The Astor Grill

My partner and I had a lovely first meal in Hobart here. The service was great and the atmosphere very romantic. Scallops where DIVINE! Steak tartar was lovely, with the fried capers, and my partner enjoyed his prime steak with bone marrow. Wallaby was a little sweet to my liking and a huge serve! Overall highly recommend

We visited during a weekend in Hobart and had an outstanding dining experience. The freshly shucked oysters were superb, and the oven-baked scallops were beautifully balanced with the purée and vinaigrette. For mains, the prime eye fillet with green peppercorn sauce was perfectly cooked — one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Service was impeccable from start to finish, and the selection of wines by the glass was excellent. A genuinely enjoyable evening and definitely a place I’ll return to next time I’m in town.

We had a wonderful experience, the food was fantastic.The duck and scallops were a stand out, with an extensive menu selection. The service from Jeremy was relaxed and refined. I would definitely recommend visiting Astor Grill for an enjoyable meal.

We came in on a Friday night and we were si lucky to get a table for two. They seem very popular. Quite a posh place, everyone is dressed up, they have a classic interior, I think Italian style with proper table cloth, linen napkins and staff who takes your coat to hang and elevated service. The food look so good,very well presented, like ones you see on magazine and tv. And the taste of the food - very delicious, tasty, professionally done and all the good things I can say. If i go back in Tasmania, I will go here again.

We recently visited Astor on our short Hobart trip and were impressed by the quality of the food and service. We ordered scallop entree and were captured by the freshness with beautiful balanced taste of macadamia nuts in the source. Our steak was perfectly cooked, and the bone marrow condiment added a clever flavourful touch. Service was attentive with great recommendations that enhanced our experience. It was great that we have booked ahead and we would have returned for another meal if we were not flying off the next day.

The best blue cheese sauced steak and lamb cooked two ways I have eaten. The food is just fabulous and cooked to perfection.

A shockingly good dinner experience. After all these thousands of meals or restaurants around the world,, I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a meal more. An intimate, white tablecloth grill with hardwood panels. Small, busy, yet very personal. The small plate — scallops in their shells — were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Another small plate, mushrooms with a truffle sauce and topped with a lightly fried saffron rice ball was rich and delicious. My main course, the lamb ribs and backstrap was easily the best lamb dish, possibly the best meat dish, I’ve ever eaten. This restaurant is high Michelin quality at a surprisingly nominal cost. They have a tremendous wine list which we did not indulge in, but this was certainly one of the best fine dining experiences I’ve ever had, and I can’t recommend Astor Grill more high.

Tried Astor Grill on our last night in Hobart and what an amazing place. Love the dark decor, service is attentive, and food is great. Two of us shared the oven baked scallops - so delicious, and a trio of the Wagyu arancini. These were very filling. For mains we had the 300g porterhouse (a perfect medium rare but perhaps the exterior is over seared and a little too charred) accompanied by grilled vegetables and roasted potatoey. A nice evening to round off a Hobart visit.

Came here for a steak dinner with the wife and wasn't disappointed! From the moment we sat down the service was fantastic and it only got better from there. The porterhouse I ordered medium rare was brilliant, and my wife's scotch fillet was perfect. She's hard to please sometimes but I didn't hear a bad thing from her! The house made bbq sauce was awesome and i highly recommend the bread and garlic aioli. Brilliant!

Great service!! Never felt rushed, yet staff were attentive. Water glad was never empty. I ordered the the wallaby, which I've never tried. It was cooked perfectly! Also got the chocolate souflee with coffee ice cream, which were both yummy. After dessert, I was presented with a little piece of fudge as finale. Restaurant was pretty full, not packed, and no wait. It was connected to a hotel, yet felt much nicer than the average hotel restaurant. If I knew it was connected I would not have come. So glad I did!!!

Greeted promptly, politely & easily. Dining area is quaint, cozy & relaxed. Not loud by any means. Fine dining flair but relaxed enough to wear jeans. The menu had phenomenal choices. I started with the Prime Eye tartar, wonderful starter. The flavours blended beautifully and the portion was generous. Entree of Wallaby Fillets. Perfectly cooked at rare. I would not suggest a higher cook temp, it was tender and again the portion was perfectly sized. Had both courses with a local Tassie Pinot Noir my server chose for me. Only two servers on to work the whole dining area ( which I feel was sufficient for a 12 table restaurant ) both servers were proficient in their duties and on top of their tables. Desert was a Creama Cantalana which I paired with the Frogmore Creek Ice Riesling. Perfect way to end a day. I highly recommend this as a place to eat. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic! Went there for dinner for my birthday and the dishes were local fare with an exquisite splash of panache.

Excellent! Service is so considerate. Food is so great that I'd recommend it to all my friends. The Vietnam waiter is cute and polite, after almost all the tables finished we talked to him and heard some interesting things.
