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.

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.

Right away we were served with warm fluffy rye bread with horseradish butter. We got the angel hair pasta with uni (couldn't find much of an uni flavor because it was masked by the sourness of the lemon but the angel hair pasta was nice and al dente, a tad too oily but I couldn't stop eating it and the hubby loved the contrast that the brioche crumbs brought), the saffron tortellini (exceptional and refreshing goat curd and lemon filling, perfectly al dente also..didn't care for the green sauce and maybe a tad too oily with butter. I am sad however that it only comes with 4 pieces) , the pan roasted white fish (crispy skin could be crispier, the nut mixture and saffron mussels are phenomenal and the squid ink polenta is good does have a lot of squid ink flavor and was unfortunately kinda sitting in a puddle of butter like the other dishes) and fried spatzle with lemon herb (not too heavy with the lemon herb). For dessert we got the poached pear, roasted fig and blue cheese ice cream (oddly good ice cream - tastes like cheese! And I love the pear flavor!) Service wise, our server knew his stuff. Overall a great dinner and so glad we came here! If I had to recommend one restaurant in Launceston, this is it!
