How about the Belvedere Crab & Steakhouse at Woody Point?
Also has nice views, free parking. Beats fighting with Saturday city traffic. Straight shot to / from the airport.

I've been to Byblos for our staff Xmas party 2 years ago. Was great meal (lunch) - have the photos somewhere. Still a maybe...

 

[Mr_Orange]

I'm a possibility as I think SWMBO is away with the girls that weekend.

As far as venues go, there is plenty of good choices (pub/Chinese/Mexican/Sushi/Italian/other) on Oxford Street in Bulimba. Parking no problem and accessible by City Cat/Ferry.

Love that Mexican place in Bulimba. We just need to make the venue appealing location wise so it's not too far for attendees to come.

I am happy to vouch for this place , great food and can handle large crowds in a timely fashion.

I've eaten that the one in Sanctuary Cove. It was very good and the half price lunch menu is good value.

My only experiences with Byblos have been coughtail ( Christmas) party style, was underwhelmed every time. I was a fan of Gusto Da Gianni. But it was a bit below par on our last visit. Not sure about Byblos for a la carte. The steak house ( Belvedere bar and grill) on the other side was good though. I recently had an old school reunion there, and while they offered alternate drop ( which I loath) the food was good.

I've only had coughtails at Byblos but have always heard good reports about the food. I have to disagree about the Belvedere. Mrs_O and I have a very poor experience there and walked out without having eaten. We ended up going to the little Mexican fast food place around the corner which was much more satisfying.

True, but I figured Bulimba is no harder than Portside .

I'd consider Bulimba/Portside/Riverside equally accessible.

My cousin's birthday celebration has been scheduled for this day, so I might have to give this a miss.

In MEL, and would be at a wedding if we were in BNE.

The jetty in bulimia is good too.
My only problem with bulimia is the awful parking options.

Tongue-in-cheek deliberate misspelling? Parking isn't really that bad. Oxford Street itself can be awkward but there are plenty of side streets and no parking meters.

Jetty is nice, but we would need to book if that becomes the chosen venue.
