Really good. I own a restaurant in Melbourne and recently visited Ole for lunch. Well executed food, good service. Nice location. Only probs were no bread for a mysterious half hour, c'mon guys just bake or buy more! Also my credit card was double charged, minor stuff though, I will be back!

Whenever we're in Brisbane we like to dine at Ahmet's restaurant. It does get very busy on Friday nights, so it is advisable to make a booking. We've found that even when the place is crowded, the service is still fast.
We ordered a couple of mixed grilled platters of chicken, lamb and adana skewers and a lamb cutlet with Turkish rice and a green leaf salad. It was quite a large amount of food and it was very tasty.
We also got to see the belly dancer around 9pm. (We enjoyed the show). We'll definitely be eating here on our next visit to Brisbane.

We had breakfast here today, which ended up being lunch as we waited over 2 hours for our food! The lady in charge was rude to most customers and Very rude to my husband when he went to pay and complained about the overall experience.
I highly recommend you go somewhere else if you want a pleasant experience and enjoy customer service, 2 things that the senior staff clearly does not care about!
Overall I'd say you ruined our day! It was quite an awful experience!

Bad service. You had to be one of the lucky tables to get food otherwise it was a long time between meals. Looked upon negatively if you asked for a particular type of meat that was on the menu. Definitely not worth the money. Will not be going back.

Really nice atmosphere. They have a beautiful back terrace that overlooks the golf course. It's not overcrowded and you really feel relaxed at this place. The menu is nice. Modern Australian and really pretty reasonable so I will definitely go back again. They have kind of loyalty thing where you can sign up and get a free meal on your birthday for if you look on their website. We signed up while we were there. If you live on the North Side check it out because it's kind of a rare gem that not everyone knows about yet.

A hidden little Gem! Like a diamond in the rough! Coffee is superb and all staff can make great freshly grinded cups of caffeine tailored to suit any customers demands!
Staff are bubbly and enthusiastic and always go out of their ways to ensure that the Versatile Chef exceeds your desired level of expectation. Belinda does a wonderful job. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a excellent cup of coffee and some morning breaky, and the prices are very reasonable!

When we went for dinner there were two sittings - the early or the late each lasting for 2 hours.
The waiters come to your table and carve the various meats straight on to your plate. And they keep on coming.
It seems that people have had a mixed experience with the food but we were happy enough although we could have done with some more sides - not that we had room for them!
If you like your meat and want a lively experience that is a bit different to your normal restaurant then this is the place to go.

Food was overpriced- $19 for 4 prawns and it was nothing special- just 4 prawns BBQ cooked. Waiter was not very friendly. Waited 1 hour to get our meals. Positive was the meat balls were nice. Not the tapas you get in Spain though thats for sure.

Don't let the small-looking serves fool you, the food is flavoursome and authentic, not dumbed down to western tastes, and very filling. We had the Chicken Madras (mild yet full of flavour) the Kadahi Lamb (quite spicy-hot but not unpleasantly so) and neither was swimming in oil like you get at some restaurants. If you like a good curry that makes your sinuses run but doesn't burn the lining of your stomach, then this is pretty close to perfect.
The accompanying extras such as pappadums, aloo paratha bread and cucumber raita were fresh and complimented the curries perfectly. We also had the Kashmiri Pulao (saffron rice with nuts and sultanas) which was pretty standard but added colour to the meal.

My husband and I had lunch today and were really impressed. A great selection of fresh foods, something for everyone I would have thought. Desserts were a little bit of a let down on everything else (bit of "boxed cake" to it) but frankly, we were so full at that point it really didn't matter. Really enjoyed the little pot of chocolate mousse and the bread and butter pudding, the perfect finish. Also appreciated the readily available chilled water bottles for the table, served with a warm smile. Thanks guys! We'll be back!

This restaurant did not live up to the good reviews, felt the meat was overcooked and the 'french' dishes a sort of brisbane version relying on lots of butter. It was noisy and hard to hear my dinner companion, which was strange because it was not very crowded -- think it has bad acoustics or something. I'd try somewhere else.

I found the seafood buffet to be great value for money! There's a vast range of foods and the quality is great! I've been to the $50 seafood buffet somewhere else and the range was woeful! Broncos is so much better and so is the price.

Service bad - waitress rude and up herself. Another waitress was good but overpowered by rude waitress. Food good, but cannot move from scoopon deal. No offer of chutneys riata etc. Feeding frenzy and just want to get you out for turnover.
Never again, Scoopon brought out their intent. Money grabbing instead of dining experience. Sad.

I took a friend here last night, I wasn't expecting much since it was so cheap but was pleasantly surprised. The service was average, the indian girl had no idea what she was doing, couldn't understand us and someone else came back 5 minutes later to take our order.
The food was suprisingly great. The venue is quite nice as well, I really liked the chairs. Overall very good food and great value, I will definitely be going back.

Clearly a beautiful and memorable location. Building well maintained. Food prior to 2011 was absolutely magnificent and I would have rated 9's on every aspect. I took 2 clients there for a Sunday lunch in January 2012. I didn't appreciate being greeted as "mate" (I am female and yes, I was a regular at Summit Restaurant.
I was embarrassed to have been recognised and referred to as a regular). It's not like I ask them for a VIP discount! On this day, the service was bad. The current menu is the worst I have seen it in 10 years. There must be a new licensee. I won't take client's there again.

Restaurant had good write ups so I was looking forward to a cosy lunch with my wife with good French food. Sadly disappointed with the quality of the food which was very average. The sauces were clumsily made and could have come out of a jar. We lived in France for 3 years so I know what good French food should taste like, but this was definitely not it.

Very disappointing, terrible service and bland food.
We attended for lunch on Sunday 8th January without a reservation. The cashier/ door hostess was abrupt and gave the impression that they were booked out. After much mutterings and further curtness she decided we would be allowed to stay, an honour and privilege well above what we deserved. She never explained what the procedures were, set prices etc. Set us down and walked off. She gave the impression that she had better things to do. First impressions indeed!
The general staff were polite but unfriendly with exception of possibly the maître d’. The food was ordinary, chicken was flavourless, the three meats were bland and surprisingly not as tender as might be expected. The dessert taster was fantastic. Overall we found it to be unfriendly and overpriced at $108 for a 2 person Sunday lunch with one drink each.
