Yes its only a pub meal at an old established north Hobart pub, but the prices do not reflect this and that is why I give it such a harsh judgement. When you pay a lot for a meal you truly expect some quality in return, in this case we did not. The dining room is large, a little on the cold side, but modern and clean.Appearance wise the place rates well, the menu is quiet good with a variety of meat, chicken and seafood dishes available. Also a children's menu.
Pricing is that of a more upper class restaurant, with meals being well above the usual pub fare price. My fisherman's basket was $28 and contained two very tasteless overcooked pieces of frozen pre battered fish, the prawns, scallops and calamari were however reasonable, but obviously pre crumbed frozen pieces. My husbands porterhouse steak at $26 was a terrible cut with over an inch of thick fat on one side and not alot of meat on the other. The meat supplier should hang his head in shame, I would not buy this piece of meat nor would I expect anyone to want to eat it. The salads were more or less the bowl of lettuce with a bit of tomato on top.
Specials were available on the day but $33 for a T bone seems a bit dear to me. All meals were well over the $20 mark. Entrees pretty much fried up frozen stuff that you would have on a Friday night in front of the footy. Desserts all around $9 which to me seems alot for a bit of cake and cream. To be honest the food was boring, the venue lacked any atmosphere and it was over priced. The giant beef schnitzel would probably interest a few blokes, but for anyone looking for a tasty dish with a bit of pizazz for the price, you wont find it here.
Not recommended at all, if your looking for a quick pub meal you'll get it but its majorly overpriced. 2 out of 5 for this one.
