pleasantly surprised by the quality of food put out here having been disappointed for most of the visit to hobart.

had dinner here and decided to have a selection of small entrees rather than the classic 3 course meal having conferred with the very pleasant and helpful waiter.

the wagyu tartare was prepared well, had the traditional creamy texture from the yolk but the addition of the peppery crisp gave it that extra dimension.
the highlight of the meal was the salt ling fritters with anchovy emulsion and radicchio had that intrigue of the bitter, creamy, salty and fish taste rolled into one.
the least favourite was the chicken parfait which was creamy and smooth but the toasted brioche bread was too sweet and threw the whole balance of the meal.

overall though a very enjoyable meal andhighlyrecommended to anyone visiting hobart when compared to some of the morehighlyrated establishments which aren't that great from experience so far

great restaurant with outstanding staff. we arrived early and were place at a table overlooking the restaurant. our waiters were very attentive and happy to answer any questions we had about the menu.
the beef tartare was great and flavoursome. the lamb ribs we beautifully well cooked and falling off the bone. forgot to take photos of our mains as i was having such a good time.
i wouldhighlyrecommend this place for a nice romantic diner.

what a cosy little restraunt right by the pier. with the seating within an area with a fire and a multiple heaters it was so fab. we enjoyed the duck and pork mains coupled with impeccable service and great tassie wines it was a fab night.highlyrecommend.

i don’t know whether it is tasmania in general or what but the food comes out ssssssoooooo slowwwwwlyyyyyyy. thank goodness i always look at the menu beforehand and quickly order food for kids as soon as i sit down, because my dining companion who ordered their kids meal with theirs waited for more than 40 mins before the kids meal arrived, and had to survive (😶) with more free bread and scabbing my kid’s mains.


i had the kingfish starter which wasn’t very fresh. my friend ordered a chicken and scallops starter and she found it small and not very good either. my kids got tomato salad starter and that wasn’t flavoursome... and i guess because i had a tomato salad as well at templo for lunch and theirs were just out of this world, this seriously pales in comparison. the steak tartare has too much going on, tabasco, pickles, mustard... it was a bit of an overkill. the wallaby washighlyrecommended by the waitress but that was too dry 😞

my duck was good & the lamb dish i ordered for my kids were amazing. so i would definitelyhighlyrecommend going there and just getting the lamb.

beautiful restaurant. loved the ambience, the friendly service and the high quality yet not overly pretentious meals. my main was cooked to perfection and my desert was delicious.highlyrecommend this wonderful experience.

we loved it last night. good to see people work professionally behind and front of desk too.highlyrecommended for everyone and don't ignore dessert. it's worth it!

lovely service and food! pork neck was tasty. a side of green beans was needed and they were good. the fries were a taste sensation. bread and butter washighlynomable. i would return here again for a special occasion.
