After seeing this restaurant advertised on socials I was keen to try it. Unfortunately it ended up being a very disappointing experience!!! My husband’s meal came to the table 30 minutes after ordering and we had to ask where my meal was another 30 minutes after that - not good!!! The chicken parmigiana was burnt and the pork belly was very dry and chewy. The only positive were the chips that came with the parmi were very good!

Booked table for 6 Valentines Night dinner. Unfortunately the owner had had quiet nights leading up to that night so put staff off. Only 1 in kitchen, 1 waitress, 1 bartender and himself. Lucky his wife stopped by for a drink after work. 2 and. Half hours later we got our food. 1 meal came , 30 minutes later the rest came in dribs and drabs. I really felt sorry for them as they were not expecting such a busy night , it ended up being flat out. We had a really good night though, margaritas and 6 bottles of wine so how could we not. Good live music. We will go back but they need to do something about the menu, just basic pub food and not that good

Brilliant service, which is rare on the Sunshine Coast. Great menu and all of the food was delicious. They had an acoustic musician playing the night we went who was excellent. Great night!

Great for a date night and listen to music. Food was amazing and drinks were delicious. Although food and drinks were a bit pricey overall was an amazing experience.

Conor and his staff were extremely polite and apologetic for the wait time on our food which was a shame as when you are out eating with friends you want to be all eating at the same time. Because of a few hiccups during the course of our evening they ran out of a dish and offered a free dish to compensate and apologies which was very much appreciated. Unfortunately my husband’s dish was overcooked and cold. Not good management by the Chef who I feel was overwhelmed with the big function they had before. Our starters were a great hit and my Chicken was great. I will definitely try again as I believe you can’t just judge by one not so good experience. The only other issue was the music was very loud great duo but hate having to talk loudly.

As a huge fan of piano bar, I was eagerly anticipating the return of a venue like this one, and the architect certainly did not disappoint. The ambiance was perfect, the staff were excellent, and the food was delicious— I highly recommend the lamb. I'm looking forward to many more nights here!

We were very disappointed in The Architect, had wanted to go there since it opened, but it was very disorganised, service slow then when meals came, entree and mains came all at once, meals were ok but nothing special and very little choice especially for someone likee who is allergic to garlic and is pescatarian. We loved this venue when it was the Piano Bar and were excited about somewhere with love music but we would not go back.
