    Now if there is one thing I find annoying it is advertising which misleads. Lunches for 2 for 1 are all over the entrance to this very Greek looking restaurant as you head up the escalators. Im confused... it looks like a fine dining place but food is 2 for 1? Hell... let's try it out anyway. Its clean it is fine dining and the waiter service is next to none. Food comes out quickly too. My lamb and snapper were overcooked though and well.. garlic bread a seafood chowder, snapper and lamb set us back 90 over dollars. My issue is mainly that no one would pay full price for this in theory... one can argue menu prices which reflect the 2 for 1 should just be the standard orices because they are that much. I am not going to be in a hurry back. This place was ok but nothing really stood out for me for that price.

    Big serving size. Prawn fettuccine. Yum

    This place is a sure hit! We rocked up at 6.30pm for tea and it was already bustling with patrons! We were ushered to the waiting area and the wait staff said we could get a table in 30-45 mins which was fine by us as we managed to score the half price menu (if you dine before 6.30pm) and enjoyed bevvies, overlooking the river/story bridge. Mary, our waitress introduced herself as we were seated and was super attentive and friendly the whole night which made our experience that extra special. We had oysters, prawn fettuccine, moreton bay bug and garlic prawns. Oh my the dishes were impeccable. The fettuccine was a generous serve. Enough to share between two. The bug is definitely the dish of the night and a must have if you are into your crustaceans and wanting something exquisite. The oysters are probably one the best ones we had. Plum, juicy and fresh. Prices were a bit on the high side but I can't complain on this as we had the half price special! :p This gem of a place is definitely a great find along Eagle st! 10/10

    Classic seafood restaurant in a riverfront location. Enjoyed the food and the service was great!

    Despite its misleading name, George's Paragon is NOT on George St. I discovered this after wandering haplessly up and down George St in the city for about 20 minutes the other week. My phone battery was flat, I was wearing pointy high heels and I hadn't bothered to look up the restaurant's secret location before leaving work. Only the thought of half price lobster kept me wandering up and down the street. Luckily, I finally remembered my husband mentioning the address that morning (Eagle St Pier) and arrived just in time to order off their half price menu. George's Paragon is an up-market Greek style restaurant specialising in seafood and traditional Mediterranean dishes. With its gorgeous view over the Brisbane River and the Storey Bridge, plus a generous half price dinner menu when seated between 5:30 - 6:30 on a weeknight, its popularity is understandable. I ordered the Barouti while my husband went with the Moreton Bay Bugs. When my meal arrived, I couldn't believe the huge serving of barramundi, prawns, scallops and bugs smothered in a creamy sauce. On tasting, the seafood was fresh and the scallops were generous, plump morsels which melted in my mouth. My husband, who is probably a more discerning diner was less impressed with size than quality. He rated his Moreton Bay Bugs as average and we both agreed that the side of chips were pretty bad. Shoe-string fries probably would have gone with the meal instead of their chunky, stale potato cuts. Still, the view was perfect, the meal was mostly delicious and the price was generous. This is one seafood restaurant to try before Christmas.

    Platter was very nice, a little pricey, the fresh fruit was a great freshener after all the seafood.

    The general rule of thumb is that when you find an awesome fish and chip shop, you stick to it. I…read morecan tell you that my attachment to my local fish and chippery, Fish's in Teneriffe, might be a little unhealthy. And not just in the beer-battered kind of a way. It has gotten to a point where I turn my nose up and any other option for the combination of potatoes and barramundi. Now that's good fish and chips! Although I usually indulge in the takeaway variety, Fish's is also a restaurant and has a relaxed, family atmosphere. Along with the usual fish and chips, there are burgers, seafood platters, meals, mussels, oysters, prawns and calamari also on offer. If it comes from the ocean, chances are Fish's have it! And it's as fresh as fresh can be. If you are looking for somewhere to get excellent fresh prawns for Christmas or a BBQ, theirs come highly recommended by me! As does the cajun fish. I veered away from crumbed fish a little while ago and lashed out with the cajun (a big deal considering I'm a creature of habit) and it is awesome! For reasonable prices, Fish's offer huge portions of (in my opinion) the best fish and chips in Brisbane. The wait is never long and the food is fresh and delicious. Get to Teneriffe for a taste!

