Excellent wine list, well chosen and not too marked up. Good selection by the glass. They have a selection of different steaks, specified by cut, age and origin. My husband had the rump special (with mushrooms and hazelnuts) and I had the scotch fillet. We ordered medium rare. The steaks were offered with a choice of sauce and a condiment... More

I can't believe we hadn't been to the Battery Point Steak House earlier!! The staff were lovely and welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. The menu is great, and we were pleasantly surprised by the prices of the steak - we were served a lovely complimentary sour dough bread with butter while we waited for our starters.... More

First time to this resturant. Its very good. The steak excellent. However a bit too large. There are several sizes of steak to choose from, but the smallest one still too big. It was cooked to perfection though with lots of flavour. More

Have eaten here twice now and had an excellent meal both times. The menu is narrow (as the name suggests) but service, steaks, side dishes and the wine selection were all excellent. I will definitely be a regular here. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food served. Very surprised to see such negative reviews of this restaurant on... More

This venue is not a complete failure however it's not kicking many goals given it;s recent past a a popular and sucessful fine dining venue. The service was friendly but even taking into account from staff advice that the meal will be slow to come out as the steaks are bought to room temp before cooking was still slow. I... More

After experiencing the incredible food and service at Picallily, we had very high hopes for the Battery Point Steakhouse. What a let down... I got the feeling that they don't really know what they are trying to achieve with the restaurant. Are they a fine dining experience (the prices would suggest so...~$40 for mains, $3.50 for condiments, $8 for sides,... More

Turns out the previous reviews are for the previous restaurant. While everyone was nice, friendly and helpful, the food was mediocre and the speed was horrendous. We had 3 people waiting on us in various capacities. The restaurant was roughly 30%-40% full when we arrived at 7:30pm. Water and drinks were pretty quick, menus took 15 minutes to arrive. Bread...

Hearing of the imminent closure of Piccalilly forced us into one last visit. I sincerely hope that the new Steak house, and more so, Ethos, live up to the history and reputation built here. We chose 10 dishes, doubling up the cheese plate so that we could try all four. Every dish was delightful, form the artistic prep of the... More

This restaurant is magnificent. For those foodies who want to enjoy the best Hobart has to offer get yourself down to Battery Point fast. The chef and partner will be changing their approach in mid - Feb 2011 to a steak house where Piccalilly current resides. We have no doubt the food will still be magnificent but we are disappointed... More

Wot an experience! We went 4 the 4 dishes with accompanying wines. Every dish was beautifully balanced, each chew a delight. The wines perfectly complimented the dish. The mushroom dish was the best thing I've ever eaten! Don't go expecting a normal meal. Go to experience food and you'll leave happy. If Piccalily was in Europe it would have michelin... More
