we&#8217;ve had the pleasure of dining at many times and is right up there with\u00a085 Miskin St\u00a0as one of my favourite fine dining restaurants in Brisbane. \u00a0It had been a couple of years since we were there last and I was keen to revisit to sample the menu under new head chef Josh Raine.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing that has been bugging me for years is that Urbane is that they produce some fantastically striking and innovative food (last time I was served duck tongue out of a test tube) but the venue is so damn dark I can never take any good photos that do it justice.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the night, my thoughts were that the food and service were as good as ever and I still can&#8217;t take any flattering photos. \u00a0The &#8216;atmospheric lighting&#8217; in the venue means that any photos I take come out super grainy and lacking any sharpness or detail. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0You&#8217;ll just have to take my word for the quality of the food and presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Jen and I had the eight course omnivore tasting menu. \u00a0My favourite dishes were the tomato consomme and the wagyu steak with juniper greens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
