Dear Reader,

I hope you’ve had a good week. This weekend I’m in Brisbane visiting my parents and daughters.

We’re celebrating a birthday and Christmas together.

I took everyone to the Sandgate Post Office Hotel for lunch.

In the evening one of my brothers, his daughters, my daughters, and future son-in-law came over to my parent’s place for dinner.

I went and bought scotch fillet steaks for everyone. One of my nieces made a Greek salad.

I just ate steak because I was still feeling full from breakfast and lunch.

I’ve been here before for lunch. I enjoyed it then and this meal was also good.

I asked for Queensland grown rump cooked medium rare with some oysters, squid, and prawns. One of my daughters happily ate the hot chips and I removed the batter from the prawns.

The steak was tender and had a great beef flavour. The prawns were firm and fresh. The oysters were fresh but not as plump as I would like. The squid was tender.

We had two seafood towers between four people, a porchetta and wagyu fat potatoes dish, plus a gnocchi dish. It was a big table covered in food.

Final thoughts

  • I will happily eat here again. The service is friendly and cheerful. The setting is enjoyable.

Breakfast

I did not eat the bread. I did eat the eggs, bacon, pork belly strips, and hollandaise sauce.
