Jellyfish Restaurant

Beautifully presented seafood dishes, would recommend to anyone!

Stumbled upon this restaurant I was looking forward to tasting some really fresh delicious Australian fish. Looking for stuff we don’t have a back in the states. Everything that we ordered as suggestion by our waiter was absolutely amazing! The fish was light tasty and fresh and the pumpkin side was incredible!!!

Had super high expectation sadly disappointed. Scallops were tiny and salty with absolutely a confused taste. Cheese plate was meh.

Great food and top service. Venue is right on the riverfront which is great for people watching. The prices are high as you would expect but you do get what you pay for.

Great atmosphere near the river and excellent service! Fantastic food! Had the spaghettini! Amazing sauce. I couldn’t stop eating it! A must stop for Brisbane!

Finally got see what all of the rave is about! Jellyfish is a lovely upscale restaurant with a robust wine selection and fresh seafood. The service is top notch and the food is delicious, as you would expect.
Everything we ordered was good, especially the oysters which we agreed were the best we have had in Brisbane. I have to say the fish mains that we ordered were pretty standard, not out of this world but good so there is room to really impress me there:)
It is a perfect spot to celebrate a special evening or host some visitors who have an appreciation for fine dining, seafood and will enjoy a stunning view of the river and story bridge while you dine.

I went with a mate last night to have dinner. Excellent customer service from all the people who attended to us especially from the woman with the white coat on — great personality!
My mate ordered the pork belly — he loved the food!
For myself I ordered the Kingfish — somewhat tasty!
I have previously been to Jellyfish a number of times in the previous years. I will be coming back to Jellyfish in the near future!

Jellyfish Restaurant has excellent seafood and friendly service. The wine list is good and there is a bar in case you arrive early. The restaurant is perfectly situated with a view of the Storey Bridge.

Incredible food, beautiful views, staff were very attentive and friendly. I had the soft shell crab entrée and then barramundi with a bunch of different sides and it couldn’t have been better. Bit pricy but just beautiful.

Jelly Fish makes a big splash!
The last visit to Jellyfish was about 18 months ago and I just thought it was over priced fish and chips…
However… This visit was Great!!!
Entrée: Oysters with a light french cider vinegar, red onion/​shallot and lime — Wow they were delicious. Soooo fresh and lovely! Presentation was impressive, with deep fried pasta sticks under the oysters, simple but effective.
Main: King Fish cooked 2 ways. One half was deep fried with an asian salad of cucumber, carrot and asian dressing. The other half was the fillet with coconut dressing. More dressing and this dish would have been perfect!
Extras: No side dishes required with this dish as it is quite a big serve, plus its own salad. Make sure you ask that question. The 2 side dishes of gnocchi and pumpkin were both fairly ordinary and were not eaten.
Desert: Panna Cotta. Wow a taste sensation! Not usually a fan of this dish. But got to give credit where it’s due, this one was yum! Presentation was also pretty cool with grilled peaches and crushed sugar crusted violet flowers on the side… they taste a bit like old fashioned popcorn :)
It is expensive so choose wisely, you might be surprised :)

This place is not only beautiful, the food is incredible! I ordered the Morton Bay Bugs, biggest I’ve seen, very juicy too. My guests ordered fish from their fresh catch menu. All was wonderful. Even our sides were delicious. Hot chips, watermelon and goat cheese and asparagus were all delicious. I want to go back here again very soon!

Good seafood, but far out, overpriced. Entrees averaging 27dollars. Service was really excellent, very attentive and personable. Enough so that I tipped them on top of what i thought was an embellished bill.
I had the bugs, but they were pretty oily and for $ 60… I was expecting more quality. Quantity was fine though.
i wont rush back.

Fresh seafood!!! You can’t beat it. So delicious and beautiful outlook on the river.

This restaurant is superb. The meals are absolutely amazing. The seafood is so fresh. The morten bay bugs were delicious. The view of the river and story bridge is spectacular. The meals are all expensive but worth it for a special night out. I cannot wait to go back so will take my wife for her birthday. I think it’s the best seafood restaurant in Brisbane. You must book as they are very busy. 5 star for sure. Great cocktail and wine list also.

