The beef steaks we had were delicious, though I was surprised to have it cut into strips. I'm used to having steak served uncut. The salad was fresh. The fries were crispy. I wish the cauliflower mac n' cheese had a little more seasoning. Our server was attentive even though he had a number of tables. He made sure to top off our wine when we were running low and to check in throughout the meal. I liked the velvet booths. While they have an elevator you can take, the stairs are worth taking for the fun decorations. Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator.
Food was absolutely fantastic, but as with other reviews we read before deciding to eat here, we found the service to be a little too slow for our liking. Once we were seated it took around 15mins for someone to ask if we wanted drinks, then another 20 before the drinks arrived. I tried to flag down one of the staff to ask for another drink but they never returned to the table after acknowledging that they had seen me. When we finally did order a second drink it took around 15mins to arrive, a little long for a simple Rum & Coke. After eating, we had one of the waitstaff come past our table about 4 times before I managed to catch up with her and ask for the bill so we could pay and leave. Ended up leaving cash so we didn't have to wait for someone to collect and process a card transaction. This place appears to be quite upmarket, and the prices and quality of food reflect that, but the service game needs to be picked up quite a bit.
Nice place, amazing dinner experience tonight. Ordered Wagyu, seafood platters, free range pork belly, buttermilk quail and creamy potato. We are satisfied about food and service. The staff are excellent. Thanks for letting us have a perfect dinner tonight.
It's been a long time since my taste buds got so excited about the food creations placed in front of me. The spanner crab dish I had was inspiring to look at and the excitement my taste buds enjoyed. That was my favourite dish but a couldn't fault any of the dishes we had. We went twice in 4 days because we enjoyed the whole experience of Blackbird including the service Kickey the assistant manager was great and gave good recommendations. We'll be coming back to Blackbird when we are next in Brisbane.
We had the tenderloin equivalent to eye fillet. Done to perfection for both of us. A little sinewy in parts but extremely tender. Sides were leafy greens just lettuce with dressing..wouldn't choose this side again as it was just lettuce with dressing for $14, green beans delicious and macaroni cauliflower cheese lovely but not enough cauliflower. Great location and view of the story bridge. Waitress Chloe? was wonderful & went above and beyond, especially when I changed my mind about an ingredient in my Margarita & she raced to get it changed for me.
We enjoyed a delicious steak meal at this restaurant, complete with a coleslaw and a sauce of our choice. We also ordered sides to share, which were more than enough for two or three people. The veggie sides were particularly tasty. The staff were attentive and helpful, and the restaurant itself was attractive and a great spot for a romantic meal despite being a bit noisy.
We really enjoyed the wagyu and hanger steaks. The wagyu was especially flavoursome and tender. The view overlooking the bridge is pretty special at night and service here is always attentive. Highly recommend the baked Dutch Cream potatoes, as a side. Runner beans, also. The fries are pretty good but not as memorable.
Visited this restaurant on a Sunday night without reservation as it was highly rated 4,5 stars on average with 1942 reviews hence expectations have also been set pretty high - unfortunately they couldn't be met at all. I gave the 300 grams Warwick Farms Black Angus Flank Steak priced at 63 AUD along with the roasted carrots ginger beer glaze, walnut crumbs priced at 14 AUD a try. Steak was requested at medium-rare and was served at medium-well at best and hence rejected by me. The 2nd attempt was better but still not exactly at the requested cooking stage and the meat wasn't of great quality either. The level of attendance from the staff was not there after my complaint - until I finished the meal. Unless stated in the menu online there is a 10% surcharge on Sundays and 15% on public holidays.
Beautiful restaurant with an amazing view! Great service and very good food and wine. Perfect spot for date night.
Decent hanger Wagyu, the crab meat entree was nice as was finishing up with the white chocolate parfait and flat white. I’d probably skip the sides - mushrooms, fries, lettuce and string beans were quite standard.
