Just celebrated my birthday here last night, service was amazing they surprised me with a free plate of macaron and chocolate by the end of the meal. but we already ordered and finished our desserts. which i highly recommend, for the night the cookie and cream creme burlee was my favourite, and we also ordered the chocolate pudding (comes with the real vanilla ice cream). and a not so sweet mango cheesecake. love all the desserts there.
It’s maybe the best buffet dinner I had in a hotel
Loved the barbecue live stations and the fresh seafood .I would like to say a big thank you to the young blond French girl .She was so friendly with us and helpful,she made us feel like home

A French influenced dining experience, offering carefully selected dishes by either a la carte or a degustation (tasting selection). Although located is in the busy Sofitel ground floor the restaurant is out of the foot traffic and noise within a separate room with fine views of the Brisbane skyline. A good selection of wines by the glass or bottle is available at prices reasonable for the quality of the offering. We selected a NZ Pinot Noir (Ha Ha was the label) which proved a fine match. The menu has a selection of fish, fowl, lamb, beef and vegetarian options. Fish of the day was Snapper. Our lamb was perfectly cooked, with asparagus and in a reduction sauce, accompanied by white bean paste, black garlic and mustard. Similarly, delicious was our other dish of Tasmanian salmon, king mushrooms and zucchini. Crème brûlée du jour was not the traditional vanilla but included Nutella, making it too adventurous for our taste. Despite luscious sounding alternative sweets, we opted for the cheese platter that was more than adequate for two. It included 5 cheeses, and a freshly made intense paste reminiscent of pears and perfect with the cheese selection, served with lavosh bread, sticks and water crackers. The nuts were very fresh and the dried muscats full of flavour. Service was exceptional showing excellent knowledge of the offerings and of last-minute changes in view of ingredient availability. All in all a great location for that intimate evening celebration.

Good atmosphere with friendly staff, the menu was different from the one here in this app, but still with many options. I picked for entree the scallops, which were perfect and tasty, for main i got the chicken with lime risotto, the chicken was tender in the inside and crisp outside but the risotto was too acid for me, couldn't eat much of that risotto.
There were a few parts of Prive249 that were outstanding. The service was attentive but not too overbearing. The food overall was good, paced nicely so not waiting too long or felt you were in a hurry. The old clock tower was a beautiful view. But there was nothing spectacular about the dishes, they felt very safe. The mornay scallops I would order again, and while the skin was perfectly crisp the meat was overcooked for my liking
One of the things I sorely missed from my journey down in Melbourne, was the dining experience we had at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. So when my colleague and I decided we needed a quiet dinner to wind down from a hard day’s work, we decided to try Brisbane Sofitel’s Prive 249. . For those unfamiliar with Brisbane’s Sofitel, the hotel is built right on top of Central Train Station, complete with the historical fascade and clock tower intact. There are two parts to the restaurant, one part is seating for patrons of the Thyme Buffet, which I had been to on a previous occasion whereas Prive 249 is situated in a secluded room for a more private dining experience. Upon arrival we were greeted and lead to the private room, where we were seated in a table next to the clock tower, with a little view overlooking Post Office Square.
Good food, great atmosphere and has the best service&hosts that are out of this world.. The minute that I walked in i knew that i was going to get treatment fit for a queen. Definitely coming back
Sensational food. I have wanted to visit Prive249 for some time now, and finally, I now have! The food is of the highest quality fine dining. Prive is exquisite and the mastery of the chef is well presented on the plate with great presentation and flavours. This is one of Brisbane's best dining experiences.
Splendid service and great food. Had the Pork Belly and Wagyu, well matched wines and superb dessert. Nice and quiet little spot in an otherwise bustling hotel.
Tucked away in the back corner it is often forgotten and always seemed empty. Never heard much about it but it filled my one brief for the night and that was somewhere quiet. Hotel food and restaurants don't always have a great rep, with the recent experiences I have this may have to change.
