We’ve enjoyed developing a whimsical dessert menu based on traditional Australian sweets, and the wine list, similarly – is a reflection of the best of Australia – without taking itself too seriously", Peter Gilmore.

    Never disappoints! We had our 1 year anniversary there last night (we were married in the restaurant upstairs last year) and it was perfect. We had a nice quiet table off to the side. Our meal was delicious. My husband had the special - Beef Vindaloo and I had the veg curry (my favourite). It was a lovely evening. The Lord Nelson has a special place in our hearts.

    We were sharing a special celebration with our nephew and girlfriend. The view from our table on the terrace overlooking the bay was spectacular. Our starters of oysters, squid, stuffed prawns and Moreton Bay bugs were delicious as was the grilled John Dory, grilled Barramundi and Snapper and chips. The service was excellent and the wine prices were correct

    We told the staff that we were running late, they assured us it will be fine. We got there and our table "garden" was waiting for us. We asked if we could get a table in the restauramt if there were any available preferably outside. They found a table for us in the restaurant. We were very happy. Then moments later a lovely staff member comes to let us know that there is a table outdoors that became available. She did not have to do that but she did it simply because they are great. We loved every minute there. Staff are THE best. View amazing. Thank you so much
