"Get front-row seats to Hobart’s majestic waterfront at this sophisticated restaurant with an Asian-inspired menu. The food is fresh and flavorsome, made with seasonal herbs and vegetables, locally caught seafood, and small-farm meat and dairy. Dishes like crispy quail with lime and pepperberry or wood-ear-and-shiitake dumplings are sure to delight."

What an incredible dining experience. My partner and I were led here by the great reviews and were not disappointed. I had the pescatarian menu and my partner had the standard menu. While all the dishes were fantastic the absolute standouts was the fish followed by the mushroom and seasonal greens and the pork and seasonal greens. I don’t even know where to begin with dessert as it was a total standout. It was without question one of the best I’ve had recently. We really appreciated the service of Riley and the other staff that made us feel looked after. Aloft was the perfect choice for my birthday. Thanks again and highly recommend.

Aloft is a perfect restaurant, the space is inviting and has sweeping views of the water. I was lucky enough to sit at the bar so I could watch the chefs work and speak to them. The service was so wonderful, Riley is amazing and took such incredible care of me! The food was ::chef’s kiss::, no notes. Each dish is unique, flavorful, and works well on its own and in the context of the meal. The pacing was great, not too quick, not too slow. Good beverage program. Incredible value for a stunning meal. I can’t overstate how much I loved this meal, my favorite I had while visiting Australia. This is fine dining, but in a more friendly, warm environment- not stuffy at all. It’s clear every single person there loves what they do and are deeply passionate it. I also got to meet the owner, it’s a joy to watch him and his other chefs cook. This is such a special place- you HAVE to go when you’re in Hobart.

Incredible culinary experience. Found on a blog of best places to eat in Hobart and it did not disappoint. We were a little early and our table wasn't ready so we sat at the welcome area chairs which were super comfy and had a cocktail while we waited. Our table was beautiful, tucked in the corner with a view over the water. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and so comfortable to be around. Worth noting it's a different service experience where the servers will perch next to you or crouch down alongside the table. Something I really enjoyed as it takes the edge off what could easily be a pretentious experience. The food was perfect, such a range of local produce, the drinks pairing is very well priced and offered at a full or half glass price. They catered for our dietary requirements excellently. Would definitely recommend a visit

Amazing experience! First time in Hobart and we looking to book the dining tables but due to the lateness of us booking we couldn't get any seats in the dining room but could only get seats at the bar. It was an open kitchen and high bar stools. Upon entering we were greeted by the maitre d and taken to our bar seats. We were greeted by the chef's behind the bar and they were incredibly friendly. Chef Uni and head chef Cam. The food was incredible and our waiter Riley was knowledgeable and so friendly! I loved every dish, it was full of flavour on each bite. My favorite dish was the wallaby on betel leaf, that was a pleasant surprise. Towards the end executive chef Christian Ryan presented our dish and he was incredibly friendly and hospitable. It was a great experience and honestly really glad we ended up sitting at the bar as it was incredibly interactive and so fun!

We had a fantastic dinner at Aloft, we sat at the kitchen table. The staff were amazing, chatting with the chefs while they plated our dishes was so great. We did the matching wines option and they were great. Can highly recommend the cocktails also. We will definitely be back next time we are in Hobart.

Such an exceptional tasting menu. Incredible service and such a relaxing atmosphere. A special mention to Jacob, our sweet and enthusiastic server - total legend! He made the experience just an absolute delight 🙂👌🏻. We look forward to dining here again next time we visit Hobart.

The appetisers were the highlight of our meal, absolutely delicious and faultless. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and made us feel super welcome. We were also lucky to get a window seat, and the views were stunning! 😍

We booked a few months in advance as we were travelling over the Easter weekend. Service from the whole team was excellent, we felt welcome, well looked after and the staff went out of their way to manage us. Food was excellent, some unique and adventurous combinations that were executed extremely well. Cocktails and wine were also masterful and some of the best we've experienced in Australia. A great experience for foodies, priced extremely well. I tipped because I think the staff really put in a lot of effort. View is also top notch. Do recommend.

The food at Aloft is wonderful, absolutely scrumptious, and at times transportive. The set menu is incredibly well designed and perfectly portioned, incorporating creative and unusual local ingredients that engage the guest in an eye-opening and intimate way with Tasmania's unique natural offerings. It's very clear why Aloft is widely reputed as the best restaurant in Hobart. A lovely and unique highlight of our five-day vacation. I give five stars also to the service - professional, warm, attentive - and five stars to the view; a magical vista overlooking the deep blue waters of the stunning Hobart harbor as sunset edges into twilight over dinner.

