A very unwelcome/rude "welcome" from the staff member who greeted us. Such a shame. Why is it that covid seems to have eradicated a pleasant greeting when dining out? It is not impossible to speak respectfully. The ambience was shot to pieces after that.
Awesome food. You must try the white chocolate mousse, OMG
Had dinner and breakfast
Disappointing
Big portions
Poor service - order mistakes, staff seem in a hurry to get your order, but then food slow to arrive
Had high hopes but really not very special
Hi Adam. Thank you sharing your honest feedback. We certainly pride ourselves on our generous portions and friendly, attentive service. It is disheartening however to hear that we missed the mark on both your recent breakfast and dinner with us. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your experience further in detail so we may improve. If this would interest you, please contact the team at threeblueducks.brisbane@whotels.comm. We hope to hear from you soon.
Great food, great service, great food. Will go again.
Thanks for the 5 stars and kind comments! We are currently making seasonal changes to the menu and can’t wait to share. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Perfect combination of wonderful food and service in an ambient setting, definitely recommend
Thanks for the stellar review DonnaC! We certainly enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back again soon.
It was very easy to get to, roomy and lovely view inside and out. It was my son Patrick Gilligan’s 24th birthday and he chose this restaurant. We were very impressed with his selection.
Thanks for the 5 stars! We are stoked that Patrick enjoyed his birthday dinner and that the restaurant ambience and stellar Brissy river views were a stand out. We hope to see you for the next special occasion!
Great value for money- there were morton bay bugs and oysters available for the same price, all the dishes were unique and tasty and the service was outstanding. Very generous portions! Thank you Three blue ducks for the great food. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the great review SharonW. We are are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the menu and portions. We certainly enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Lovely lunch with great food. I'd definitely go again.
Thanks for the 5 stars GinaM! Hope to see you around again soon.

I was there with another who likes food with a bit more salt but they could not eat the food either...I like little salt but the food was way toooo salty...we wont be regulars anymore..AWFUL FOOD for $180...that we didnt eat!!
Hi Tracey, Thank you for reaching out with your honest feedback; without it we couldn’t improve! While we appreciate and are glad to hear you have been a Ducks regular before now; it is disappointing to learn that our food quality was not up to par on your recent visit. We would very much appreciate the opportunity to discuss this with you further. We ask that you contact us directly on threeblueducks.brisbane@whotels.comm. We hope to speak with you soon.
Absolutely delicious food, generous servings, mopped up every single drop of every sensational sauce. A wonderful dining experience.
Thanks for the review! We are stoked to hear that the menu and sauce was a hit. We are currently making slight seasonal updates to the menu and can’t wait to share! We hope to see you again soon.
Delicious food. Great service. A lovely place to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.
Thanks for the great review JacksonC! Congrats on your special occasion and we hope to welcome you again soon.
The food is not expected, does not taste good from entry meal to dessert.
Great service and the worst food I have ever eaten at a restaurant. Frozen steak that was microwaved and had freezing bits, all the food is microwaved or out of a can
Went for the VDay meal with matched wines, they brought the food out so fast we only got our first wine, they didn’t offer the second wine and put dinner in front of us with the third wine. I complained cause I wanted to finish the wine that came with the first meal before we started the third meal but there was no choice, it was all so rushed. Told them to disregard the matched wines as it was pointless. Then they still tried to charge us for the wines. Food was delicious and amazing but the service ruined it for us. Left feeling disappointed and rushed.
Fresh, fun food and atmosphere. The flavours in our meals were absolutely amazing! I'd highly recommend and cannot wait to try it again.
Thanks for the 5 stars! We are stoked that you enjoyed the menu flavours and restaurant ambience. Hope to see you around again soon!
Excellent food and location. Well thought and put together meals.
Thanks for sharing your lovely feedback EugeneS! We will be sure to pass on your comments to the team and look forward to seeing you next time.
We have dined here several times over the years. This time felt different.
The service was not as good as the other times we have been here.
The food was great which made up for the lacklustre service.
The food was great, loved the view and was seated on the side near waiter station. So was like a lil private spot and was quieter. Had a lovely staff waiter, unfortunately forgot his name, apologies for that. He recommended great dishes. Will definitely recommend to our friends.
Thanks for the great review StellaC! It’s awesome to hear you enjoyed the restaurant ambience and service. We will be sure to pass on your praise to your waiter on the day. Can’t wait to see you and welcome your friends to the Brissy location soon!
The service and view were fantastic! The food was good, however, the roast potatoes were not fresh (they were chewy like they had sat out for a couple of hours), and I expected absolutely delicious fresh food.
I understand having a set menu (where you choose 2/3 courses for ease), however this should not be to the detriment of the freshness or quality of food.
Thanks for your honest feedback! Although we are delighted to hear the service and stellar view of the Brissy river were a stand out for you, we are disheartened to hear that the food did not live up to the standard we hold for ourselves. We take all comments seriously we will be sure to pass this on to our kitchen team to review. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you next time!
