the lounge by frogmore creek

this was one of the most memorable dining experiences in hobart. the decor is beautiful with lovely views overlooking hobart. the menu is modern and really is a taste sensation. we ordered the fish and beef and the presentation, flavours and serving size was perfection. the desserts were the pana cotta and the pudding which were both fabulous finishes to a lovely meal. service was first class with an amazing wine list. a definite visit for hobart.

zomato there is something wrong with the rating for this restaurant as ann of the reviews are 4 or higher. this is a 5 star restaurant on the docks of hobart.

ineffective cocktail list and very limited food options

dinner here was in every way magnificent. wish i could give it more than 5 stars. the current 3.8 rating is a gross injustice; shame on you zomato!

the lounge effortlessly balances international flavours with fine tassie produce. sophisticated decor interplays form & function - the kitchen’s open to the dining room & thoughtfully engineered acoustics are conducive to *gasp* real life conversation. the look & feel may be poshe but it’s completely accessible & unpretentious. which explains our primo seating at an elegant, cushy corner booth like the vips we so clearly are.

over 3 indulgent courses, every dish was exciting - it’s impossible to play favourites. the restrained menu merely hinted at the surehanded execution & confidence in that open kitchen. all plates were refined, seasoned to perfection & pretty as a freaken picture. if there’s one regret it’s not ordering a side of duck fat potatoes to accompany the wallaby striploin roast but that’s entirely our bad. hot tip: do not miss desserts, they’re obscenely good. predictably frogmore creek is showcased on the winelist (yum!) & a select range of international wines are available by the bottle.

service was unobtrusive, knowledgable & very personable. ‘the salmon’s where it’s at’ was an astute assertion which turned out to be the understatement of the century.

pics below speak volumes more than all the preceding waffle - enjoy.

lovely restaurant, really friendly service, great cocktails. food was delicious and presented beautifully but didn’t feel overly pretentious which is wonderful. would definitely recommend this place for drinks in their stunning lounge area and a meal to follow!

frogmore creek is one of my favourite wineries in hobart and i love their ‘art on a plate’ food. it’s so convenient that they now have the lounge in hobart city so you can enjoy their food in the evening. the intricacy of the plating and the emphasis on seasonal and tasmanian produce will make me return time after time. #frogmorecreek #tasmania

after heading to the frogmore winery the day before i was delighted to discover they had another venue in the city. same delicious canapés, same award winning wines and a stunning space overlooking the water. plenty of ambiance inside too with the venue itself beautifully fitted out. would definitely recommend both of their establishments

lovely spot.. we stopped in here for a pre-dinner drink. like so many places on the pier beautiful atmosphere right on the water but well sheltered by glass & heaters.
shared some shoestring fries & a few drinks. staff were super friendly & accommodating. beautiful decor inside was very plush.

great location right on the water, staff were friendly and attentive. great small plates to share. oysters were delicious. spent a lovely afternoon here. would definitely return when back in hobart.

i walked past the lounge one evening and liked the look of it so decided to go there one evening with my wife. the restaurant is very chic and trendy, the tables for two, unlike other places, are very sizeable and comfortable, as are the chairs. the view of the waterfront is unobstructed and quite magnificent. the staff are very professional and courteous, as well as quite knowledgeable of the food. every dish we had was absolutely spectacular and we loved it so much we went back for a second night and had the same great experience. highly recommend the frogmore cigar dessert. it's a masterpiece and very heston blumenthal-like.

great fine dine spot with a nice range of drinks, good food and excellent views. great for a date night. the service we had was absolutely top notch and made us feel very special and important. kept us informed of everything the whole night and accommodated all of our requests with a smile. entrees were the winner here.

after a visit to the frogmore creek winery during the day and wetting our lips with the various drops - my partner and i were convinced that we had to stop in for a glass or two at the lounge once we got back to hobart city centre from our winery tour. the lounge is in the perfect spot right on the dock waterfront with a beautiful view! we had already dined and walked around the area but had missed just how close the lounge was - as we hadn't seen it previously - so i was very glad to know that it wasn't too far away from where we were staying if we wanted to head on over for drinks before we flew home!

although we came with the intention of drinking a glass or two of the riesling (which we loved upon tasting), we bought ended up having a mulled cider (with spiced rum) each and lounged near the bar. i loved the live music too - as it added an extra touch of class but also gave it a relaxed vibe to what could easily be an overly stuffy environment. staff were friendly and attentive - offering up hobart tips for travels too. would come back for food on our next visit!
