NOTA - Brisbane

Superb meal and impeccable service . We had the chefs menu so a bit of everything and all presented and cooked to perfection. We will be back .

Very good. Go there. Enjoy NOTA for what it is. Casual relaxed, great food

Food is impressive, but the service and atmosphere are severely lacking. We were placed on the bar, which is never a good place to start, and there was an extremely large and loud table commanding the attention of the entire restaurant all evening.

The service was almost non-existent from the floor staff, however credit to the chef who appeared occasionally and redeemed the experience somewhat.

For the price, there’s simply a magnitude of places that offer a much more refined fine dining experience. I don’t see myself visiting again anytime soon.

Great spot for a lovely night out, feels very special but not precious.

Servicerated okay as apart from slow they were friendly and accommodating. Food was as if the chef wasn't working! There was overcooked food, strange food pairings, sugar in the pasta sauce. Gluten free (which we informed upon booking) was accommodated in so much as the gluten containing item was simply omitted - no gluten free bread or gnocchi to replace that which the standard serving received.

Our server was Ben, exceptional knowledge and professional we will be back

Absolutely beautiful food and wine, impeccable friendly service, could not fault a single thing!

Second time doing the degustation and just as impressive as the first. Absolutely delicious, if anything too much food. Couldn't fault it and will be back! Would be in my top restaurants in Brisbane easily.

Great service, generous portions and delicious food.

Fabulous service, beautiful food,
lovely wines and gorgeous ambience.
Everyone at our table of six enjoyed our evening at Nota. My companions particularly loved the desserts.

Food was delicious. I felt relaxed the whole way whilst the waiters took care of us.

great service, perfect food, intimate setting - just as we like it

Excellent service and fantastic food. Look forward to coming back again.

NOTA is at the top of our favourite local restaurants. The food is always spectacular, the service second to none and has great ambience. The staff are always really attentive and have excellent knowledge of the wine list. A great venue all round - we love it.

Superb food and a good ambiance.
Will definitely return.

Food was overpriced for what it was. Steak was very fatty. Starters were really good though.

Great little place. Food was cooked to order and some great choices on the menu. Interesting wine list, plenty of choice by the bottle or glass.
Service was excellent.

Has to be the best food and cocktails we have had in years. Visited NOTA for lunch on a Friday and the service was perfect, very friendly. Highly recommend the market fish, Black Onyx and broccolini. The NOTA Sour was by far the best cocktail I have ever had!

We were greeted with a friendly smile and treated to amazing service throughout the night. We had the chefs tasting menu and it was amazing and absolutely perfect portions that left us more than satisfied at the end of the night. Would definitely go back again.

Nota was lovely, we booked early to avoid the rush.

We had a wonderful dinner at Nota in December 2020. We started with a Negroni which was perfectly made. The burrata with tomato and strawberry salad was outstanding, as was the reef fish ravioli in a bisque. The Moreton Bay bugs, which were a special at the time, were delicious, but I'm afraid the bug meat didn't have that ideal texture and integrity that I associate with the MBB. Don't get me wrong, it was still so yummy, but I was just sad that the meat was a bit soft so I couldn't get it all out of the shell! The tiramisu, which is my favourite dessert, was 11/10. The staff provided the best service I've received in Brisbane in two years. Fabulous restaurant!

I love this place. Everything about it. The food is delicious. There’s lots of French technique in the cooking but nothing is over the top. I have gone back to this place just for their peppercorn sauce. Same with the service - wonderfully down time earth, often with a great sense of humour, but always on point with their knowledge and attention. I have been back multiple times now and it’s always great. Nota is my #1 Brisbane restaurant.

The food was lovely and the service outstanding! Our only issue was that the mains were too big to allow for dessert!

Beautiful food, amazing attentive service. Will definitely be back.

Intimate, personal, delicious food and wine. A really simple yet lovely night out.

A restaurant of real quality and genuine authenticity. The food is a delight. Staff are fabulous. Service is excellent. One of my favorite places! And Barman Ben mixes up the best Old Fashion in the world!

Looking forward to the next time.

One of the best fine dining restaurant in Brisbane. The food and drinks are amazing! The atmosphere was cozy and friendly as always.

Service, Food, Wine list and cocktails are outstanding! Honestly Paddington locals are living their best life with NOTA in the neighborhood!

NOTA is a charming and intimate boutique restaurant. We had a wonderful evening feasting off a high-quality menu which showcased innovative flavours, an excellent wine list and incredibly attentive service. We look forward to heading back there soon!

Lovely food, but the price point seemed a little steep compared to the finesse of the food.

Hadn't been to Nota before - great find. Excellent food, beautifully presented. Great service. Highly recommended.

Usually I don't like eating at the bar, but it was a terrific experience. Great service and outstanding food. Nota is a special place. Highly recommend.

Hesitant to try it out at first, I conclude that this place is well underrated. The ambiance is nice, nothing really stands out which is perhaps just as well. The food, however, is superb. Well above what we expected and a worthy sparring partner to the better Brisbane restaurants/bistro's such as Montrachet or La Chach a Vin.

The service was well beyond excellent, a Maitre'D who recommends good wines and also knows how to pour a G&T. Plating is good, no too much of the superfluous dead vegetation. Flavours are delicate, care is taken in the preparation and looks without too much pretence.

Perhaps......at least one of the dishes portion size exceeds an entree size....but we are now splitting hairs as in, complaining about too much food....

Will most definately be back and there is a good chance this will become my new local

Exceptional food and brilliant service. Exceeded expectations. Say at the bar. Loved it. Will be back.

Beautiful meal, good selection from the menu, friendly, happy staff, very engaging. Drinks menu was good as well, NOTA Signature Cocktail was prefect. The only disappointment was due to COVID and spreading out, meant we had to sit at the bar and eat, ok if your one of the cool kids but I like a table and somewhere to put my legs. That aside great meal, great night very happy, thank you NOTA.

Waitress very good, food above average , wine selection good. Ambiance a little difficult with current Covid rules . All up I was very happy with the experience.

Wonderful service and beautiful wine. Food was mostly fried or very oily. Not comparable to restaurants with similar ratings or prices.

First time dining at Nota, on a Friday night. Ordered the chef's special, 65$pp with a request of no pork. Perfectly cooked scallops and delicious fish sambos to start followed by a fresh tomato and strawberry bruschetta - we liked this so much my wife has found a recipe and we have had for lunch the last two days. Mains were agnolotti and lamb loin, both perfectly cooked and great portion size. Dessert was a yummy berry crumble. Friendly, attentive and informative wait staff meant this was a perfect night out. Thanks guys!

Had a fantastic night out with the hubby - could have been anywhere in the world. Food, drinks, service and atmosphere all fantastic.

Delicious food. The fish sandwich entre is a fav. We'll be back
