Blue Eye Seafood Restaurant

The seafood was was very fresh but majority tasted plain.
Our sashimi was room temperature, maybe that’s normal here in Tasmania?
Not the best service, as the manager allowed and served another person before me even though I waited first and told her.

Average food.
Nice wines.
SLOW food delivery.
Lovely waitress.
In their defence, and without us asking, they didn't charge us anything for our dinner and 2 glasses of wine.
Not sure if we will ever go back.
Disappointed is an understatement.

My friends come Hobart from Melbourne and would like to taste the famous seafood of Hobart. Look at the menu and find almost every dish is more than $30，so we think it should be fine. But when all dishes are on the table，we are extremely disappointed! Dishes are very small, and even the cheaper one called “The Lot”，just like the picture below，is it “fish and chips”? This one cost $32.5! Are you kidding me? The others are even more terrible! Do you think the customers are fools？This my first time to come here, and it’s also the last time!

Not very friendly staff. They are kind of Racist. It’s the shame on Beautiful Hobart has this restaurant. But luckily we found another good restaurant nearby. Shame on you. Blue Eye Seafood restaurant.

I went there earlier and ordered mixed seafood grill but was a bit disappointed as some of the fish that was in the plate was not fresh and kinda smell, it actually make my tounge itchy after taking a bite. The rest on the plate is okay though…

So disappointing…overpriced, over hyped fish and chips, the food lacked flavours, innovation and attention, the staff is lovely, wine list really good, but the chef…. Oh dear…. No passion for cooking

The environment and service are not bad, food is okay.however, the oysters are not so fresh, probably were shucked last night and served during a not so busy work day lunch, giving me diarrhoea: (oh well, maybe it was because I pinned too much expectation on it, and it turned out to be just another fish and chip place with nice seatings.

First time visiting from Melbourne, and this was our initial stop in Hobart. While we encountered shockingly poor service with a waitress, I’d like to focus on the positive aspects without letting one person’s behaviour overshadow the rest. The food was excellent – the best fish and chips and clam chowder I've ever had.

However, our experience was affected by the waitress. She left the table twice during the process of taking our order without explanation. We were so confused as we had a simple request of 3 dishes. 5 minutes later while wondering where she went, another waitress, who was much more pleasant, took over. I’ve never experienced this in my life.

Despite the negative encounter, we were happy and excited to be there. It's frustrating when a person's mood affects others. Even after our meal, trying to order coffee was difficult. Our attempt to get the waitress's attention was ignored, which was disrespectful. Even if she couldn’t attend to us straight away and had plates to put back, she should’ve acknowledged us or say “i’ll be right back”.

It's my first time complaining to a manager and I hope she does something about it. You gotta have good manners, especially in a service role.

Went for my partner's birthday. I ordered the mixed grill, was smaller than I had expected for the price, potatoes were obviously reheated from previous day. Partner had the octopus, greek salad was also over a day old. Would go back though for the bloody mary's and oysters, they were quite good.

Solid 3/5.
Venue was nice, food was fresh, service was fine! Just nothing really wowed us.

This restaurant is located at the back of a busy street lined with restaurants. Ticket parking lots line the street, but there aren't many spaces available.
There are heaters above the terrace seats, and they were on even in the summer, so I feel like they're very friendly and the atmosphere is nice.
A kids menu will be available upon request.
I wasn't able to eat the freshly prepared fish due to the parking lot, but I think the fish dishes are delicious.

Beautiful food, the oysters were excellent! A good size too! Delicious Blue Eye, and a nice serving of scallops, although they are small but tasty! Service was lovely!

Fantastic seafood. And the sauces they make here are to die for.

I adored the Thai fish cakes. Fish cakes are normally so bland but not these. Not their sauce.

Dumplings were also fantastic and that sauce on particular had a wonderful taste and bite to it.

Yum.

Great dining experience overall. The food was great and service was matched! Will come back again!

There was 3 of us for lunch on a Tuesday the service was very good I had fish chowder and crumbed blue eye with salad and chips out of 10 I would give it an 8 when we finished our meal the head chef came out too introduced himself as the 3 of us where chefs before and now retired

We had Fathers Day lunch, friendly service, had the Blue Eye special, fish was nicely grilled but the Greek Salad was poorly presented other dishes looked nice.

Beautiful food and atmosphere. Was super busy on a Saturday night but our server still had the time to be especially nice.

Service was excellent with happy, chatty staff. Scallops were excellent and my wife's fish was very good. Definitely have to book.

Food was really nice, we came to celebrate my partner’s birthday and the service was very good, it was an amazing experience overall.

Service was excellent, food was very good but not quite enough to get the 5 stars. Great location though, definitely worth the visit.
