Review Mudbar Restaurant - Launceston

Alex Mansfield
Lovely experience. Staff were very friendly and approachable. Food was delicious, and chefs were very accommodating to dietary requirements. Good serving sizes and well-made drinks. Nice range of options across the menu. Definitely worth a visit when in Launceston!

This was a bit hit and miss. The oysters were fantastic! The rest of the menu seemed to be classic pub dishes with an Asian influence/twist which didn't really hit the mark, with flavour combinations falling a bit flat. Service was very good.

We are visiting from Melbourne for the weekend and hoping to try some of the best Launceston has to offer. Mudbar came highly recommended by local friends and also our accommodation. Unfortunately it fell short and we cannot recommend it. In essence we found it overly priced for the small serving sizes. The menu on their website did not match the one in the restaurant and the mocktail which I asked for to be citrus based tasted like pineapple juice mixed with some cordial. The pork belly entree were just two pieces of fatty belly served with too much sauce and no serving spoon. We ordered their famous lamb for the main but were given a different lamb dish in their entree size (without our knowledge) even then that plate looked sad with the thinnest slices of lamb I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. The choy sum (a side) were served with some scourer fluff and had to be sent back. The waitress did bring us a fresh plate but we were surprised that the courtesy of taking this item off the bill was never offered which left a bad impression for what is supposedly a fine dining restaurant. We paid over $140 for one cocktail, one mocktail, a bottle of sparkling water, half a dozen oysters, two entrees & two sides. For that sort of money you should not be leaving a restaurant hungry and disappointed.

Excellent service! We were greeted at the door by a super friendly guy who took us to a table. Food was good- we both had tempura. Carrots were delicious! Great location. Was nice to go for a walk around Southport after eating. Cool atmosphere at the Mudbar.

It's not often I visit a restaunt everything is perfect. The location is perfect for a beautiful evening meal and drinks. The lovely waitress who served us was fast on her feet, knew the specials by heart and was extremely professional and friendly. The food was fast and delicious with a heavy Asain inspiration to many of their dishes, the pork belly starter was tender, juicy and flavourful so the soy duck main dish, the overall presentation of every dish was beautiful and each of my companions loved their food. Finally they have a large, well stocked bar with many cocktails and a large range of wines and other beverages. I would honestly fly from my home in Queensland all the way to Launceston just to eat here again.

The food was good. Wonton chips are great. The salmon Ceviche is a bit of a let down
Sharon RATCLIFFE
Just a quick lunch at bar rather than restaurant. Food was beautiful, prices were reasonable and drinks were the good ones 😋. The staff were delightful
Georgia Longden
Really like this place! Live music, great atmosphere and a good front bar menu! Great place to relax and unwind on a Sunday afternoon.

We had a lovely evening at Mud Bar. The Vietnamese inspired dressing on the oysters was amazing and the highlight of the evening. Every dish was tasty and well presented. The wine list, ambiance and service was also good. Highly recommend when visiting Launceston.

Beautiful desserts and drinks!!

This is a nice restaurant with water views and okay food. The oyster platter was really good to sample a range of dressings to accompany the fresh oysters. For mains, I liked the seared salmon which was nicely cooked and went nicely with the ponzu/red curry. Service was good.

My partner and I visited this restaurant with a group of friends whilst visiting Launceston. The service was impeccable - the staff are so friendly and attentive! The food was also delicious, we all loved each course we had. We also had a variety of drinks which were all enjoyed! We come from all over Australia and agreed if we are back in town this is a must visit! Absolutely loved the atmosphere and staff.

It is a casual dining restaurant with price $$$. So I was expecting a good service. I sat outside and there is no one attending the restaurant, it was really hard to order. Ordered the ponzu oysters it was okay. The tasting platter is not bad but can be better. Ordered Salmon as a main with ramen and salad on it. The salmon was not properly cooked, the inside was still raw. In conclusion it doesnt worth the money IMO.

