la vue waterfront restaurant

absolutely beautifulfoodin a stunning setting right by the water front. ronaldo came out to say hello and the rest of the staff were so lovely and attentive. perfect for a special night out! highly recommend!

intend to visit this waterfront restaurant for a long time. eventually, we took the advantage of the fork festival of 50% offfoodbill for a dinner last night. 
the par of our expectation was set high. walked in and we were greeted by the well-trained professional wait-staff. nearly every tables are facing the nice view of the story bridge. no doubt, service and ambience achieve the full mark.
we ordered the de-bone quail, daily special lobster bisque for entrees and veal eye fillet and the ocean trout as the mains. entrees came to the table quicker than we expected. the aroma of rich lobster earned our appreciation and the huge portion of the stuffed quail was unexpected (i nearly thought it should be a chicken more than a quail). the grapes stuffed with the quail were interesting but i could not taste the sweetness from them. on the other hand, the braised lentils made the stuffed content slightly mushy. 
next came the mains. honestly, presentation was rustic and it is close to french country style dishes. both of the mains were average. we could not pick up the flaw but there was no surprised at all. overall, it was a slightly let down from our high expectation.

a romantic restaurant that can cater for all functions , events, parties , ala carte dining and special occasions. the location of this restaurant is hidden away from the hustle & bustle of eagle pier street, where we are situated along the board walk at the opposite end next to admiralty towers and in front of the marriott hotel. we are the closest restaurant nearest to the famous story bridge with it's beautiful lights that change every week. in a beautiful setting that surrounds with natural parklands and boutique gardens - this is a unique and stylish venue that is not to be missed. the restaurants theme is bringing nature into the interior with bright happy art works from healing art design for magical ambience and positive -" chi energy " for upliftment,relaxation and tranquility. we are open 7 ( nights ) a week , monday to sunday 5.30pm to late . thefoodmenu approaches an array of modern australian with a french and european flair.delicate sauces to captivate the palate , with starters , to follow and delicious desserts.

excellentfoodand best view of story bridge, friendly staff and manager, would be better if the restaurant can replace table and chairs, will come back again!

amazing service, we where met at the door and treated like royalty. thefoodwas amongst the best i have ever had. the view was over to kangaroo point where i proposed later that night. thank you la vue for such an amazing experience.

what a disappointment my wife and i went there for a valentines day lunch and could not understand why it had received such good reviews. the view was the best part of the experience.
from the start our drinks were warm ie wine and beer. the waiter was nice enough to replace the beer and provided ice for the wine. he admitted that the fridges were not working.
my entree had two little prawns that were overcooked and chalky. my wife's entree which were scallops which were grey in colour.
her main was worse it should have been salt and pepper quail in a salad. it was a battered quail with s demi glaze with no mention of that in the menu. . the pickled cucumber tasted as if it came out of a jar. very disappointing. when the waiter came to take plates he asked what was wrong, she was not going to say anything but it seemed he needed an answer so she said the quail seemed off. during our meals the chef did the rounds and brought a finger bowl for her.
so when the waiter took the full plate back my wife heard the chef say he rotates his stock. lo and behold out comes the chef. he is standing over the table and asks what was wrong with the quail. she said it seemed off. his answer was he rotates his stock. she said it seemed that way. she said she did not complain as the waiter asked. the chef said it wasn't and wanted redemption. she stated the menu said salt & pepper but the quail came out battered and with demi glaze??!!! it seemed he wanted an argument. so off he went back to his kitchen. next the waiter came to top up our glasses of water. clearly he was shaken as he used the tap water - where we were splashing out on sparkling water. we started to laugh as it could not have gotten worse. my wife usually does not say anything but if asked will say something. i think they did not want to hear their short comings. in fact when we stood up to leave the young waitress ran to the door to help us out which was not done for any other patrons including a couple with a pram. we were not charged for our warm drinks which was little consolation for the whole experience. my wife has worked infoodindustry and we eat out and undertand goodfoodincluding cooking it.

