I love the taste of food. If they don't put the green herbs on all of the dishes, the presentation would be even better. Prawn risottos and the vege cheese dishes are my favorite.
A brief stay at the Hilton Brisbane, and decided to dine at Vintaged. A nicely refreshed menu, with a broadly appealing range and at better price points that I remember from the corporate-expense priced steaks of a few years ago. A good option if staying in house, or for a city lunch or dinner.
My partner and I came on a weekend for the amazing $49 per person entree + main + movie ticket at Elizabeth picture theater + valet parking deal. If you’re keen for a fancy upper class date night without breaking the budget this is the perfect place. Impeccable service right from the get go. Had the beef tartare for entree - was refreshing and actually reminded us of a Big Mac, although the side of potato chips it came with was questionable (think of Smith’s chips!). Then came Mains of Beef ragu papardelle - best dish of the night, full of flavor and perfect consistency of the pasta, Pork belly with greens and apple parsnip purée - well seasoned overall above average. Great selection of cocktails, tried the Svenska which was delightful. We were quite full for dessert but fitted in a blue cheese 🧀 from south Australia which was super yummy. Would love to come back for normal service.
They offer a wide range of breakfast items - from cereals, hot dishes, made-to-order eggs, fresh bread, fruits, juices and yoghurt. The staff was friendly and attentive. Keen to come back again.

Ordered:
1. Club sandwich from the bar menu - I usually order this when I want to relax at this nice Hilton hotel bar, last year it came with chips and tomato sauce, this year there was no chips and the sandwich didn't taste as good, I was a little disappointed
2. Tea - their teas are average to good, it's nice that they include a small biscuit on the side
3. Bread with 3 dips- good and filling
4. High tea - used to be my regular go to place for high tea on the weekend as they allowed walk in order, the high tea is average but for someone who loves high tea so much, the ability to walk in without pre-booking was perfect for me, this has changed this year and you will require to book in advance.
5. Desserts from the bar menu - the menu changes all the time, it can be very good sometimes and only average other times
6. Mocktails - very pretty, I normally order the passionfruit one, the flavour is quite citrus/sour
7. Steak at the restaurant side- average and can be too oily sometimes
Will I go back: yes, Hilton bar is my favourite place to relax, the atmosphere there is so good, you can just order a drink, read a book and chill
We are always on the hunt for some great steak and vintaged bar and grill came to the party. We had the 40 day dry aged 400gm op rib which was cooked to perfection👌. The strawberry milkshakes desert was amazing, so many textures and flavours that went so well together, its a must.

Been here many times, the food and drinks are great. Had the opportunity to try out their signature desert, loved it... its a desert that has large description to it, hence it is hard to remember. Absolutely loved this desert.
Great place to come back to.
Amazing food my steak was perfect! Everyone else loved their food too. Waiter Matthew was so nice really made our night. A little bit of a wait but it takes time for perfection!
My meal was the Cone Bay barramundi served with lemon and baby herbs with my choice of condiment - salmoriglio. Salmoriglio is an olive oil based sauce, and while it was beautifully concocted, I think I have chosen the wrong condiment to accompany my fish as I found it quite oily. Nevertheless, the fish was cooked to perfection with crispy skin. Mr had one of the steaks and his choice of medium was cooked perfectly. He was happy with his choice of mushroom sauce and we happily immersed our chips into the sauce.
Within the walls of the Brisbane Hilton Hotel lies Vintaged Bar and Grill, with its wooden features, high ceilings and see through glass wall wine cellar. From an event to a family gathering to your date night, here is just a perfect place to show your sophisticated side. With every season allowing for special menu that welcomes you nicely to the season you're in allows you to be able to dine here without having to order or look at the same menu again and again.

