8. Blackbird Bar and Grill

Reviewed By Cornel S
The restaurant offers lovely view over Brisbane River and the staff was courteous enough.However, I was either exceptionally unlucky, or I must have very different standards to the hundreds of reviewers who enjoyed their visit to Blackbird. The first steak I ordered was so exceptionally salty that after a few attempts - during which I resorted to the already salty fries to bring the salt level down between bites - I had to return it. The second steak the kitchen prepared was fine in terms of not being overly salty (I think it wasn't salted at all but just carried residue salt from the cutting boards which was still plenty). Amazingly though, having ordered a medium rare ribeye, both steaks were well done. I'm not sure if the kitchen staff are to blame as both were very thin cuts, but either way, for a steakhouse not being able to season and cook a steak seems a pretty fundamental flaw.Hi Cornel, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your dining experience. We will be escalating this feedback onto the management staff so we can learn for this. Once again, thank you for letting us know.

This is the place to go to in the Kuranda Heritage Markets to get the best crepes. There are classic crepes, sweet crepes and gourmet crepes. The gourmet crepes are outstanding, and are a bit like a gourmet pizza on a crepe base. All three of us were very happy with what we ordered and would happily go there again. It is popular so you may have to wait for a seat if you go there at peak times.There is a also lovely deck which looks into the rainforest. The staff are all really friendly and helpful.

Prior to our palm cove trip I had read many great reviews of this place so was keen to try.We were lucky to have some perfect weather to enjoy this beautiful location looking out to the ocean with a balmy night.Staff were very attentive and we quickly placed our order for the banana leaf fish topped with king prawns and the rendang curry. This meal was delicious, mouth watering flavour and generous serving size. The fish was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The rendang was one of the better curries I have tastes outside of Indonesia with the meat melting in your mouth!Great food, flavour, location and service

Six of us had lunch at this wonderful restaurant last week. We ordered the three course meal for $80 which in fact turned out to be very generous as beautiful amuse- bouches & homemade breads were interspersed throughout & handmade mandarin jellies & caramels were served after our dessert.The entree, main & dessert were impeccably cooked & presented. This would have to be the most exciting food in Brisbane at the moment .

I ate here with 3 of my friends who were visiting and we all loved it. There is lots of flavour in the food yet we could still taste the actual seafood still and the service was good. I love the "fish list" they have; you pick one of 5 different kinds of fish then there is 5 different ways/flavours to choose how you would like it cooked. My friends were all happy woth their choices, I had the seafood paella and was also very happy.

By far one of the best restaurants in Cairns and have only discovered it just now. The food is amazing! And I can only recommend for everyone to try everything! The sprouts are delicious as well for the haloumi! Everything was so good. Laura was serving our table and she helped us so good and knew so much about all the food. Definitely will visit again!
