We stumbled upon Flathead wandering the street whilst staying around the corner at the Islington hotel. Flathead is a small joint but not cramped in anyway at all. The place had a great feel and seemed to be pretty much full of locals. The menu was based around the fresh seafood available that day, with standards such as fish and... More

I have been to this restaurant a few times to dine in and also to take away. The food is always fresh and well presented. The take away is possibly slightly more expensive that its competitors, however the quality of the food helps alleviate the hip pocket pain. More

I'd heard constant good reports about Flathead since its opening about 6 years ago but never seemed to get there. In Hobart word of mouth has a lot of currency. The reports were accurate. This is a simply superb restaurant with some of the most flavoursome fish I have ever had - light years in front of Doyles in Watsons... More

We have been to Flathead twice before - generally pleased - with the Stripey Trumpeter always a standout. Last night (a Valentine's Day treat for my lady love) things were a little bit disappointing. A half dozen crumbed banana prawns turned out to be only 5! The prawn chilli kebab, was around 5 or 6 (!) shrimp size prawnettes on... More

Without a doubt the best fish restaurant in Hobart for value and fresh fish. If a certain fish is not available, it is not served frozen. We dine there quite often and always have an enjoyable time. An added bonus is being able to take your own wine. Can be a little noisy downstairs, but if you book ahead there... More

Nothing out of the ordinary as far as the food goes. Good staff & service but the food is overpriced. Would not go back as there are better places in Hobart. More
