Other published opinions
Queensland Food and Wine "Spread over two levels. The Point offers diners the choice of a more formal, secluded experience in its upstairs lounge and dining-room, or something more casual on the ground floor"
Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2009 Queensland Score: 14/20 "Ultra modern, sharply attired and cleverly conceived. The Point is a venue of several facets. The ground floor, which happily spills outside into a large alfresco section, does everything from a decent short black to bistro-style meals"
Courier Mail food and wine guide Queensland 2008 Score: 12.5/20 "This large, modern restaurant and bar capitalises on the boulevard atmosphere of South Bank, with most of the tables outside under cover, and a mezzanine level adds height and visual interest to the grey and flame-red decor"
Courier Mail Lizzie Loel 21-03-07 Score: Food 16, Wine: 16, Service: 16, Ambience: 16 "The restaurant has a great vantage point, opening in an arch around Ernest St and the balcony overlooks both Stanley and Grey streets, giving the impression of a large cosmopolitan space. The menu is short and succinct with seven choices of entree (of which four are seafood-based) and seven mains although a few more are added in at dinner."
Courier Mail Joel Palmer 23/6/06 "The Point is among a growing list of combined restaurants and bars popping up around town. Food is the priority, but there's a big range of cocktails and fine wines for those looking for a quiet corner with a comfy couch. Cinema-goers should try the coffee at The Point - it packs a perky punch"
Brisbane News Louise Kelly 25/1/06 score food: 7 wine: 7.5 service: 6.5 ambience: 6.5 "Head chef Bruno Richeux is back in Brisbane after 22 years. He has spent his time in Sydney, most notably as executive chef at the Art Gallery of NSW and prior to that, feeding people during the 2000 Olympic Games at Homebush. His fare at The Point is good but not great, and the whole dining experience would be vastly improved if the music could be turned down"
