Fabulous food, service and setting. One of the most enjoyable bottomless brunches in Brisbane. The service was super friendly and our server checked on us frequently enough that we were never waiting for more drinks or food. Parked in the Uptown car park, and walked 5 mins to the venue. Update for parking. If you are going to Bottomless Brunch or Hightea on the weekend look up parking @ 40 Tank Street. Book online for $18, or pay $27 for drive up parking. Our 2nd visit was every bit as good as the first time. We haven't tried the Hightea yet, but it looks amazing.
Came here at the end of December last year and they had a set menu as it was the Christmas/New year holidays. As we came in we were greeted by one of the waiters however he was treating us as his friends as if we new him and when we asked him to explain one of the food that he gave us he couldn’t explain and said idk man it’s some sauce. We were confused if we knew him as he was around our age but neither of us could recall who he was. Sometimes when he was talking he was also laughing as if he knew something that we didn’t. But he left and we had a new waiter so all was good. Moreover the food looked really good on the menu however when as it came out we were more and more disappointed. Some of the sauces that were added to the dish were too overpowering and didn’t necessarily suit. A few dishes were cold dishes which didn’t bother us but the sauces were hot? So it felt like we were eating microwaved food. However the salmon was really nice and fresh and the tataki was also really good. Although this set menu wasn’t our favourite, we are definitely coming again to try the other ones they’ve got! The overall atmosphere was really nice. This was a set menu so this experience doesn’t fully reflect what this place can offer so we’re hoping our next time we will be better.
Ordered the lunch quick menu CharSiew Ramen soup. Taste not so Japanese. Presentation was good. Staff service was excellent and warm. Ambience of the place was quiet and comfortable. A good place to relax.
Exceptional. Our Zen High Tea lived up to the Instagram hype. The selection was wonderful, and all high quality. A great range and balance of sweet and savoury, and the textures and flavours were often surprising and delightful! The Zen chocolate house was too big, so we deconstructed that and took it home. Service was very schmick, and the venue had a wonderful feel. Very well priced for what was included, and it was such a classy and relaxed dining experience. We explored the full menu, and look forward to returning. So pleased to see the menu included a glossary and shared the source of produce (all local!!). We are so pleased to have found this gem.
Loved that I finally got to try this place. I was looking for something different to the usual High Tea that others seem to provide. 1603 didn’t disappoint! From the moment we were seated, we were made to feel special. I had made mention in my reservation that it was my birthday, the staff wished me happy birthday without it being a big affair, which I was very impressed by. I loved the Japanese inspired style of the high tea, from the sashimi to the Japanese tea. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone wanting something different. We will definitely be back!
