bad hospitality, long wait 👎🏼
Open steak sandwich highly recommend.
Great food but waiting for over a hour these days isn’t really acceptable.
Meat lovers pizza was nice.
Very good
Ask Page for a nice cappuccino
Meal: the garden salad was wilted, tomato tasteless, no mayo or dressing; the chips were good; the scallop skewers were good except the bacon could have been cooked more. Was busy but meals came out in a reasonable timeframe. Staff were efficient. Not likely to return
A very wide menu choice and the food was delicious. It was recommended to me and certainly was most enjoyable every time.
A great varied menu. Our waitress was very young and inexperienced, she did not know the wine list. I ordered a bottle of Devils Corner Pinot Grigio & 3 glasses, she returned to ask if it was red or white. The entree dishes were not cleared even when main course was served. My partner had to go inside to request another drink. As we were celebrating a 70th birthday, we were not asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu, which would have completed the meal,
Friendly staff and nice venue, but food was quite poor. The kids enjoyed their meals. We ordered 3 share plates that were all poorly cooked and not as you would expect. The food really let this place down.
The four of us enjoyed our time and meals together at the Central Bar & Restaurant. only complaint was our steaks were well underdone, but what a great location.
Lovely meals, great service and modern decor... 😀 highly recommend!
Lovely dining area table service, good view of harbour.
Service is a little slow, meal & staff were great
Had the pleasure of having two special birthday celebrations on 13/9/2024. The staff were so helpful & went out of their way to make our night perfect. Food & service were fantastic. Shame I didn't get our waiters name, he was so patient & understanding. Thank you all very much. Julie Moore
Three of us had dinner for Father’s Day. Excellent food. Definitely will come back again!
Great service from when you walk through the door and very nice and well priced food. The steak was to die for!
Over from Melbourne and came here for dinner. Excellent food, steak cooked to perfection. Both chicken dishes superb. Staff super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.
Great place to eat.
Great food and service
Huge chicken Parmi, and very nice crumbed scallops. Very convent late lunch prior to Spirit of Tasmania trip.
Slow service , ran out of food then took 20 minutes to figure that out and advise us $50 steak way undercooked Not returning any time soon
Not your average pub food! Excellent food served in a good atmosphere whilst watching a ship sail past the window
Beautiful meal ,had steak, chips, mushroom sauce, hubby had the veggies, both were delicious, well done to the cook today 😋 lovely table service
I love salmon and that’s why I ordered it. The chef decided to drizzle oil on the plate which was not necessary, the salmon was served skin side up which is great, but the skin was lathered with a chimichurri which reminded the crispy skin. I felt that the dish lacked seasoning and I found myself adding salt to the meal to enhance the flavor. I won’t be ordering again and unlikely I’ll come back here.
Lovely meal, friendly staff. Busy on a Friday.
Food a bit overpriced and a little wait on food, atmosphere wasn’t too bad and it’s right in town and they’re open till late. ⏰ Very big venue - good for big bookings
Had the orange roughy on the weekend. Fish was cooked well, scollops way over done that I could just find them on plate and the Thai Yellow sauce was well, terrible as had zero flavour. The Texan Rundle.
Food was not hot on delivery
Absolutely terrible service and definitely would not recommend. Had a table of 8 and waited 50 minutes to receive our first meal after ordering, even though the restaurant was over half empty. Then had a 10 minute wait untill we received more meals. The last meal of the table came out after asking for it 10 minutes after second last meal. The same meals had a massive variation of size and presentation. Staff were absolutely rude and when it came to paying, extra sauces and gravy were added, with staff arguing that we received them. Definitely won't be back.
Unfortunately everything I ordered was not available at this was just before 6 last Saturday, unsure how this happens when you’ve only been on dinner service for 40mins! Overall what we did have was bland and very expensive for what it was
Very nice and warm service. Great food. Beautiful views outside and nice location. Love the beef and lamb. Cocktails are great as well. Though due to my poor and not-very-clear expression made some confusions, the service was great. Recommended
Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant, j'ai trouvé que la nourriture n'était pas très bonne pour le prix, et le service ne m'a pas du tout convenu. En effet, nous avons attendu très longtemps pour qu'on vienne prendre notre commande pour les desserts, jusqu'au point où nous sommes allés les commander à la caisse. Finalement c'était tellement long qu'on a annulé les desserts et nous sommes partis.
