Seasons on Ruthven Restaurant & Wine Bar — Restaurant in Queensland

(Pictured is Barramundi & Prawns) Went here for my 21st birthday on a Sunday. It was very nice and quiet, and service was very fast and polite. Drinks menu is MASSIVE which is really good for anyone who doesn't know what to drink. Very very good Espresso Martini's (topped with powdered chocolate which was surprisingly tasty). My partner had the Pork Belly for entree which was mainly just fat and skin but he loved the dried carrot that comes on the side salad. I got the Crumbed Camembert for my entree which I thoroughly enjoyed, I was expecting a whole wheel of cheese but only got half which was plenty. The bread and side salad paired nicely with the warm gooey Camembert and the crumb on it wasn't too thick or thin. For mains my partner had the Carbonara which he also loved, it was very flavourful and creamy but had really big pepper bits throughout which threw him off. I had the Barramundi & Prawns as my main. The fish was sadly overcooked and very dry for a dish that's meant to be juicy and fresh, the prawns were amazing though and were very nice was the garlic butter that they are cooked in. The mash for my main was really lumpy but tasted great, the veg is also steamed instead of boiled which I didn't mind but they could have been steamed for atleast 3 minutes more. Overall we had a very good night and I highly recommend The Seasons for a date night or private celebration. The total cost for 2 drinks, 2 entrees, and 2 mains was $130 for 2 people. Menu is fairly expensive but the...

⭐ 1 out of 5 stars “From anniversary magic to culinary sabotage.” This was our second visit to Seasons. The first? Absolutely spectacular. The second? A spectacular disaster. We came to celebrate our anniversary, expecting the same quality and care as before. Instead, we got overpriced, underwhelming food that felt like it had been assembled with zero effort and even less pride. The meal was forgettable but the coffee? That was a personal attack. I politely asked the wait staff Dumberella, a grump masquerading as hospitality for a weak coffee. What I received was a bitter, over-extracted caffeine bomb that could’ve powered a small generator. I handed it to my husband, who took one sip and winced. It was so aggressively bitter it felt like a deliberate act of sabotage either toward us or the owners. Either way, it was unacceptable. Honestly, the meal had more life in it than the wait staff. And that’s saying something, considering the eggs looked like they’d been poached during a hostage negotiation. Final thought: Seasons used to be a place of celebration. Now it feels like a cautionary tale. If this is what passes for fine dining, I’ll take my chances with a servo sandwich...

Arrived 3 minutes before the kitchen closed on Thursday so was grateful we were still able to order. Ordered an entree of 3 oysters and waited approximately 50 minutes for our mains to arrive. As we were the only custmers waiting it was obvious the bell in the kitchen was for delivery of our meals however it rang 3 times while the waiter continued to have a casual chat with man at the bar. In the end I stood up with intention to collect my own meal and the waiter responded with heading directly to retrieve and deliver the meals. Ordered a 200g steak medium rare with prawn toppers and pepper gravey on the side. Received steak medium/well done. Asked for a replacement steak which took 25mins to arrive with gravy all over it. Not very tender and struggled to make 200grams in size. My partner ordered the $45 seafood platter for one. The lobster was over cooked, dry and chewy. The mussels were shriveled and crusty. Have eaten here several times before and quality has declined each time. No intention on returning any time soon, if at all. Premium price is charged for meals so expected quality food and premium service -...
