Review on Facebook – “We had Tasting Menu on the night. Every dish was cooked to the perfection! Never had a tasty beef for a very long time, steak was very tender and juicy and full of favour. Simply AMAZING!! Thumbs up for the chef. Except it’s a bit salty. However, with the extra saltiness, it blend well with a glass of Red. Desert was a surprise and a bonus for the night. Highly recommend it and will come again! In fact, this is my second time to dine at Bacchus.” – Sundance Kid

Review on Trip Advisor – “Recently had my baby shower here and enjoyed an amazing high tea. The service provided by the staff was better than any other high tea I have been too in Brisbane. They came around plenty of times offering beverages and for the price there was definitely plenty of food. Love the old school look of the Treasury. Make sure you get your ticket validated for free parking under the Treasury if you are going to high tea :)” – CatherineHeinemann
