Mietta's Review
They're not kidding about including 'lounge' in the name - confortable chairs and cushions predominate. There is an outside dining area complete with banquettes. The food is mainly platters although a menu suggests that there are some dishes that can be ordered seperately. The platters can come in groups of two or three - entrees and mains and for the extra hungry a fondue of blue cheese or chocolate. All very homely. In 06 mains averaged $27.

Other published opinions

Brisbane Times Score: 12/20 "Relax. This is a lounge in every sense of the word: plush cushions and throw rugs on an eclectic mix of chairs, sofas and bench seats under intimate lighting"

Brisbane News Dining Out Guide 2007 "There's something ritzy about this venue, which offers an ideal long graze or a sit-down meal"

Courier-Mail Goodlife Restaurant Guide 2006 "Lunar Lounge opened in James St in 2005. The menu invites you to share owner Samantha Bullock's vision of Vineyard Dining where plates are designed to be shared at a leisurely pace. Dishes can be ordered individually or as a two-or three-course Lunar banquet. "

Brisbane News Eating Out Guide 2006 "Owner Samantha Bullock calls this her vision of vineyard dining" with plates that are designed to be shared at a leisurely pace. Order individually or as a multi-course banquet. An a la carte menu is available."

Courier Mail 8/3/05 Lizzie Loel "nside the neutral and chocolate main room, on the wood-panelled deck or in one of the two other intimate spaces, there are interesting ideas such as a trickling water feature, great music and lots of cosy nooks in which to relax. It makes for a really warm environment. The score - Food: 14 Wine: 14 Service: 14 Ambience: 16"
