    We were expecting a menu with less Asian and spicy food, everything was had with something spicy. The interesting food, like meat, was expensive, and the portion did not have 500gm. The music was loud. The waitresses did not come on time to take the dessert order. The lamb ribs were not cooked properly. I was a disappointing experience.

    Our table of 3 thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch special of fries, greens and salmon miso skewers totally scrumptious, our son had the squid equally tender and fresh followed by my favourite almond slice with raspberry sorbet and 2 Oreo cheesecakes. The food was a delight and beautifully presented. Drinks were good including a talented Singapore Sling and lattes. The ambiance is always special with refreshing breezes and polite professional service by staff who clearly enjoy their work as indicated by smiles, conversations and genuine interest in customer opinion and satisfaction of luncheon experience. Thanks Terrace Restaurant Emporium for another lovely lunch.

    Well selected grazing menu. Meals were delicious; especially the roasted pumpkin. Warm and energetic atmosphere where everyone was enjoying themselves. Fantastic views of the city, regardless of the light drizzle of rain. Friendly staff [including personable security (namely the mature gentleman with the English accent)] who appeared capable of their task, were like they were part of the hospitality team. Will definitely be back to try the char-grilled rib.

    Great venue, delicious food and fabulous views of Brisbane. Lovely place to spend an evening with friends. Music is extremely loud though- 95 DB recorded! So not a place for conversation.

    Can’t go past The Terrace when it comes to a great hangout. The food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly. They’ve got an impressive range of drinks — we had a blast trying a few new things. The staff were super attentive without hovering, which made the whole experience really relaxed, and what is not to love about the view! Highly recommend!