Great restaurant and Bar, attentive staff and wonderful flavours on the dishes! Rigo was very welcoming and very accommodating. Will return for sure!
My partner and I don't often do fine dinning but what a place do to do it! Exceptional service and food. Need to mention the steak in mushroom sauce. It was just divine!
Amazing breakfast at Vintaged. Normally hotel breakfasts are lack lustre but this was a high end amazing quality breakfast. All the usuals plus allot more gourmet choices. Definitely worth it.
I attended as a guest as part of a function, although I did get items from their regular menu.
Food: very tasty, well presented and technically proficient. My only gripe, the guy sitting next to me got a bigger serving - lol!
Service: attentive and unobtrusive.
Decor: modern, sleek and comforting. Chairs were a little disconcerting. We were seated in the private dining room, which has no soft surfaces ; I'd say the main dining room would be less echoey.
Verdict: quite good. Price seems a little high but not bad for a hotel restaurant. Will require additional assessment.
Perfect!
Just went in for a coffee and was blown away with the friendliness of the staff. Beautiful coffee delivered with 2 Anzac biscuits and water constantly refilled. Perfect to stop and relax away from the hustle and bustle of Queens St Mall.
Well done!!
For my main I got the 300g Sirloin Steak ($48) medium rare with Mushroom sauce. Can I just say that it was divine. The mushroom sauce was flavorsome whilst creamy and the steak was cooked just how I like it.
We also ordered potato puree ($10) and some thick cut chips ($10). I can't say it was anything special- except just as a note, the potato puree is not chunky like mashed potatoes. It was a bit like baby food (well it is a puree)
For dessert I got the Strawberry Milkshake ($17) and bloody hell this is one of the best desserts I've tasted. I'm not so much of a sweet tooth but this definitely takes the cake. It wasn't too overwhelmingly sweet which I like- but with that being said we also ordered the Valrhona Chocolate Fondant ($15). This was yummy but a bit rich for my taste. If you love chocolate, this one is definitely for you.

Dined at this one hatted restaurant on last Thursday with group of five. Lay-out is grand and spacious with opened kitchen set at reasonable distance from the dining area. Attractive point is the see-through wine cellar which makes you thinking about how a sip of wine matched with the delicious meal later on. We ordered entree individually and two shared platter of grilled meats and seafoods. We are lucky to have the Feb promotion of Figs so three of the entree involved figs and the other two were Pork Belly and Scallops. Plating is at one-hatted standard and so as the taste. I love the shared platters, particularly the pork belly and duck breast which were done perfectly. Culinary skill was showed on the grilled seafood platter, all the shell seafoods were just well done and full of juicy. I loved the peeled sand crab meat, they were so sweet. Needless to say, the desserts that we ordered must have some Figs again and I am much appreciated the Figs Tartare which is a good innovation. Thank you for such unforgettable dining experience. You definitely deserve for one-hatted.
Dined here twice durning my stay at the Hilton. Both great experiences. They were having a seasoning lamb special entree that was tender and flavorful and the salmon was simple but cooked perfectly. For lunch I had the pork chop and it was amazing - juicy, tender and lightly sweetened. Restaurant is stylish and spacious. Two thumbs up.
I was lucky enough to attend The Agrarian Table at Vintage Bar + Grill. All courses were delicious and the customer service sensational from all waitresses. We also spoke to the chef afterwards who was extremely friendly and professional.
Great food. Had an amazing meal here. Steak & service right up there though atmosphere lacking. Felt rather exposed dining near the hotel lobby. Some plants or screens wouldn't go amiss. Love the knife choice and guided tour through cellar added class.
Good, but not great. Booked dinner here with some friends after reading good reviews.
We had a quick drink in the bar before heading to our table in the restaurant.
The waitress who looked after us was helpful and friendly offering good advice about sides etc.
We all ordered entrees and main courses, ours were cooked well and tasted good, no complaints at all about the food or service, but for the money the food lacked a little something.
With so many great restaurants in Brisbane, many of which we still have to try we won't be rushing back to Vintaged.

Excellent Friendly Service. To celebrate a significant family birthday we booked a table for 9am today for 8 people at Lure on Latrobe, unfortunately we were 5 minutes late, herding that many people (aged 85years to 3months) has it's challenges. We waited outside for 5 minutes with people in front of us to be told that our booking had been crossed off! "Did we cancel" was the question, no! What had obviously happened was a group had come in a few minutes earlier and said yes to our booking. We weren't prepared to wait for 30 minutes or more outside for a table so where do we go at late notice?
The Hilton Atrium Cafe was suggested, it had been 20 years or more since we had been there and it has seen lots of changes. Arrived to find that a table for eight would have to be two round tables for four or... the delightful staff member said "lets put you in the private room". Glass walled set up for 20 it was perfect especially with a 2yo and the 3month baby in the party. One of the walls was lined with wine, there would have been a lot of long lunches in this room!
The food was excellent, great variety and quality that you would expect from a 5 star hotel, no charge for children and comparing cafe prices only a 20% premium, we could not be happier.
Like many chain hotel restaurants, it's huge, with generic decor and no atmosphere. It is not a romantic restaurant, more of a birthday/group/function place.
The service was a little amateur, but friendly and helpful, (young waiters).
The food however was brilliant, and I'd be happy to go back. Great flavours, yum!!
Good value for High Tea at $35. Overall the food was nice & above average, leading with the fluffy scones. The sandwiches was both hit & miss (salmon hit, walnut/goat cheese miss). The sweet were mostly tasty, opera was my favourite. Only improvement is a more extensive tea list, otherwise a great way to spend to afternoon with your girlfriends.
Absolutely DEE-licious!?! What a fantastic night!! A combination of amazing company, excellent food, great wine selection and an atmosphere difficult to describe but must simply be experienced!! All menu selections were thoroughly enjoyed by this group and it would be a shame for you not to try this restaurant!! Believe me, it is worth it!! The freshness of the Ozzie grown food is something I have not experienced in much of my food ventures! Glad I came in, you'll be sure to see us back soon!!

