19XO Canapés & Cocktails — Restaurant in Queensland

The back room requires urgent acoustic panelling. The noise is so loud. The drink service was ridiculously slow. The toilet keys were unhygienic, and not wise during COVID. I found the cocktails not too my tastes and disgusting. The consensus from our large group was the same. I was advised by other guests, if you don't want to wait 30 minutes for your drink, you'll need to order a beer. I then lined up for 10 minutes to order a single beer whilst the 10 minutes was spent tying up the single POS whilst a few people appeared to be splitting their bill. During this time, numerous people had come to the bar to take the toilet key and disappear down the side alley and then return the same key without any wipe down or disinfectant. The toilet key issue was pointed out by another patron to me whilst waiting to be served for 10 minutes. I then observed the communal toilet key sharing myself with disgust.

My wife and I on Anzac evening were looking for a place with good pizza. Much to our chagrin most places were closed for the holiday so our choices were limited.

That said, we were pleasantly surprised. The two gentlemen, most likely the owners, could not have been more welcoming. Two Jamesons neat, a bottle of Chianti and two 9" pizza pies rounded out the evening. Surprisingly, the individual size pizzas were excellent, music was perfect, and we left happy. Thanks and best of...
