About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for fine wines
At Old Wharf, we stand in the historical location of former jetties, piers, homes and taverns from where, since the 1800s colourful traders, merchandisers, exporters and explorers have shipped Tassie’s renowned produce across the globe.

Chef Simon Pockran and his team acknowledge this history by creating a menu that celebrates and explores Tasmania’s traditional family dishes. Reimagined and refined, this menu gives the nod to our past while championing our celebrated produce and boutique Tasmania growers.

    I think your lunch menu was a little bit short and very fish based. Apart from that it was very good I’d give you a 4 and a half if I could.

    Our food was nice. I had the Easter sepcial of lobster that I believe was very well priced. The lobster was nice but it was a little dry could have definitely done with more sauce. Our server was terrible. He forgot about us and left us waiting to order drinks, dinner and dessert for over 15 minutes each time having seen that we were trying to get his attention.

    Great meal And Melissa ( our server) was really lovely! In fact the staff in general were very helpful. The hotel itself is very modern but the Wharf restaurant might need a little bit more configuration to make it more private.Currently it feels as though you’re dining in the hotel lobby! But overall very enjoyable :)

    Old Wharf is a very reliable place for dinner. It is not cheap, but it is quiet and the harbour views are lovely. They do a very good rare steak (though the paris butter needs to be put on when the steak is very hot for the butter to melt) and the vietnamese dressing oysters are great.

    This restaurant is first class. The service was excellent with our wait staff being friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing with very generous portions and presentation was excellent. I couldn’t fault it.

    FOOD: My burger was delicious, juicy and filling. My sisters loved the grilled chicken and were happy that their specific requests were met (picky eaters, those two). My mother thought Tasmanian Salmon was delicious while not being 'too heavy'. SERVICE: Our severs, Olive, Romeo, Summer and Ajeet were polite, attentive and helpful. The kitchen team were also very friendly even while preoccupied with cooking. AMBIANCE: Plenty of space between tables but still cozy and warm. The lighting arrangement was soothing and elegant.
