Coming Soon: The Gambaro Group's New Black Hide Steak and Seafood Will Be Perched by the River at Queen's Wharf
The Treasury's steakhouse is moving to bigger digs, seating 240 people as part of The Terrace at the Brisbane CBD's soon-to-open new precinct.
When the Queen's Wharf precinct opens in Brisbane's inner city, the Treasury will say farewell, with The Star Brisbane becoming the CBD's new casino. The change will also have an impact on the venue's restaurants and bars. Fat Noodle is moving as well, as is LiveWire, with the latter changing its focus to late-night entertainment and live music. The next place that's announced its new digs: Black Hide by Gambaro, which will become Black Hide Steak and Seafood.
It was back in 2018 that Black Hide set up shop at the Treasury, expanding from Caxton Street in Petrie Terrace, where Gambaros has long been synonymous. The upmarket steak brand made the Queen Street side of the casino its home, serving up river views, a bar overlooking Reddacliff Place, and a six-room setup that makes the most of the heritage building's features — including a ten-person private dining space filled with timber, brass and marble.
Black Hide Steak and Seafood is shifting by necessity, of course, but it's taking the opportunity to scale up. Cue bigger digs, with the venue able to seat 240 people as part of The Terrace at Queen's Wharf. And yes, there'll be river views — that part of the precinct will sit on the same level as the landing for the new Neville Bonner Bridge, and Black Hide will be its largest restaurant.
Diners can look forward to the same team on staff, with new additions given that the eatery will be bigger. The restaurant is also expanding its trading hours and giving its lineup of dishes a tweak. Obviously, as the name makes plain, seafood will be another focus.
"We have made significant enhancements to our menu with the addition of a variety of delicious seafood dishes, featuring fresh Queensland catches to perfectly complement our renowned steak offerings, as well introducing a stylish cocktail lounge bar, where guests can indulge in small plates from our menu while enjoying panoramic views of the river," said The Gambaro Group Director John Gambaro.
"At the heart of our restaurant will be an open kitchen, inviting guests to witness firsthand the meticulous preparation and cooking of our dishes."
"Our innovative cooking systems include wood-fired charcoal burners, which will infuse each dish with delightful flavour and our time-tested montague broiler, which we have been using at our other Black Hide venues for ten years."
Exactly when Black Hide Steak and Seafood will open hasn't yet been revealed, but Queen's Wharf is slated to launch from August 2024. At the Treasury, Black Hide by Gambaro will keep trading until then.
Across The Star Brisbane, the restaurant will also be joined by the debut Brisbane outpost for Japanese fine-diner Sokyo and Italian restaurant Cucina Regina — and upstairs at the Sky Deck, also Aloria, Cicada Blu and Babblers, all forming part of the new years-in-the-making precinct.
Find Black Hide Steak and Seafood at The Star Brisbane, Queen's Wharf, Brisbane CBD sometime from August 2024 onwards. Head to the venue's website for more information in the interim.
