Best Brisbane eating experience in terms of superb venue if you can outside on a warm night & gaze at the Story Bridge just there. The food & service are excellent. The wine selection wonderful. More

My dad and I recently went for dinner at Customs House and we had a superb time. The view of Story Bridge and the river was fabulous, the food amazing and the service technically perfect as well as personable. We had lunched at Aria a few weeks before and Customs House is better on every level. More

The menu sounds appetizing and the food delivers for the most part but misses the edge at the price point positioned. The entree are over priced and are average - I had the bay bugs on a bed of watermelon red onion gaspache and the flavours although good missed the mark. For the main I had the lamb which had...

A few ladies and I took our friend for her birthday to Customs House Restaurant and had a wonderful lunch. The food was incredible and a view to match. We sat outside on the River. Prices are expensive but worth it. More

The venue was lovely, if only the weather were a little nicer and we could've sat outside next to the rive and looked at the story bridge. Not to worry, inside was very nice. The menu options were good, so too was the wine list. Food came out reasonably fast and the waiter was very friendly. More

We found this restaurant to be far better than any we have dined in in Brisbane or the Gold Coast, and we have been coming here every year for 7 years. The Moreton Bay bugs on watermelon gaspacho was fabulous, as was the veal with crabmeat. And, of course, the setting right on the Brisbane River with a great view... More

This restaurant offers views over the Brisbane River at almost water level. Certainly a different point of view. The food is excellent and the service just as good. A little pricey but worth it. More
