Review by 3008 Docklands Magazine

From the stunning silver ball chandeliers, to the LCD screens displaying the action in the kitchen, BlueFire is a restaurant which presents a unique edge to Brazilian Churrascaria in a click, modern setting with friendly, attentive service.

As your waiter will explain, Churrascaria is Portuguese for barbeque. All seven meats (sausage, beef, lamb, squid, fish, chicken and pork) are marinated in special recipes and cooked over a griller to your taste ($49.00 inclusive). A friendly Passador (meat waiter) will then come to your table with a large skewer of one type of meat and start slicing pieces onto your plate.

This continues until your stomach surrenders and refuses to eat anymore. When this happens, turn your drink coaster over from green to red, or back again when you decide you can squeeze more in.

To accompany the meats are a number delicious side dishes and condiments. Firstly, a plate of fresh, home-made dips, olives and bruschetta are brought to the table, then a selection of perfectly grilled vegetables. You can also order extra dishes from the a-la-carte menu, the Roasted Portabella Mushrooms with Herbs ($7.00) were too good to miss, despite our tightening belts. BlueFire is indeed a rare find – an experience that won’t disappoint.

Customer Comments & Feedback - on BlueFire Docklands

"was very very pleased of the result last night! Food was well cooked, couldn't be any happier! The desert was unbelievable! I would definitely come back for the Black and white Bailey Chocolate Mousse!! 9/10 for food and service 10/10 can't get any better!" - Trung

Just wanting to let you know I love bluefire grill. I have been there 2 times now and have loved both experiences. The waiters are all consistently nice and always asking if we're needing anything which is great because we don't need to wait for a waitress to come around like other restaurants. Coasters work great and the pork is by far the best meat. Love it! Thanks for a great experience - Sylvia

Recently we booked a table for Four (4) and certainly looked forward to what was to come. We had heard from a few frieds that menu was very good, but not as good as we later found out.

Firstly we were greeted by a very helpful lady who passed us onto another staff member who showed us to our table. Before long, a lovely young Drinks Waiter came along and helped us with selecting a nice bottle of wine, aong with several "lady" drinks. Then it "crept up on you". Now was the beginning of our "delicous food" experience.

I have to say, that with the entrees, we were told by our friends, that we should take it easy and not over order, as the "mains" food was plenty. We later also found out that they were not wrong. We ordered a varety of entrees and shared them. The waiters appeared often enough, to check and see if we needed anything and were very pleasant.

The food was so tasteful that we had to control ourselves. First of all, the beef was lean and tender; the chicken was as as any bbq that I've cooked; the fish melted in your mouth; and the lamb was as moist & tender as I've tasted at other well known restaurants. And did I mention the vegies??? Well, they were cooked in the Brazlian way...... and we in fact had several serves of it, as it not only looked and tasted good.... but in fact was very healthy for you.

The atmostphere was different to other reataurants that we go to. The one thing that we thought stood out was the TV Monitors place around the restaurant, showing what went on in the kitchen. To actually see the food geting prepared and cooked right in front of your eyes was magic. I have to also mention that the whole retaurant was so clean. Whether it was in the Dining area, the Bar or in fact the Toilets, it was very clean. You could tell that this establishment takes pride in all areas.

It was hard to fit and desert, but one look at the menu, and we somehow fitted that in. By now.... it was late, and so we we thught that we had better go, but not before we thanked the Staff and Management for a brilliant night of great service and sensational Food. Credit to all. We certainly have passed onto our friends/family (and will continue to) about our BRILLIANT DINING EXPERIENCE at the BLUEFIRE. - Nick & Sophie

Hi I just wanted to formally express my appreciation to Bryan and the team for making my 40th birthday celebration last Saturday night (21/10) such a memorable evening.

