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.

Very rarely you find a restaurant that gets it 100% right on every aspect but here we are at Seasons and they did just that.
A warm welcome and a choice of seating, we opted for the closed in verandah which was intimate yet spacious.
Attentive staff who are exceptionally well versed in the menu options advised us on portion sizes.
The menu is excellent, well balanced and accurate. The presentation is excellent and the food really is incredibly appetising. The wine list is very good with a number of tempting cellar bottles which can be decanted at your request. You’ve nailed it there.
Really what more can I say? This is a superb restaurant, first class service from a great team. Knock out food at reasonable prices. Seasons Restaurant, you get my vote. First class.

Went there for a special night for my 70th birthday. The restaurant was full as there e was a big event in town. Fortunately I booked in advance. Food was great, service was quick. Only blemish they brought the wrong meal for my wife. She had started eating before remembering and it was something she likes (and they only charged for the cheaper meal.
So it was not a problem.
I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

Wanted to have a nice anniversary dinner but difficult to find somewhere open on a Monday night. We like to have a night away so were happy to find this “Award Winning “restaurant which had good reviews & an attached motel .
Firstly the waitress brought us a large jug of water & plonked it on the table without pouring it. A small annoyance.
We started with entree - cob loaf with seafood in an Italian tomato sauce.
Seafood was nice but I would have preferred a cream sauce.
Main course. I had duck in Asian spices & plum sauce. Served with mashed potatoes, carrots, bean’s & zucchini. Delicious!
Husband had eye fillet , mushroom gravy & the same vegetables.
He had requested medium rare but unfortunately it was well done. He complained & the lovely waitress quickly removed it to be redone & offered a free drink.
The replacement arrived promptly & he really enjoyed the meal. They also discounted his meal.
I also feel both meals could be presented a little better.
Hubby had the apple & rhubarb dessert. I had the special- chocolate parfait. Both desserts were quite good.

Seasons shows signs of the 1970s/80s restaurant attached to a motel, likely the best and only meal in a town. Menu shows some resemblance too. Food is overpriced for the offering, but will be readily consumed if you are really hungry. Perhaps expectations were raised too high.

We had the Seafood Tower, the seafood was sadly dry and over cooked. We have noticed the Seafood was frozen.
The prices for all the food we ordered does not match the serving size.
It definitely is prizes on menu equals the fancy styling of the restaurant.
Serving staff was excellent.

Cold dinner after 50 mins wait. Food literally encrusted in salt enough to preserve a small whale. The steak would have been perfect had it not arrived cold.
Staff needs to stop chitchat at the bar, and start running around serving tables.

What a lovely place to dine. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The menu was good and the meals we selected were really tasty. The panna cotta that we both chose for dessert was absolutely to die for - yum, yum, yum !!! Thank you so much and next time we are in Toowoomba we will be sure to visit again.

Service excellent, food and wine and company just right. Medium rare steak was medium but delicious. My duck meal was just right. Desserts were good and everything just the right size. Good wine selection. A lovely place for romantic dinner or Christmas party or friends dinner. One of the best restaurant meals we’ve had for a long time.

The staff were excellent very friendly, helpful and attentive. Food was great too, yes it’s not cheap but is definitely worth it.couldn’t fault anything. We had scallops, garlic bread, rib fillet with red wine, Carbonara and the house mad sticky date. Everything was delicious, rare to go somewhere and have no complaints. Wouldn’t change a thing!

Excellent food, excellent service and nice atmosphere. We have dined here several times while staying at the motel and we have had a great night every time. Staff are always lovely and food is always good. Highly recommend. It is really warm inside so ensure you have layers that can be removed!

Never again, been coming here for ages nearly every Saturday night, we always order scallops for entrees, this time they came out very raw, we show the new manager and even she said they were raw and sent them back asking for no replacement, the wife had also ordered scallops for main and we asked for them to be cooked longer and again they came out raw, sent back again, I ordered the plum duck which came out very dry, the veggies were hard and not cooked, we had the 2 x scallop entree refunded, still paid for main scallops and the duck costing $99, the have had a management and chef change recently and it really shows for the worst. Sorry not returning.

Thank you Lynne for taking the time to review your dining experience with us. It is very disappointing that you would give us a 1/5 star review because you had to wait for your meals. We offer an upmarket dining experience while you enjoy our service, ambience, a refreshing beverage, enjoying a night out with your nearest & dearest while we take care of you. It was a Saturday evening with a fully booked out restaurant of 100 diners & a large table order of 20+ people was being taken as you arrived for your booking at 7.30pm. Our chefs always strive to deliver high quality meals in a timely manner to all of our valued diners & pushing your table forward in front of others would be unfair to other dining guests; we did try to explain this to you & at no at point was our team member trying to come off abruptly, we were just trying to provide you with an explanation. Writing unkind & negative feedback online does not give us the chance to rectify any issues; as you ordered Main meals only, we would have been more then happy to have offered you a complimentary Entrée while you were waiting for your meals; however; when when we approached your table trying to offer more drinks & service; we were greeted with comments surrounding you waiting 30 minutes since ordering your meals when checked & then another 10 more minutes as we plated your meals for delivery. Our apologies that you did not feel that our waiting times were reasonable & this justified your online review. We will certainly use the feedback you gave us to implement improvements to ensure we offer a better experience for guests in the future. Warm Regards, Seasons Team