I ate here at lunch instead of dinner as it was on my way back to my hotel from the South Bank. I am glad I did not make the extra trip here for dinner. I wanted to try this restaurant b/​c of the marvelous reviews… I have to disagree as the menu price did NOT match the food quality.
Food: I had a great ocean fish that was blinded by the over breaded crust. The mint yogurt was a perfect combo for the fish; but it was basically good yogurt dip and I did not taste much mint in it all. I had a tomato, mozzarella and pistachio pesto… great dish, however, they either ran out of cherry tomatoes or skimped on it and cut up a regular tomato amidst the cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes were amazingly sweet; the other was rather tasteless.
Drinks: Had a great New Zealand Sav. Blanc and very expensive Voss sparkling water
Environment: Great view on a a day with beautiful weather. Can’t beat the location! Modern décor;

This is quite a posh (but non-​snobby) dining establishment which offers varying seafood options. The waitstaff are able to list suggested sides and wines to go with the dish.
I’ve seen a bachelorette party have their meal here (looked like they made reservations ahead of time as their table was set up), so it seems a suitable classy restaurant. Doesn’t hurt that the waitstaff are charming and easy on the eyes.
The dishes our party had came out perfect, we each cleaned our plates. Desserts were delish.

Jellyfish is the type of fancy restaurant that a struggling writer/​student does not really get the chance to go to. However, for my birthday, my best friend and I put on our finest clothes and jewelry and ventured into Jellyfish.
The wait staff there are amazing and friendly and saw through our ruse to try and be sophisticated straight away. Nevertheless, they were happy for our patronage and helped us through the dining etiquette that I had never had the pleasure of learning before. The place is lovely and not all so fancy to be off putting or anything. We felt quite at home and comfortable very quickly. If I had the money, I could very well get used to eating here.
I had the soft soft shell crab which was amazing, and for desert a flaming crème brule that was just to die for! All the food here is amazing and if you like your seafood then you definitely need to give it a try.

As you walk along the boardwalk overlooking Brisbane River, it’s hard to resist stopping by Jellyfish, whether for drinks or an intimate dinner for two. Its cool name is accentuated by the innovative jellyfish lights complete with trailing tentacles bobbing in the bar area.
The prices are expensive but this is one of those places where the food quality is worth the premium price. I’ve been to Jellyfish several times. On the first occasion my seafood shabu-​shabu for one blew me out of the water. The soup stock was liquid gold and my only complaint was that I wanted more vermicelli noodles. On another occasion, my partner found the grilled fish only ‘above average’ which isn’t a bad thing; only for their premium prices we expected perfection.
Also, it’s probably better to hold off on dinner reservations until 7:30 or later on a Friday or Saturday night if you’re not starving. The restaurant was packed like sardines. It was difficult to hear dinner conversations and not very comfortable sitting spitting distance from strangers, albeit elegantly dressed ones.

Jellyfish is yet another premier Brisbane restaurant where it’s menu prices match the food you’ll be eating. At one of the best locations in Brisbane down on Eagle St Pier, be prepared for some incredible and very fresh seafood. The menu is subject to change to reflect what they can get in the freshest, we had flathead and whiting fillets with a few sides. It was a great experience to be in such a fantastically run restaurant.
The décor is very modern, white table cloths, walls and ceiling with some very professional wait-​staff walking around in matching uniforms.
The normal clientele are wealthy businessmen and women, filling the place for lunch over some very expensive wine. If you’re looking to impress someone with your knowledge of Brisbane’s nicer places to eat then give this restaurant a go. Definitely ring ahead first to book if your planning on going at a busier time.

The food here is fantastic. They have a vast choice of fish that can be cooked any way you like with any sauce you would like. Despite the high quality of the food, the serving sizes are respectable, and I was left feeling full — something that doesn’t often happen in restaurants such as this one. The prices are premium but if you are looking for a really great night out then they are definitely justified. I’ll be coming back.
