What an amazing brunch! Everything we ordered was delicious! Not only did the food taste fantastic, it was beautiful, too. Service was impeccable. Perfect timing, food was delivered hot, and so tasty. The environment was stunning, especially decorated for the holidays. Highly recommend. Note: The fire alarms went off multiple times due to someone opening a wrong door. Staff were apologetic and handled it with grace. We appreciated the manager coming by the table to apologize (not necessary) and make sure we were having a wonderful time.

What an amazing experience for our first Christmas lunch away from home in Australia. The staff were so friendly and accomodating even on Christmas Day! I never write reviews, but this place - the food, the service, the staff, the setting, even down to the lovely bathrooms. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Quality Bistro - we will certainly never forget this Christmas.
