About Tillerman Seafood Restaurant

Uninterrupted Story Bridge views meet serious waterfront seafood along Eagle Street, setting a benchmark for milestone dining. Kitty Cat ferries glide across the river just beyond the outdoor terrace. Longtime regulars lean into shared multi-course banquets—think Moreton Bay bug dumplings finished in bisque and caviar, tiger prawn chili linguini, and crisp reef squid paired with four house sauces. The cellar keeps pace with dedicated sommelier guidance, pouring Barossa reds and crisp drops right down to classic caviar service with warm blinis and crème fraîche.

  • Story Bridge Vistas: Balcony and open terrace seating delivers direct, unobstructed sightlines across the river to the Story Bridge.
  • Seafood Banquets: Multi-course shared banquets and platters feature Moreton Bay bug dumplings, tiger prawn chili linguini, and distinct house sauces.
  • Traditional Caviar Service: Classic service plated with traditional buttermilk blinis, crème fraîche, chives, cornichon, and sieved egg.

The Tillerman Experience

Why diners choose Tillerman for riverside dining and celebratory seafood feasts

  • Unrivaled Story Bridge and River Views

    Tillerman's terrace and balcony seating provide prime outdoor vantage points directly overlooking the Brisbane River, Story Bridge, and passing ferries.

    We had an amazing view of the river and the Story Bridge as we ate a beautiful meal, watching the little ferry "the Kitty Cat" come and go in between the larger River Cats.

Before you head over

Practical advice for reservations, timing, and accessibility when dining on the riverfront

  • Confirm Allergies and Milestones at the Table

    If you have dietary restrictions or special occasion requests noted on your booking, confirm them directly with your server when ordering to ensure the kitchen and staff are fully aligned.

  • Check Kitchen Cutoff for Late Lunches

    Arriving for a late lunch around mid-afternoon requires quick coordination with reception to ensure the kitchen is still taking orders before the afternoon turnover.

  • Plan for Accessibility and Waterfront Navigation

    The venue provides elevator access for guests requiring step-free entry; allow a few extra minutes upon arrival as navigating the riverside location can be slightly tricky.
