Came here with a group of friends for a degustation dinner and all I can say is 'wow'. It was small and cosy. The food was amazing, one course after another. I love the crab soufflé and the scallops with truffle. It was also my first time tasting the foie gras and blue cheese and I have to say, it was pretty good. I would definitely come back, hopefully soon!

My impressions were that this place is loved by its regulars die to their exceptional customer service. They truly go above and beyond to make sure that patrons are happy and they seemed very flexible. I had the degustation menu. I honestly wasn't blown away like I had hoped to be. Simpler flavors would have been better. I must say though that the creme brûlée was Devine. The lamb rack was also pretty fantastic but not big enough of a portion.

We have been going to Montrachet for years, under the previous management/chef and loved it. This was our first experience with the new Chef, Shannon. The food was good, most dishes as good as they were with Thierry previously though probably not good enough to justify the prices, but the we were shocked to have visit from Shannon who quite aggressively defended the cracked plate we had complained about, and the music. Apparently it wasn't cracked, but hand made and the scar was deliberate in some way (could have fooled me). What happened to 'the customer is always right', even if they aren't?! Never mind, Brisbane is full of fabulous restaurants these days so we can go else where and you might want to consider the same.
