Took my wife here for our anniversary. Thought she deserved it for putting up with me all these years.. Awesome restaurant, great service and well priced for the quality of the food. Loved it and still married. Thanks Jamie
I know this place sometimes gets a bad rap but I love it. Really nice pasta and classic Jamie dishes full of flavour. The service is reasonable but the wine list could do with an upgrade - maybe I’m just not a fan of Qld wines. All in all, good value for money and pleasant

Came here with family for a Saturday lunch. They had a special festive feast menu ($55 per person) specifically for Christmas and I had the “famous antipasti plank”, the “truffled flash steak” and the “festive dark chocolate tart”. I also managed to try the “crunchy Italian nachos”, the “famous prawn linguine” and “Jamie’s Black Forest Panna Cotta”.
Food:
Starters:
I was quite happy with my choice of starters, main and dessert. The “antipasti plank” was very tasty, had a lot of great elements (which I love!) such as the prosciutto ham, olives, sun-dried dip, salami and bocconcini cheese. Some were a bit salty such as the dip and the olives but the flavours balances out well when eaten with bread. The “crunchy Italian nachos” was quite interesting, it tasted like small pieces of fried bread but it came with pieces of chili and a spicy tomato sauce.
Main:
The truffled flash steak was amazing! Cooked to perfection and it wasn’t too heavy (not like a regular T-bone steak). It was thin with a nice, subtle chargrilled taste to it and tasted great with the portobello mushrooms and red wine sauce. The prawn linguine was average, a bit bland and there were not a lot of prawn in it. Quite disappointing considering what you are paying for it.
Dessert:
The “dark chocolate tart” was my favourite, the consistency of the dark chocolate and the biscuit base of it worked really well with the sourness of the raspberry sauce and sweetness of the ice-cream. It was a great way to end a meal with. The Panna cotta was ok, it was quite bland when eaten by itself but it jad a bit of flavour with the cranberry sauce and chocolate flakes. I wish that they would put more cranberry sauce though.
Ambiance and Service:
The environment is good for a romantic mood as it has a lot of dimmed lighting so the place is a bit dark. Staff were friendly but the food came out a bit slow, mainly because the bar is located on the second floor and the kitchen is downstairs so each waiter must go down and up stairs in order to deliver food to customers.
Overall:
The special feast menu is a good option as it is much cheaper considering that a main meal would be around $25 - $35 and an entree or dessert is $15 - $25. The proportion is excellent because you get three courses each so it is filling but it doesn’t make you feel too bloated. It was definitely worth the price (especially because I chose the steak and antipasti plank) which would have costed heaps more when ordered individually.
Went here last night to celebrate. We had the christmas menu (dinner) for two. The plank and nachos as starters, linguine and gnocchi for mains and the panna cotta and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was sooo delicious. Serving was massive too! We went out feeling like we had food triplets 😂
Enjoyed this experience greatly as food was great, nice solid italian food with a twist and staff were very friendly & engaged. All meals we ordered were delivered quickly too.

Our last minute booking was received and we arrived on time to be shown to our table towards the back of the restaurant. The fit out is interesting - a small bar area at the front with fluoro lights and chalk boards with pasta recipes, cocktail menu and specials written on them . Near where we sat there was a magnificent chandelier , a bigger bar which was also where chefs prepared the cold entrees and meat and cheese boards. We order drinks and peruse the menu. The new spring menu was full of delicious options so we chose the new additions. First up to have with our Prosecco we have the chargrilled zucchini bruschetta— so good! After that we shared a side of Brussel sprouts in a balsamic dressing with red onions. Our mains were chicken in a romesco style sauce - generous size and a baked salmon on a caprese salad base. They were both filling and looked as good as they tasted. We could not resist the sound of the desserts- Eton Mess and brownie with real chocolate sauce, ice cream and caramel popcorn - also both winners. Good value meals served by friendly and efficient staff. They are also doing Christmas parties so go try Jamie’s you’ll have a great time.
Really great experience with excellent service, and a nice value for money.
They recently started promoting Queensland Seafood so I had to drop in. I really enjoyed my Moreton Bay Bug Pasta and the arancini balls, but that amazing service really made it better.
Dessert was the best way to end it. Chocolate fudge sundaes and caramel pear w. Ricotta :) . Nice balance and afterwards we rolled out.
Really great food which was expected from Jaime Oliver, however the serving sizes were quite small for the price. Staff and restaurant itself was wonderful with a great mood created from the dimmed lights and decor. Sad that we were left feeling hungry.
This was my second time to a Jamie Oliver restaurant and it was as good as the first. The service was first class. The food was great the restaurant was like it was striate from Italy. I can't wait for this chain to come to NZ.
Now hear this.....drumroll please.....signature pasta dishes for a tenner during January!! A bunch of super keen (ie tightass) colleagues pounced on this lunch opportunity, breaking an unintentional hiatus from Jamie’s of a few years. The 3 signature pastas this week are • prawn linguine • octopus ravioli • truffle tagliatelle.
Thanks in part to the magic that is truffle, the tagliatelle was silken luxury. Handmade ribbons of perfectly al dente pasta coated with earthy, pungent black truffle butter. Add aged parmesan, shaved black truffle & some seasoning (not available on the table but provided on request)....irresistible!
By all accounts the prawn linguine was also a winner. Described as spicy & tangy (not so much garlicky as expected) and slightly larger than my tagliatelle I jealously noted. Pffft.
Potentially a tad exxy had they been full price (at $25 & $32) but GREAT value today; priced to delight the whole crew. Thanks for a fine & fast lunch!
