Enjoyed the most amazing meal last night! We were a large table of 12 and every single person was so impressed with the food, service, setting and staff. The food was incredible, even the kids meals were nothing we’ve ever seen before - a work of art with vegetables, colourful fruit, edible flowers and the usual yummy crunchy chips and fish. There was not one thing you could fault in this place. Food was prompt and delicious, service attentive and really friendly and the setting beautiful and relaxing. You can’t beat the view looking out at the bay watching the sun set with a glass of wine! Thank you so much to everyone at Xanders for such a wonderful night out for our family. I don’t usually write reviews but really had to after last night because our experience was so positive. Thank you!

Nestled quietly but confidently on Tasmania’s north western shores, the town of Stanley has got to be one of the most spectacular towns in Australia: together with its towering headland, The Nut, the 360 degree ocean views radiating from the towns main street provide a breathtaking backdrop to its many delightful shops and restaurants, the very best of which must be Xander’s Restaurant. Showcasing a delightful offering of only locally sourced proteins and vegetables, including lamb, beef and seafood, the menu offers an array of carefully crafted compilations that made it difficult to choose. Having finally made our choices we were delighted by the near perfection served to us. My husband ordered the rack of lamb, which due to its tenderness and flavour was awarded by him the compliment of the best lamb he’d ever had. I ordered tempura crusted duck, which was probably the most excellent meal I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. We loved that we didn’t need to order generic sides to go with our meals, but that our plates were thoughtfully composed by the chef so that every element on the plate contributed to achieving the culinary vision we enjoyed so much. The venue was gorgeous - ocean views, quiet dining and tasteful furnishings. An added bonus was being farewelled by the owner who indulged us in learning the history of the restaurant, his commitment to it and his appreciation for the chef whom he described as ‘an artist’. We couldn’t agree more. Stanley, you have captured our hearts, and it was Xanders that closed the deal.
