A disappointing visit to the Black Hide, food was warm not hot. When you are paying big money for a steak you at least expect it to be piping hot. Annoying that you have to order sides, only the steak and a blob of potato comes on the plate. Bread roll was tough. Steak was cooked as requested medium rare and the Shiraz we ordered we really enjoyed. The table service was good but hard to understand the lady with her accent. We wonât be back anytime soon. Dear Wendy R,Thank you for dining at Black Hide and leaving your review.It greatly disappoints us that you were not satisfied with your dining experience. We are also disappointed to hear that your steak was not served at a temperature of your liking. We ask all our diners to communicate to our friendly and helpful staff at the time of dining if they have any questions or concerns about their order. Please be assured we take this matter very seriously, and have passed your comments on to our restaurant manager to review. We hope that you will give us another opportunity to make your next visit a 5-star one.Sincerely,Black Hide.

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 .

$64 For breakfast is way over priced.Coffee and food were good but not worth $$$. Very inconsistent with serving sizes between meals. Big breakfast good size for $ but eggs Benedict at $24 For 1 slice of bread, avo and 2 eggs left husband hungry. Also said more like a white sauce rather than hollandaise. Most disappointing though is that having an allergy menu becomes very restrictive when they won't allow substitution. But happy to remove $8 item and add $4 and charge for addition still. I understand not allowing substitution all the time but allergies already make my dining experience difficult. So due to this won't be back. It's obviously busy and won't miss my patronage but warning to others you may leave disappointed. Dear OpinionATThank you for your review. You are quite right, there is a difference in size between the BIG Breakfast and the Putia benedict due to the different ingredients in each dish. The big breakfast is the most substantial mean on the menu. Many of our customers tell us that they have allergies and our staff talk to them about menu options that might work for them. I appreciate the difficulty you may often have in choosing a suitable dish. For this reason, there is a basic menu choice of eggs on toast to which you can then add sides that are agreeable with you. Perhaps that would have worked better for you than the Big breakfast. Having said that, I can assure you that your feedback, e.g in relation to the sauce, is appreciated and has been considered by the kitchen team. regards Dominique

The food is locally sourced and reasonably priced. I had the spaghetti carbonara which was good but a bit bland for my taste. The service was friendly, helpful and attentive. There was a nice local crowd in the restaurant for lunch and what appeared to be baffles in the ceiling to keep the noise level manageable. I am rounding my rating up to 4 based on the service and the price. Helpful Hint: The restaurant is not immediately on the street. There was a sign on the sidewalk pointing in the direction of the restaurant.

Unfortunately I think this place just wasnât for me. Outside of the amuse-bouche which was beautiful, porcini foam type dish with crispy duck, the food was really bland and unmemorable. My pet peeve in a restaurant is not providing salt and pepper on the table. If youâre going to be light on flavour you have to provide salt and pepper. I donât feel comfortable asking for it and potentially offending the chef. While the sommelier was good for a chat none of the other wait staff seemed to show us their personality. The dining room lacks soul and the air conditioning was up too high to be comfortable. However the drinks list is incredible. If you like wine or cocktails you would definitely enjoy the effort behind the drinks list!

I hate going to the same place twice and prefer to try out new places but Iâve broken the rule as this was too good. Prom Belly was brilliant and the desert was even better...I donât understand why there are other places that are heaving by the river and this is quiet (but means youâll get a table) Unfortunately I doubt Iâll be back here in a hurry but if u was Iâd be eating here again!Dear davidrC1742LL,Thank you so much for your wonderful review, the team will really appreciate your comments.Hopefully your review like many others will tempt futuer diners to throw cuation to the wind and try something different and head to Spring Hill's Kennigo Socail House for something different.Thank you again and hopefully we'll see you again to sample our Spring menu in October.Regards,Neil

Attended a hen party dinner at the end of the month and boy it didnât disappoint. The only silent hen party Iâve been to - the food was so good there wasnât a peep! The amazing quality was only surpassed by the fantastic service we got from Sam who really made an impression on us all (and spoiled us for future restaurants - weâll never experience the like elsewhere!)Between us I think the whole menu was tasted and there was no critique or bad words to say about it. Canât wait for the next visit
