We went there today for a High Tea. It was overpriced, uninteresting and not the "treat" a High Tea usually is. Our crockery did not match, we were offered a glass of water (not cold), the tea came in 1 teaoot for 2 people, I dont think the sandwiches were freshly made and I dont think a big spring roll and curry puff are what you would expect to be served at a High Tea. Considering it was about $92.60 for 2 (there was a cheaper option which was $10 a head cheaper, but no-one took that up), not somewhere I would go again or suggest that anyone I know try.

Approximate cost: $92.60

My husband and I love Joseph Alexander's. It's one of our favourite restaurants in Brisbane.
The food is always good even though it is expensive - it's worth it.
The last time we went we were less impressed than last time but only due to the service. I think there is a new owner or restaurant manager who was quite rude during our entire meal.
We had bought a $300 dining voucher for a friend and ended up using it ourselves because they moved overseas and his attitude when we paid was very upsetting! Even though we'd already paid them $300 for dinner - the fact that we were now using our voucher seemed to annoy him. We've been hesitant to go back since this last time but hopefully the food hasn't changed because it's always been beautiful.
The duck is a good pick as it's always fantastic!

Approximate cost: $35

The service was good and the food was very well presented. I really liked the atmosphere of this restaurant, beautiful chandliers, a piano, nice wooden Queenslander look. Very elegant yet you feel at home too. Staff was friendly. I think I had some crayfish...I am now craving for some more!
