The focus here is on tapas and pizzas and while I think gourmet pizza tends to be overpriced for what you get, the tapas here are fantastic in the light of many overpriced tapas bars in Brisbane at the moment.

Aside the tapas the menu is fairly light, but keep an eye on the specials menus.

WOW. We heard about this place from a stranger and I can say is this place does the best Tapas. Go on a Weds or Thurs and you will Love It!!! $25 for all you can eat. Sound's bad using that term but when you are talking Risotto Balls you can't help think of great food. This place is a must for anyone....

Approximate cost: $25

I didn't realise how quiet Caxton St is on Sundays - I suppose I never went there much before The Barracks opened, but there's so little happening... It needs more cafes and less pubs! So, we basically had the restaurant to ourselves, apart from a quiet family group down the back, and a young couple up the front. The interior is beautiful, but really not suited to dining through the day. It's quiet dark and broody, with leather booths and dark-stained wood tables. I'm sure it would be a kickarse bar on Friday/Saturday, and plan on checking it out soon.
The service was prompt (as you would hope!), and the bar list extensive. They had a fantastic range of spirits available, though the beer choices were reasonably limited, and the wine list is a work in progress. My partner went for Fat Yak on tap, and I had a Mirasloe [cocktail]. Actually, I had two and they were both lovely ^_^
We ordered the tapas platter to share, and at $40, was a delicious way to eat on a budget. We substituted the calamari for Fat Yak battered sweet corn fritters [YUM]. The housemade meatballs were smothered in a beautiful, smoky tomato chutney, and the corn fritters were crunchy and herb-y. Sadly, the kitchen was out of haloumi, so the chorizo/haloumi portion of the dish was a bit of a let down. I'm a big fan of chorizo, and it wasn't so great on its own.

It was lots of food, with friendly service and strange decor. My kinda place, and I think my next visit will be for Friday cocktails and pizza after work!

FANTASTIC. The tapas was amazing and great value for money. The waiter / bar tender did a great job with the cocktails and was never too far away but not always in your face. We had a FANTASTIC experience and cannot wait to go back!
