It wasn't fancy and you couldn't just pick "calamari and chips" or "Flounder and Scallops". You ordered per person, and your basket was filled with whatever the fishing boats caught. Could be sardines, could be flake, could be squid, octopus... it was unbelievably fresh and the building was an anachronism standing at the waters edge of rustic down home charm and good, fresh seafood. That's how it WAS. they've renovated, and in 2024 chic, it looks and feels like a drab, sterile cafeteria. You no longer order based on what's caught, nothing is as fresh as it was and the staff are dismissive to the point of being rude. It's filled with fake ocean props and displays that seem totally at odds with the new modern stylings. Prices have gone up, serving size has gone down and what was a quaint gem hidden on the way to Port Arthur has now Been gentrified in the most disappointing way possible. I wouldn't recommend it on its own, unless you happen to be passing through anyway.

Definitely a spot to stop on the way back from Port Arthur. Very fresh fish. So fresh you see the…read moreboat arrive at the shop and unload the fish, the fisherman gutting and scaling the fish in the shop, a woman batters the fish and cooks it while a young girl serves the customers. The process was a little slow and the only choice on the day was a seafood basket with chips. The fish was running out as the workers yelled to one another "We are out of flake and trevally and now only flathead" Working in a kitchen before I know the oil needs changing when a lot of food is cooked. It could have been changed. However the experience was worthwhile and a bit of a step back in time.

Our group really enjoyed our time at Syra. They fit our large group in last minute. The restaurant…read morewas a little busy when we got there, but pretty dead by the time we finished our dinner so you can probably just hop in anytime. Since we had a large group they did a fixed menu for us. They were great about accommodating any allergies or dietary restrictions and even made separate dishes for the vegetarians in the group. All of the dishes were great, but the real standout for us was the fried cauliflower dish (but everything was tasty). The vegetarians among us really liked the artichoke dish. Service was great. Regularly checked on us for water or additional drinks, and as mentioned were very accommodating for dietary restrictions. Interior of restaurant was also clean and I love when it's an "open kitchen" so you can see the chefs at work. Would make it a point to return if I'm in the area again.

I was surprised to see that the menu more closely reflects that of a fine dining restaurant, with prices to match. The atmosphere is pleasant, with gentle acoustic music, good service and a laid back/fine dining feel with Turkish elements throughout on both floors. We ordered the Meze platter to share with 5 dips and pide. At $11/head its reasonably priced but on the higher end for bread and dips. It was however, absolutely delicious with my favourite flavours being the capsicum and hummus. The tzatziki was also very pleasant. While it did take some time to come out, good food often does and the presentation was outstanding (photo included). For mains we shared the lamb tagine on polenta and this was very flavourful, and beautifuuly tender - cooked with prunes and other spices which gave a sweet finish which works well with the meal. All in all, a wonderful dining experience, I have given it four stars as I think it is priced on the higher end for what I would expect to pay. Would return on my next trip to Hobart!

A stylish steakhouse located in the Henry Jones hotel. We dined there one night during our three…read morenight stay. Like the hotel, the interior sports of hand-hewn stone and massive wooden beams coupled with sleek modern touches-it has a nice aura. The menu is ala carte and features a collection of steaks from $AUD 50-99 in price, sides and starters. We enjoyed a special crab toast starter and a couple of steaks. I got the classic ribeye and my wife the fillet (which outside the US is NOT filet mignon). For sides we enjoyed the creamy Paris mash and the roasted cauliflower. Everything was good but keep in mind to order your steak one level more done than normal -ie medium well if you like medium-as this place like so many outside the US tends to cook much lower than you may be used to. Service was what you'd expect from a high end spot like this. Recommended
