There is no better way to describe this food than an absolutely blissful pampering of the taste buds.
I went here for lunch with my husband on our last day in Tasmania, and came in expecting an expensive menu and small portion sizes which are often synonymous with fine dining. I was thrilled to see a menu with prices that are on par, if not cheaper than what I could find in Hobart at any other nice restaurant for dinner.
Then I started to think that perhaps the price of the meals reflected on the quantity, however my negativity was proved wrong yet again when we were presented with amazingly plated and quite substantial meals.
We both ordered the scotch fillet, and were told that due to the cooking process, it would be an approx wait of 30 minutes. This was fine for us as we ate the delicious house made bread and fresh churned butter.
When the scotch came out I was so thrilled. It didn't look like any scotch fillet I had ever seen. This cut was actually more like an enormous eye fillet, sitting on a bed of the creamiest and most delicate mashed potatoes I have ever had, and served with a generous, but not drowning quantity of red wine jus. Gorgeous to stare at, but to take was so lovely that we had to both contain ourselves and stop from saying "oh my god", several times.
It was an outstanding meal, and the thought of the steak makes me want to go back there right now.
We have an unwritten rule that when we are at nice restaurants we try the dessert too.
I had the deconstructed Tiramisu and my husband had the Rhubarb dessert. I was too busy in food heaven eating my yummy dessert to stop and try his, and by the time I finished mine, I just wanted to keep the lovely flavours in my mouth so I didn't even try his.
Bottom line. If you love food, and you love and appreciate good quality and service; do yourself a big favour and have at least one meal at this amazing restaurant. It really did go above and beyond for us foodies.
