We had the 5 course tasting menu plus the specials of Moreton Bay Bug and cave matured cheddar cheese. This was enough. Our wait staff Elan, Leon and our sommelier whose name I just can't recall were attentive but not in your face. The ambience was good and the drinks and meals expertly prepared. Overall we had a lovely experience at DD Bistro, which was our first time in many years. It seems they must be doing something right as the restaurant / bar has seemed to expand since last time.

Wasn’t the most outstanding meal we’ve ever had, especially for the price point. I expected the flavour of the meal to be better, but it was on par with our local small town bistro (but doubly the cost).
