Totally recommend experiencing a Focus night at Pause. Last night we were totally spoilt with the best seafood I’ve ever had. Absolutely exquisite flavours and freshness. Seafood at its finest. And the champagne was pretty good too. We hope that you do that one again!! Thanks chef and all the staff for a great night.
We loved or impromptu lunch visit to Pause. The food was some of the best I’ve eaten in Brisbane, and such a surprise to find this fine dining quality in Samford.
The service was right en pointe - not too much, not too little - and whilst I couldn’t enjoy the wine menu this time round, it looked well thought out.
We’ll be back to try the degustation menu!
Usually, I still get a bit hungry after fine dining, but at this place, I was full. The lighting on these photos don't do these dishes justice, but they were all incredible. When we plan to drive up north, we'll visit again.
Just re-establishing in a new format after a short hibernation! It is more casual and accessible now
It had wood fired pizzas outside in a caravan with attached wood fired oven and more traditional a la carte menu inside.I grabbed a quick lamb pasta on the way through there from Mount Glorious.it I’d conveniently located in the Main Street of Samford village
End doing a roaring trade the night I was there
What a wonderful evening.
I was honestly so surprised at how perfect each course was.
I am ceoliac. Staff took great care to ensure they were thorough when offering gluten free items. All sauces/ meats etc were checked. Everything.
I enjoyed Oyster Kilpatrick, an antipasto board, the fish and a pannacotta dessert.
Every element was fresh, cooked perfectly and just divine.
Even better was the beautiful service.
Highly recommended.
We had an outstanding meal at Pause last Friday night. A snack of warm olives followed by tasty prawns wrapped in shredded pastry as an entree. Main meal was a delicious seafood pasta full of prawns, and bug meat in a lobster bisque. It was beautiful and a large portion. Service was fantastic. Our interstate visitors and we were very impressed with the quality of the food and service. Thank you!
Never disappoints - Food was just lovely and well priced for the 3 courses. Family and friends always impressed. Thank you Chef and Luca for a lovely lunch out with friends. Can highly recommend the Lobster Lunch as well!
We had the "Leave it to Chef" degustation lunch with matching wines. It really was the best day out we've had in ages. The food was excellent and the vibe was great. Everyone in the venue was really friendly and helpful. We really appreciated the time the Sommelier took to explain how the wines paired with each course. Very highly recommended!
A wonderful experience as usual, great food, great service and a great venue. Pause knows how to truly treat the guest, the right amount of attention when needed but not taking over or leaving you to linger forever. We will miss our special little restaurant in the valley and all the staff. Best wishes to you all..
Took hubby there for our Anniversary Dinner. So much fun. Delicious food. Wonderful wine! So sad to heard that the restaurant will be closing - because we would totally have gone back again.
