We are in Hobart and wanted a nice place to eat, with great atmosphere, and good seafood. A friend had recommended Mures Upper Deck so we went... We're glad we did! Here's what we noticed: - A tour guy had told us that Mures Upoer Deck would be the same food as on the lower level, just pricier, but I don't think that is true. The menu was very broad, there's great cocktails, and a comprehensive wine list, and food that you can't get in the more fast food-like atmosphere down below. - We had a reservation and when we arrived, the place was practically empty. They seated us at a table by the window; the views were beautiful. - We decided to order cocktails off their cocktail menu, although some of the cocktails were supposed to be smoked and the server said their smoker wasn't working. We got them anyway and they were very nice. - We decided to start with a few oysters and the octopus salad. Both were really tasty. For our main course, my wife and I split the full flathead fish, which seemed to be a special that day. When it came out, we asked our server how to cut it, and he said he had never done it before so he didn't know himself, but that the chef cuts down the middle so that's what we did. The fish was really nicely done, and the other items on the plate added to it all very well. - Service was pretty good, but as I've noted, our server didn't seem to be very experienced, coming by our table way too much to check in. I think at some point he got the message. I wanted to just eat my dinner. Bottom line: We had a great experience at Mures Upper Deck and would recommend it to anyone looking for a little fancier evening. read more

Ok I'm ready for my fancy drinking lunch. What a gem! The serene waterfront views paired perfectly with the crisp white wine makes for the best lunch. The seafood chowder was an absolute dream--rich, creamy, and brimming with perfectly cooked seafood. Each spoonful was happiness and joy. We were so glad to have stumbled upon this spot. It's a place I'd happily return to again and again! read more

Great views from this restaurant. Every time I've come to this restaurant we've had amazing food service has been quick and each time we came we didn't have a booking and was seated immediately. Mures is always on my list of places to eat when I come to Hobart. read more

Evidently this place is not for Americans. Look the abalone was tasty. I asked one person if it was fresh and the shell I got belonged to the abalone they served me. I was told yes, but later on I was told that it is not. They reuse the shell. I'm not so sure I got a whole abalone as it was sliced thin and not much too it based on the size of the shell. The lobster was frozen. I was told the half lobster was $130 and the whole was about 2 times as much. We tried the half. So it came Mornay style and the lobster meat was chopped into small pieces. 5 to be exact and each one was very small. Think total volume about 1/3 of a standard Milky Way bar. I'm not even sure if it was the lobster that came with the shell or they just scooped some out of a pot. Don't know how it tasted, sent it back due to price and portion size I will say this, they were accommodating and took it off the bill and offered some free wine or desert which we did not take them up on The broccolini was excellent The smoked fish soup was a pass for me. read more

Service was wonderful. Quick, polite, knowledgeable. The menu, essentially all seafood, had variety yet emphasized local. The dining room is large and we'll enough spread that table conversation is audible. The food was well presented. Yet it had little flavor, even overcooked the fish and chips, making the fish dry rather than moist. read more

We started off with the host pulled out our seats and pushed it in for each one of us. I ordered a Pinot that was for the restaurant (very small pour for $10) my friend ordered a pink martini ($22).We got bread at $3 per slice. My friends got scallops and a side of broccolini and green beans. I got the pumpkin and butternut squash risotto. My friends got the apple tart tartin. They loved it. Pretty expensive. read more

This is a review for the lower deck not the upper deck, so take it for what it's worth. Great location. That's it. Fish and chips were sub par- like a cheap cafeteria. Soup was so bad my wife couldn't even finish more than a few spoonfuls. Yes, it's a touristy area but FFS put some pride into your product. read more

The flagship restaurant of the Mures family located in the middle of the harbor above several other eateries (also owned by the Family). Look for the big green building overlooking the harbor. We had a 7 pm booking and I'm glad we did as they were turning away walk-ins on a summer Thursday night. We were given a lovely table for-two looking out on the harbor. The menu here is centered around fresh caught fish prepared and presented in a beautiful style. There were several specials and I opted for the mild, flakey tooth fish filet set in a mix of asparagus tomato and grains while my wife tried another local white fish. Their extensive wine list is also heavy on local producers and there are many nice selections by the glass in addition to the bottle list. Service was a bit slow bit we never felt neglected-I think they could do with a few more staff as our poor server, wHile diligent seemed to just have too many tables. All in all a nice, elegant (yet not stuffy), dining experience on the water. Recommended read more

