Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Dining while viewing the superb coastline at Bicheno...hard to beat. The restaurant hosts took us in without a booking and we enjoyed the food, wine and experience.

From the exterior this little restaurant doesn’t look much but don’t be put off. The menu is interesting & imaginative, a nice change from crumbed scallops, battered fish etc. Whilst it was dark when we were there, the view in daylight would be amazing. My...husband had mussels in a tomato & coconut milk sauce with chilli, delicious & perfectly cooked. I had Tasmanian salmon cooked in a soy & garlic sauce on a bed of Asian greens with rice, a delicious combination of flavours & perfectly cooked fish. The service was friendly & efficient, not intrusive. Highly recommended.More

Got a table at short notice, so we didn't expect to get one overlooking the water, but we still had a reasonable view as the restaurant is not large by any means. The food was excellent. As my wife ordered a seafood meal (which she...really enjoyed), I opted for a dish containing a grilled chicken breast. It was so beautifully moist (unlike anything I've ever cooked) I asked to speak to the chef after we'd eaten. He was only too happy to tell me his 'secret' and I look forward to trying it for myself. A great dining-out experience.More

A surprise contact by a relative we hadn’t seen for several years, who happened to be travelling in the same area,so arrangements were made to meet for dinner at this restaurant. The only issue we nearly had was that my cousins wife brought in her...trainee guide dog and initially we thought there could be an issue. All turned out ok but as they said they would like to be forewarned, but when we made the booking we weren’t aware of the situation. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, the location is amazing no matter where you sit you have a view. The ambience of the restaurant is pleasing and the staff were certainly attentive without being overly so.More

We had some great dinners during our two weeks in Tasmania but this was the stand out . This was absolutely wonderful food . Sea food is hardto do really well and the team here are a really class act . The scallops in the...half shell were sensational . The main course of Blue Eye was really delicious and cooked to absolute perfection . The service was warm and friendly and the view is WOW . A full moon came up which added to the wonderful vista . Do not be fooled by the humble exterior of this restaurant . In side it is all class. highly recommended . Sea food is expensive but eating superbly cooked sea food is really a wonderful experience and well worth it .More

We ate twice in this wonderful restaurant during our 3 nights stay in Bicheno. Both times were fabulous. We have eaten salmon and whitefish and both were extraordinary. The restaurant is not cheap but the price is worthy of the food.

Truly superb food with a good range of Tasmania wines on offer. The owners are clearly at work in the restaurant because the service is spot on but also friendly and humorous. There are non seafood options and vegan dishes available on request but if...you love seafood then tere are several days worth of beautiful options to choose from. A must, definitely in Bicheno, certainly on the east coast and probably Tasmania.More

We had dinner and enjoyed it so much we returned the following evening. It was new years and we did not have a booking but they were able to fit us in. Team is so friendly ( I think husband and wife) and the husband...is the funniest man in Tazzie. We all had different things over the two nights and all raved about everything we ate.. Make sure you pop in when in the area.More

If you are not eating at the restaurant 15 minutes would be more than enough to see everything on display.