Bryan was extremely helpful in the planning and the evening went off without a hitch. All our guests enjoyed themselves and had favourable comments about Bluefire Grill - Thanks !! - S. Cohen

First time at the Bluefire. We had the Winter Special the food was mouthwatering (loved the chicken), the atmosphere was great and the service was fast and attentive. I would highly recommend going there for a great dinning experience. Nick

My partner surprised me for my birthday last year (Sep 06) with dinner at BlueFire docklands having the Churrascaria menu, this time I'm taking him for his birthday (Aug 07) to the Melbourne Central restaurant, we just love it!! - Kerry, Clyde Vic

"Just wanted to let you know we had a fantastic time at BlueFire.
Everyone is still talking about how much fun we had.The food was great!
The service was fantastic. Thanks again!!" - Christmas Party, IBA Health

My girlfriend and I love BlueFire Grill we've been to the restaurant at least 15 times. It's great. - G Hibbert

I would just like to say a huge THANK YOU to you and the staff at Bluefire Grill Waterfront City Docklands. It made my night extra special as the service and food were extraordinary.
I must say, I don't eat a fish but the fish and calamari that we had was exquisite, (I think I am a convert now). Also, Lily our waitress was fantastic having a table of 25 or more is hard enough I think she did a fantastic job. Some of my work colleagues and myself will be coming to you again sometime in July for either a lunch or dinner and I personally can not wait and will be recommending you guys to everyone I know. Once again thank you to you all.

My partner and I visited BlueFire last night to celebrate my birthday. We had wonderful service, fabulous food and a most relaxed and enjoyable surrounding. Thank you for all your attention to detail, and for making this such a pleasurable dining experience. We will be back, bringing other friends with us! - Marcia H

Great place for a meal before footy @ Telstra Dome. We had the Churrascaria menu. Beautiful meats , delicious vegetables. Excellent service. Highly recommended. - J & D

I took my parents to Sunday lunch and was really impressed with the level of customer service and the quality of the food. We had the Churrascaria - the entree of bruschetta, fresh bread, dips and olives was the melt in your mouth variety. And the grilled meats and seafood! The choices kept coming, and we couldn't turn them away! We did have to stop eventually, however, to make room for dessert. Enormous desserts, again, of excellent quality. We had a wonderful waitress that told us how to go about eating the bab au rhum - she's a gem. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday afternoon experience. We look forward to our next visit. - Marcela

We have been twice to BlueFire. We enjoyed both times. The food is just delicious; the meats and accompaniments (mash, rice, vegies) so well marinated and cooked. We have had the ribs, the rib eye and the chicken breast.

The Ribs at BlueFire are not like any other that is available in Melbourne. They are simply tender, well prepared and generous. - E, S & K

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at BlueFire on Saturday night (13th November 2004) and had the Churrascaria menu. It made a change from the usual restaurants in that the chefs come and carve from the skewers at your table.

We were very impressed with the quality of the food, not to mention the quantity - it just kept coming out until we were full. Can't believe I even attempted a dessert and couldn't even eat half of it (it was huge also)!

We've told our friends and family about it and will definitely come back again with other people.
- Melanie

I had the pleasure of dining at Blue Fire recently and I have to say the atmosphere is great, the food is delicious and the service, friendly and efficient. I would also like to make special mention of the coasters, they are a fabulous idea. - Eleisha

Came on a Saturday night (9/10/04) for my birthday. Had a great night, I think we were on of the last to leave, we retreated to the bar where we continued drinking& enjoyed a cigar. Cannot wait for the warmer weather to enjoy our next meal outside. Our waitress was wonderful, a job well done. We will be back. - Monica

We came on Friday for a birthday. I loved the atmosphere, the food (SO much food - I think I had the rib of a dinosaur), the chef (who we met), but especially the service. - Mary

My wife and I visited the restaurant opening night. We had never experienced Brazilian BBQ before - WE LOVED IT! We had the mixed grill and it was something to behold. The experience of having the chef's carve the meat off the skewers was fantastic! We referred some friends and they went 2 nights later and thought the same. In fact, there are pictures of them on the website. - Bruno Bertucci
