Reviews
"Modern and simple design in the heart of the James St precinct, with a relaxed ambience. The Lodge has interesting and creative good combinations, with intriguing flavours. A nice place for a meal. We started with the entree of warm and cooled peas, served with fried Enoki and oyster mushroom. This was a tasty way to start, with some exciting flavour combinations. For main, I tried the Bundaberg red potato agnolotti, smoked ricotta, fig leaf oil and vincotto. This was a nicely balanced dish with well cooked pasta stuffed with a tasty potato puree. We also had a couple of sides - the heirloom tomatoes with fried capers, stracciatella, and basil, and the garden beans with cashew creme and confit shallots. Both were interesting with great flavour combinations. Worth a try for a nice meal out."
"A fusion of luxury and style, our venue offers a sense of elevated approachability across both hospitality and retail. Melding fashion, food and wine, The Lodge Bar & Dining, James St treats customers to a truly memorable experience like no other. All the ingredients were such great quality, the natural oysters were fresh and the buttered Moreton Bay 'bug roll' was not what I expected but was so balanced and delicious! Moreso, the Dry aged NY strip steak 700g was perfection."
"This is one of my new favourites. After an excellent quiet midweek lunch, was thrilled to return for a lunch on my birthday. Its such a great vibe despite being smack bang in the middle of a busy area. A tranquil fit out, chilled even during busy service. Food is excellent, the devilled eggs were not available on the most event basis JT and I sure hope they return! The trout roe tart is a star entree and everyone should order one. Great service, good wine list."
"Following a recommendation from a friend we had Sunday lunch here for an anniversary. Love the decor, the colour palette and the seating. Really provided a wonderful atmosphere. The service we received was outstanding.The food was wonderful. Their cocktails are amazing. Overall this restaurant is on the pricey side but still quite reasonable, especially when its for a special occasion. Will be recommending this restaurant to others. Can't wait to come back."
"Exceptional dining experience with a very high standard of food and service, plus a great vibe to the restaurant. We had the Here & Now tasting menu and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the Bug Rolls, Trout Roe Tart & Meat Pie Croquettes The main of Dry Aged Optimal Beef was well cooked and a quality piece of meat, lots of taste but was missing something, we'd skip that one next time and the sweets were just too sweet for our palate But the cocktails are as a must, had the Black & Silver Old Fashioned, great mix and definitely a winner for me. Look forward to heading back for a menu options"
