The seafood taster plate was amazing, however I must say that we did not get blown away by the food. We were expecting a lot more from an award winning restaurant. The menu seemed quite minimal which could be a great thing but in this instance we didn't think that there was enough variety of seafood. I would recommend people go there and try it out. I guess I was expecting a lot more.

A beautiful building on the waterfront with a very promising set of reviews to recommend it…read more Unfortunately our experience did not match that of other diners. We were seated quickly and served a tough and uncharming focaccia that lacked flavor or a desirable texture. The olive oil served with it was slightly bitter and missing balsamic. We selected the spaghetti with abalone (massively over cooked) and mussels (basically raw & overly herbed/greasy). The wagyu steak was served as a "child's portion", yet was delivered extremely rare and had to be sent back - our daughter sat without food for twenty minutes while we all ate. The squid was charred to bitterness, rubbery and left a nasty taste in the mouth. The bottles of wine on the menu were egregiously overpriced and they had no oysters due to weather conditions. This is seriously probably one of the most disappointing meals we've had out in a good few years, and we have been in the states living under COVID for the last two of those. Staff were pleasant enough and the presentation of the food was very tempting, however neither could compensate for the serious shortcomings in the (very overpriced) food.

The most expensive fish and chips I've had in my life…read more 2 adults and 3 children - each had 2 pieces of fish (trevalla, flake, flathead) (fish doesn't come with chips), the table had 2 serves of chips and a garden salad. We had 3 soft drinks. The bill was $144. To their credit the fish serves we're good portions, fresh, hot and tasty, and the chips were nice. The service was good. After ordering (there was only 1 ordering till and the line was 15 people deep causing a wait on ordering for say 15 minutes) the food arrived in ~15 minutes. But in terms of value for money this place sucks. Go to Mures in Hobart where exactly the same would cost you a little over $100.

Twice in two days, I must really like this place. With several different types of whitefish, and…read morethree different types of batter to choose from, you're not going to be disappointed. I really enjoyed the freshness of the fish. The only bad thing is the frozen chips/fries, but the fish more than makes up for it. Even though the chips are frozen, they're still pretty good. The next time I'm in Launceston, I'm certain to find myself here again. American tourists, if you haven't already acclimated to the higher prices for eating at a restaurant in Australia, don't be put off. The pricing is reasonable for what you get.

Why on earth didn't I think of that myself? It was so good that we almost ordered a second but decided against it for fear we wouldn't have room for the mains. Steak was cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce was to die for. I could have eaten that sauce alone and been totally content it was so flavoursome and delicious. The burger was actually really fresh tasting- if you want a greasy, American style burger this is not the place for you. This burger meat pattie tender and juicy and "spicy chipotle" did not disappoint- it was extremely hot! Finally, the tortellini was full of flavour and the portion a decent size (particularly if you are having entrees). Desserts were not too rich and obviously the ice cream was scrumptious. The only critique I have is that I assume they were understaffed tonight (either in the kitchen or waitstaff) as service was very slow, and I heard a lot of people complaining and waiters apologising. I'm sure this is not their usual routine and we may have caught them on a bad night. We waited quite a while for mains and then dessert and did not bother waiting for the bill (went up to the counter to retrieve it ourselves). We noticed many around us also waited quite a while for their meals. The food was so good though that this really didn't impact my opinion of the restaurant too much and I would definitely return!
