Great food and exceptional service. We will be back again.
Will be back / great place and atmosphere. Brisbane finest
Absolutely amazing food, beautiful presentation and warming flavors. Excited to hear the arrival of new head chef!
Great atmosphere and excellent food, feels like you’re in a coney European restaurant in France
Great atmosphere and services. Really nice food. Will go back :)
Had the short course menu. Amazing food. Amazing service and amazing cocktails. Highly recommend.
Amazing atmosphere and setting. incredible flavours. We love this place. Vegetarian degustation was a hit!
The venue was packed, quite a noisy night, too bad.
Delicious food, great venue & fantastic service. We will return!
Lovely service, quaint interior, wonderful food, thanks we'll be back!
I would recommend, and have recommended this restaurant to everyone I know for that "special" kind of dining experience that is offered. Beautiful and friendly staff always make you feel welcome.
Overall it was good. The food was amazing and staff was friendly. It took a bit longer than I thought. I also requested another glass of wine which never came and had to prompt twice for water to be served. Overall it was a good experience without anything special
The food was delicious and the service was great! The salmon dish was our favourite.
Loved the vibe and service, would be back to try the vegetarian degust.
Beautiful food, romantic atmosphere and great service!! We will be back!
Most amazing food, wait staff and the skills of the chef in the kitchen. This place is worth visiting.
Found the long course well presented, great quality and taste was good but not as amazing as our experience 12months ago. Did not feel the wines paired that well with a few dishes which reduced the quality of the dining experience. Still look forward to dining again.
Exceptional Experience. We booked the Deer Duck for lunch on a friend's recommendation. The food was exquisite, the staff knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating. It was an exceptional dining experience.
We had the short course degustation option- one of us was vegetarian and had a slightly different menu. The food was exceptional, would thoroughly recommend, especially if there are vegetarians to cater for.
Very nice restaurant. Food was amazing. Service was great. No faults
Food was actually pretty good but the service was a bit sloppy (thudding down plates in front of you at times like they were in a mood), terribly slow at the end, the girls just disappeared for ages, then would refuse to catch your eye when we wanted to pay. Ended up just taking ourselves to the front and stood there for ages before they appeared again from the kitchen. No apology unfortunately which just made for a lacklustre experience.
Loved our visit! Thank you for making our First Wedding Anniversary dinner perfect!
Loved the endive course, also the amuse of venison. Merci beaucoup.
We were very spoilt during our dinner at Deer Duck. The staff were very attentive and the food was spectacular! We’ll definitely be back
A wonderful experience complimented by outstanding food and an extensive, yet well priced, range of wines. The choice of degustation formats is a great idea, but I recommend going all in and doing the 9-course, as the food is amazing. The quiet and somewhat intimate atmosphere makes for a most welcome change too. All in all, a wonderful evening and a fantastic, memorable dining experience backed up by friendly, efficient and attentive service. A real treat!
Very romantic restaurant. Staff awesome. Good was good except the beef at the end was a little tough. Overall good was good
Amazing delicious food! Wonderful service and ambience. Love the jazz music playing during dinner . Felt like we were in another time and place.
Great food and service overall. Will definitely come back next time at night
Great dining experience! Would love to return and try the quail!
First visit to Deer Duck Bistro and what a wonderful evening. Warm and welcoming staff, amazing menu and delightful setting. We chose the ‘Short Course’ degustation and enjoyed every course. My personal favourite was the venison tartare! Can’t wait for our next visit.
Always an incredible experience. Food sublime and wine pairings really elevate the dishes. Something special
The food, service and atmosphere was absolutely perfect. We ordered the long degustation meal and wow, each dish that came out was beautifully presented and so mouth wateringly good.
Everything was wonderful. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable the flavours of the food were outstanding. Overall it was a great birthday treat.

Amazing experience at Deer Duck last night. Our first dining out since covid hit and it was perfect. We have the long course degustation and my husband had matching wines. Every course was great, it was impossible to choose a favourite. The matching wines were fabulous and service was friendly and excellent.
A couple items on the menu were outstanding. The steak was too raw. The service very polite but too slow. The short course took us 2.5 hours.
Food was fantastic and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very charming. My only criticism was drink service. We were asked what type of water we would like and then never received water the entire night. We ordered wine before our meal order was taken however we were only served the wine with 2nd course. I prefer drink service to be served before any food arrives and the fact no one recognised we were waterless the whole evening was a bit disappointing however overall the food made up for the experience.
We had the 7-course menu (short course). Charcoal bread and flavoured butter were lovely, would have preferred having no salt crystals on the charcoal bread though (already enough saltiness from the flavoured butter). Our favourite course was the cured salmon with dill emulsion/ quinoa/ fennel - perfectly balanced. Other dishes were decent but nothing to rave about. Still a nice treat for a special occasion! Atmosphere was great, and each course came out pretty quick :)
Sure, it cost a bit- but I chose to give the 15% tip for a good reason. Excellent food and service. Great evening. See you soon!

We had the short course. Every dish was amazing and full of flavour. The staff were very professional and friendly. Would recommend.
Degustation was absoultely amazing. Service was attentive. Would highly recommend!
Have been visiting this restaurant for many years now and the service and food are always first class. Thank you.
It was lovely even with the iso restrictions. Way too much food and would have been happy with just five courses rather than the short course of 7-8 dishes. But if a rich fur 1 and 1/2 hours to be honest. Staff need to focus on order of service as though while we arrived first we were always served our dishes last. Can’t wait for the return of free dining time to truly enjoy the dining experience again. We will be back
Phenomenal! For a place that looks like a hole in the wall - what a labyrinth it is and the food is off the charts! Can’t wait to visit again ☺️
Amazing food and the matched wines were perfect. The dining room was so beautiful; we had a wonderful time.
Amazing food and great service. We had a very enjoyable evening
Great first post-iso meal. Lovely service and the food quality was exceptional. Definitely give them your business and tip generously!
Fantastic meal. Every course was perfect! Friendly staff and very affordable wines.
Absolutely phenomenal highly recommend would definitely be back thanks guys
The 9 course meal was sensational as was the service
