Maybe we went on an off day as I have seen great reviews but all four of us could hardly eat our meals they were so terrible. Ended up taking it home for the dog (don't think he was very excited either).

Approximate cost: $18

For an intimate special night out this can't be beaten - small range of dishes but seasonal and superb. Have the ragu if it's available. The wine list too is huge - from reasonable price to ouch-that-hurts prices - but even the cheap is real quality.

Approximate cost: $30

Some of the best italian outside of Italy in our opinion - also plenty of choices for vegetarians which is a nice change. Their mushroom bruschetta was divine. Met the owner in passing and you can tell why the staff are happy and the service is great. Can't wait to go back.

Approximate cost: $20

Stay was okay as always (we stay there each hear for proximity to the V music festival). But their in house drycleaners ruined (a tear about 20cm) my partner's business suit, eleven weeks and a lot of run around later I still have no resolution to this which is appalling service for a "five star resort". Looking for somewhere else to stay next year

I wish I could use offensive language in this review as it's pretty much the most appropriate way to describe the terrible food, offhand service and general all around horrible experience this restaurant offered. Interestingly the table next to us was complaining about their meal as well so it wasn't just us. Plus if you're going to hit diners with a surcharge for the dubious pleasure of your terrible service on a Sunday, at least have the courtesy to list it on your menu rather than just stick it on the bill.

One of the best ranges of Thai anywhere in Brisbane - even the Thai Travel Bureau has given them the stamp of approval as authentic thai cuisine. Use really good quality ingredients, you can get take away, delivery or eat in their cute 100 year old corner shop location,

Approximate cost: $14

Start with a strawberry margarita and the fundido cheese dip and it just gets better from there. Great reasonably priced mexican food with an extensive range and the best service. They do take away too.

Approximate cost: $17

One of the best indian restaurants in town - a fabulous range of dishes rather than the standard curries you find elsewhere (although they have those as well for the traditionalists). Great poppadums and their coconut rice is a wonderful side. Try the chicken with 5 spices.

Approximate cost: $20

This is Lifeline's designer and high quality store - all clothes are ironed and cleaned and ready to wear just like a boutique. pricing can be odd - something from Suzanne Grey for example can be more than an italian label like Fendi, and always double check that they haven't missed any stains, rips or tears in their sorting process.

This is modern asian fusion cuisine at its best - some chinese, some indian, some thai, some malay - all the flavours from the near and far east with a great range. Their cocktails and wine list are also fantastic.
