Jailhouse Grill had just what we were looking for. Wanted a dinner place with some meat and this…read morerestaurant had several options. Unexpectedly, they had a salad bar (all you can eat) which was a great way to start the meal. With several lettuce salads to choose from, olives, fresh tomatoes, apples, beets, etc, I found so many ingredients to make my salad just what I liked. For dinner, I chose the small rump which was like a 6-7oz ribeye. It was cooked perfectly to my specification. It came with roasted potatoes. The steak and potatoes were delicious. With the salad, it was a pert combo. Parking is on the street. We got a spot right in front of the place. Parking is free after 5:30pm so that was convenient. Apparently, the restaurant was never a jail, despite the bars on the windows, but the vibe was still fun and created a nice atmosphere. Service was excellent. Great stop.

Right away we were served with warm fluffy rye bread with horseradish butter. We got the angel hair pasta with uni (couldn't find much of an uni flavor because it was masked by the sourness of the lemon but the angel hair pasta was nice and al dente, a tad too oily but I couldn't stop eating it and the hubby loved the contrast that the brioche crumbs brought), the saffron tortellini (exceptional and refreshing goat curd and lemon filling, perfectly al dente also..didn't care for the green sauce and maybe a tad too oily with butter. I am sad however that it only comes with 4 pieces) , the pan roasted white fish (crispy skin could be crispier, the nut mixture and saffron mussels are phenomenal and the squid ink polenta is good does have a lot of squid ink flavor and was unfortunately kinda sitting in a puddle of butter like the other dishes) and fried spatzle with lemon herb (not too heavy with the lemon herb). For dessert we got the poached pear, roasted fig and blue cheese ice cream (oddly good ice cream - tastes like cheese! And I love the pear flavor!) Service wise, our server knew his stuff. Overall a great dinner and so glad we came here! If I had to recommend one restaurant in Launceston, this is it!

As we drove to Launceston, leaving behind the Freycinet portion of our honeymoon, I had a sudden…read moreand strong craving for classic Italian food. I yearned for something comforting and familiar. Relying on a recommendation from the kind lady handling the booking at our hotel in Launceston, we relinquished control and wandered in to Frank's hoping that it would satisfy our wish for comforting Italian food with a relaxed environment. Well, it did exactly that! We were quite satisfied with every single aspect of the meal. The friendly family owned vibes, the attentiveness of the wait staff, the recommendations on how to order and accommodations on what we did order, the timeliness that the food was delivered and the quality (and value) of the food and the wine are just a few of the things we took note of. I've been to some pretty incredible Italian restaurants in my day and had some out of this world homemade Italian cuisine and this place held it's own and delivered in the way it's supposed to. Would highly recommend.

Steve's Grill and Restaurant is a very interesting place for an outsider. As someone from…read moreMelbourne, I'm not too sure about the history of Steve's Grill or whether it is considered a high-society establishment, but it appears that is the feel that management is going for, and when I dined here, I experienced a gentleman wearing a tuxedo while dining with his wife! While the lights were dimly lit and the service attempted to be silver, Mr Tux still seemed out of place against the contrast of the fish and chip shop paper tablecloth and the Tasmanian working-class feel prevalent here. Digressing, quite simply put: the steaks here were grilled to perfection and incredibly delicious, the one staff member was highly competent and very nice (sadly I didn't get her name), and the cheese platter special for an amazing $15 was absolutely scrumptious. The drink glasses are incredibly small, so I would probably just go with water, unless you want to order three drinks for yourself just in order to get through your meal without quenching. Nothing let this place down, and I'd quite happily return the next time I'm in Launceston.

Probably the best pizza you can buy in Launceston…read more The dough is really tasty, the toppings are delicious and the cheese tastes like pure mozzarella not a blend like Dominos or Pizza Hut would use. Prices are fair considering you get a well topped pizza. The amount of grease you see on the pizza box is kind of expected but I have had a friend say it was way too greasy but I think he forgets its takeaway pizza not a restaurant pizza in Italy or something. Staff are a bit quiet on the phone, but maybe they are just unaware their phones mic is quiet so I don't know. Their delivery range leaves a bit to be desired as I live in Blackstone Heights and they won't deliver that far, but will deliver to the casino. I mean Dominos does it so I'm sure you could squeeze it in. Very nice anyway