We were on a Viking cruise ship and wanted some great Tasmanian seafood. Mures Upper Deck was recommended by the locals so we walked over from the ship. It was a short walk. I had the lobster and it literally was the best I have ever eaten. In the US it would have been frozen, but this was fresh out of the sea. It was so good that I will have to go back to Hobart to have it again. The service was excellent. The view was of lobster boats leaving the harbor to go get more lobsters. read more

This is a great spot for an occasion. Not cheap but the flavours are incredible. We shared a chowder (which they even served us in two bowls) and it had shredded fish, smoked mussels, etc etc, everything still with distinct flavours. This is a chowder on overdrive. I had the trevalla, which was served sitting in a shallow broth with large pieces of its own skin dried in chip form. The broth itself was delicious. My partner had the grilled salmon. It was served with a kind of lentil stew that had something salty like bacon in it. Such powerful flavours! And to top all that off, we also had a miringue with berry compote and an Earl Grey flavoured creme brulee. It was a lot but was so good. read more

Excellent food and service. Had the Pipers Brook Rose which was great. Had a side salad which was a generous and proper salad with fresh greens, and the Moretón Bay bug for my main. It's basically a lobster and was pretty good. Definitely worth checking out and there's nice views all around. read more

Looking for a seafood late lunch. This place came highly recommended. I had the lunch Fish & Chips and my husband had the Trevalla (Blue-eyed Cod) and Risotto. This was one of the best seafood meals we have every had. The fish was so fresh tasting and the risotto was amazing. Too bad we have to go home or would go back for dinner too! read more

This is a very good to excellent fish restaurant, bayside near the cruise terminal. It has beautiful views out its large windows and excellent fresh fish dishes. I went to lunch with friends. My wife said her fish and chips was the best she has ever had (and she has tried many in several countries). My fish chowder and my friend's broiled salmon were also very good. It is a bit expensive, but worth it. read more

Arrived about 6 without reservation. Fitted the 3 of us in no fuss. Shared a mixed dozen oysters that were great. Main meal was local fish,mixed seafood and battered fish and chips. All excellent. House wine was good. All in all a good experience and we will be back. Staff very helpful. read more

Took the time to book but still didn't get a view even though the tables at the window were vacant the entire time. What is the point of a restaurant on the water if you can't see it. Menu was VERY limited for a seafood restaurant. More a fish and chip restaurant. Service was lacking. read more

The seafood platters were perfect. We could not decide on a wine, so the wine waiter gave us a wine tasting derived from what we said our palates liked. Three wines all delightful. We chose one, I will place a snap of the label. Our palate is quite sweet. The whole night was delightful, we were so well looked after. The view over the dock was an added bonus. We absolutely recommend this venue to you all. read more

The food here is of very high quality. We started with the oyster platter. 2 and a half dozen oysters done different ways. All were good, some more then others, however, the quality of shucking was pretty poor, with all but a few of them having shell in the oyster. For mains the quail was a highlight, very well done. Panna cotta for dessert was excellent. Large wine selection as well with some great quality wine. Good views and excellent staff. read more

After being seated, we were told that our table was reserved for later to another party and that we had 90 minutes to complete our dinner. We rushed through in an hour. They really know how to spoil a dinner. Would not return. read more

Frankly, I was disappointed by our meal here as compared to three years ago. It's expensive, and the view isn't the best in Tassie. Service is very good. Food is very good. But nothing was exceptional, at at their prices it should have been. read more

Food was fair at best. Oyster were very small and the Kilpatrick was just bbq sauce and Coles bacon. The dinner roles were also supermarket basic straight out of the pack. Was an approximation of what someone in back of house thinks fancy food is like. read more

