I told our waitress Camille that the food was excellent but the service was better. The Rib on the bone was fantastic and my wife’s charred mushroom pasta was delicious. The fact that you had my favorite Fortaleza tequila was a plus. Camille anticipated our every need. Truly a great experience!!
We liked it so much that after having the Power Banquet ($54) one day, we decided to go again during our short stay in Brisbane. On the second time, we had the Drover's Delight Banquet ($84), and it was as good as the first time. The seared scallops were the best we ever had - they were fantastic! The Jamon Iberico with the Artisan Sourdough Ciabatta was excellent (Power Banquet). We also enjoyed very much the sirloin (Drover's Delight, not from the Power Banquet). The service was good.
Learn from my mistake, be familiar with the menu before you go. Still giving 5 stars as it's not the restaurant's fault, but mine for not researching the prices beforehand. While it was a shock, it could have easily been avoided with prior organisation. Food: steaks tasted spectacular, complimentary sides were delicious, everyone left full with some food left over. One person received blue/rare steak when he ordered medium rare, but everyone else received exactly the steak they ordered. Service: We arrived with a party of 10, with a late booking, and yet the waitstaff made us feel welcome. They worked together to keep us served, and while we were served our steaks long after the kitchen should have been closed, the food was still hot and cooked to our specifications. Additionally, without prior arrangement, the staff discovered we were celebrating a graduation, and whipped up a lovely complimentary dessert. Atmosphere: the atmosphere of the restaurant actually clued us in that this was a higher quality (and price) steakhouse than expected, before we even saw the menu. It's clean, quiet, lushly planted, and feels opulent. There is wheelchair accessibility, but there are stairs at the front entrance. You will need to use the back door. I recommend this place, but be familiar with the menu/prices beforehand. You certainly get what you pay for, with fantastic service and food.
Six of us had a table. We’ve decided that set menu is the right thing to do, you got to try few smaller dishes. Came out good , very fresh good presentation and they are all delicious!!! Special thanks to Tony he looked after us well, the place was packed , but Tony and the rest of the team managed to perfectly executed the task. Good spaces between dishes, if you’re that person like pairing your drink with your food. You’ll be well liked here, anyway we enjoyed our gathering and we’ll be back again, cheers!
We had the 9 course power banquet. I’m every bite had so much flavour and cooked to perfection. Side note the oysters had a very strong taste so if you’re not a fan I wouldn’t recommend. Otherwise it was a great experience our waiter Benji was superb! We sat outside and there were little friends flying around and decided to go into my wine. Our waiter was kind enough to give me a new full glass. The food came out really quick too but that could be cause it was a quiet time as we ate at 3pm.
I was recommended this restaurant through a friend who is a chef. We were five of us and I booked $50 power banquet course. Every food was fresh and delightful no matter the cost. Especially we loved entree scallop. The wait staffs gave us great wine recommendations. Each plate had its own taste, and it was a very well-cooked and decent course. They knew what they're doing. Fancy atmosphere and service that goes well with both casual lunch and dinner dates. Absolutely recommended.
I've done dozens of top steak restaurants across UK, USA, South Africa and Australia over 30 years and I've got a pretty good eye for the good and the bad. This one is genuinely very good. You will see some picky comments on here which will always be the case as perfection doesn't exist, but overall this was an excellent experience in all areas - steak, sides, service, ambience and fair pricing, particularly the wine Will definitely go again If I can indulge a small gripe, it was just the manager coming over and blatantly interrupting our discussion with our waiter, as if we were invisible and starting a conversation with him. We all looked at each other a bit stunned. He never even said 'excuse me' 🤣 Sometimes the position makes them lose their memory of who the customer is in their business.
We celebrated my birthday here and it was a wonderful experience. The steak was excellent. Perfectly cooked and so flavoursome. The entrees were good, but I found the scallops to be slightly overcooked, and the king prawns just ok. The bread roll with bone marrow butter was delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly. At the end of the meal, they brought out a birthday dessert on the house. It is expensive but would love to dine here again.
Overall enjoyable experience though quite expensive when all added up and wouldnt consider it value for money at all. The service was good - attentive and professional, and the ambiance was comfortable and relaxed. Steaks were good, well cooked and flavourful. Some of the cocktails were excellent, others average. Wagyu bites (chefs special snack) were majority batter and literally only a few strands of meat that couldnt be tasted at all. Desserts were average, and wouldnt recommend. Ordered panna cotta and creme brulee - not sure if an intentional twist on traditional but they were both warm and the pannacotta was completely unset. Overall I probably wouldnt recommend it for an all-out experience unfortunately.
