Everything is so lovely- sitting out near the river looking at the lights reflected in the water- the food is beautiful- the service warm and gracious. I was there on a Tuesday night so it was quiet and relaxed. I had the veal medallions which were really tasty and the creme brûlée - everything was yum. Loved it

Always excellent service, wine and food. This Brisbane CBD restaurant is a bit hidden away, but once discovered it becomes a regular destination. Seating inside is fine, but outside looking over the river on a sunny day is not to be missed

Recommended to us by a local couple more so due the outdoor patio and view. Service was slow at first but attentive after ordering. A costly but enjoyable experience ... we just had one appetizer and two cocktails totaling $83.

This restaurant is well appointed and with a scenic view of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge and adjacent areas at which the highlight used to be dinner whilst watching the then annual Riverfire " F111 dump and burn" but let that not deter you as the venue is more private and enjoyable than that offered only a short distance...

My wife and I ate here last night and were delighted by the whole experience. The service was top notch throughout the entire evening and the food was delicious. Citrus cured kingfish as a starter was to die for.

Apart from a romantic evening ambience, the food & service was good. Enjoyed birthday celebration with family. Made to feel welcome & special guests, informative & professional staff, very attentive & friendly. A relaxing dining experience and... More

One of the few decent places open for Saturday lunch, Customs House did not disappoint. It was a rather warm day, so we elected to sit inside, but the view of the Story Bridge and the river from the outside dining area would be a big drawcard for a romantic night. The highlight of course is the food. Amongst our... More

My wife and I ate at the Customs House on Valentine's Day (6pm reservation) 2013. We were promptly escorted to a small table overlooking the Brisbane River. As it was Valentine's Day, we were shown a limited selection menu; which was NOT want I wanted. The staff was friendly and efficient (except they didn't seem to care that I DID... More