Fine, but not great. I would say 8/10 for environment, loses points for feeling a little 'hotel' bar in places. But generally a nice fit out, noisey, but you can still speak, crockery / cutlery / glassware all good.   5/10 for Service - very hit and miss, ours started strongly, but ended by us having to pro-actively attempt to flag down disinterested wait staff with mixed results. Plates left on table for a long time, and ended up having to go up to the counter to request the bill.  I was also disappointed in the staff knowledge of the produce, when asking about the details of / sourcing of / sustainability of the fish of the day, they didn't know. I had to resort to  google and the Australian Sustainable Seafood guide to learn more about what the fish was myself. I expect at this type of establishment, that the staff have a strong knowledge of the produce / sourcing aspects of the menu.   I was also disappointed that after asking if there was any vegetarians (no), it meant that we got a menu with no vegetable main options. I'm not vegetarian, but I'm not anti-vegetable!  I will often chose a vegetarian dish if it takes my fancy and would like to at least know what the options are. Having a pure veg menu is good, but to go further and exclude these options from the non-veg menu seems very odd and somewhat outdated. Then to the actual food. 6/10.  Menu sounded great, lot's of interesting and creative options, but each dish was underwhelming in execution. Whilst well presented, you only eat so much with your eyes, it must be followed with good flavours. Everyone in our (quite foodie) group reported 'good' or 'fine' but not 'great'. I think for a higher-end place, you need at least one or two 'this is amazing' dishes within the experience.  Our party didn't have any of those moments here. The jury for me is out really - I might go back to see if we got a bad night on day, but to be honest I have nothing specifically drawing me back.

I’m always puzzled how to rate a place that has good food but is so overpriced it leaves a bitter taste. Notice I said good, not great..... it’s not rocket science to put 6 natural oysters on a plate. Ceviche was excellent although the large gelled lemongrass coconut block on the side was perplexing and unwarranted. The mussels were excellent but the spicy chilli coconut sticky rice dropped into the soup, was a bit too spicy and got lost in the rich soup. The duck was well cooked and sliced but the accompanying eggplant stir fry was bland and the eggplant firm and a little undercooked for my taste. At $60 for 2 course I expect way more from the food. The place is so dimly lit that I needed to put the phone torch on just to read the menu. Service was friendly but a bit absent toward the end.
Tommy
Amazing. The food was faultless, and the staff were spot on. Food is reasonably priced for fine dining. I travel a lot for work and dine regularly, couldn't be happier with tonight's meal. Will be back here next time I'm in town.
Does My Bomb Look Big In This
“Just keep Mudbar in the back of your mind,” my newfound Tasmanian friend advised, as we bonded at a Taste of Tasmania dinner. We were discussing my impending visit to Launceston, and whether I should dine at picturesque, nineteen-year stalwart, Stillwater, or the city's more recent newcomer, Grain of the Silos restaurant with former Sydney chef, Massimo Mele, at the helm. Reading menus as took a winding route between Hobart and Launceston, their words echoed in my head, encouraging me to change my reservation(s). Located at the Old Launceston Seaport Marina - a sixty-berth marina that was transplanted from Rushcutters Bay after being constructed as The Olympic Yachting Centre for the 2000 Summer Olympics - the restaurant sits at the base of the Peppers Seaport Hotel. While the architecture isn’t anything remarkable, the...

Food on Point<br/><br/>I came here with the family for a nice lunch celebration.<br/><br/>A lovely clean restaurant in a beautiful part of Launceston. <br/><br/>I ordered the duck main and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly and well balanced flavours.<br/><br/>The service was decent but was never asked for a second drink.<br/><br/>A little pricey for lunch but a good experience none the less.<br/><br/>Thanks for a nice lunch
Lau Sin Ting
What a lovely restaurant and we love their recommendations in food and wine pairing. Will definitely miss the fantastic apple upside down!!!

I was greeted at the front door by a friendly waiter who told me to see the guy in the bar about a table. The restaurant was only half full at 1pm on Sunday afternoon. Was told to wait in the bar for 5 minutes and they would ‘find’ me a table. After 5 minutes I left. Sorry maybe you were having a bad day but really I should have just been seated to start with.
Tabb
Had a lovely time there, nice on the river pier. Staff were lovely and very helpful! <br/>Oysters were very average and so were the entrees (we had Japanese sashimi) not quite worth what you’re paying. However made up for it in the mains which were spectacular!!! Altogether a lovely location and great food! Would recommend!!
GPS Joe
Mixed oyster plate ( chilli and ginger combo) was superb. Was struggling to decide between a Sauvignon blanc & an unusual Rosé to accompany the oysters, and was generously offered a taste of each to help me decide! How kind and gracious. Duck tacos on lunch menu were fresh, tasty with good flavour combos. Service was friendly and helpful, but this is Tasmania so expect a gentle pace. Slightly short-staffed during a busy lunch, but restaurants overheads and margins make this an almost universal experience in Australia.
Aaron Chew
The food was average. Had the salt and pepper squid served with a chilli jam. The chilli jam that was poured onto the top of the squid was extremely sweet and the batter on the squid was very thick and heavy. Partner had the duck tacos with asian salad, which were also very sweet.<br/>The place is large and has a fairly good ambience next to the water.<br/>The service was excellent.