Highly recommended!! Every dish served was full of flavor and delicious. The wine pairing went well with everything as well. Andy was an amazing server. This place just has an overall great vibe and it is so full of personality. No judgement here at all. Keep doing your thing Chefs, hope to cross your paths again in the future!

This is a must-visit and unique restaurant in Hobart. The chef's menu with wine pairing was exceptional and the service and ambience were perfect. We were celebrating a very special anniversary and the personal attention was not missed. Perfect evening with the best fresh delicious ingredients and wonderful wines. Oh and that lemon cocktail was to die for!

Time to review one of my current favourites. Pressure! Aløft opened in November 2015 after great anticipation and with high expectation, its head chefs coming most recently from Garagistes and Property of Pilgrim--and that's not even where the stellar lineup ends; both behind the bench and front of house are well-known faces. After having been a few times now I can confirm that my favourite spot is up at the bar, watching the chefs at work. That's no surprise, it's generally my top pick and I love that it's something you can do at Aløft. But it's only really suitable for a party of one or two people, as any more than that and conversation gets awkward. Anybody who's tried it knows this, it's no slight against Aløft but groups at benches. The food, if forced to describe it, is Asian influenced Tasmanian small plates. The menu is divided into three sections, untitled, but clearly snacks, small plates and larger plates. There is a banquet option for a group that's definitely worth the cost, but it's just as easy to pick out a few plates yourself. My absolute favourites are the pig ears in masterstock snack (so salty, so crunchy, so fatty) and the congee small plate. I could quite happily take myself to dinner and just have those two and be sated (if I wasn't ravenous). Throw in the ice-cream dessert for three courses. Add an oyster or two if you want a bit of fresh seafood. Get Alice to pick you a delicious wine and you're set. Missing a star because service has been a little slow to get food menus to us on more than one occasion (and I hate asking). They have been training some new staff though, so I'm more than willing to revise this after another visit or two, because there will be one (or two, or many more to come). Tables will generally require a reservation, but the bar seats don't have bookings--though you may still need to be early or lucky to get a spot. Aløft is hot hot hot right now.

Happened into Aloft and was seated at the bar. It turned out to be one of the best experiences of life!! Christian the owner/chef served us. Not only was the food superb, but the passion of this young entrepreneur was inspired. You must try this restaurant if you visit Hobart!!!

My expectations for fine dining are for the food to be beautifully balanced and a warm ambiance. The food was a juxtaposition of Asian and French with more confusion than fusion. The produce was good but the delivery was poor. We left feeling disappointed. The ambiance was ruined by playing poorly selected pop music. Staff were friendly and helpful. I can always forgive poor ambiance if the food is good.

Fantastic location, spectacular views, but above all, delectable, luscious local dishes. I was looking for a fine dining restaurant in Hobart to finish a lovely trip in Tasmania and found the menu of Aloft the most appealing from a selection of highly recommended establishments. I tried to reserve (several weeks in advanced), but was disappointed to find all the seating booked. I assumed that spots at the typically highly sought-after Chef's Table would be gone too, instead there seemed to be plenty of spaces! What a bonus! According to Chef Glen, this is a typical quirk in Hobart where seats at the Kitchen Bar are slower to fill. Perhaps this is assumed that there may be no view with these seats. While the seating is further back, we still enjoyed the beautiful water view from our lofty stools. Only the banquet menu is available for seats at the kitchen bar. This would be our choice regardless, but my goodness, was that tasting menu good! Masterstock pig's ears - I would travel to Hobart just for these. Egg custard, crab, ginger - excellent, with incredibly subtle dehydrated ginger. Lovely prawn and fig leaf, nice black pepper pork belly. The mushroom dumpling was fine, though larger slices of wood ear in the filling would provide that satisfying firm chew that is wood ear. But here, the menu again takes flight. The blue eyed cod (apparently a by-catch), sprinkled with dehydrated egg (perhaps seems strange) was perfection. A genius matching of flavours and faultless cooking. This is unexpectedly surpassed by the magnificence of the koji beef. A new food preparation experience for me, it was explained that the beef is briefly fermented in koji (used in sake, soy sauce, miso etc), before a laborious and careful process of multiple flash fire grilling. Sorry, best edited description I can provide. The result is flavour and texture I have not yet experienced - incredibly tender, though concurrently maintaining a firmness/structure in the bite. It now makes other comparable sous vide meat seem like an elementary, pasty cheat. The finale for us was the sable and condensed milk ice cream with coffee toffee. This was a luscious ice cream with toffee on a bed of shave 'sable'. What was the process of making the shaved sable? I don't know. The sable was a mouth melting, pencil shaving of what tasted like freshly baked, smooth as silk digestives. My husband never orders desserts, has taken an occasional spoonful of my dessert after firm badgering. On this occasion, he ate half of the dessert. It was very good. Exceptional food. Thank you