Not safe for people with celiac. I have celiac, my husband does not. We chose this restaurant because the menu had a number of GF (gluten free) and GFA (gluten free option with modifications) items. We ordered one GF and two modified GFA dishes. The person who took our order was very knowledgeable and explained what each modification was (dish 1: different sauce, no crumb topping; dish 2: different noodles, grilled mushrooms instead of tempura). However, we did not see her again and different people brought out the food. When the first GFA dish came out it appeared to be as described (no crumb topping) but it was impossible to tell by eye if the sauce was different. I ate about half of it, including something which I now believe to be a non-gf soy sauce or ponzu sauce in an agar (?) pearl. Then the GF dish and the other GFA dish came out. The server said "gluten free" as she set down the decidedly NOT gluten free GFA dish - there was tempura right on top! How could you miss this?? Obviously I didn't eat a bite of it, my husband ate that one. However clearly both of the allegedly gluten free GFA dishes were either contaminated or incorrectly made as I was up sick all night and have spent one of my precious vacation days feeling awful. As I said, the person who took our order clearly knew what she was doing, but there is either a communication problem in the kitchen or poor training amongst the other staff. Avoid this place if you have celiac. read more

So many times as locals we have been the bums rush no booking available when the restaurant is almost empty or come back for second sitting as if not happy but love pearl restaurant down stairs read more

So good to find a seafood restaurant in Hobart that does lovely vegetarian meals. My husband was very impressed with his oysters and scallops and i was in heaven over the mushroom pasta with truffle oil. Really lovely waitress made the night perfect! read more

A mainland client was interested in a seafood dinner and I had no hesitation in suggesting Mures Upper Deck. We were not let down and my client was equally impressed. We started with a combination of oysters for entree and these were fantastic. For mains the majority of us at the table went for the blue eye trevalla and scallops. Simply superb! The ambiance was warm and welcoming and the service was great. Can highly recommend Mures for a great dining experience. read more

We were not in Hobart for just one night and our ship recommended this place to us. It's truly a great spot. Service was perfect and the food delicious and the wine list was great. We unfortunately will never be able to return but if I could I would. read more

Best meal we've had in Hobart so far! My husband got the seafood laksa and I had the ocean trout paired with delicious fennel. Started with oysters, grilled octopus and the seafood chowder (a must order item). The beer and wine selection had local offerings in a range of prices, and the service and atmosphere were perfect. We will certainly be back next time we visit Tasmania. read more

Had another excellent meal at Mures upper deck. We shared the seafood laksa, the ocean trout dish, the octopus salad and the seafood chowder. Delicious is an understatement. The laksa was one of the best I've had and I am surprised to say that as I find unless a restaurant has a Thai chef, the laksa can be a bit meh. The trout was amazing and I don't eat octopus but my friends said it was dynamite. For me, the chowder was the winner. I've tried chowders all over Australia and I still think Mures is the best. Perhaps it's the bacon as it gives it an amazing smoky flavour. Also of note was the wine list and the service. We were looked after well and I will definitely return as soon as possible. read more

Best seafood chowder I ever have. Excellent service and good atmosphere with nice harbor view.

We arrived unexpectedly half an hour before kitchen close and they welcomed us in and lowered a platform to allow myself and walker(spinal injury) to traverse to the top of the stairs with ease. We ordered and our 10 year old son had access to a children's menu of 3 items which though limited covered great options and his medium rare steak with salad was perfect and not at all a rubbish steak as some children's steak options are. Cooked perfectly and very tender. My husbands salmon was delicious and my salad fresh and crunchy. Though we were the last patrons in the restaurant we were happy to leave after mains however we were welcomed to order dessert and coffee and did not feel rushed to vacate at all. All the staff were lovely, food was devine and the atmosphere welcoming and quietly relaxing. A new member of staff noticed my son discussing the art on the wall and we had a chat about it and what it could mean and he was personable and very welcoming as was our wait staff. Thankyou to everyone for making us feel special and I can't recommend you highly enough. Well done and I hope your Manager /Owners recognise what a wonderful team of people they have and value you all. read more