Service was fantastic and the waiters were very nice, however, this hardly made up for the fact that the food was dreadful (I mean so bad that we had to go to maccas afterwards). We got the set menu for 2 which was full of Asian fusion dishes. This turned out to be an Asian confusion from the chef who seemed to know nothing about how to cook Asian cuisine. To start off, the nigiri tasted like mush in your mouth. There was way too much rice (by the way this wasn't even sushi rice with vinegar, it was overcooked white mush). Everything else that came after that just got a whole lot worse. It was so bad that we left before the dessert (thankfully the waiters were kind enough to offer a $10 discount for not having dessert taking our bill down to $132.) This is absolutely a rip off and definitely one of the worst meals we've had in Tasmania. I wouldn't even eat the food if I got paid to do so.<br/><br/>

Waitstaff needs a little training especially with the degustation menu and matching wines. Waitress that served us literally said.. here is your menu with everything in it. Or you can have the tasting menu and instead of picking one thing from the menu you can try everything in the kitchen. Waitstaff had no uniform. It was a Sunday night at 8pm with 5 staff on the floor. Wasn't really busy but yet they seemed confused. Not sure if they had a section each. <br/>Food was pretty average. <br/>Considering the price and location of the restaurant the waitstaff and food did not match the environment. Would not go back.
Marlin
One of those really great experiences. A restaurant bu the water and some amazingly fresh oysters. One of those restaurants that are perfect for a special occasion.
Chris
Warm welcome. Great staff. Our waitress Hana was an absolute star. <br/>My salmon loin dish seemed a bit confused with the kimchi, aubergine tapenade & mango mint salsa. <br/>Salmon was perfectly cooked. Great dish if you enjoy the kick from the kimchi. <br/>Husbands meal made for a very happy diner! Flathead with ricotta gnocchi was a brilliant combination of flavours. <br/>Amazing wine & drinks list. Great coffee. <br/>
Garry Robinson
A great introduction to Tasmanian fine cuisine. So much local produce available from salty fresh Barilla Bay oysters to kingfish sashimi. 90 degree Wagyu beef was sensational. Lamb shoulder melted in the mouth and a side order of veg not required. Attentive staff and a friendly atmosphere added to the experience. Well recommended. I'll have to come back for lunch to see the view.

My colleague recommended this waterfront restaurant at Launceston and he raved about how good their oysters are!<br/>As my partner is not a oyster fan, we only ordered half a dozen of Mirin tempura battered oysters to share as entree. <br/>The oysters were so fresh and delicious, a clear winner that night as even my partner enjoyed it! For main, we ordered the duckling and pork loin. Wait staff were very attentive and friendly throughout the night, keep filling up our water and asked for feedback on the food. To finish the night, we ordered the butternut pumpkin/vanilla bean brulee with sticky pear shaved Lindt to share. Whilst food presentation is good and portion is quite good, the Asian inspired menu didn't quite hit the mark for me in terms of flavours.The duck is too salty and the pork is lacking in flavours. Dessert is a bit too sweet. They need to work on balancing the Asian flavours on their menu.

I came here for drinks in the afternoon - really nice place next to the water. Quiet and peaceful. I stayed for an early dinner. As the kitchen wouldn't start serving dinner until 6pm, and it was 5:40pm, I ordered food off the bar menu. Many of the dishes are similar to the dinner and lunch menu.<br/><br/>Highlights:<br/><br/>Oysters with seaweed and ginger - just awesome. Get a dozen and share, and you might be tempted to order another dozen. The sweet seaweed and tangy ginger complement the slight saltiness of the Barilla Bay oysters.<br/><br/>Lamb ribs with miso - nicely grilled, with a gentle miso flavour. They were a little fatty, hence why lamb ribs are not as popular as pork or beef ribs. The wasabi asian slaw served with it was also quite special.<br/><br/>Sashimi trio - of trevalla fish, beef, and something else, was just divine! So fresh and juicy.<br/><br/>Food here isn't cheap, but the quality is high and the asian-fusion invention is amazing. Lunch mains look good value at $20 to $30, whilst dinner mains are $30 to $50. Different menus for each.

