1830 Restaurant and Bar, Port Arthur

Zero star. Disgusting food. We had potato leek soup. The soup had no leek flavour in it and tasted raw potato. Bread too was hard. Chips were not fried enough.
As these were not edible we ate egg and salad sandwiches and these too tasted below average.

You would need x-ray vision to take in the advertised sweeping views of the historic site due to being overgrown with trees. The dining area has all the charm of an underground train station cafeteria. Ticket sales are right outside with people standing in line able to look through the floor to ceiling glass, giving one the feeling of dining in fish bowl feel. If you are expecting anything more than expensive restaurant priced food, you will be disappointed.

The food is way over priced for poorly cooked pub style food. Honestly, you're better off getting a pie from the servo

Beautiful presentation and location but food was bland except for 1 condiment which was way too spicy (we love spicy, but this level didn't match the dish)

Below par when it came to variety and price. Glad parking was free. The quality of the food was about average.

We were excited to have dinner here.the surroundings are fabulous and the restaurant is lovely.but that's where any good comments end. I had crumbled chicken which was lovely but had a vile redcabbage accompaniment or should I say mayonnaise with redcabbage. Awful. I ordered a lemon tart.good Lord, the crust was so hard I couldn't cut it and the filling was flavorless and so runny. For what we paid it was very poorly presented and def not a pleasant experience.

I simply cannot fault this dining experience in anyway at all. One of the best meals I have ever had, both courses were absolutely delicious and flavoursome. The fish and the chicken were cooked to perfection, and both well sized. The chicken pine nut crumb was something different and went down well, and it mixed perfectly with the parmesan and peppers in side salad. Yes, they pulled of the side salad which is a true compliment, considering I almost always hate them. The fish was a true masterpiece, it melted in your mouth, and possessed flavours I would never expect from such a dish. The lemon mash potato was different, but I absolutely loved every mouthful, the flavours mix unexpectedly well together. The olives, which often overpower other flavours added well to this dish, and they chose the right type of lighter olive for it too. The deserts were also fantastic, but I prefered the tart, even if it wasn't as asthetically pleasing as the roule. The staff were friendly, providing useful information about the area and the food arrived fast. The first meal I have had that I simply cannot fault.

Good brekkie, comfortable funky Cafe and gift store with small art gallery attached. Found the artwork exceptionally expensive for the quality but still worth a look.did love the contemporary sculpture of the Tasmanian tiger and devil Top class work.

We had a fantastic meal here. After a day walking around the site in the heat, it was the perfect finish. The Blue Eye Trevella is a definite do not miss. We sat right in front of the window and watched the sun sunset over the site. Very relaxing.

The lamb koftas were flavourless, the mussels were undercooked and the Black Forest roulade was dense and tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for over a week. The views are beautiful over the historic site but that’s about as good as the meal got. Disappointing as I expected a lot more from a restaurant that is always booked out.

OK but very tourist orientated. Not about the food rather a basic experience to go with the ghost tour.

The food and service were excellent but the evening was slightly spoilt by a very noisy group, not entirely their fault as the acoustics in the restaurants are not good. The view over the historic site is superb.

Great food, drink and somewhat service. The only down fall would be our food was forgotten about and we waited 45 mins for breakfast to be served.

Pretty good food. Nice staff and atmosphere. Allowed us to make a change to the menu. Clean and tidy.

Take away one star for the wait of the food. Everything else is perfect. Food are so good, nice view and environment, staff are friendly.

Really enjoyable meal, but a bit frustrating when the restaurant was quite empty, with two waiters on the floor - yet had empty plates on our table for 20minutes, and then waited a further 15min to get dessert menus. Completely understandable if it was busy, but it was slow enough to become a frustration.

Otherwise good food and good location.

A perfect place to get a super after browsing Port Arthur historical site. The food is delicious and the service is great!

It is the best steak ever! Reasonable price, Great atmosphere and beautiful view. Strongly recommended. I'll definitely come back again when I visit Tasmania.

Dinner was absolutely amazing but Liz and the service was even better! We had the quail, sashimi and oysters then for mains the steak, pork and chicken and all were 1st class. Even the chips were fantastic.
Thanks again Liz, you made our night and we’re off to check out some of your recommendations in the area today.

We had the night tour package which includes dinner. Pork belly was so good that the fat could melt in mouth.
