    Isodora and her fellow team members, (a lovely young man, whose name I didn't get), demonstrated wonderful customer service. They were attentive, intuitive and friendly. We were hosting interstate guests and The Terrace was a perfect environment to showcase Brisbane at sundown. We did find the music a little too loud.. perhaps consideration should be given to having one side of the Terrace with speakers on, and the other with speakers off... We loved taking in the view, and watching all the beautiful young things party. Great experience. Thank you.

    We've made the terrace our regular place to enjoy a wonderful meal before going to a Qpac show. The staff are very personable. Great atmosphere and makes for a lovely night out.

    We went here for my daughter’s 18th birthday. Family dinner. It was a great place for her to go to experience an upmarket establishment. We enjoyed some amazing cocktails and shared some grazing plates. The service was attentive yet not overbearing. I would definitely recommend and would come back again.

    Lovely food, albeit a bit on the expensive side for what it is. The view is great and the location pretty nice, but the service wasn't up to scratch. Given that there were only a few people there on a Monday lunch, it would have been nice to have been offered a second drink or the plates to have been cleaned away without having to ask. On the plus side, there's not many places open for Monday lunch, so they've got that going for them at least!

    It's all worth it, food delicious, good view, reasonable price, the only feedback i have is about cocktails both were strong on liquor you couldn't enjoy the taste of the cocktail itself, perhaps good for party ambience, not as much for a dinner