Quite a nice restaurant at the water front of Launceston. We happened to come as a Chinese one just closed. All the dish we ordered was decently presented and tasting well. The cheese plate is awesome and they served very best blue cheese that I ever had!!
Showmethecheese
Came here for lunch, ordered the salt & pepper calamari and the seafood omelette with a side of fries to share.<br/>Wow! The taste explosion in our mouths from both mains was delicious. The spicy sweet chilli sauce served with the calamari was wonderfully complimented by the side salad. The fluffy omelette was filled with seafood and topped with a fresh sensational salad.<br/>A side serve if crisp fries along with a half pint if the local brew (James Boag XXX) finished shed tour meal beautifully. Highly recommend!<br/>P.S service was terrific
Casual Diner
Poor service. Terrible food. Rude staff. Expensive drinks. <br/>Avoid this one. There's many other decent places in Launceston. This isn't one of them
Gin Chng
Had wanted to dine at Black Cow, but the restaurant was full for the night. Nevertheless we had a Lovely dinner recommended by the hotel staff. The lamb dish was fantastic, meat was soft and flavourful. Beef was fantastic and the staff were friendly too.
Chris Kilpatrick
Popped into Mud for a light lunch on the spur of the moment, had no knowledge of the venue.<br/><br/>Really impressed, great venue, good surrounds, exceptional service from Peter very professional!<br/><br/>Food was very good, duck was exceptional, seafood tasting plate also very good, gal ours were Asian inspired and soooo tasty!<br/><br/>Wine list was solid but expensive. A Joesph Chromy Sav was $56.<br/><br/>But all over I would definitely recommend Mud!!<br/><br/>Well done to all concern.
Food Affair
We went there for oysters and ended up ordering 3 dozens To share between 2 people! Loved the different flavours and the service was good! We will definitely be back!

We had a group of 4, arrived early and had some drinks in the bar. Had some nice beers and a few cocktails. Went to our booking at 8pm and everything from there was fantastic. So many amazing dishes from the lamb ribs, rabbit gyoza with mushrooms and twice cooked chicken. Every dish we had was top notch. Had a chat to the bar guy who was nice and our waiter was exceptional recommending dishes and drinks. The night was not cheap but was definitely worth it and would recommend Mudbar to anyone visiting Tasmania.
LaunnieFoodLover
Mud has a beautiful location in the seaport, the restaurant is trendy , and while full you can still talk to your friends without having to shout. <br/>We had a variety of different meals , and the waiter / waitresses were helpful and happy to answer our questions about the foods patiently. The food was balanced and delicious. When one of our table accidentally spilled their meal the staff were more than helpful and replaced it. <br/>My only negative is that for the price $38+ for a main the meals are small. But if that is something you can afford it leaves room to enjoy entree & dessert ! <br/>I had the flathead tail & tapioca pudding :)