When we walked up to the greeter she asked, "what do you want." I looked around to see if she was talking to someone else. There was no one else. And then I thought maybe she confused me for someone she knew. That was not the case either. I said, "This is a restaurant, isn't it?" And then my husband tried to defuse the tension by making a joke about turtles eating jellyfish. It was all just awkward and weird, but she was just the greeter, and we sat and ordered drinks and a pre-dinner appetizer. The waiter was not a particularly happy person either, so after the app, we paid our bill and went to another restaurant for dinner. Every place can have a bad day, and when staff is fighting with each other they can take it out on everyone else, but OMG, the service we received here was awful. P.S. That appetizer was good.

Got the scallops as a starter and they are very small - it's mostly a giant empty plate with sauce decoration. The barramundi was okay but there is better barramundi for much less.

Located in the Central Station. Easy access by train or bus. Price: dinner $69-$79, breakfast $59, not sure about lunch. The price doesn't include drinks. But the drink prices are normal and affordable. Food: huge variety!!! Believe me! My partner and I have tried other buffet package in other restaurants and hotels around Brisbane and Gold Coast. This has been our most favourite. The price worth what you get! I've posted many pictures of the restaurants and some of the food. Check them out! Huge variety in starters, main food, SEAFOOD, and desserts. I cannot mention each of the food because it's too many. Hehe Service: the best! The waitress was very friendly with nice genuine smile. She kept our table always clean every time and kept on refilling water without us asking for more. She always serve things for me first and then my partner. That is the correct manner of serving meal/drinks in restaurants, which is ladies first. My partner booked a table for this dinner and requested a special seating because it's for our anniversary dinner. And when we arrived, we were placed in perfect spot in the corner, with great view, and feeling more private. It was the first great impression of the night. They did not forget our request. At the end of the night when we were enjoying our desserts, a waitress came with a complementary sweets plate from the chef, with candle and plate was written 'happy anniversary'. That was really nice. (Check out the picture). This kind of amazing service will the one make us to keep coming back to this place. I'll update this review or write another review if I try their breakfast buffet next time. Hopefully it's as good as the dinner :)

While seated, we repeatedly asked where our food was, as it took over 90 minutes to arrive, and our sides never came at all. The table next to us was also missing their sides. Despite us raising these concerns, the woman in charge never came to our table directly, instead, a waitress was sent back and forth relaying messages, which was incredibly frustrating and completely unprofessional. After we finally finished eating, staff did take away a few items from the bill, but for the long wait and the amount of food we never received, including crab, rice, and other items, it still wasn't worth what we were being charged. We tried to calmly work through the bill at the counter, pointing out what we hadn't received, but some items were still left on the bill. We went back and forth for at least five minutes just trying to get the final snow crab (which never came) removed from the bill. Instead of resolving the issue, the woman in charge told us she had been instructed over the phone by another manager to call the police, simply because we were trying to explain what was missing and make sure we were only charged for what we got. The situation was handled with zero professionalism and absolutely no attempt to de-escalate. And to make matters worse, we had brought THREE packets of birthday candles, and all of them were used on other people's cakes for other tables. While at the counter, I saw one of our candles in a cake in the back room, and when I asked about it, the staff member pulled it out of that cake and tried to hand it back to me. Completely unacceptable and unhygienic. What was supposed to be a fun birthday celebration turned into a frustrating, stressful, and embarrassing experience. Between the delays, missing food, poor communication, and the unnecessary involvement of the police over one missing item, this was by far the worst dining experience I've ever had. I absolutely would not recommend this place to anyone. They need serious training in communication, customer service, and basic hygiene.

I am not a big eater by any means, however I ordered 2 half mudcrabs and 5 half bugs. My husband ordered 2 half lobsters and 5 half bugs. The mud crabs were so small I complained. The bugs, well 1 mouthful out of each bug. The mud crabs were that small, I asked the manager if they were in fact mud crabs? because they were the size of blue swimmers. He said yes they were mud crabs, and the were very small at the moment. I contacted Dept of Fisheries on Saturday and made a formal complaint.... the minimum size of a mud crab to be caught in Queensland is 15cm across the body, I told the Dept of Fisheries that these mud crabs were not even 10cm across. The Dept of Fisheries advised they would investigate. They called me back this morning and told me that the mud crabs and bugs were imported from Fiji, and they don't have a minimum size requirement. so they can get away with it. Dept of Fisheries told me we were served blue swimmers - not mud crabs...although some of the claws were mud crab claws The manager gave us a $70 discount, and we paid $101. I would not have even paid $100 for what we were served. I am not a big eater by any means, and we left the restaurant still hungry. MY SUGESTION ...... if you do decide to go there, ask if they serve Queensland mud crabs and bugs, or are they imported. So incredibly disappointed.... Yvonne Kirby