Horrendous service and food quality. Had a staff member walk away while I was asking a question about a dish. Waited 50 minutes for drinks to arrive with nothing offered. Only decent quantity part of the banquet was a sirloin steak that was so poorly cooked it was Mostly inedible. Only passable part of the meal was the Panna Cotta desert that unfortunately I was unable to eat. Over $400 for 4 people to then need to go and get something else to eat is a joke! Up there with the worst dining experience of my life. Oh, they took one round of drinks off the bill when I made the person at the front counter aware of my displeasure and still charged me $380!
The steak and service here is amazing. I live locally and myself comming back time and time again :) Thanks Team! Parking: Parking downstairs Kid-friendliness: Child friendly
Was a truly great experience. The food was great and the service was exceptional.
Tony was our waiter and he was just excellent. Lovely service lovely food. Thank you
We had the $54 banquet and were incredibly impressed by the quality and generous amount of food provided. Our waiter Tony was fantastic, very friendly and professional but had great conversation skills, not to mention great wine recommendations. Parking: Park underneath
Had the power lunch great value in a lovely setting. Staff very helpful and attentive. Overall a lovely experience.
The food was perfect, and Ellyd was very helpful and generous with our time (and helped us practice Spanish). 10/10
Power Banquet was great value, great food, great service. We ate at 4:45pm before a show. Gluten free options were given or gluten items put on the side. Red wine superb. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread given roll which was soft and plenty. I m not a celiac so was fine for me to have the fries and the crumbs on the side for the scollops.
Oysters seemed to not be fresh Otherwise all okay Regular diner Food : 3/5
Delicious steak ,sides and dessert was great! Really friendly service, we will be back again :)
This is the fourth time I have eaten here - everything is so fabulous it certainly won t be the last. Parking: With Woolworths in the complex there are plenty of paid parking options.
Amazing food and Tony was lovely!
Tony was great, attentive and knowledgeable. Dietary restrictions: One of group had an allergy and they were very accommodating. Food : 5/5 |
Tibet was a wonderful host.
Our table waiter and overall service was great, fairly quick with food but the food was far from amazing, wont be returning
Got the power banquet Food Pros -oysters -cured meat -sour dough -desert Food cons -scallops were hard and over cooked -Lettus wasnt pre cut -steak very disappointing, asked for med rare came out small Gray med well, sent it back came out after rare, Gray, bland and very fatty. They offered a free desert and appoligise that was lovely. Service was flawless.. Tibet was amazing,!! Accommodating and ontop of everything. Over all. I probably wouldnt say it is worth the money, I did have higher expectations. But the service and vibe is great for cocktail night.
Amazing meal, great staff and lovely ambience
We were looked after by the bar manager, gave the most exceptional service & provided cocktail suggestions. We trusted his guidance & were amazing every time. Will definitely be coming back
Food was great, but the service is what made the experience so good the bar manager was excellent. Definitely coming back again.
Steak was exceptional and service first class. A really great experience. Thanks Rich and Rare. We ll be back again.
Great food, vibe and service. I would recommend the Lunch Banquet!
Very annoying there was nothing I could possibly complaint about.
we enjoyed a lovely anniversary dinner at rich and rare and it did not disappoint. amazing service by the staff, especially tony, from start to finish. food was incredible and would definitely recommend to anyone. thanks team!
Maximiliaan was our wait staff member. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable about the food and drinks menu and attentive. The atmosphere is great. This is not a steak place although fine, aged, wagyu and wood fired beef is their specially. This is fine dining quality all the way and the wagyu was perfecrly cooked and a religious experience to enjoy. The signature cocktails are innovative and delicious. Not inexpensive but no more expensive than you would expect for the quality. All in all a fantastic experience.
Had a wonderful lunch yesterday with a mate at Rich & Rare. The Scotch Fillet was just perfect; the best steak i have had in an age! Plus the service was friendly and efficient. Well definitely be going back again.
Tony was awesome looking after us. Had the power banquet and the food was amazing.
We had a wonderful lunch today and will definitely return. Our waitress Ludmilla was wonderful and helped make the experience amazing.
Delicious dinner with a large group. Food, service and atmosphere all amazing. Shout out to Tony going above and beyond for us. We really appreciated it
Food was amazing great service from Tony.
Beautiful venue, staff and food!! We had the most wonderful dining experience for our friends birthday, in which Benji looked after our table. He was very welcoming, knowledgable and professional with a great sense of humour and making us feel really comfortable. The food was phenomenal, mouth watering steaks and sides, it speaks for it self! We will be back again very soon! Thank you Benji and R & R Team <3
Great time and food experience, hard to find an amazing octopus, we appreciate the service from all team and the top chef Bryan.