I imagine this restaurants name came about by yhe muddy river / marina it overlooks. Excellent decor and staff quite effecient. Drinks expensive but at this level of fit out and location expected. My entree was very over rated, 6 very thin slices of sashimi, no dipping sauce, 2 oysters and a small bowl of 2 minute noodles with soy flavour. Most disappointing was the main. Supposed to be crisp pork belly. The fat wasn't rendered which made it almost inedible. Supposed to be wrapped in lettuce leaf but the one leaf had been cut into 3 parts making this action impossible. A fairly small ordinary salad and rice accompanied the meal. A very disappointing experience which i pointed out to the guy both when he took my half uneaten meal and when i paid at counter. No apologies but an acknowledgement he had mentioned it to the chef and agreed that fat on pork hadn't been rendered. Strange interaction. All that said my wife's duck tacos were excellent. Lucky she shared some with me or I would have gone hungry.
Justin
Decent food, but terrible service<br/>Ordered the Lamb and a glass of wine. Lamb came out...but no wine. They had forgotten the wine order completely.<br/>Then tried to take my meal away before I was finished.<br/>Finally I was left there for 20 minutes with the dessert menu without anyone coming to take my order. Eventually I just walked out, seeing as no one was interested in taking my order
Tom
Great location, great food and exceptional service. Highly recommended is expensive but was too be expected. The chocolate parfait was amazing
Jo Barry
AVOID!!!!! Worst experience! Terrible staff that have no idea how to match the prices they're charging! Do yourself a favor and go 5 minutes down the road to hallams where the food is top notch, service excellent, and staff properly trained.
SarahG
Fantastic great service, food and wine. Visiting from Melbourne, and we came across Mud bar, from the minuet we walked in we felt welcome in the warm atmosphere. <br/>The staff where great very efficient and friendly. <br/>The food was great and some of the best we have had loved it that it was local Tasmanian produce. <br/>We will be back a++
Tashfood
Terrible. Don't waste your money here!!!. Us foodies visiting from Melbourne were excited to "fine" dine at Mud last night, even booking in advance! Every dish we ordered was absolutely flavourless, except for the duckling, which is drowned in a sickly sweet sauce. I expected Chin Chin or Longrain quality for the through the roof pricing here!!! Best part of the meals was the garnishing salads on the entrees (don't order the rubbery squid dumplings!). We left wishing we ordered takeaway pizza in the hotel :( lovely staff though. Let's see what Hobart has in stall for us...
Tessalisa
Overrated. We were recommended Mud bar by several people during our stay in Launceston but were extremely disappointed with our dining experience. The food was incredibly overpriced for the quality you received and several of the dishes were quite flavourless and didn't seem fresh eg. Tuna sashimi and oysters. Wouldn't recommend to people or return, it's overhyped.
Ravi Sandhu
Great meal, very highly recommended. Had the charcuterie entree, duck, steak and mushrooms. All exemplary. Very busy but attentive waiters.<br/><br/>Definitely would return.
Chloe Pippy Callesen
I was overcome with sadness when I ate my last mouthful of the prawn and salmon fritters with the delicious salad- yum!!! The mains were equally as good. The perfect way to end our honeymoon.

Didn't even get a chance. First night of our Honeymoon and thought we'd give Mud Bar a go.. it's a Thursday night, so didn't think we needed to book. Unfortunately we were wrong and got turned away without a second thought. .they had a large booking yet to arrive? An hour later and looks like they're still yet to arrive.. Ahh well lucky for us the strip has other accommodating restaurants!<br/><br/><br/>-----06 Nov, 2014-----<br/><br/>Didn't even get a chance.

Great atmosphere and location, have spent a few long afternoons here, however was disappointed with yesterday's visit, we ordered the Mud Fries with garlic aioli, a bowl of fried skin on potatoes came out, about the size of the palm of your hand so probably at best 2 medium sized potatoes , which weren't cooked that well, and which cost $8.50. Basically a rip off. Wedges / fries anywhere else for the same price gets you a decent amount for two, you would need 3 of these in comparison... Also felt that $20 for 6 oysters is overpriced in anyone's language....
K.smith18
One word - delicious.. Amazing food, eat here every time I visit Launceston. So tasty and complex. Love it and highly recommend.
Jane H
Lovely, lovely, lovely ... Great atmosphere, stylish decor, exceptionally good service and great food ... What's not to like on a Monday evening with friend visiting from Melbourne! Thanks all.
Emma
Awfully overpriced and tiny meals, and a horrible vegetarian menu! Our vegetarian meals were dreadful. Would not recommend this place to ANYONE. The best thing about it was the Tasmanian beer on tap, but still not enough to get me back there
Cous Cous
We thought about leaving at one stage 25 mins after sitting with no drinks or menu. I asked if we could have menus and was told that other tables were using them. I was also told that our booking was at 730 not 8. We arrived at 730 but sat in the bar for half an hour as a wedding was on and things were a little hectic. It was like we were being punished for being late? Passive aggressive? Finally we flagged a waitress down and ordered. The food was outstanding. Would never go back the service continued with loads of attitude but thank goodness the chefs knew what they were doing.
Feed Me Seymour
Our experience at Mud was tainted by the owner who was rude to us on a number of occasions in a passive aggressive way. This was hard to shake but the other staff and food made up for her unprofessionalism. The dishes are innovative and tasty. Try the oysters with nam jin sauce and spinach with lemon curd. Some small gripes - our duck was overlooked and pork belly far from the best we've had. I'd support the chef and staff here - not the owner.
Evie
Just perfect. Do yourself a huge favour and dine here especially if you are visiting Launceston. Superb food, wine, beer, service and everything!! Could not fault a thing! This kind of experience is heart warming. And I had the best mocktail ever - ginger ale, ice, lime, mint and sugar syrup. The kind bar person even gave me the recipe on a handwritten note. An exceptional couple of hours. :-)
Michael Campbell
Excellent food. Service was great - Carrie is a champion! The food style was exceptionally unique - well done to the chefs. Pinot Gris was top notch and cleansing Saison finished the night on a high note in a lounge in the bar area. Well done guys! Janet & Michael

Delicous Slow Cooled Lamb. Worth the reservation.

