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.

It was a wonderful experience. It wasn't about the food, which I might add was very good but not necessarily to our taste, it was all about the experience. The service was excellent, the staff were very helpful, very friendly, and the journey was slow...and relaxing and progressed at a speed which enabled us to take it all in and enjoy it. Maybe some signage on the way at appropriate places to indicate what we were looking at would be helpful. It was all about the experience. Austin and Sue.More

Went for a birthday celebration with a friend. From the time you arrive and are greeted by your waitress for the evening to the explanation of matching wines - it was a very special experience.

If you’re looking for something different to celebrate a special event, The Q train will look after you! I celebrated my 50th birthday with 41 others being my family and friends on a carriage during lunch time. Everybody had a great time.

We highly enjoyed our experience on the Q train last week! We were lucky enough to be on the steam train which runs I believe the first Friday of each month. The food and wine pairing was excellent as was the service and knowledge the...staff shared about the train, area, food and wine from the region. If you do not drink wine they have beer matching as well. We are definitely going to come back another time and try the beer tasting. We took the ferry across from Docklands and was picked up by bus so the whole day was stress free and very enjoyable.More

It was a lovely experience. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We loved the menu and accompanying beverages. There was a nice selection of complementary wine, beer or mock tail with each course. The latter being a really nice choice for those unable to...get through the alcoholic options. The menu was an interesting selection of dishes using local ingredients. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The train was nicely fitted out and the lunch tables set with a white table cloth, quality glass and tableware. We had a most enjoyable day.More

My husband and I went on The Q Train to celebrate a special birthday recently. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. The service that the staff provided was friendly and they showed a great attention to detail. It really felt as if...they were there to make our day memorable. The food was wonderful, a true dining experience. The chef managed to produce some really beautiful flavour combinations and the presentation was outstanding. Travelling on the train made it so much more special, it was like being in a high end restaurant with a constantly changing view. It really was a special day and we will definitely go again.More

We celebrated a special birthday in the First Class section. What a way to celebrate, all the staff members we encountered were friendly, caring and professional. Especially Liam, our cabin 'butler'. He was terrific, knowledgeable and made terrific conversation. The food was exceptional and well...spaced out. The drinks were matched perfectly. Liam explained the origins and qualities of both the food and drinks and made the whole afternoon unforgettable. We were fortunate to be on the first weekend of the month that meant we were treated to the steam engine experience. What a day out, highly recommended.More
