Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really great food and a charming setting made this a memorable lunch. Definitely worth a detour for the crunchy potatoes alone, Mavis’ Kitchen is a great day out for the discriminating luncher. And unlike most restaurants we have visited lately, the our table was on...an open verandah with a beautiful view of plants and garden, and we could actually hear ourselves talk! A long way out of town but worth it.More

Beautiful spot for lunch and service was friendly and attentive but genuine. Food was delicious the Moreton Bay Bug pappardelle perfectly cooked and portioned. Other friends enjoyed the grilled chicken kangaroo loin and chickpea gnocchi. Matching wines also appreciated. So worth the drive😋😋😋

What a delightful find, situated in luscious green manicured gardens by a river this beautiful old Queenslander home turned restaurant and pantry is just superb. The food was 5 star and there is a great wine selection and the service was impeccable. We also met...the lovely owners who made us feel very much at home. Our group of 5 plus Frankie our little dash hound highly recommend Mavis’s Kitchen.More

Disappointed. We have visited Mavis Kitchen on many occasions, however, on this occasion, we were very disappointed. Nouvelle Cuisine prevailed. The meat and pasta dish was poor. The meat was so small it was almost invisible. The pasta was under-cooked and the juice/gravy was difficult...to see.More

Set in a beautiful Queenslander surrounded by sustainable gardens, spreading farm trees and fairy lights Mavis’ Kitchen never disappoints. On this visit we had the seven course degustation. We are yet again floored by how well planned the menu is. How fresh and gorgeous the...produce is. The chef/s handle this food with loving care; producing dishes that are so well balanced and delicious but also beautifully presented. Also, making pantry items such as one of the best chilli jams that is not just chilli but has a depth of flavour. The wait staff is friendly and welcoming. They know the menu very well and make us feel like old friends visiting each time we come. We eat out in this region often and there are many excellent restaurants. We are blessed that the standard of food here is so high. Mavis’ Kitchen’s food, staff and ethos are at the top of the list for us. Thanks again for yet another top night.More

Outstanding lunch and service, in a picture perfect setting. The menu changes with the season and is customised to match fruits, vegetables, herbs etc that grow in their organic gardens.

Disappointing experience service was poor staff disinterested. Singing ‘sic’ and whistling from kitchen just grating. Duck was excellent and my friend loved the Pav. Was looking forward to this but unfortunately despite the lovely house and setting is not somewhere we’ll return.

We were there for lunch and it was terrible. Food was old and heated, bland and sad. Won’t be back ever. The service was good with friendly staff and lovely setting. We heard so much about this venue, it was really disappointing.

Crossiant was se.rved with nothing and when we asked of there was any jam they said no just butter. Not worth the money in my...mind wished we had just stayed home for mothers day breakfast.More