Booked a very last minute table booking which they were very accommodating. Service was excellent, friendly and genuine!! Food was amazing!! Def a go!

Ordered the marinara pasta. Was served off mussels. Dish was free but
FudeDude
Impressive! Went here last night and was amazed at the standard of food. Try the slow roasted lamb ribs and the Italian meatballs for entree. To die for. Location is brilliant (even better if you're staying at Peppers Seaport)! Mains and deserts were great too. Try the smashed meringue with berries and cream. Great wine and beer list. Try the Angry Man Pale Ale or the Wicked Elf Pale Ale! And the coffee is brilliant - try the Piccolo Latte! This place is highly recommended. Will definitely come back again. The service was generally ok too. Try it, we think you'll love it!
Master Foodie
Classy restaurant overlooking the water. The food was tasty and servings were adequate. Service was of a high standard. Definitely one of the higher standard eateries in Launceston.
Lucas Johnson
Good creamy coffee after a Sunday session at the pub. Would have had the desserts as I know they're good but was too full. Can't wait to be back.
Particular
Why can't others be as good?. Setting pleasant bright and well lit, music not intrusive, service personal, oysters to kill for, pork belly done to a T, blue grenadier faultless, wine list medium sized but exciting. I wish I lived in Launceston.

The Mud Restaurant & Bar is located on the best site on the wharf at The popular Seaport Marina. The building is purpose built, ultra modern, the designer has created a great flow from bar, casual, private, to group dining, and lounge area's to relax, the flow continues through to a very large covered Al fresco area. The decor, ultra modern, very trendy, with the outstanding feature being, replica Eames chairs in bright orange, oh so comfortable. The architect has enabled the view of the Tamar, wharf, assorted boats, distant hills to be viewed from all points inside and out. From an excellent menu plus specials, our entree's were, Pressed lamb, gribiche sauce, grilled ciabatta. Unusual, delicate, and surprisingly tasty; Blue eye fish cakes, with fennel and aolia, rocket and lemon. Delicate and flavorsome. Mains: Pan fried gnocchi, braised lamb, tomato, olives, Parmesan. Quite hot, spicy and appetizing. One of their most popular dishes; From the specials board, Grilled lamb rump 200 gram, fresh from Landfall, a local farm. with crisp roast potatoes, steamed green beans and a ratatouille. fabulous dish, prepared to perfection, and of a generous proportion. We tasted the Smolt Pinot Noir, a very good Pinot. Also a New-Zealand Otago Jacks Skip Sauvignon Blanc. Excellent. The service was professional and friendly. This may not be fine dining, but certainly upmarket casual at it's best. Impressive.
Richo
Food great, service left a bit to be desired. It may have just been a one off, but the some of the bar staff especially were unfriendly, and that's probably being nice. This place isn't cheap, so I would expect much better service than I did.
Love2eat
Excellent food!. Mud's food is really delicious. A combination of fresh ingredients and superb cooking. I definitely look forward to going back whenever I am in Launceston.
Crystal Fischer
Great lunch by the water. Mud is one of a few options at Launceston's Seaport precinct overlooking the water. It proved to be a great lunch spot during our weekend getaway. My mussel soup with saffron and tomato was tasty and fresh. Husband had crunchy fish and chips. Their rice custard with sticky date caramel was creamy and decadent. Friendly service.
Peter Bullock
Hotel restaurants often disappoint. Not this one though. The menu is imaginative and food is fantastic. The staff are attentive and friendly. Overall a great experience for business or pleasure. This is my fourth such experience here and will definately recommend.
Mike
A big surprise. First impressions were average but that changed when the food arrived. My seafood linguine was superb with plenty of seafood and the semifreddo was also great.<br/><br/>I couldn't fault the service either. I'll be back next time I visit Launceston.
Adran
Good coffee & quality food
Dfv
Enjoyed the food and thought the service was very solid. But what was with all the music pumping through the restaurant part of the facility?

Had an awesome duck risotto for mains and the entrees were fantastic too, Grilled zucchini and labna salad and a salumi plate with home made pickled veg and grilled ciabatta. 8/10
