TL;DR: It does have a bit of that Italian spirit, and they are one place that manages to utilise a special view right in the palm of their hands, mind you to the best that they can. The whole vibe is that it can be pretty special, yet any guest is able to come on in at any time they like. Service is pretty lovely, the food is fresh and good quality while not having an unobtainable price for most people. For breakfast, it does pretty well. If that is the bar for what the food is like later on, then a reason is here to be optimistic. <br/ <br/ To whomever managed to get a hold of the old Jetty and transform it into how it is today, so far the job being done is pretty good. Only in this part of...
Located at the end of Oxford Street in Bulimba, iL MOLO Italian Kitchen Bar is a wonderful restaurant situated just above the water. Thanks to recommendations from our local friends, we decided to have lunch here and were very happy with the service, food, and atmosphere. The restaurant was busy with many customers enjoying the warm Sunday afternoon, but we were able to get a table outside with the help of a friendly young hostess who extended the sunshade awning for us. We started off by sharing several appetizers including an antipasti board, arancini, calamari, polenta fries, and broccolini. For dessert, we indulged in affogatos and warm doughnuts with chocolate ganache and orange jelly....
I recently visited this charming restaurant for brunch on the weekend and had a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, the layout of the restaurant does not take full advantage of the river views, but we still had a nice view of the river and the nearby City Cat terminal from our table. We ordered the arancini balls and the salt and pepper calamari, both of which were delicious. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, though it can be a bit noisy. We should have parked in the underground carpark beneath the restaurant. Overall, the experience was good, but we were a little disappointed to find that we were charged more for our drinks than the menu price. The prices were a bit high in general, b...
We came for lunch and the service started slow. We sat for too long with closed menus wondering when we would be asked for a drinks and food order and the drinks were then slow to come but the waitress recognised this and was apologetic. In fact, service from her was fantastic. The food came in reasonable time and service speed seemed to pick up as the restaurant emptied out. The crumbed olives were a highlight for me. They were really tasty. I had fish of the day for mains which was barramundi. The grilled zucchini and pepperonata was cold which apparently was intended but with a hot piece of fish sitting on top of it I think it would have been better hot. Despite that it was a lovely meal....

After the brekkie at the Riverbend Cafe, I liked to explore this suburb more so drove down to the bottom of Oxford Street. When I saw this restaurant, I felt like to sit at the restaurant and looked across the other end of the river, Therefore, I walked in and asked the wait-staff if I could just have a cup of coffee. The result was that I was sincerely served at a position that I could enjoy the view. Thanks for the enjoyable moment that I could have my coffee while I was enjoying the peaceful and spectacular view, particularly the coffee was smooth and strong. I would definitely go back to explore the meals that they served. It ought to be a nice Italian restaurant.
I dined here for a late lunch with 2 others on the Ekka public holiday. It's a very attractive venue in a nice riverside location. The initial service was a little slow, and our friendly waitress explained that they were down one staff member. I had the Olive Ripieni for Antipasti, followed by the Oceano pizza for my main course. Both courses were delicious. The salsa verde gave some extra interest to the pizza. It would have been nice if a second drinks service had been offered. I finished off with a very smooth long black, followed by a walk along the river. We'll be back!
We had been wanting to visit this café by the river in Bulimba ever since it got new management. We finally went over the weekend and were pleasantly surprised. The menu is concise yet offers high-quality, fresh, and tasty dishes. I ordered the avocado toast, which came in a generous portion on sourdough bread with plenty of herbs and salty feta that paired well with the sweetness of the basil. The coffee was also excellent, well-presented, but I recommend requesting a double shot if you like a stronger coffee flavor.
We had a great experience with good food, wine and a beautiful view over the river. Even when we arrived way later than normal dinner time staff was very welcoming and accommodating and went above and beyond to provide exceptional service.

What can I say. A stunning location on the waterfront with beautiful Italian food. I had the Pesce Del Giorno and it was fresh and delicious, certainly coming back now I've found this great spot.