Fantastic thank you!
The food was divine. Our steak was cooked to perfection, the starters were delicious, and the sides were incredibly tasty. It was so good I forgot to take photos! The service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend, we will definitely be returning.
Great value banquet Parking: Under West End Village. Depends on time but usually get a park. First two hours free I think so cost $5 Food : 5/5 |
Outstanding service by Vinny. We were made to feel special and enjoyed the superb food and presentation. The wines were also wonderful. It was pretty noisy inside.
Visited on a busy Saturday night for dinner with friends. Our server, a gent with a South American accent, made our night. He was friendly, courteous and offered succinct advice where needed. Shouts to him. For entrees we ordered ciabatta, marinated olives, camembert and oysters. I didnt have the oysters but others said they were spot on. The camembert was very good. For main, I ordered the 250g wagyu rump cap (medium well). It was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed every bite. Others ordered Chefs Secret (I tasted some, very good!), wagyu tomahawk and market fish (swordfish in this instance). Everybody raved about their choice. Most people had kipfler potatoes or green beans as a side. The beans were nice. The potatoes were ok but nothing out of the ordinary. I had creme brulee for dessert. Fairly standard and didnt hit the high notes the main meals did, but whatever. Genuinely one of the best dinners Ive had in a long long time. 10/10, would return. Giving this rating due to service and standard of meals. If I had to be picky about anything, the shared bathrooms are a bit weird for a high end venue.
Maxillian was our waiter and the service was top shelf. Was very attentive and our experience memorable. Thanks Max
Great service by Tony and the service team. Amazing food, would definitely recommend!!!
Highly recommend!
10% weekend surcharge that should just be baked into the price Edit: just because you can doesn t mean you should. Very easy to include it in the listed price on the menu. Highly doubt all the extra money charged is only going to staff wages.
Food was absolutely incredible. The tomahawk was cooked to perfection. Finn was our waiter and he was incredible, no only did he check on us a perfect amount of times, he was very professional and a top bloke! Finn also had GREAT recommendations for the entrees- Baked Camembert with Bread and the Beef Takati. Definitely will be visiting again.
Unreal across the board
Amazing experience, Ben was brilliant and very informative! Will definitely come back.
Ben was amazing, cocktails elite and best vibe 10/10 Food
Ben was gorgeous, and amazing service he was so lovely. 10/10
Delicious food and great service
Great wine list and good beers. For the food, I recommend sticking to the steaks and the sides. They are this restaurants forte and the best option to get a really good meal. Food
We had a group dinner here with our friends. The place was great as well as the service but what took us with great shock was our bill. They were serving us of what we thought was tap water until we saw it in the bill that they have charged each one of us including the children but not once where we were ask about it. Also, the service fee here is astounding. We ve been to a couple of fancy dining restaurants, even fancier but never charged this high. So for those planning to try this place, i d say to be aware of the prices coz you will probably end up with 30%-40% higher bill than what you expect. Overall it was a good experience but I d probably won t try it here again.
Tibet was a wonderful waiter. He was very funny and nice and could carry lots of plates at once which was cool. We had lots of good laughs and he really made our experience really enjoyable. The food was good too.
This restaurant provided a lovely setting to celebrate my partner s birthday, especially as they are a steak lover. However, my experience fell short of expectations. I ordered a medium-well sirloin, but it was served very rare. As I wasn t particularly hungry, I chose not to mention it to the waiter at the time, but I believe a nearly untouched plate might have warranted a follow-up from the staff to ensure everything was satisfactory. As a steak restaurant, I would have expected doneness to be a point of mastery, but unfortunately, this was a significant miss for me. Given the premium pricing and reputation, I left feeling underwhelmed. While it was a memorable evening for my partner, I ll likely be returning to MooMoo for future special occasions as my preferred steak restaurant in Brisbane.
Amazing lunch, food and service by Tony was first class.
The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Shout out to Tony who was very professional and knowledgeable with great recommendations!
Yesterday we were having dinner here for my birthday, our waiter was Mr. Tony, always very attentive, friendly and willing to help with any questions we had about the menu. The food was very good, we tried the 9-Course banquet, very good and complete, we loved it and we will surely be returning to try other dishes on the menu! 100% recommended.
We had an amazing lunch and a couple of delicious cocktails. Very classy and the staff made us feel like VIP, will definitely be back Parking: Parking was under the village shopping centre. Unfortunately they changed for over 2 hours after a relaxing and amazing lunch that just went over the 2 hours once we checked out all their other shops. No ticket given so no chance to validate
A fantastic birthday banquet lunch out with the girls! Food was amazing, oysters, scallops, steak & the birthday dessert was much appreciated. Special thanks to Tony our waiter. Great singing voice!
