Delicious food in a lovely setting, beautiful courtyard dining hidden away behind the IXL Henry Jones Art Hotel. A bit on the expensive side, but well worth it. Great for summer or winter dining alike.

Food always tastes good, is convenient, close to cinema if you want a quick, easy dinner before a movie. Always busy so service can be a bit slow. Eat in or takeaway. Sometimes think the cleanliness aspect may be a bit suspect, but nothing concrete, just an impression. A bit overpriced for what it is.

Approximate cost: $12

Haven't eaten here for a while now, but always enjoyable when I do. Nice area to eat in, or for a quick takeaway in the city.

Nice food, but selection is a bit limited, and prices a little high, given the high number of other eateries in the vicinity. Still, pleasant eating experience, has outdoor tables, and good service.

Good cafe that has a nice range of light meals and coffee/cake. Good service, friendly staff, nice place to stop in for a break while shopping.

The only cafe in the shopping centre, so they have a monopoly, and charge very high prices for very standard food as a consequence. Food is fine for what it is, standard cafe fare, fish n chips etc, but very overpriced.

Approximate cost: $11

Has been renovated a couple of years back and is now a nice looking venue with separate gaming room and sports TVs, plus a play area for kids.

Addit June 2012: The last three times I've eaten here the food has been pretty awful - sounds OK on the menu, but has deteriorated dramatically in the last couple of years.

Chicken Caesar Salad - chicken chunks scattered through a tired salad of iceberg lettuce, not a cos lettuce leaf in sight, and plain mayo, no Caesar dressing.

Fish with chips & salad - fish was very dry and tasteless, the salad was finely shredded iceberg lettuce and carrot, absolutely drowning in Italian dressing (which wasn't mentioned on the menu & I didn't request). It had obviously been dressed ahead of time and refrigerated, as the lettuce was impregnated with the dressing & the whole lot was unpalatably chilled. I couldn't eat it.

I could go on, but all I really need to say is that I won't be going back & I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. A great pity, as it used to be good food in a nice atmosphere, located conveniently close to my Mum's home.

Approximate cost: $22

Good, hearty pub meals, service over the bar, reasonable prices. A great place for a pub meal for a casual pub lunch or dinner, have also attended a lunch in the private function room, was well catered and service was good.

Approximate cost: $23

Nice little coffee shop that has a good selection for breakfast, lunch dinner or whatever! Good service, yummy desserts!

Really nice food but it's not cheap.
The cakes and pastries are expensive compared to to other places, and you don't get anything extra that is routinely offered elsewhere - no cream or icecream, nothing heated (ie, banana bread) unless you specifically ask it to be, not even a serviette unless you ask for one!
Main meals are tasty but again on the pricey side.
I don't eat here as often as I otherwise would because of the cost.

Addit 20th December 2010: I had lunch here again today, the carrot and coriander soup, which is usually very nice but lacked a bit of zing today. I really did notice the lack of the little extras taken for granted at other places - no condiments on the table, had to ask for pepper and salt, had to ask for a serviette.
Also, service was friendly but quite slow - I was tempted to leave just before my soup arrived. The place wasn't even half full, and it took 15 minutes to arrive - how long does it take to ladle out a bowl of soup? Or at the worst, bung it in the microwave.
There were three people in the kitchen and they seemed more intent on making up more rolls for the display cabinet than serving the customer who was waiting for their soup!
One last thing - on the specials boards, they don't display their prices, which always annoys me - either they think the prices would scare people off because they're too high, or they think they're too elitist to show prices. I'm not that mean (I know they're on the pricey side but I still eat there sometimes) but I like to know before I order how much I'm paying, and I resent having to ask and being made to feel like a penny pincher.

Addit 19th June 2012: I just had to add to my review again - I had lunch here today, mainly because I was so hungry I couldn't think straight, and didn't want to walk further into the city, or eat a burger at K & D!
I had one of the specials, French Tart, which was absolutely delicious, but it came served as a small slice (inch & half max, at the crust end) alone on a large plate. Nothing else. For around $8, I wasn't expecting salad, but a couple of leaves as a garnish would've been nice, and I WAS expecting some variety of relish to accompany it.
The hazelnut latte turned out to have no syrup in it, hazelnut or any other, although to be fair, I didn't bother to send it back, just put sugar in and drank it. When you're only making one coffee, how hard is it to get it right?

One other thing that has niggled at me several times I've eaten there - I've sometimes been made to feel unwelcome if all I've ordered is tea or coffee. A few times I've had not-so-subtle enquiries as to whether I'd like anything else, or am I finished (yet)? This when I actually haven't finished my drink yet! Apparently, lingering over a cuppa while browsing the newspaper is seen as unacceptable! This would be understandable if the place was full and they needed the table, but on every single occasion, there have been plenty of empty tables. This has always come from the owner himself, not from any of the wait staff.
Considering their higher than average prices, I don't take kindly to the implication that I haven't spent enough money to be given the privilege of occupying a table. And if I were them, I wouldn't be alienating customers in such a small place as Hobart.