Wow. I tried out Vintaged for breakfast when I recently stayed at the refurbished Hilton. I was really impressed. Not only by the ambiance (thanks to the new fitout) but the service was spot-on, there was a fair amount of space between tables and the breakfast buffet was elaborate and fresh. Bottled smoothies to compliment freshly squeezed juice along with omelettes made to order. Even the coffee was good which is rare for a hotel restaurant. The next time that I stay in Brisbane for a long period of time, I am going to check this place out for dinner service. If breakfast is anything to judge it by, I certainly will continue to be impressed.
We go here regularly for breakfast and dinner and it never disappoints! Great food, friendly service and wonderful atmosphere!
Our steaks were cooked perfectly - requested rare for my eye fillet (centre cut) & it was def rare, not bloody and warm throughout. Attentive staff - fine dining service.
Great steak love. The steak i had was amazing. The staff and atmosphere were perfect!! Would definitely come back again!!!
Loved everything about it, the food the atmosphere and the service. We were in for breakfast buffet, pleanty Of variety to choose from even freshley cooked omelets with ur favourite fillings. Highly recommended for any visitor to Brisbane and any queenslander. If u live in Brisbane and haven't been to vintaged yet then u don't no what ur missing out on
Pleasant Atmosphere. I only had an afternoon drink in their Atrium bar enjoying it in the open air environment. Quiet pleasant.

