Overall the food was fabulous and very happy with all our plates and prices. I was not happy with my experience originally. Had a reservation (which I'm threatened with a$40 charge if I'm late) and my whole party showed up 15 minutes early, was told it would be 15 minutes until ready. Fair enough, stay on schedule. It wasn't until 30 minutes after our reservation we were finally being seated at 9pm and then the waiter took a fairly long time before finally bringing menus and taking drink orders.

Hello, We recently celebrated my partner's 40th at Walter's. The service & food was excellent, though we left a little disheartened. After spending about $230, we were hit with the bill which included $5 for a single scoop of gelato with a candle in it (which I didn't order). A great night was left on a slightly sour note. This 'gesture' should have been left out or provided complimentary. Russell provided great service otherwise. Regards, Russ

Hi Russ, Thank you for your review. We have spoken to Russell and he is sincerely sorry for any confusion. He is adamant however that he has not charged you for this. Could you please double check, as we completely agree this would be very awkward. Warmest Regards Sean

Really bad service. Had to ask for everything at least twice, except for the bill! We weren’t offered any sauce / condiments until we asked - twice. Then found the condiments ourselves on a shelf. Before the meal we were sat in the bar, where we waited more than ten mins for menus and were told “nobody told me you were here” by the server. No water offered. Overall, food was nice but not brilliant and the whole night disappointed due to such poor service. It’ll be a struggle to justify going back. Very disappointing.

Easily my favourite restaurant in Brisbane! It is perfect everytime we go there. This visit our lamb was underdone, and our steak was overdone, but based on every other time we've been here it seems like a one off.

We ordered the Eye Fillet and New York Strip steaks and they were really good - especially the Eye Fillet, it was literally melt in the mouth. Our sides of creamed spinach and roasted mushrooms were fantastic too. Katia - our server - provided us with good service and ample information on our orders.

We were looking forward to dining at Walter's for some time, we are not locals, so the opportunities are limited to visits to Brisbane. The evening didn't disappoint us. Everything was as we expected, excellent. With one exception, the service, that was brilliant. Mitch is a gem.

A fantastic dining experience with exceptional quality of food & presentation Negatives-price for shared steak needs to be written clearly to indicate it is per person Also extremely noisy and echos throughout Overall we enjoyed our experience & explosion of flavors.

We chose Walter's to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and use this special occasion to open a bottle of Grange Hermitage we had been cellaring to enjoy with a high quality steak. Walter's didn't disappoint and all of the factors we have rated as outstanding combined to ensure a wonderful and very memorable occasion. All of the staff were fabulous. They were all courteous and friendly and most accommodating regarding every aspect of our experience from our pre-dinner drinks at the bar to ordering us a cab as our evening drew to a close. The fabulous ambience only added to the occasion and our experience. The food was amazing and the Signature Porterhouse was a no brainer as our maincourse choice to accompany our fine wine. Quite simply, this was the best steak we have ever had. We extend our appreciation and many thanks to all the staff at Walter's from the bar staff, wait staff and the chefs for making our visit to Walter's a fantastic occasion to celebrate a special day. We will be back and highly recommend Walter's to anyone looking for a high quality dining experience.

Bar service was very good, but when we went to our table, we waited 30 mins to get our order in and I had to go and ask for our order to be taken. To be fair, they did apologise for the poor service and gave a complimentary dessert. Food was good, but I wouldn’t say it was great. Eaten at similar restaurants in Sydney where quality and presentation for similar price were of a much higher standard. Given it was our anniversary, I was a little disappointed in the overall experience.

Lovely atmosphere, had a drink at the bar and was pleasantly surprised by the speed and service, waited for 10 minutes which was the perfect amount of time to finish our drinks. We sat towards the middle, lovely area, lots to look at. The meals were an experience and haven’t experienced this level of service in years. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.
