I must say I quite like it. In last month's menu (I haven't been in April as yet), the salmon with Israeli couscous and harissa was truly excellent and I'm not usually a big fan of salmon, and the Korean kimchi steamed buns were an excellent starter as was the asparagus with a perfectly poached egg. The Chinese desserts are always intriguing though not nearly as good as what you get in Hong Kong and China.

I do like the mocktail offering too and the decent grapefruit juice (unlike the CCR which has ditched its previously good grapefruit juice for an inferior version a while ago). On the other hand the wine and Champagne menu is much better in the CCR and the coffee is better too (though the QF lounge has - perhaps unsurprisingly given the Australian general coffee quality - much better than both of them).
