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.

We dined at this restaurant within the Marriott Hotel Brisbane although we were not a house guest. The whole experience from arrival to paying the Bill was brilliant. We were visiting from Perth celebrating our Wedding Anniversary and were looking for somewhere with at least...a little class and this was IT. The staff were well versed in the menu and kind and attentive. Pri, Diane and Rachel went above expectations to ensure we had a great night. The food was well presented, excellent in taste and good value for money. The wine selection was broad and also well costed. Special thanks to Rachel who oversaw our experience and was a great ambassador for the restaurant and HotelMore

Very good good food as you’d expect at a Marriott restaurant. And dollar value was reasonable for a tasty meal. Recommend for sure.

Dankeschoen! We enjoyed a lovely evening thanks to Rachael's excellent guest service and her attentive team. Tasty entrees, wholesome mains from the grill paired with nice wine were a treat - well done Motion kitchen team! Looking forward to our next visit.

Our group of 4 enjoyed our dinner meals here. Service was attentive though one of the the orders was mucked up when an incorrect meal selection was served. The quality of the produce served was pleasing. Prices though are at the higher CBD range. Food...presentation was very good. The venue was half full on a Saturday night which actually meant a more pleasant extended meal without the often too noisy ambience of some other venues. We would recommend a return visit.More

Motion Dining is a restaurant with a bar attached inside the Marriott Brisbane. We're normally a little [put off by an attached bar, but when we looked more closely we found that we were able to be seated away from the bar and associated noise,...and ended up very much enjoying the evening.

Breakfast buffet was very ordinary. Hot food was cold. Eggs unpalatable; looking around it seems everyone left the scrambled eggs on their plates. Very cramped space for the number of people in the dining room. Not a positive experience.

We (two couples) went to Motion Dining for the 5pm sitting for Valentines Day Seafood Buffet. All of us found the buffet and service excellent. There was a wide variety of fresh seafood--oysters, bugs, prawns, oysters Kilpatrick, seafood salads, seafood chowder, smoked salman, and the...food was plentiful. There were many hot dishes as well for non-seafood tastes. The desserts were too many to try all but our ice cream connoisseur tried all 5 flavers of gelato and ice cream and was suitably impressed. The service was prompt and friendly from everyone from the time we walked in and had a drink at the bar until we left 2 hours later, well sated. We all enjoyed this very special experience and will be back.More

Such a disappointment. We were a large group which pre-ordered a buffet lunch before Xmas. The food was so ordinary it was ridiculous. The "caesar salad" was lettuce with a bottle of oversweet vinaigrette dressing beside it, no egg or bacon or anchovies or caesar...dressing. Meat portions were tiny. The desserts were bite size and forgettable. My advice, don't bother.More
