Set in a beautiful location and the decor make you feel as if you were a boat house. Very friendly…read moreand helpful staff. Always had a smile when she was serving us. 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.

They did not push us even though this is a very popular place and there is a time limit on the tables. Drinks names and combinations are very inventive and quite tasty. We would definitely return if ever in the area.

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.

Another 5 Star restaurant in Launceston and possibly the our best one yet. We made a reservation in…read moreadvance and still could only get a 5:30PM seat...something we rarely do. And glad that we did. We had never been there before and thought it was larger. It is quite small but very cozy. We ordered an order of house made sourdough bread served with a portion of cultured butter $3, a 400 gram porterhouse steak cooked medium rare that was served with a potato galette topped with a Dijon mustard cream sauce and chives $60, a side of steamed asparagus with lemon, elderberry, and golden sesame $13, and the Mr. Brown and Towns mixed mushrooms, parsley and garlic oil $13.50. The bread arrived and it was a beauty of A Piece. Tasty and the butter very good. We decided to leave it for the meal. Then the Porterhouse(we call it a NY Strip) arrived and it was beautiful. The taste was great. The marbling cooked right out to deliver a beautiful piece of meat. We ordered the Peppercorn sauce and an extra Café de Paris Sauce $2. Both sauces were great, although the steak was so great that it really didn't need them. The potato galette was awesome as it was topped with a Dijon cream sauce and chopped chives. I have now come home(US) and tried to make it. I will eventually get there!!! Now for the sides, the Mr. Brown and Towns mushrooms were some of the best I have ever had. Interesting that we had seen them at the Harvest Market that morning and admired them. Sad we were in a hotel and nowhere to cook them. When we saw them on the menu we hesitated for a moment as we are not garlic fans...don't let that stop you. If available, order them. Then there were the asparagus. We normally don't order as much food but couldn't help. Glad we did. They were over the top good. No room for dessert! Highly recommend. Make a reservation well in advance. Can't wait until our next trip to Launceston. Black Cow...Thanks for a great meal.
