drunken admiral

seafood was fresh however the quality was standard and portions were tiny for the price that you pay. i really don't understand why this place is soo hyped.

easily the best seafood chowder i have ever eaten. the vibe is great; decor is very on-theme, staff are wonderfully wonderful and the food overall was delicious. i recommend this restaurant highly.

my 8 year old son insisted this was a 'five out of five' because of the delicious chicken strips and desert although i'm sure the fun decor helped. the chowder was delicious as was the tasting plate and fishermans hot pot. a genuine 5 out of 5.

one of my friend recommends drunken admiral to me. once i tried the oysters which is the best ever. maybe because the oyster is so good, for the plain grilled blue eye fillet it's ok. nothing special for me. as for the dessert, i picked scotch-butter pudding. it is too much for one person.

an impressive night out. i really liked the nautical theme and the seafood matched. chowder filling and the mussels bursting with flavour. serving sizes are massive, incidentally. service pretty good for the most part. a great dining option.

fantastic meal as always.
love coming here...
the salmon was cooked perfectly..
and the chowder was amazing..
great service and ambiance is one of a kind

what a kookie little spot. if nothing else the comedy of eating amongst the 'sea treasures' was enough. the chips were the most dismal item served undoubtedly. no salt, not a great texture, and they weren't fresh/hot. but, the rest of the meal was good! we had the big pot of seafood curry and the load of bread. a tad bit of spice and a good soupy broth. very filling but slightly overpriced at nearly $50.

delicious fresh seafood , mussels are a favourite, get them every time we come here,also the sultan wok is great, fish is cooked how you like it, service is quick and friendly,

food was great and very fresh! could tell that a lot of time and effort has gone into decorating the place! lots of quirky items everywhere..
excellent service. don't know what the bad reviews are on about.. saw some reviews say the decor was tacky.. if that was you, don't leave the house because you're obviously batshit boring.

we came to hobart and had in our minds that one night we would get a seafood platter for 2. after looking at reviews for all restaurants we decided to come here.
it is pretty big!! comes with a big selection of food hot and cold.
me and my boyfriend were pretty excited when it turned up. everything was lovely, i only have two minor things to say which is probably all down to preference - i believe you should never deep fry scallops and that the smoked salmon was a little on the dry side.
everything apart from that was excellent service was good and i loved the decor. when we left i could hardly move but my boyfriend said he wasn't full 😱 i think maybe he is a bottomless pit.

googled best places to eat in hobart and this place comes up. thought we will give it a try because peacock and jones (restaurant beside them) was closed. worse decision ever. the decor so cliche , not quirky. looks like one of those restaurants that you see in gordon ramsey's kitchen nightmare. the server was so rude, they gave us cold fries and undercooked rice. don't understand why people put good ratings here. the food is not great. but the seafood taste quite fresh

avast matey! prepare to have your wallet plundered by some genuine pirates who will: ignore you, serve you undercooked fish, then serve you overcooked fish, ignore you some more, then charge you a pirate's ransom. the night went so poorly, i half expected the bill to contain a black spot. avoid, me'hearties!

delicious! you have to get the seafood chowder, so creamy and packed with fresh seafood, the chipotle calamari is also top notch, staff are helpful and friendly, happy to fit us in even though they were fully booked.

go there. really good food. they sell themselves or rather other people sell them as a top notch restaurant. well they are top notch without the top notch price... really good food at a reasonable price... a definite definite must if you are in hobart.... but make sure you book....

this place has so much hype around hobart so we thought we'd try it. a warning- don't be silly, book before going...it's always full.

the place has very quirky fishing and marine decor but is still cosy without being too crowded. it is rather noisy though and it should be noted that the tables and chairs are a little wobbly. the service was really good, the waiters had good knowledge of the menu and of what could work best for two diners.

as we knew its price tag was rather high, we decided to order two sharing style mains and a reasonably priced entree. we got the bread roll with the aioli for entree, priced around $7. it was well worth it, we got a whole roll and a good amount of sauce. tick. flavoursome, simple and not too filling. then our mains came (fisherman's selection and the yachtie's mixed grill) and they were of a good-not a crazy- size. the seafood was obviously very fresh and did not taste frozen at all. a great selection of battered and grilled tasmanian caught seafood. overall this was a great experience service and food wise and the place does deserve the rating it has acquired. however l, i think though the prices are still a little steep and they could've thrown in a few more bits of seafood especially in the fisherman's selection. also with the mixed grill you have to cook the seafood on the sizzling plate yourselves which was a bit new for me. we will try it again though!
