The Apo - Fortitude Valley

I had dinner there a couple of weeks ago with two friends and we enjoyed everything. we ordered a few appetisers to share and we couldn't finish it. the cheese with honey was as good as a completely different taste. also the cattle loved, the beef was fresh as it should be, and do not let me catch on the mushrooms and the cauliflower. everything was great!

Fried chicken is always juicy and tasty, the sides are tasty, drinks are tasty and the atmosphere is relaxed. we always like to come here.

Having recently gone to Gerards to enjoy quite a delightful (and last) breakfast, I had made a note to go and try out The APO which is run by the same owners as Gerards and conveniently also situated at fortitude valley. . Making a lunch reservation for the 12, we were the first ones there. Faced with the option for indoors and outdoors at the back, I naturally took the inside option. Despite the abundance of natural light from outside, it was still a little dim for my liking.

Had previously only had a drink here but first time dining in the restaurant. Service was very friendly and quick. Food was quite tasty too. The ambience is really friendly and relaxing. Will Be back.

After reading all about this Valley eatery/bar since it opened we have been keen to try it out. We finally made it there after a little shopping in the city. The food was excellent, really enjoyed that but unfortunately the service didn’t quite match the great food, while friendly enough it just wasn’t attentive enough for what they are trying to achieve. The service (or lack of) wouldn’t deter us from revisiting, but with so many great places to try I doubt we’ll be back any time soon. A five for the food, but three for service.
