The venue is being developed by the Power family, owners of Brisbane’s iconic Norman Hotel in Woolloongabba, and will carry over the signature steakhouse traditions that have made the original a city institution.
Planned for the corner of Wardell Street and Samford Road, the design includes three private dining rooms on a mezzanine level and a Spanish-inspired style with archways. Residents can also expect the popular one-kilogram steak challenge to make its way north.
Community interest is already strong, with hundreds of locals registering ahead of the official launch. The 3077 sqm site has stood vacant for more than a decade following major roadworks, and the project promises to reshape the area into a dedicated hospitality hub.
Designs by KP Architects include basement and upper-level parking for more than 100 vehicles, with landscaping buffers to shield neighbouring homes. Noise controls mean outdoor music will be limited to background levels, with no amplified sound permitted on the rooftop.
“The allure of our open grill will draw you in, as it fills the air with the irresistible aromas of perfectly seared steaks and bold flavours. Paying homage to the iconic Norman Hotel in Woolloongabba, we proudly honour its legacy while infusing a fresh and contemporary twist into the steakhouse tradition,” owners stated in their website.
“We can’t wait to welcome you to your new favourite destination for exceptional food, heartfelt connection, and unforgettable moments.”
