We did queue to get in on a Saturday night and the restaurant does not take bookings. Coming later is good, as by 8:30pm we were one of the few tables still occupied. Much of the restaurant is outside under enormous canopies, so it feels indoors, and right by the water.Now to the seafood, it is fresh and some of it can be seen swimming in tanks near the entrance. Between us we had prawns, fish, oysters, calamari and pork for my sister who does not like seafood but took us to Georges because she knows we do. The food was excellent as was the service.

The main course of lightly battered whiting was flavourless. The restaurant was full obviously based on its reputation. Our waitress Claudia was very pleasant. Lobster mornay was advertised as the speciality but we were told they do not offer fresh lobster with lemon.

Alcoholic drinks can make it a tad expensive but the prawns I had with my salad were the freshest and best I 'd had in a very long time.Worth a visit for sure.

The lobster main course was divine because it was cooked so well. It melted in your mouth without any chewiness that you sometimes get. The fish of the day was worth having with perfectly done vegetables. The setting was beautiful with views of the bridge and Brisbane at night. Service is attentive and we all came away impressed. Don't miss the opportunity to go.

Pleased we did as the personal service, tasty food, linen table cloth/napkins and general ambience made it worthwhile.
