Restaurant was recommended by a Hobart local. I order medium to well done "surf and turf" the meat cut being rump steak from the grill - the meat arrived over done, very difficult to cut with a stake knife and inedible. I advised the (excellent) waitress and she knew that I had been given what really was a burnt and... More

The Astor Grill is back... after a couple of years in the wilderness a recent change of owners has seen the standard of food and service return to (if not surpass) the experience of old. The decor and old world charm of this restaurant is hard to beat for an intimate dinner for two, get together with friends or even... More

The price is great, for fine dining. The staff working there, was amazing. I highly recommend the Astor steak (stuffed with Tasmanian blue cheese), the oysters, the octopus salad, and the wine. I loved it there and will definitely go back. More

Some of the best food I have had in Hobart to date. Classical food with a contemporary tweak. The service was attentive and un intruding. The chef obviously has his game on as we could not fault a single thing that we ate. Great to see this old favorite back on the scene. Well done. More

a booking for about 15 people in a private room for the birthday of my 70 year of grandmother. While i will admit the two waitresses that conducted our service were polite, well groomed and efficient the food from the kitchen was slow and disappointing. After waiting over an hour and half to receive entrees my pork belly came out... More

Never waited so long for a meal as I waited here. Embarrassing for a place with such a great reputation. Got there at 7 and had to bolt my main meal down at 9.45 pm so I could relieve the babysitter at 10pm. Poor thing was late for her party - had NO IDEA it would be such a huge... More

We hadn't been to the Astor Grill for a while but on this occasion we could not have been more satisfied. The relatively new owners have respected the tradition of the restaurant whilst providing a stylish a la carte menu, contemporary wine list and very professional service. Our party chose from the luncheon set menu for $33 per person. Good... More

Went there with a large group of about 50. Food was very good, but they clearly cannot cope with the numbers, as each table was treated as if it were a seperate booking - so quite a gap between tables being served. Comment on service was due to lack of attention re drinks, rather than the food service. I would... More
