Is yet another visit to the iconic Revolving Restaurant in Hobart!
An interior refit, some new lighting, colors, curtains has improved the ambiance, well done it was needed!
The night was simply perfect, from the valet parking to start and finish due to our booking, to the impeccably coordinated floor service and food that was perfect in every way.
All in all a very polished experience, quite reasonably priced at $150 a head for three courses including drinks.
If you haven’t been, make the efforts because apart from the mountain, they are the very best views in Tassie whilst consuming food and beverages.
A good experience
The distance from Battery Point where we were staying was a $8 Uber trip which surprised me. Casinos are not my favourite places but I had heard about this place and wanted to try it out and checkout the views.
It is a fine dining restaurant and the service did it justice. We chose the set price menu with three courses and the food was very tasty and well presented plus the complimentary appetizer was appreciated not forgetting the surprise chocolates with a birthday wish.
With a visit and the Birdcage Bar downstairs does a good cocktail prior
Initially, I was a little skeptical. Revolving restaurants are usually a little thick on the view and thin on quality... and even the best Australian casino restaurants have an element of tackiness to them. But my fears were quickly squashed.
The food was excellent, prepared perfectly. I was there with my wife and 4 year old, and my parents, who were visiting from Canada. Everyone loved their meals. I had duck, and others had lamb and chicken. Everyone's was cooked perfectly, and came with well prepared, interesting and unique sides, obviously making use of local Tasmanian products. They also made our son feel very welcome, with a kids menu that didn't just pander with the usual, but gave kid friendly, professionally prepared, healthy dishes.
Beyond this, the I really commend the wait staff, a mix of older, professional fine dining servers, mixed with younger staff who have definitely picked up those skills that only can be learned from mentoring. Although we did not order any of the table-side prepared meals, our neighbouring table did, and the preparation (both by the elder and junior staff) was outstanding to watch.
The only thing to hold against the Point was the chairs. They are aesthetically out of place, the only reminder that we were in a casino, although they were functionally perfect, enabling us to look around and enjoy the amazing scenery. Boo hoo for me...
We will definitely return!
