BlackBird Bar & Grill - Brisbane

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 dish. I had a heaven on earth experience. We enjoyed our very juicy and tender steak with creamy mushroom sauce as well as chips and salads. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. We love the delicious food, the great services and awesome atmosphere. I would like to come back again in the future and would highly recommend the Blackbird restaurant to everyone who enjoys a fine dining experience.

Booked a table for my partner and I for his birthday and we had a magnificent time. The staff were very professional and accommodating from the time we walked in from outside, being shown to our table, the wait staff at the table and by all the staff as we were leaving. The food was brilliant by far the best wagyu I have ever had. We both had sides, mains and martinis and bill was just shy of $140.00 brilliantly priced with food to die for. The atmosphere was great, the decor was even better and the staff were the best. Tables were cleared quickly and drinks were topped up just about after every sip. Absolutely loved it and will most definitely be back.

Had cocktails at the bar and diner after that, last Thursday at Blackbird for a very special occasion, as my parents came over to visit me from the Netherlands. Although the staff couldn't promise me a bridge-view-table when making the reservation, we ended up at an excellent table WITH the full bridge-view after all. I'm very sorry to have forgotten the name of our waiter, because he was absolutely marvellous (a tall, beautifully bald man). He was clearly informed about the importance for me of having my parents here and he treated them as if they were royalty, absolute class all around. The food and the wine was, as expected, absolutely excellent. The staff was awesome all around. Thanks again to our excellent waiter. My parents had a magical night and they were absolutely overwhelmed by your friendly service. You made it an experience they will never forget. Thank you so much.

Wow 10 of us went for my husbands birthday. The place was very busy as you would expect on a Saturday night. Our table was in a great position with the Story bridge in the back ground. Food was beautiful we had a hiccup but was very quickly fixed and well and truly compensated for. The main was gorgeous I had the suckling pork just melted in your mouth. The fish was beautiful and everyone else had steak which they were all happy with. Drinks were brought in a timely manner and cocktails were tasty and very different from the norm. We finished off the night with a birthday cake served with ice-cream. We loved the place so happy we chose it for a very special occasion. Thanks to the lovely staff even thought they were rushed off there feet.

Had lunch at Blackbird today. Steak was exceptional, service absolutely fantastic, wine list superb. The professionalism and knowledge of all staff we had contact with was first rate. Thank you
