My mum and I enjoy our Easter Sunday lunch at the Blackbird restaurant. I did not make a reservation as I was not sure our arrival time. We arrived half hour before opening time and waited patiently for the restaurant to open. The hostess was very friendly and courteous. She gave us the good news that we would be able to dine in at 12 noon and led us to a table with great panoramic view of the river and Story Bridge. A lovely staff took our orders for drinks, starters and main menu. I could not believe when I sampled one of the starters, WA Kingfish carpaccio w toasted Macadamia, toasts herbs + desert lime. The fish was so thin and tender, it melted in my mouth. The sauce blended well with the dish. I had a heaven on earth experience. We enjoyed our very juicy and tender steak with creamy mushroom sauce as well as chips and salads. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. We love the delicious food, the great services and awesome atmosphere. I would like to come back again in the future and would highly recommend the Blackbird restaurant to everyone who enjoys a fine dining experience.
Booked a table for my partner and I for his birthday and we had a magnificent time. The staff were very professional and accommodating from the time we walked in from outside, being shown to our table, the wait staff at the table and by all the staff as we were leaving. The food was brilliant - by far the best wagyu I have ever had. We both had sides, mains and martinis and bill was just shy of $140.00 - brilliantly priced with food to die for. The atmosphere was great, the decor was even better and the staff were the best. Tables were cleared quickly and drinks were topped up just about after every sip. Absolutely loved it and will most definitely be back.
The wood grilled beef was delicious and tender, and the assorted dessert plate was so lovely and refreshing !! Service was excellent and the view was outstanding!! We would defenitely come back here again. Thank you.
The food and service was very good. It started out a lovely night being able to talk to people easily and then a massive group came in who were shouting which was just irritating. Couldn’t even hear myself think. The meat was nicely cooked and tender, fries were great and the salad and beans were fresh and delicious.
We tried blackbird on recommendation. We decided on the degustation and weren't disappointed. The swordfish was the absolute standout dish with perfect balance. The highly marbled F1 Wagyu scotch fillet paired with a peppery shiraz was a close second favourite. Well worth a visit to blackbird. Beautiful food in a beautiful setting.
Had an incredible time there, food was amazing and the waiter was down to earth and always ready to be of service. Will definitely come back again (:
Really yummy steaks with good recommendations from the knowledgeable staff. The Angus was a perfect medium rare and such great value. The potatoes in Dutch cream was lovely too. Good bread and wine to top off a lovely dinner overlooking the bridge.
Last Wednesday, I had the privilege of being invited to an exclusive dinner at Black Bird Bar and Grill. The theme of the dinner was The Farmer, The Chef and The Winemaker and it was an unbelievably opulent night of gastronomical indulgence. . Being seated in the private function room, our eyes were first to feast on the breathtaking views of the Brisbane River and Storey Bridge. As a long table event, I was really pleased to have great company of a few good friends that night.
Only had a beer here but really good view, the bartender was friendly, atmosphere was really good. The menu was abit small and price were a bit high for bar food.
First time at Blackbird for my birthday dinner with a friend. The service was friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere, and lighting wasn't too dark. The views of the bridge from the window seating were also beautiful. I had ordered the suckling pig, and my friend chose the quail. We both loved our dishes. We decided to skip entree and get another main to share. We chose the oakey black angus beef with caramelized onion sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly - medium rare to our liking. I also got a side of carrots. Very nicely done. To finish off we got the parfait. Again, nicely executed. I loved the special touch for my birthday. Would definitely recommend as a spot for a dinner date.
Great spot for both a sit down fancy meal and for after work drinks. I’ve been to the restaurant and bar and both have very different vibes. Restaurant is fine dining and great view of story bridge. Food is good but wasn’t that impressed. Bar area again has a fantastic view of bridge and staff always seem to be having fun. Great music and drinks are very affordable. I’ve had food quite a few times at the bar area too. Just standard bar food. Nothing to exciting really.
The experience of seeing the lamb shoulder carved up before The Dear Luncher's eyes was enough to result in salivation levels not seen since Pavlov's dog. But then the actual eating of said lamb resulted in near-on orgasmic delight.
The food all-round was elite. The service prompt and attentive. Blackbird is a tremendous venue for a function. The Dear Luncher will make every effort to visit again when in Brisbane next. Check out the live carve of the aforementioned lamb on the TDL Instagram.
We really enjoyed the wagyu and hanger steaks. The wagyu was especially flavoursome and tender.
The view overlooking the bridge is pretty special at night and service here is always attentive.
Highly recommend the baked Dutch Cream potatoes, as a side. Runner beans, also. The fries are pretty good but not as memorable.
Beautiful restaurant with an amazing view! Great service and very good food and wine. Perfect spot for date night.

Very nice restaurant with great views. Service was just the right balance of hands off and visiting to ensure you are good to go. The steak was cooked excellent and required zero sauce to ensure it was a 5 stars meal.
Amazing steak! Compliments to the steak chef! Cooked perfectly. Sides plenty to share. Dutch potatoes are a must. They are pre wrapped in food clay to produce perfect consistency and flavour. Running beans with feta and truffle topping just Compliments the dish. Dessert was the pavlova which was perfectly presented and a tart rhubarb sorbet within to finish off a luscious meal. Well worth the money, certainly get what you pay for. All set within a beautiful setting and a lovely view of Story Bridge. Highly recommend dining here. 5 stars from me.
Had wonderful service here celebrating my birthday. Allergies were easily accommodated.There’s also a bar to enjoy before or after.
The blackbird was an exceptional establishment, the lady staff member we had tending to our table was an absolute gem she had all our needs taken care of, just so thoughtful and had lovely suggestions for sauces and entrees, the food was next level above and beyond so we're the drinks they were just made right, all in all an excellent venue with a very very nice view at night of the story Bridge. We gave our server a $100 tip for the excellent service she had provided throughout the night, and had a few more beverages on the outdoor deck after dinner, superb.
I couldn't recommend Blackbird highly enough!! Sensational view, fabulous furnishings, great atmosphere, friendly staff. To top all that off, the food was delicious! Loved every moment
