Why it's worth checking out
Sage Yellowfin brings a seafood-led take on Modern Australian dining to Little Stanley Street in South Bank, with a position overlooking the South Bank Parklands. The menu draws on Queensland and Australian produce, combining coastal ingredients with broader global influences. Seafood is central, but the offering also includes steaks, lamb, chicken, duck, salads, pasta, risotto, children’s meals and desserts, giving groups plenty of choice.
Oysters are a clear speciality, shucked to order and served in natural, Lychee Chilli, Kilpatrick and Rockefeller styles. The broader seafood selection includes Queensland king prawns, Fremantle octopus, Hervey Bay scallops, Moreton Bay bugs, Tasmanian salmon and New Zealand mussels. Standout larger dishes include the Deception Bay Sand Crab Lasagna, Fraser Coast Char-Grilled Feast and Seafood Feast, while the steak section features Riverina Black Angus and full-blood grass-fed cuts. There are also shareable seafood and surf-and-turf platters designed for celebrations and group meals.
The restaurant describes its approach as a blend of bold coastal flavours, careful technique and local produce from Queensland and beyond. Its dining experience includes a dining room, a bar and outdoor dining, with signature cocktails also promoted on the site. The setting and location make it particularly practical for visitors attending a performance at QPAC, with pre-show and post-show dining highlighted alongside dinner-and-a-show occasions.
Sage Yellowfin suits a range of South Bank plans, from a date night, anniversary or birthday dinner to a larger group booking. Private dining is available for corporate and other group occasions, and the children’s menu caters for guests aged 12 and under. It is also positioned as an option for a relaxed meal before exploring the South Bank Parklands or heading to a nearby performance. Bookings are recommended, especially for limited or early sittings.
