Mietta's Review
The redevelopment of the Port Office Hotel has thrown up this large modern bistro next to the most happening bar in the city with an upstairs nightclub. A large pasta and pizza menu with vegetarian and gluten free choices. Service can be very slow when busy. Avoid Friday evenings unless you like a lot of noise and action. In 06 mains averaged $22.

Other published opinions

Brisbane Times Score: 13/20 "What is it about an open kitchen that we love so much? Chef Andrew Lincoln's little corner of this revamped pub adds a flash of colour and movement to the muted tones of a contemporary-styled dining room that buzzes with civilised chatter, high on the aromas of his handiwork"

Courier Mail food and wine guide Queensland 2008 Score: 13/20 "The Port Office Hotel has come a long way since it was built n the 1860s. An 18-month refurbishment overhauled the building, and Fix restaurant, the Marble Bar and the Velvet Room are the results"

Brisbane News Dining Out Guide 2007 "A slick fit-out creates an ambience that is both corporate and relaxed"

Courier-Mail Goodlife Restaurant Guide 2006 "It's no mean feat when a restaurant trims its menu to one page. But it's even more impressive when the page contains enough variety to compel you to come back soon to try dishes you didn't sample first time round. Fix is a bustling open-plan eatery at a popular hotel - an ideal vantage point to watch Brisbane youth troop by (The Marble Bar is adjacent)."

Brisbane News Eating Out Guide 2006 "A bustling haunt, this pub restaurant serves an eclectic range of fare. Tony Davis's one-page menu should keep any regular satisfied"

Courier-Mail GoodLife Bar Fiona Donnelly 4/10/05 "The music was still booming, the plasma screen demanding attention, but there wasn't the same sense of desperation in the air. Most of the clientele were safely over 30 and either coupled up, or content to be uncoupled. Fix Bar adjoins the fashionable Fix restaurant and there are several separate drinking areas to choose from - a comfortable long bar, outside undercover courtyard area, and comfy booths."

Courier-Mail Goodlife Restaurant Guide 05 "On the ground floor of the Port Office Hotel, it's a busy eatery, popular with the hip crowd at night, especially Fridays and weekends. A tad noisy at times, but the food is reasonably priced and staff are well trained"

Brisbane News Dining Out Guide 2004 "The open kitchen creates a frenetic atmosphere in this pub restaurant, which has won a loyal following over the years".