We had dinner and the food and service was great. The guys received a tip as we enjoyed it muchly. We were a little disappointed with the breakfast the next day as the guys we a little slow on service but it looked like they were a little under staff but still very polite
Thanks for the 5 stars FrancescoP! Although we are disheartened to hear that breakfast fell short on this occasion, we are stoked to hear that dinner was a hit! We take all feedback seriously and will certainly be reviewing our breakfast to ensure sufficient service time across the board. Thanks again and we hope to see you back soon!
Knowledgeable staff member.
Great food and quality
Thanks SunaF, we are thrilled to hear of your 5 star experience! Looking forward to welcoming you again soon.
I have a family member who works in the kitchen and came because of her.
I loved my time at the three blue ducks
Thanks for coming to dine with us! We hope this is the first of many visits, we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Bit of a mixed review here. Was really keen to try 3 Blue Ducks, so the hype may not have help. Overall though, was 'ok.
The food is tasty - not outstanding, but consistently decent. The problem we had was there was just far too much of it. We had the three course option, but we're big eaters and still left a fair bit of food on the plate. We overheard diners on the table next to ours warning their friends about the size of the serves, so clearly not just us.
The bigger let-down was the service. Once seated, it took a fair while to be served. We ordered our three courses...and after a bit of a wait our entrees arrived. We pointed out at that point that the bread starter hadn't arrived yet (no apology, just a rushed waiter scrambling off to find the bread).
With entrees (and bread) out of the way, one of our sides arrived...but then shortly after was taken away :-/ A while later, our mains and one side (not the one that had been brought and removed) arrived...then our second side was brought back.
The rest of the meal went off without a hitch, until the bill was brought and paid - the waiter had a mild panic that he had charged us for the 2 course option instead of the 3 course. We gently pointed out that the bill was correct, and he was misreading it.
The other minor concern was the heat. We were seated inside, away from the open windows, on what was a fair warm evening. If the 3 Blue Ducks team are relying on the breeze to cool the restaurant, it doesn't work.
Like I said, all-in-all a mixed review.
Beautiful views, delicious food and generous portions! Amazing service. Can’t fault it.
Thanks for the 5 stars! Amazing service, delicious food, generous portions and stellar surroundings is what we hope you experience in all of the Ducks locations. We certainty enjoyed reading your experience and hope to see you around again soon!
Great food, great service, great view. Three Blue Ducks was a amazing dinner out and I can not speak highly enough for the team there. I also have to mention the generous portions, top class food but with home style portions. Great place and I will visit again.
Thanks for the stellar review MichaelD! We are stoked to hear that you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you around again soon.
From the moment we walked in the door the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.
Our waiter was outstanding, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was presented nicely and great value for money and the entire experience was wonderful.
Will definitely go back for a special occasion or date night. Loved the experience, thank you to all the staff for making our night so great.
Glad to hear of your 5 star visit PeteM! We are stoked that the team were able to compliment the menu and provide you with a memorable night. We will definitely pass on your review to the team and can’t wait to celebrate the next special occasion with you!
The food was delicious but there was far too much of it.
Thanks for the review Jess. While our portion sizes are definitely generous; we’re so glad to know you enjoyed our fresh and flavourful dishes. We look forward to seeing you again to try more of our menu items in the future.
Great experience. Delicious food and lovely staff.
Thanks for the 5 stars! I'm thrilled you enjoyed your special celebration. Delicious food and lovely staff is what we pride ourselves on, it's awesome to hear this was a stand out for you. I will pass on your kind comments to the team and we hope to see you for the next special day!
Attentive and friendly waiter. Food was bountiful and tasty. The traffic makes it a little noisy, but it was an extremely pleasant evening overall. Would definitely return.
Hi Sarina, thanks for the five stars! We’re thrilled to hear that team was helpful and friendly; and that our generous food servings were a hit. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Unfortunately it was a really disappointing experience. I’ve been here previously and the food & service was exceptional, this latest visit was the opposite. The service was really poor other than the hostess who seated us, she was friendly and engaging. The food was well below average other than the octopus entree. Our bread was stale, quail entree overcook and both mains lacked any flavour or seasoning. The chocolate marquise was ok but the parfait was not. It was rock solid. I had really high hopes from previous experiences but it was such a disappointment, particularly at $90 per person.
Fabulous food and drinks and very generous portions. Loved the set menu options. Staff were friendly and very knowledgeable and the extras were very much appreciated. Wil ll definately be going back ❤
Thanks for the stellar review RussM! The Ducks is all about generous portions while expressing our much loved paddock to plate philosophy. We enjoyed hosting you and look forward to your next visit. See you soon!
Wonderful food and service to customers. Very clean and outstanding performance toward customers. Nice view of the river but very noisy.
Cheers for the 5 stars! We pride ourselves in our customer service and are stoked to hear this was a stand out for you. We hope to see you again soon!
For location and price atmosphere and food should be of a higher quality.
The food was good but I expected it to be very good

Excellent service, gorgeous location. We struggled a little with such a limited main selection, and some dishes having spices that weren't explained all that well in the menu and I would have preferred my roast chicken dish to be cooked a little more.
