Preece's — Restaurant in Greater Brisbane

I have been here a few times and it was good however this time it was terrible the food was terrible and the service was terrible. I ordered the vegetarian benny (cost $21) I asked if I could have it on an English muffin instead of the sourdough bread but they wouldn’t do that, they said I had to have the sourdough. My breakfast came out it looked terrible, who in their right mind puts the eggs in a separate container instead of on the bread (I might add there’s only 1 piece for bread with no butter on it) they put the mushrooms on the bread instead. The hollandaise sauce was also in a separate container, plastic container I might add. In a business point of view Why are they wasting money like that, a bamboo boat for the eggs a plastic container for the sauce all of these get thrown out cause they can’t be used again. Back to the food, the mushrooms had no flavour it was like they had been steamed with some spinach. Even the cherry tomatoes tasted weird like they were sprayed with oil and microwaved just to heat them. I put the eggs on the bread myself poured the hollandaise over it, it tasted like it was off. I hardly ate any of the food on the plate, that’s how bad it was. I told them the issues with the food, I asked for my money back and the lady said she didn’t want to refund my money. She eventually refunded the cost of the dish but she wasn’t happy about it. The coffee I had was nice. I will not be recommending this place to anyone and I will not...

Poor service Not enough staff on the floor. Chef can't cook a steak to order. We went there tonight as we tried to book for the night before but it was booked out so we booked for tonight instead. The restaurant was extremely busy and the service was poor. This was not the fault of the staff though, they were all good. There clearly weren't enough staff employed on the floor to cater for the amount of people. I asked them if this was busier then usual and they advised me that this was normal for a Fri or Sat. Therefore they should be staffed accordingly. We had a long wait for entree. I ordered a medium rare steak for dinner, it arrived and was what I would call medium to well done and dry. I ended up feeding it to a dog thats owners were sitting on the bar table next to us. I asked as they served mains if I could get a glass of wine with my meal. The waiter brought me back a menu, then left before I could order and I never got asked again, so no wine. Our main plates were not cleared. We waited for 20 mins after we finished dinner, then ordered dessert inside at the counter as we'd been instructed to do. When they brought out dessert, they couldn't put them down as they still hadn't cleared our mains. We're voting with our feet on this one and...

I’ve always thought preeces was pretty good, so took a friend there for bfast. Went to order a breaky wrap (on a weekday) and was told they sold out. So I asked for a breaky roll, got told they didn’t have any. He asked if I’d like a bacon, egg McMuffin, I said I didn’t like English muffin and asked if they could do a bacon, egg toasted sandwich, got told “they don’t do that” I asked if they could, I was happy to pay, he said no. So asked if I wanted to order bacon and eggs on toast and I could make my own. Just then the wraps turned up, I asked if I could have it without spinach, “no sorry it’s premade” ok, so the wrap was fine, my friend waited an extra 10mins for her bfast after I’d had mine. I went to the toilet (down the back past the kitchen) and there were signs everywhere “don’t abuse staff” and “do not consume outside food on premises” the inside is dated like an old cafeteria and there’s kitchen equipment and boxes in the seating area (sure that wouldn’t pass workplace health and safety) the staff didn’t seem to care, not asking how our meals were, they were quite rude and seemed like we were inconveniencing them by being there. There are many more better choices along the front street so good luck to them!...
