Porterhouse to share was cooked to perfection. Service at the table was excellent. Service at the bar was poor. We had to move from our table to eat our desserts at the bar as we exceeded the two hours seating, felt ripped off given the bill size.

Their speciality, the porterhouse steak, was indeed very good. The prawn cocktail was just weird, the calamari uninspiring, and so on.. A nicely networked team effort from the staff provided great service and the ambiance was palpable. The New York inspired steak may well be their saving grace, but the American influence is left wanting on the rest of the menu, but for a piece of cheesecake maybe.

When booked I advised my wife had an allergy to garlic - our waiter came up and straight away went through the menu - a sign of a good restaurant when they take note and are flexible. A bit loud for us, probably due to a few business lunches. Our steaks were spot on and plenty of flavour Excellent service.

The waitress on duty refused to give a heads up on how long we had to wait for our booking on arrival and promptly forgot about our booking as we were at the waiting area. We had to remind her and by then it was half hour past our booking time. She was not apologetic and proceeded to be quite snobbish in the way she communicated with us. Very disappointed with the level of service.

The food, service, location and ambiance at Walter’s is all 5 star and hard to top in a small city like Brisbane. However, not all costs are equal where the food was good value for the excellent quality served. The cost of an Irish coffee was a stretch unless it contained a single malt within.

It exceeded our expectations. It was just the most divine experience. We got the seafood platter to share between my mum and I (trust me, it's enough food for a main lol, especially if you plan on getting dessert), and it was unbelievable quality. Everything was so fresh and we'll cooked. We recently had prawns at a different place and they were way overcooked, these were perfect and succulent. My husband got the New York Strip and it was fantastic, perfectly cooked and seasoned. My dad got a number of entrees and sides and it was so much food, we had to take some home. Everything was just so delicious. The ambience was also really lovely. We wanted it to feel fancy, so we dressed up and it definitely made the difference. We started with cocktails in the bar and then moved into the dining room. My husband and I went to New York 2 years ago and the whole experience was definitely reminiscent of our trip. Thank you also to our waitress who was so friendly and helpful, you made our night. We'll definitely be coming back to try the shared steak.

Our waiter John was great. Some points to note though, 1) There was a really paralytic drunk guy in waiting bar harassing us, who could barely speak. Someone should have dealt with that well before he was at that level and removed him. He was intimidating guests. Your CCTV will show this. 2) The suggestion from the waiter about fresh prawns was not great. They were tasteless, and to be honest tasted as though they were previously frozen. I gave John that feedback. 3) Steak was incredible, service was great overall value for money was not too bad, however I have experienced better. I would return. Overall bill for 3 was approx $1000.

I have requested a slice of cake with a bday greeting for my partners 30th and it never came. Was disappointed as the restaurant being our favourite one out of all the steak places in Brisbane. We come here every occasion but this time it was a pretty big celebration but a simple slice of cake or dessert didn’t come through. I offered to pay for it as well. But otherwise the food was still excellent.

Honestly, experience was a bit underwhelming in regards to quality of food, value (price), noise and service. We got the steak on sizzling hot plate and it over cooked and ruined the steak by the end of the night - just for show and very overpriced. We went for birthday dinner and let the waiter know and he couldn’t care less. It was also difficult to flag our waiter whenever we needed him. It would’ve been easier to have gotten any waiter to serve us instead of just having one that doesn’t even notice us …. It was also incredibly hard to talk/hear in the setting of the restaurant