$50 banquet dinner
Absolutely amazing food, service and atmosphere. Full marks, I would highly recommend to all.
We arrived before 5:30pm for the Power Banquet for $54. We had been given a gift voucher as a birthday present for my husband a couple of months earlier. Everything was delicious. My favourite dishes were the scallops, the Barra, the steak and the lettuce (OMG). The courses came along at a good pace and we were easily out within 2 hours. Max, our waiter and my husband s namesake looked after us superbly and attentively even down to bringing out the dessert with happy birthday and a sparkler! The venue is easy to access and at 5:30pm it was quiet. By 6:30pm it was obvious how much people have taken to Rich and Rare as it was nearly full. We will be back and will be thoroughly recommending it to our friends. Michael Tassis you have another successful restaurant. Bravo! Parking: Under the West Village - 2 hours free.
2nd time visiting. First with my family and 2nd time with work colleagues. Food green, service great, staff were able to adjust menu due to a dietary restriction. Everyone left happy Dietary restrictions: 2 were gluten and dairy intolerant
Maximo was by far the best waiter I ve ever had at a restaurant. Any owner would be lucky to have him part of their team representing their company.
Fine dining, at its best. Im not usually one for gourmet food, but this was outstanding. Flavour in every bite, presentation made you want to stop and admire, selection for everyones tastes and service that engaged. There are too few places Id recommend and want to visit again, but this is one.
Lovely banquet lunch, good value for money, they were happy to swap oysters for scallops (because we hate oysters) and our friendly server Tony was great!!!
We had the most lovely afternoon. Tony was excellent, we couldnt have asked for a more attentive host!
I went to Rich and Rare with a group of friends for a birthday dinner and we had the best time. Food was amazing, the waitress Camille was absolutely lovely and made us feel at home, plus she had offered great recommendations for us. Definitely recommend!
Amazing food and very warm welcome and guidance through the menu.
What a great experience, food was delicious, service was perfect.
Exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. Camille is very hospitable and accomodating waitress.
Rich and Rare is an experience you dont want to miss. The atmosphere is simple but perfect. The dry aged sirloin was worth the visit. Camille, your service was exceptional, thank you for making a special night even more special.
First time diners tonight at Rich and Rare. Jackson was our waiter. Great service, great recommendations, great food.
Great meal - great deal - great atmosphere We will definitely be back Food
The food was delicious and the variety of options on the menu is amazing. The restaurant has lovely ambient lighting and the service was wonderful. Parking: You are able to park at the underground West End Village Secure Parking. First 2 hours are free. It is only a short walk up the escalators to the restaurant.
Power banquet was amazing value and quality. Service was outstanding - we had an excellent waitress that went above and beyond. Will be back. Food
Excellent Parking: Easy to find Food : 5/5 |
Excellent service by Tony
This was my first visit to Rich & Rare and it was a fantastic experience! Exceptional service and the food was incredible. Thank you team for such a great dining experience! see you again soon. Food : 5/5
10/10 experience for food, atmosphere and customer service. We had the Rich and Rare Experience banquet, and it was worth cent, so much value for money. We love going to large course meals and for $180 you get so much out of it! The customer service from the whole team was amazing and our waiter Max was sooooo lovely and helpful! We were celebrating our engagement for dinner and they made it really special through out the night. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be coming back. The steak tartare is to die for and the bone marrow mash. We loved every part of the meal, even the bread and butter was top tier!! Thank you! Dietary restrictions: They had amazing dietary restrictions.
Excellent steak, all dishes on the night were outstanding along with the service. Great range of wine a memorable evening.
Excellent experience, the food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Ask for Max as your waiter and you will not be disappointed. Will return and recommend.
Tony was great.
Today, I had a dinner date with my boyfriend. Rich and Rare has always been one of the places on our list to try. We d been waiting for a special occasion, and today, our anniversary, was the perfect time. A huge thanks to Rich and Rare for giving us such a lovely evening. Every dish was spot on, especially the wagyu tataki, scallops, and Angus steak, which really blew us away. A special mention to our waiter, Benji. He was so attentive to every diner, quick to pick up on little cues, and gave us top-notch table service. He really made our dinner experience even better. Thanks to all the staff at Rich and Rare for giving us incredible dining experience! Btw it would be great if the steak could be served on a darker plate looks better in photos, hahaha!