the riverside views of brisbane are amazing, and the service is fast and friendly. unfortunately i did not enjoy thefood- we ordered a dish with a processed vegetable stack which tasted like baby food. the presentation was good but unfortunately thefoodwas not. for dessert i had a crème brulee and the custard was too thick, and the pastry was very hard.

wow! what a fun night full of deliciousfoodfrom start to finish. i was meeting my family there and had some trouble finding the place. the head chef and owner came out of the restaurant to find me!! he then brought me back to his beautiful restaurant and the moment i sat down, the laughs began. he is extremely hospitable and made us all laugh the whole night. such an amazing view and the food!!! so good and so well priced. perfect for a date or family and friends. thanks for the amazing night la vue!!

simply spectacular. i posted a review when they first opened last year. since then, i've dined several times again and organised work functions (one for 23 people) and each and every time everything has been amazing. the food, the service, the view, the wine! everything. brisbane needs to support this restaurant.. let friends know.. it seems a little out of the way but it really isn't.. the walk along the river is a great way to start the experience.. and the amazingfoodand service just ticks all the boxes. this really is a "must do".

absolutely brilliant. just opened (used to be venice café) and they've done a great job. we went for lunch there and there were five of us and had four different meals, and everyone was very impressed. really reasonable (my eye fillet was $28!!).. and you're right on the brisbane river with great views. staff were super helpful. we will definitely be returning.

most incredible view and service, thefoodwas impeccable and could not be faulted! the owner rinaldo was incredibly hospitable and makes the restaurant feel so much more welcoming, ideal for any function, dinner or dessert treat! highly recommend :) i will be back!!

thanks to la vue, our wedding reception's food, service and ambiance was amazing. my partner and i choose to have our wedding reception at la vue for the stunning location on the brisbane river, excellentfoodand the relaxed and charming intimate restaurant atmosphere. la vue accommodated 50 or so of our friends and family and made our wedding day a truly amazing experience. kenny (manager) was excellent to deal with during the lead up to our event, they were accommodating with changes to guest numbers, seating arrangements and the menu. the restaurant set up was fantastic, the cake and table decorations featured well on the day against the stunning storey bridge as a back drop. our menu was elegant and we have received so many compliments on the quality and presentation of the food. to start we chose alternate drops of duck risotto or king prawns followed by chicken and mushroom ballottine or veal fillet.

the la vue staff made the overall dining experience fantastic. the ambiance, décor and service were of the highest standard, allfoodcame out promptly and our event ran very close to our desired timing. our guests have given feedback that all the servers on the day were pleasant and attentive to our guests needs. la vue's wine and beverage list was extremely comprehensive and i had no issues choosing an excellent wide variety of wines for the day which our patrons thoroughly enjoyed.

we look forward to coming back to la vue for a meal when we next visit brisbane. we couldn't fault anything for our event, everything went perfectly. we highly recommend this restaurant for weddings or events as you won't be disappointed and we thank renaldo and his team for making our wedding on easter saturday the best day of our lives.

superlative service - wonderful food. we visited la vue on the 23rd of january and were very impressed with the level of service received. the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and thefoodwas fantastic. we definitely would go again.

excellent view, excellent service and excellent food.. i have dined at la vue twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. the difference here is that it is actually an 'experience', something that is hard to find on the brisbanefoodscene. i found thefoodgreat, especially the seafood, and the service was attentive and professional. the highlight is the intimate view of the story bridge which gives a different vibe from the other riverside options.

disappointed.foodwas very ordinary for the price.good wine list.

excellent staff who were very knowledgable about the menu. they were extremely helpful when i spilt red wine all over my dress and quickly supplied me with soda water to minimise staining. this incident did not stop us from having a wonderful evening as the staff ensured it was all cleaned up and forgotten. the view of the story bridge was unparalleled and thefoodwas exquisite. we will be going back for seconds!
