us to a table with great panoramic view of the river and Story Bridge. A lovely staff took our orders for drinks, starters and main menu. I could not believe when I sampled one of the starters, WA Kingfish carpaccio w toasted Macadamia, toasts herbs desert lime. The fish was so thin and tender, it melted in my mouth. The sauce blended well with the...

If meat is your thing - this has to be one (if not) the best in Brisbane. It attracts the prices of Eagle Street dining, but that is justified by the ambiance, layout, service and of-course, view.
If you are going in a party of 3 - i suggest getting the lamb shoulder which i found perfect for 3 ( tried with 2 people and couldn't finish) and then grab a few sides and drinks and you wont be shocked at the bill at the end of the night.
If it is a special occasion - the seafood platter is a must try for an entree (times it by the people at the table so you all get equal amount), and after trying a few of the steak's I don't think you can pick a bad one. I chose the tomahawk. 10/10. Get a...

The ambience of the actual restaurant was good, with a somewhat good view of the story bridge. The food was good but inconsistent - my steak, the Black Angus Scotch, was cooked well but my friend's Black Angus Sirloin was undercooked. We also got the Pork Belly and the serving was much smaller than expected, the crackling was soft. For the sides, we got fries and baked potato which were average. Food was not really worth the price, you can probably get similar food at a lower price elsewhere.
The staff weren't very friendly, perhaps because we were younger than the general customer. And even though we made a booking, we had to wait another 40 minutes after our booking time before we could...

The bar and casual dining area are a great place to hang out. Great views to the city and cosy atmosphere. Great on the weekends with good music as well.
The resteraunt offers a fine dining expwrience, away from the hustle and bustle of the bar side of things. Its been decorated well and has great views to the story bridge. The staff are friendly and welcoming and offer a good service.
They do the meats well and are a great place to come back. The share meals are large enough and cam be shared between 3 people. The flavours are done well and presentation is good too.
Overall a good experience.
Pretty good but not great. Good location with a great bar overlooking the river. My meal was ok but my wife's was very nice (sorry cant recall what she had). Considering the price I expected better and you will find better in Brisbane
Have been here three times all special occasions Each time I have eaten steak The restaurant has a beautiful view, and ambiance is second to none.

Fabulous dinner. The ambience, view, service and food were all first class. The oysters were fresh and the lamb was very well done.
Dined here with my family when we were visiting AustraliaGreat place for a view of the Story Bridge.