Great pub with good food and service
Great outlook for long lunches excellent menu Parking on site or very close by
Great meal. Fast friendly service. Thumbs up.
The staff were incredible and so welcoming. Lovely food. Great spot to have dinner while waiting for the Spirit of Tas
Very nice would recommend
Nice venue typical pub food. Nice view to the water and you can always see the spirit of Tasmania coming in or out
Tasty meals, huge portions. We had a bit of wait due to how busy it was, but wasn't too bad. Staff were exceptionally helpful when our booked group expanded unexpectedly and were able to accommodate our extras. Much appreciated!
Lots of fun with good food and lots of friends.
Good value. Great food. Friendly staff. Quick service.
We have visited twice and the second time Crystal said 'welcome back!' She is a wonderful asset to the business and you should be very proud of her. I also want to mention Evan who looked after our table with a smile. It's a great place and I will recommend it to all who are looking for a high quality pub experience in Devonport.
We been two times we had a great time and good meal a little bit on the dear side but a good meal
Great view and service, garlic bread had a good portion and was tasty and the vegetarian pasta was absolutely delicious. Would definitely come back next time we are in Tassie.
Disappointing from start to finish. Really poor service and made to feel very unwelcome.
Made a special request to sit at window. When we arrived we found that the booking was screwed up and we had no table to sit at and had to sit in the middle of the restaurant. We then had to wait an hour for our food and it became ridiculous so I told the waiter that we are just going to leave to find out they hadn’t t even started the meal. We didn’t get offered anything complimentary to smooth things over and still had to pay for our drinks after they completely ruined our night due to the staff being unbelievably incompetent in every facet in running a successful restaurant. I know it’s Devonport but come on!
Great food, service ok, waitress took our drinks order but it had to be chased up by another staff member
There is something about Central that makes it my choice every time.
Had a wonderful Chrissy luncheon today with 40 others . Service staff were very efficient & friendly . I loved my meal “Sticky bourbon lamb ribs “ with sweet potato chips & slaw absolutely delicious & plentiful , definitely will come back ❤️
Missed a meal ,and then brought out the wrong one , very poor
Love the service
Food and service were very slow and the place was only half full. Portion size of the vegetarian options relative to price was not good. Our waiter also asked us to hand her our plates on the other side of our table, instead of going around to get them herself. Probably a trainee.
Love their food. Lovely staff
A little long waiting for my order, on a quiet Monday night, and after somebody later got served prior. Garlic bread $16? Is that what they are charging in restaurants these days, really? A bit too close for entree size , was the main course- seafood pasta. And a crappie spot where they seated me. Maybe I was just in a bad mood, but there it is.
The best place to eat in town 👍
Lge variety to choose from menu. Meals were exceptional. Service was friendly and obliging.Highly recommend.
Whilst the meal was great I don't believe it was worth the price
It was a whole different experience this time. Everything was excellent. From the flow of service to food. Thank you for looking after me. Cheers ☺️
Very bad acoustics, couldn't hear to have a conversation, food was average, the wait time for a meal was horrendous, 3 people from our table didn't get their meals until well after everyone else had finished theirs, then it was Luke warm, my partner and I shall not be returning.
First time here, won't be the last, great atmosphere, food was delicious and service spot on.
Another great place to sit and relax. Nice food friendly service and watch the Spirit chuck a u-ee in the river. Reasonable pricing. Absolutely wonderful food.
Great food and great atmosphere ! Pricing is good too
Perfect 🤩 Can’t wait to come back!
Delicious food and great service, Crystal is the best
Decent all around
Waited over an hour to get our food and the scallops were over cooked very rubbery will not visit here again
Service was good only issue I have was a girl write down my name and phone number cause I wasn't book. 😆
Bloody brilliant 👏
My mother and I ordered the kids spaghetti and the salmon, we both found these meals were full of flavour and deliciousness. Service was great hope to come back soon
Huge, delicious meals. Great service. Extensive menu, too.