We specifically searched for a good steakhouse on Google. And found! We reserved online, a bit complicated, you also have to pay 20 AUD in advance by credit card for the reservation. If you dont show up for the reserved appointment, AUD 20 will be deducted from the credit card. In any case, we had a great place, sensational service!!! with advice on the various steaks. The octopus to share as a starter is a dream The Wagyu (200 g flank) was very tasty, I chose it based on our waiters recommendation and was thrilled! The only thing I didnt like was the leaf lettuce. The olive oil used had a very dominant taste and vinegar/acid was completely missing. The fries and the Bernaise sauce were perfect. With my husbands steak, also Wagyu, the beans were very firm to the bite, but the potatoes were generous in quantity and tasted good R&R is definitely recommended
Great service and the best steak ever(and I eat a lot of steak!).
Service and Food was great. Will definitely come back
Great food and ambience. Very friendly staff, especially Tony. Love to come back and will come back for a nice time
This place has great customer service, the staff and Tony are very friendly and polite. The food experience is excellent and has a variety of different tastes and options, the atmosphere is calming, the songs are great and is surrounded by lots of conversation and laughter. Overall this restaurant is 5 stars.
It was amazing! Tibet is really nice and cute
I picked this restaurant out of the hat for my birthday celebration and it didn t let me down at all!! I think this has become one of my favourite restaurants in Brisbane now! The food, absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! The service, outstanding from our lovely waiter Max, who went out and beyond to accomodate out needs and requests. I got a happy bday dessert from the house which was very special too! If you want a special night out with delicious dinner, this is THE PLACE!! Kid-friendliness: They provided colours and sketch for kids to draw.
Phenomenal value with the Power Banquet and totally delicious. Highly recommend!
The service attitude was particularly poor. I ordered a power Banquet, but the salad didnt serve. When I informed the waiter while they try to clearing the plates, the waiter said, Do you want me to serve the salad STILL! Of course, I paid for the Banquet. As his attitude, he probably doesnt want to serve the salad, he didnt feel sorry, he takes it for granted. The service attitude is particularly bad. I ordered a set meal but the salad was not served. I informed him when the plates were collected at the service station. The waiter said: Do you want me to serve salad? Of course, I paid for the package, don t I want to join it?
amazing power banquet
Delicious food and great service. The steak is incredible
Most delicious Wagyu steak + potatos! So fantastic, the atmosphere is beautiful and staff welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend+ come again! Food
Food was amazing ! We got 2 x 200g fillet steaks( rare), with the potatoes (drizzled with some sort of basil oil), mac and cheese, green beans and peppercorn sauce. Everything was really really nice! Service was great! Waiter was very nice and attentive. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for any occasion or just like us if you want a really GREAT and steak and sides !
We had the power banquet which was fantastic and a beautiful bottle of wine. The service was warm and welcoming We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our experience, special mention to Tony Prince for his attention to detail, highly recommended Food : 5/5
Max the waiter was tremendous. Food was excellent and amazing value.
Can t wait to come back
Came here for a friends birthday and had the power banquet. Great food and value. Awesome service from Max! Very attentive and professional. Would definitely recommend.
Everything was absolutely excellent- can t fault a thing. The banquet offered a great opportunity to otherwise sample what s on offer, dishes were cooked to perfection and well seasoned. And the service! Well it just elevated everything into the stratosphere.
Have been wanting to come here for a long time. Finally made it and it was so worth the wait. Everything was absolutely impeccable. The outstanding thing for me was the friendly service. Definitely going to be my regular.
Tony was a great waiter! We had the Powr Banquet and he knew a heap about the food and where it came from! He was super friendly and provided quick service! Absolutely recommend to dine here. Thanks Tony!!
Food was delicious. The power banquet is excellent value for money and the food is great. Tony was exceptional and made for a great evening
Exceptional service from Max. Great food and drinks. Will definitely be back, thank you.
Beans were overcooked. Ordered sirloin to be cooked medium rare but came rare. Drinks had been forgotten despite asked twice. There are rooms for improvement on customer service too. Food : 3/5 |
Good restaurant for a quality steak!
Great value, delicious
Food is amazing, one of the best steak I had in Australia. Staffs are friendly specially Tony. Very helpful and attentive. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Food
Absolutely loved our experience here The food was phenomenal, the staff lovely and attentive. All in a all a great first time visiting, will definitely be back in future! Food
Lovely restaurant. Tony was a fantastic host, very personable and made our experience so much nicer. The food was delightful. Highly recommend.
Really good service and food. Thank you Tony
We dined here for my birthday tonight and had the early dinner banquet. We went with a gorgeous Malbec suggested by our server, Tony. Service was excellent and very happy with the quality of our food and the timing it was served. Thank you Tony and the team, we will be back!
