24.01.2022 Amidst the big Christmas party & milestone birthday celebrations, this beautiful couple celebrated 50 years of marriage & brought the Bride & Groom with them, along with half of Italy to commemorate the occasion #50thanniversary #socialmedia #connectedness #restaurant #finedining #affordablefinedining #waterfront #service... #view #waterfrontdining See more

23.01.2022 We’re getting a new floor! Baz & his team are working around the clock to have us reopen in time for Friday 13th. Restricted office hours to give team a mini break but phone messages will be checked regularly & emails responded to daily. Thank you for your understanding during this time

21.01.2022 I wanted to share a beautiful moment with you & hope it’s as uplifting for you... One of our families attending are 6 siblings who have been separated into three different foster homes.. Our Magic Christmas Dinner will be the first time they will all be at the same table & the children are so excited! The boys have organized their suits & have bought a new tie for the occasion I cried when the foster Angel shared this with me & I have her permission to share the moving mom...ent we had. So many beautiful, heartbreaking reactions to our little dinner have completely humbled me If you were wanting to contribute gifts, (or cash towards the purchase of gifts), please drop them in to the restaurant by tomorrow night, so we can make sure we have enough & appropriate gifts for EVERY child attending. Gifts: please mark the contents for us so we can match the gift Cash contributions: please mark the envelope with Magic so it can be added to our toy chest quickly I want to thank all of the generous individuals who have contributed to making some Magic happen for our guests, you are so appreciated! The organizations within & outside our community who have supported so readily & so generously. I will give an individual shout out to each as soon as I am able, thank you

21.01.2022 I can't express enough the gratitude I feel for your support throughout this crisis. We have emerged stronger and even more appreciative (if that was even possible) of you Together we have preserved the precious memories of this important, iconic property and are ready to create new ones with you I am quietly excited to present the upcoming Festive Season, after cautious consideration of the unfolding environment, we are pressing forward with our planning. The season ...may look a little different this year, however, please know that we take the responsibility of safe celebrations very seriously, always on high alert for changes and announcements as they happen. We are fortunate that we are a large enough venue to space appropriately and yet small enough to adapt quickly when required. 2020 has been one of the most challenging years in my 32 years in business, in fact in our entire generation, but it is coming to a conclusion, and I hope you will join me at some stage to thank it for the lessons & tell it to #%# (insert your own adjective/expletive) off! New Year's Eve this year will be as much about kicking this one to smitherines as about welcoming a brighter 2021. The lavish MASQUERADE themed event we have planned will maintain some of the New Roaring 20's theme with an ever so slight nod to "pandemic masks". Our amazing in-house event manager, Carol Balfour is already on it and the glimpses I have seen so far for NYE 2021 promises an exciting, elaborate event surpassing all others. Melbourne Cup Day booked out before I could get this email out, but with the outdoor dining restrictions easing further we may have a few more openings, Call 32861386 to enquire today or visit our Upcoming Events on our website for more details. https://www.courthouserestaurant.com.au/events/ Our Candlelight Ball has become the Redland's biggest Christmas Party and fills fast, so if you're at all interested, I would love to have as many of our Party People to celebrate the season with! A completely ALL-INCLUSIVE Christmas celebration created especially for small & medium organisations to celebrate BIG! Thank you once again for your gracious & incredibly humbling support. Sincerely, Mary Gibb Proprietor (since 1998) Note to self.., don’t send out emails on a Saturday & overwhelm your already busy team. Bookings were pouring in within hours It seems we are all looking forward to gently resuming our lives and so we should

21.01.2022 Melbourne Cup Day 2020! Our first major event in Covid times was a spectacle of fun & fashion with some fundraising thrown in.. Our beautiful guests showed up gloriously... we welcomed many new faces & appreciated the many who have made a tradition of this day, thank you A special thank you to our amazing & talented Carol Balfour who set the scene so spectacularly, you blow us away every time with your stunning styling Thank you to our Chef Mitchell Efiemoff & his brigad...e for delivering a beautiful lunch with precision timing yet again! Our service team expertly led by Melita, Ben & Joshua Our Zonta ladies for running our sweeps & raffles so efficiently, thank you Thank you to Angies Floral Design & Carol Balfour for your stunning flower displays I am so humbled, with all of your support we are moving through this time carefully & courageously & taking absolutely nothing for granted

19.01.2022 They were married at The Courthouse 40 years ago! I love that we hold so many precious memories & especially that our guests can still enjoy reminiscing as they make new ones

17.01.2022 Introducing our bright & shiny new group of 2020/21 School Based Trainees! I am so proud to have pioneered the accelerated group training program, almost 2 decades ago now. The success of our humble little partnership program with The Courthouse Restaurant & Sheldon College resulted in the accelerated model being rolled out across many other industries & schools, as it improved student academic results & the training outcomes & completion rates smashed the previous 4 year pr...ograms! Since then I have raisedhundreds of students who I’ve proudly watched fly on to successful careers in their chosen fields. From nurses, architects, teachers, lawyers & paramedics just to name a few, I’d like to think we helped shape their futures with the work ethic instilled, the customer focused service & attention to detail that easily transferred to their new professions. It is such a beautiful & pivotal stage in their lives, with so many firsts for them from first job, to learning to drive. Being invited into their lives as they transition into adulthood has been one of my greatest honours. I hope you will support us in their development, encourage them, even challenge them a little (maybe in a few months time) but most importantly, email me your feedback which we will then use in our weekly training sessions. This particular group is already showing so much promise and progressing so well, I know you’ll be as pleased as we are. All of our amazing staff over the years have come through this program. I love that I can inject my standard of skills & knowledge but especially love how my dedicated team of staff mentor, support & lead them by their fine example.

17.01.2022 WoW what an amazing season we are preparing for! Both Candlelight Balls booked out in no time, but as our groups have now finalized their numbers I have one or two tables free..

11.01.2022 Well done & thank you Brisbane!! ** Re-Opening for 2021 today Tuesday 12/01/21 Any complacency that may have crept in over time has been well & truly stamped out as we were all reminded how quickly the safety & relative freedom we have enjoyed can change. Regardless of your personal position, none of us want Covid in our community & none of us want the Gvt to shutdown important occasions.... Vigilance from us all is the best way towards celebrating our special occasions together, safely & successfully. The Courthouse has plenty of space & areas to serve you safely as we reopen for 2021 from today (Tuesday 12th January) and resume our Tuesday to Sunday lunch & dinner hours. Our staff will be wearing masks and upping the ante even further on our safety protocols during this time. We had paused all Valentine’s weekend planning hoping for this very outcome & are so pleased we can gently proceed. I will announce the events & open bookings for them later today. As with all of our Courthouse events bookings are essential & will sell out quickly. Subscribe to our VIP list on our website or by clicking on the link below to receive updates & event information first. https://bit.ly/3nz7w3u Thank you again everyone, please take good care of you & your loved ones & we look forward to your continued support in 2021

01.01.2022 I love quality controlling new dishes! Just a little fine tuning for the new season, I’m thrilled with the flavours Chef Mitchell has presented for us. As we tentatively navigate the ever changing Covid environment we have restored our full A-la-Carte menu for lunch & dinner, and have carefully begun planning the Covid Safe Festive Season (details released shortly)... We know better than to play with our signature dishes though... To check if your favourite is still there, you can view the full menu here.. https://www.courthouserestaurant.com.au//CH_menu-spring202
