Our 2nd time for dinner and was as fantastic as the first. On this occasion it was our 2nd anniversary. For lovers of fine dinning, with creative and balanced cuisine, Brents is worth a visit. We had a complimentary little taster, entree / appertiser, palate cleanser, main, side, beer / mocktail, dessert. All servings were delicious, as were all drinks.... More

For our dinning experience we chose "The Romantic Dinner Package For Two" which consisted of 6 courses plus a bottle of wine for $175 per couple. The quality of the food was excellent with delicious flavours, very much in the French Nouvelle Cuisine style. The service was impeccable and very professional, certainly the best I have come across in Queensland.... More

The is my favourite Brisbane restaurant, a brilliant suburban gem. Brent offers up fabulous and creative dishes, serving staff are usually friendly, efficient and accomodating. I have noticed a turnover in the waiting staff recently, which is sad, but all things change. Parking can be a little difficult, but I can definately recommend the tasting menu - divine!! However, as... More

We had dinner here on Friday night, ordering the Romantic Package. The Amuse Bouche & Entree were delicious, the Mains were nice enough but nothing special...& then, the waiting...a half hour until our plates were cleared...& after another 15 minutes, we chased dessert. Over 45 minutes wait between mains & dessert really took the shine off the evening. The dessert... More

As we all know, finding an decent restaurant in Brisbane is an absolute impossibility. As you enter the restaurant the front room is as close as you will get to elegance in Brisbane. White tablecloths, waitresses dressed in black, and a pleasant ambiance. That is where the experience ends. The waitress set the table with knives and forks around the... More

The front room was attractive and refreshingly cool for a hot Brisbane night. However the staff seemed far from experienced, nervous and untrained in the finer details of service. The order of bread which we requested was tiny, and we ordered another. The main courses when they arrived looked ok but mine lacked one vital ingredient ... flavour. My dessert... More

Somehow a friend and I scored a table at short notice. That was the first surprise, given how difficult it can be to book. When we arrived the surprises continued. Brents is hidden in a quiet suburban street, and you enter to a warm and friendly welcome. The menu offers a good selection but we chose the fixed price 6... More

It's difficult to have to fault this restaurant, the service is great, the staff extremely professional, the decor welcoming and elegant, the food well presented. But to be honest the majority of the food we were served wasn't quite right, and not like it read in the menu. The food is certainly not bad, it was all cooked extremely well,... More

We visited this restaurant for a Valentine’s Day celebration, and were greeted with a glass of very nice champagne, followed by a tiny cup of truffled mushroom broth, unusual, but tasty. Although we had the set menu, my partner’s food preferences were willingly accommodated, and she was delighted with the alternatives offered – just one example of the quality of... More