Absolutely loved it! Best value banquet lunch in town. Had the Power Banquet and could not be happier. Everything from the bread to the barra, the steak and sauce, scallop, iceberg lettuce, even the chips, everything was divine! We all ordered the same and had the steak medium, which I loved! Some of the others on the table thought it wouldve been better slightly less done but I thought it was perfect. The service and vibes were 10/10! Checked with us on food allergies and made sure it was on point. Cant believe we hadnt tried this place earlier.
Went there for a corporate lunch meeting and tried the power banquet. I must say I wasnt able to fault the food, so top marks to the chef! Service was good and we were attended to and seated in no time! The ambience was good - new and modern surroundings nestled amongst the West End Village gardens! Yes, I would most definitely come back again to dine at R&R!
Young waiters were very friendly and very professional . Had the $50 banquet so much food and all fabulous. Would certainly go back and try other dishes. Parking: Pay after 2 hours
The people who work here and the atmosphere are incredible. Go here for an after work drink, sit at the bar, and enjoy the wine knowledge of Tibet.
Rich & Rare is a great place to spend a Friday afternoon/night. Tibet always looks after us at the bar and makes a solid suggestion for snacks between wines
Number 1 place Maximo is the best waiter out there Food
Food, drinks and service were first class. Highly recommend
This is an amazing night. Lovely to have our birthday dinner together here. Food
Meal was fantastic, Tony was so amazing and had so much knowledge. Brought out meats and explained the marbling and depth. Will be back!
Best steak I ve had in a long time. Great service too.
Delicious food and excellent services
Food was incredible from starters to mains to dessert. Really attentive and quality service too - Thanks Tony!
Good food, beautiful place ! S.O Max for your service ! Food
I absolutely love this place so completely perfect
Great food and service Thank you Tony
This was my second visit to Rich and Rare, and both experiences have been outstanding. I can confidently say it s one of the best restaurants in Brisbane! Our meal was wonderful from start to finish. The highlight was Chef Kadu s expertise with wagyu beef the wagyu flat iron just melted in your mouth, super tender and juicy on the inside with a light, flavorful crust on the outside (simply sensational). The Piamontese rice was another standout of the night, incredibly delicious Each dish was perfectly prepared, really bringing out the flavors. The service was also fantastic, especially from one of the managers who made us feel so welcome. I highly recommend Rich and Rare, especially if you re a wagyu lover. I ll definitely be back!
Been twice, second time got the r and r banquet. Steak was good, the other dishes were below average. $360 for my fiancée and I - Wouldn t go again.
Great lunch! Great staff! Dietary restrictions: We didn t need it, but we were asked. Food : 5/5 |
Shad was great and made our dinner experience very enjoyable! Thank you!
Great value and great service Shad!
Camille gave excellent service. The food was perfect. This place is a must do experience.
Exceptional service. Steak were grilled to perfection. The rump may have been slightly too chewy, but the sirloin was perfect. The sides have all been good, too.
Had the power banquet which provided good food and plenty of it, drinks were good, service was excellent. Looking forward to my next visit
Thanks for a great experience for a special dinner!
Fabulous fabulous fabulous. Our new favourite restaurant. Perfect steak. Perfectly cooked. Great ambience and friendly attentive staff.
What an extraordinary experience it was at Rich & Rare. We were four women for a long, lazy lunch, enjoying a nine-course power banquet, which is a fantastic way to taste test the menu. As most have expressed, the oysters and scallops were fresh and truly delightful. The Barramundi in a foamed miso butter bed with pickled kohlrabi topped with Tobiko was a stand out for me. The steak, joyous little nuggets of smoky goodness. Oddly I was most excited about the lettuce it did not disappoint, who knew the humble iceberg could be such a cornerstone of a meal. An outstanding wine list served us well. The meal felt extravagant but the portions were perfect for us, there s nothing worse than enjoying a meal and then regretting it later, feeling you ve overindulged. Will be back.
Great waiter. He was spot on with recommendations. Such a fabulous experience!
Great restaurant nestled amongst the dining options in West End. Organised lunch in the late afternoon and the team were very professional and the food was great. Overall ended up being quite expensive for steaks so would make sure youre ready for a high end and pricey experience
The atmosphere was pretty good but the steak and sides were kinda mid. The steak was cooked medium rare but the quality of the steak wasn t worth the money. Bone Marrow mash was the same, the concept is great but the execution wasn t done that well. Bone Marrow mash didn t really give the impact I was expecting. Steak Tartare, tasted warm and a bit sour. There wasn t any other taste to it. The chips weren t crisp, felt like they were left on the warmer for too long before being served to us
Our first visit to Rich and Rare, and we were impressed! Friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming service. Our meal - selected from the banquet options - was delicious and excellent value for money. Well rounded selection of wines by the glass and bottle. Buzzy vibe with decor highlights of leafy garden, dark woods, muted greens, stone, concrete, gleaming metals. Thanks for a fun night! Well be back!