My lovely lady friend and I decided to catch up before my Sydney break and chose to have a classy little catch up at Vintaged Bar & Grill. Vintaged is located in the Hilton on Elizabeth street. I'm always a little hesitant to eat at hotel restaurants. They can seem a little naff and stuffy. And dated. And uninspired. But when I checked out Vintaged menu online, the menu offered a lot of fresh takes of classic dishes. Plus they had a lunch deal for a main and a glass of wine for $25. A meal AND wine? Sign me up. This is the cool bar area in the lobby area of the restaurant. Once we arrived at the Hilton and made our way up to level 6, we stepped into a spacious atrium with a funky bar area. The ceilings extended high into the building, which kinda gave me vertigo when I looked up. In an awesome way. The restaurant itself sat on the other side of the lobby where the ceiling came much lower, the lighting was dark, intimate and warm. The warm space inside Vintaged. We were seated and since I was on my lunch break, we ordered straight away. We both went with the $25 lunch special as who could pass that up and the selection available was really varied! My fair dining companion chose the Bavette Steak with Creamed Potato and Young Carrots and I went with the Barbecued Ocean Trout with Tahini and Cous Cous Tabbouleh. We had a pinot noir and a sauvignon blanc from the Bay of Shoals Winery...which were delicious! I drink wine cos I'll drink anything but I very rarely can tell the difference between a $20 bottle and a $100 bottle but this wine made me actually ask after the label. So that's good. Salty capsicumy spread and char grilled bread. Yummers! Soon after we ordered, we were bought
Vintaged is a bistro style restaurant having a chef’s hat from the good food guide and it is well deserved with a wide variety of modern Australian dishes celebrating fresh ingredients such as a charcuterie selection of meats, fresh cured salmon, carpaccio of wagyu beef, lamb shoulder to share amongst friends and a selection of meats from the grill. It is a hidden restaurant as it is within the Hotel itself on the sixth floor and only does trade with people in the know missing clientele of people walking by in the Queen Street Mall.
The star of my meal was the slow-cooked lamb shoulder. This was an outstanding dish.
Dining inside the Hilton Hotel wouldn’t typically come to mind, but after my recent Vintaged Bar and Grill experience it does now. Awarded the prestigious Chef’s Hat at the 2014/2015 brisbanetimes.com.au Queensland Good Food Guide (GFG) Awards for the third time running, Vintaged Bar and Grill’s Executive Chef Jeremy Clark and Sous Chef Dario Fiorino are without doubt dedicated to food excellence. Promising fresh local produce, Vintaged Bar and Grill meats are key features on the menu and it doesn’t stop there. An impressive cabinet stocks their dry aged meat and an illuminated, Himalayan rock salt wall stands as the backdrop. Directly in front, flames dance as their fine cuts of meat are cooked in the open grill kitchen creating a culinary theatre for diners. The best seat to view the show is at the interactive Chef’s Table which is available for group bookings. Whether you appreciate wine or not, another standout is the glass walled Wine Room which stocks a drooling 1,000 bottle co
The first time I went to Vintaged with SC we had a great meal that we really enjoyed, but this was for dinner. As a recipient of a coveted Brisbane Times Good Food Guide chefs hat, Vintaged has a big reputation to uphold. A big part of maintaining the chefs hat is being consisten with all aspects of the meal and not just relying on a strong steak offering. The Hilton is an international hotel with many international guests, if Brisbane is to continue to develop a worldwide reputation as a gastronomical destination, then it is crucial Vintaged shine and only time will tell.
I felt like I had walked into ‘Back to the Future’ when I finally saw the Hilton refurbishment earlier this year. What was once a 80’s inspired, \a drab foyer is now a grand, modern, stunning lobby fit for a king. And the best part about it is the hotel’s restaurant, Vintaged Bar + Grill. With a wine room the size of my apartment and Himalayan rock salt insulated fridge for the abundance of cured meats, I knew was going to like this place. You can’t go wrong with one of their steaks, or if you want to eat like a king on a budget, they have $20 lunch specials including a huge, delicious Rueben sandwich and a glass of wine. Price: lunch special – $20 or a steak with trimmings will cost about $40.
New $35 dinner menu was a great excuse to finally visit Vintaged Bar Grill . Available Sunday to Friday between 5 – 9pm, the menu features 6 signature specials accompanied by a glass of wine, craft beer or a soft drink.
French breads, local yoghurts and seasonal fruits, a modest range of cakes and pastries and quality preserves and butter. There are hot items including the usual bacon, egg and tomato combinations as well as some more unusual options such as Lyonnaise sausages and baked beans prepared from scratch. In recognition of a changing market, congee has replaced
Whatever time of the day or evening, Vintaged offers a welcome escape from the hubub of the Queen Street Mall and a classy alternative to the many over-priced, ho-hum food options in the Queen Street Mall and surrounds.
very nice venue, service was brilliant and food was great. Amazing cocktails. i would highly recommend this place
Vintage Bar And Grill, at Hilton Hotel offers steak and Modern Australian food in a chic, contemporary space with leather sofas.
Elegant atmosphere, delightful food and staff who know how to be friendly yet unobtrusive. The lamb was delicious 😋 and the lemon pana cotta was fragrant and tasty. The breakfast does take a little longer to be served with COVIDSAFE processes in place. The juice bar is the ‘bees knees’ in my view.
Really great food. Main and sides are well organised.
We had the banquet and were blown away by the quality of their food, service, and cocktails 🍸!
At only $46 pp for the 2-course option and $63 for 3 courses, it’s definitely a great deal if you’re looking for a special evening.
They’re only available on Fri & Sat evenings at the moment.
I'd been here about two years ago for the tomahawk and enjoyed it so much I dragged nine other friends to do it again.
The photographed tomahawk (medium rare) served six people with average appetite very well (more meat was stripped from the "bone"), all of us adding one salad side.
Lovely flavours, very well seasoned and a bit of char smokiness which I enjoyed.
Salad sides were honestly quite small for the price, which was the only disappointment.
Service was really good, though notably we had preordered a few days in advance to allow the kitchen time to prepare.
They were attentive but not overbearing, and friendly whilst being professional.
Would absolutely recommend them.
Toilets clean and well lit, paper towels and no contact exit.
Had an amazing meal here tonight. Steaks cooked to perfection and our waitress Arlene was world class. Will be back!
