Reviews Modern Australian

It’s been a while since we dined at the Kingston and it was always enjoyable. The “new” Kingston after extensive renovation delivers three excellent spaces with great attention to quality fit out that provides a relaxed character and atmosphere to each space. We had lunch in Marble & Pearl, a refined dining room with a focus on Australian beef and local seafood, all cooked on a parilla charcoal grill. Even though it was the official opening day and finishing touches were still being applied, the service from the staff was attentive and friendly, and we were well looked after by Renata. The miso glazed marrow bone was excellent, as was the panko-crumbed John Dory. The retro prawn cocktail was nice but would have benefited from more prawn meat. The 300g O’Connor’s hanger steak from the parilla had a great depth of flavour and was served with house-made green and a red chimichurri on the side The wine list is well curated to match the food on offer and caters to a range of budgets. Will be back.

We visited during a soft open. The service was fantastic, very friendly and professional. My partner had the Surf and Turf which had a HUGE lobster tail, she enjoyed it immensely. I had the eye fillet and from the first bite my mouth exploded....it was an amazing cut!!! Thanks for amazing food and service we will definitely be back very soon!!!

We dined at the new Kingston Hotel last night our local. Chris the manager is very friendly and chatted with us which was lovely. ...Love the new fit out and ambience. We sat next to the gas log fire...Perfect on a cold winters evening. We ordered the Fish pie and spaghetti beef ragu were both delicious. Looking forward to another lovely relaxed evening at the newly renovated Kingston Hotel...