Tony s awesome! Great food, great atmosphere and great service.
Had the power banquet and would highly recommend it. Lovely relaxing lunch in a great environment.
Great atmosphere. Tasty degustation. Friendly and personable service. Excellent choice for a birthday !
Yummy food, great service!
What a great deal - beautiful food fantastic service - felt warmly welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We had the Power Banquet - definitely worth it!! Brill value
Tried the Power Banquet with some friends and loved it. Service was amazing and food was nice. We ended up paying about $100 per head. There s a surcharge for the banquet on the weekend, which is fine. But note that they had also applied the surcharge to all of our drinks, which I found a bit odd. Still, it was a nice night out.
Good food fine wine and friendly staff
I went with my hubby to spoil him for his birthday, we decided to go for the $54 banquet and it was amazing! My hairdresser recommended the place so I decided to bring my hubby and enjoy. We booked a late lunch to have a relaxed Saturday! The lunch started with: Oysters as Entree, ciabatta warm bread and jamón Serrano, the steak (wonderful!) with a mushroom sauce and a beautiful lettuce with a nice dressing and parmensan cheese. Then a piece a barramundi... we accompanied the lunch with a gin a tonic for my hubby and a Cavernet Savignon from WA (loved it) for me. To finalise the dessert, profiteroles! Filled with a beautiful chocolate cream, when the dessert arrived was almost 4pm so we decided to have our desserts with a coffee. Perfect lunch! Then siesta!
We had our work function. Everything from food to the service were top quality. Rather than finding equal value, they upgraded our food n drink menu when they had to replace items. I personally tried their a la carte menus a month ago and they are amazing too. It s going to be our go to restaurant. Thank you. Highly recommended.
Camille our server was amazing. The food was exceptional. Will certainly be back soon
The food was amazing and the service was exceptional, would definitely recommend to friends!
Max has been our server every time we have visited and he is incredible. The food is immaculate and the drinks are always delicious. We will be back many many more times. Thanks to the team for always providing a great time.
Beautiful dining space among lush greenery, attentive, efficient and friendly service from staff. Well balanced, good quality and flavourful dishes for a Sunday lunch. The power banquet is highly recommended!
Lovely set menu with a group. Great service and fabulous food. One groups member had an allergy and an alternative was organised for her. Thanks for a lovely evening.
Group of 4 we had the $54 power banquet, every course was cooked to perfection, service was excellent, cold beer, good red wine and they have my favourite wine, cannot complain about one thing, cannot wait to go back, Thank you Rich & Rare
From the moment we walked in the door we were treated like royalty the service was first case and the food o my god you can tell when the food is good because no one is talking thank you.
Food and service was perfect
Max is amazing, he is friendly , helpful , professional and respectful. All staff are amazing - thank you Parking: As it is a very busy area, it s best to get dropped off or uber in to the place
Greta food and Tony our server was great
One of the greatest steaks I ve eaten, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Will be back
All I can say is amazing. The best steak I ve ever had. Service was second to none. Could not recommend any more to someone wanting to treat themselves.
Incredible food and excellent service from Tibet!
Luca, our Wine Diva was fantastic. No pressure to order, leave, pay. He agreed with our wine choice . Amazing food, service, atmosphere xx
Our highlight of our trip! Everything was spectacular! The quality of ingredients is super top. Just wow One of the best meals of our life !! Food
Everything was so good. Thanks for the beautiful foods. Food
Tony made us feel super welcome and was very helpful. Very good service.
Absolutely lovely evening for my birthday. The service was exceptional and the food was perfect. Atmosphere was good too but that helped that the service was so excellent that you could tell the patrons looked at ease. Highly recommend.
If I could give them 10 stars I would. What a wonderful experience. The food was divine, but what sets this place apart is the service. We were looked after by Tony and he was just superb. Thankyou Tony for a wonderful afternoon.
Thank you tony for your service
Great atmosphere and our waiter was awesome
Highly recommend the power banquet for a few friends! Theyll just keep on bringing you delicious food. The oysters were so fresh. The barramundi was crispy skinned and flaky. Steak was juicy. Do yourself a favour and get a delicious bargain
I paid 55 dollars for a small piece of snapper (Market Fish) that didnt taste fresh and the size didnt justify the price. Atmosphere is the only plus here. Come here just for drinks but skip the food.
Delicious food, fantastic service. Thanks Tony!
they were absolutely wonderful with their service, speed, and kindness to us when we dined here. we came here to celebrate a birthday and the food came out at perfect timing and the staff were lovely. Tony was great at taking care of us for the night. highly recommend !! :)
The tartare is very good.
