Peppermint Bay & Peppermint Bay Cruises

Severely disappointed. Went for a birthday lunch and sat outside on a beautiful sunny day. Looking around I felt the place was lacking maintenance, lawns untidy, outdoor tables in desperate need of some oil, building looking a bit run down etc. Our meals were delivered to the table behind us by mistake (the people who received them didn’t say anything, and began eating our steak). Ten minutes later, the waitress bought out another round of meals to the same table, and we pointed out that the first ones were delivered to the wrong table. So after my oysters and blue eye travalla had been sitting on someone else’s table for ten minutes in the sun, they were then given to me by the waitress with a “oh sorry, we”lol have to cook you another steak” to my wife. The other table then received the steak that they ordered, after already eating half of the first one. Not wanting to leave my seafood in the sun for any longer, I had to eat my meal while my wife waited for her steak to be cooked. One oyster was all I could manage, obviously had either been frozen or sitting in the fridge for days. Watery and not fresh at all. The blue eye, was in fact a handful of cold rice with a boiled egg on top, and traces of cold, dry fish throughout. To serve this up as a main dish is an embarrassment. The steak arrived 20 minutes later accompanied by 2 potatoes and a teaspoon of mustard. An incredibly thick strip of un-rendered fat took up more of the plate than anything thing else. We were offered a free drink for the stuff up, but declined as the first beer was flat, as was the champagne which was the last dregs of a bottle. We went home disappointed and hungry.

Do yourself a favour and book the lunch cruise. Food is amazing, location amazing and staff especially amazing. Disability friendly, they have a buggy to drive anyone with mobility issues up to the restaurant. It's my 6th time & loved the experience as much as the 1st time.

It’s a great place. We made last minute order before the kitchen closes and everything was delicious and delivered quickly. I’ll return to this restaurant next time I visit Tasmania

Came here for dinner with friends, when on a weekend in Hobart. The food was ok, I ordered the gnocchi which was quite acidic. It wasn’t well balanced. I didn’t eat it all. The hummus with crisp bread was nice. Wine by the glass option was average. Drinkable but not the best Pinot noir I’ve had.

We had a delicious lunch at the restaurant - yummy flavors and upscale atmosphere. Ingredients were fresh and everything was amazing. Lots of parking.

As much as the weather was not that great it was still a fantastic day out, we saw a couple of seals along the way and lunch was absolutely delicious. Could not fault the crew, all very attentive and the skipper Ben did a Stirling job navigating the rough part of the sea. A must do when in Tassie no matter the weather xx

Some of the best food I’ve had in my life. The New York strip was outstanding, and that dessert (panna cotta) was to DIE for. Oh, and not a bad view hehe…

So relaxing sitting outside in the sun, enjoying the views over the water while having a nice glass of wine or a beer. The food was sensational, staff were friendly and welcoming, highly recommended l.
