    Can't be helped but when a group of young men sit nearby inside and are having a great time they are very boisterous and noisy, consequently the only way to finish enjoying our stay was actually to leave. They certainly weren't offensive tho, just having a good time. This was the comment I thought to send.

    Our group of up to 20 members really enjoys our time together at Officers Mess once each month. Most also visit at other times. The position of Officers Mess on the Brisbane River is very special, great views over the grassed area to the river. We love how children are catered for with the special swing and lots of beanbags. We are amazed at how quickly and how effectively Officers Mess has recovered from the recent unexpected weather event. A great spot to enjoy beautiful views, good food, good company and welcoming atmosphere.

    Absolutely fantastic service and great food was amazing. Catch up with friends who haven't been in contact and the staff did not at any point try to rush us or force to order. I love this cafe and have been many times.