We had the best dining experience at R&R last Saturday for lunch! Banquet for 4 of us was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was exceptional, and made our day complete. You must try R&R the steak is 5 star.
Extremely disappointing. Had the R&R Experience and it was shocking. Almost inedible. Salty, chewy meat, woolies packet salad, frozen cheesecake. The service was appalling.. the waitress had no idea.. we had to constantly coach her on what was included with the R&R Experience menu. Wines were forgotten etc. We spent over $400 for two people and felt sick paying. If you re going to have your B team on Tuesdays, maybe charge you B prices as well. Won t be back. Hold the copy and paste generic response.
Lovely, relaxed lunch. Delicious food and drinks. Excellent service. Highly recommend Rich and Rare!
Excellent experience!
5 stars, without hesitation. We started with a tangy, flavourful tartar. Devine. For mains, we moved on to the dry aged sirloin, drizzled with rich, salty jus. Incredible. On the side - creamy mash with smokey bone marrow and a refreshing lettuce salad. Delicious. Finally -The best whiskey sour I have ever had the fortune to enjoy. Wonderful. Our thanks to Rich and Rare for having us for lunch and thankyou to Vinny for your excellent service. Cant wait to come back for dinner
Shad was great!
Delightful experience with Shad. Very fulfilled by the banquet.
Had the best time. Shad was so attentive.
The restaurant is very beautiful. The service was impeccable, especially thanks to Shad, a friendly and always helpful waiter. Although we waited a bit for the meat, the food was truly excellent! Food
Shad was fantastic! Great night, highly recommend
Shad was amazing, such a fabulous evening and great atmosphere!
Absolutely faultless! The best steakhouse in Brisbane. You must sample the MB12+ range and the Chef s special cut. Thanks Kiki for making our evening so lovely, we appreciated your warm and genuine service. See you again soon!
Excellent service by Shad!
Need more stars for the service. 5 is not enough. Thank you!!
Amazing food, amazing service by Max, this is our favourite restaurant now.
It was alright, but I don t believe the cut of steak I got was worth $50 but I believe the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant is what made it very nice
We had an incredible experience at Rich & Rare West End this evening, we were running a bit late to our booking and the staff were super accomodating even putting a rush on our orders as we had an event to get to after our meal! The food was incredible, steak cooked to perfection and the side of chips we got were the star of the show, especially the dipping sauce they come with, highly recommend! The low lighting for evening bookings makes it incredibly vibey & the staff are wonderful at making recommendations and providing insight with the menu, thank you for making our experience so easy & seamless!
Delays between courses Very rowdy and load Service very attentive Parking: It s paid
Best place ever !! Can t complain but service makes it better
Absolutely incredible from start to finish.
Absolutely delicious food! Steaks were exceptional. Would highly recommend the bone marrow mash. Staff were lovely and provided great service but they were very fond of the upsell, which was a bit annoying. Beware if you cant hold your own / are a sucker for peer pressure. Will definitely go back.
Absolutely beautiful place for a Sunday lunch. Tony you are the best great customer service and the food next level
First time here and we will be back many times after this. Sat at the bar and ordered some very tasty cocktails made by Tibet. He looked after us very well and made our visit a great experience. Thanks to everyone here!
W e recently dined at Rich & Rare Restaurant and opted for the famous banquet, priced at $54 per person, with a 10% surcharge on Saturdays (excluding drinks). On the staff s recommendation, we also added the beef tataki, which featured incredible wagyu with truffle ponzu an excellent choice. Every dish in the banquet was delightful, especially the mains: the barramundi and sirloin steak were outstanding, and the oysters and scallops were equally impressive. The only slight letdown was the dessert, which was quite average, but still acceptable considering the overall value. What truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service. The staff were attentive, ensuring that our table was cleaned between each course, which is a detail even some higher-end restaurants overlook. Overall, I highly recommend Rich & Rare Restaurant for a satisfying dining experience with superb service. This version maintains the key details while providing a polished, cohesive review.
Parking: Free parking for 2 hours in West End Village Food
We have enjoyed a few meals here and just love it. Steaks are sensational and the Power Banquet is the best kept secret around!
Amazing!! Best Stake and Oysters! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. The service was amazing too!
Food came out quick, was delicious, and our waiter, Tony, was great.
Tony was awesome - thank you so much!
Excellent steak at a central location, with fantastic service (thanks Tony!). We thoroughly enjoyed our time
Great experience. The food was amazing and our waiter was awesome and answered any questions about the menu for my guests we were very well looked after. Definitely be back to try the other steaks
