If you want a salad bar, do not go here. For round plastic take away container for almost $10 I…read moreexpected something reasonable. First, they did not have any kind of green salad. I asked if they had anything with lettuce and tomato and they said "only in the summer". I then asked if I could have some ham with my salad and was told it would cost $2 extra for a single round slice of processed ham from the sandwich counter. A disagreement then ensued between 3 members of staff as to whether meat in a salad was included in the price, A small round slice of processed ham was then plopped in my container as a special offer. The salads are unrecognisable - everything is buried in a pool of mayonnaise so I had to ask what each one was. So the result was being $10 poorer and trying to wade through a swamp of mayonnaise. And of course I thought I would eat it in the park to find my take-away mayo swamp did not include a fork or a napkin. Went back to work to try to eat it, and after a few forkfulls of overpowering vinegar mayonnaise, have thrown the lot in the bin.

Unexpectedly, they had a salad bar (all you can eat) which was a great way to start the meal. With several lettuce salads to choose from, olives, fresh tomatoes, apples, beets, etc, I found so many ingredients to make my salad just what I liked. For dinner, I chose the small rump which was like a 6-7oz ribeye. It was cooked perfectly to my specification. It came with roasted potatoes. The steak and potatoes were delicious. With the salad, it was a pert combo. Parking is on the street. We got a spot right in front of the place. Parking is free after 5:30pm so that was convenient. Apparently, the restaurant was never a jail, despite the bars on the windows, but the vibe was still fun and created a nice atmosphere. Service was excellent. Great stop.

Rupert & Hound is a seafood restaurant located on the banks of the North Esk River at Launceston's…read moreSeaport. This was our "fine dining" experience during our recent stay in Launceston. This place was a bit of a hike from our hotel, but well worth the exercise. The service here was perhaps the best I've experienced in awhile. That included being seating, early drinks, ordering, deliver from the kitchen, and paying up front. There was the right amount of checking in, without being overbearing. That included our interaction with a supervised trainee. The 4 us had a nice table by the window and a nice view of other folks in the dining room. We were particularly taken by the loving interactions of a dressed up young mother having her son out to dinner. Our wine? Tasmanian selections of course, including my nice choice of a dry Riesling. Cheesy Bread started us as the first choice off the menu, followed by a variety of seafood choices. I chose the Crumbled Tasmanian Scallops (with Chips). All were spot on in terms of presentation, taste, and portions. There was no rush to give up our table, but we did cut it short when our other fellow travelers (at another table) were ready to leave. We had reservations, which became more evident with the folks crowding the entrance when we left.

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.

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.
