   We booking in for dinner before the Ghost tour. We were greeted warmly and shown our table. After explaining the dishes we were left for a reasonable time before being approached for our order. The waitress that night was doing an exceptional job as she was the only one on the floor. The food was interesting, delicious and well plated. We had fun trying something different. The only negative of the entire evening was the noise from the extraction fan in the kitchen, but that didn't detract from the overall dining experience too much.

   It's the service that was the standout at our final dinner in Port Arthur at 1830. We finished our tour with the happy hour talk at 3.30 and then when we couldn't be bothered going home to come back later for our booked dinner, the restaurant happily accommodated the change for us and we amused ourselves until our very early dinner. The female staff member at the desk and on the floor that night was a delight and really made us feel welcome. (She'd previously trained to be a chef but decided back of house wasn't for her - a win for all her guests at the restaurant.) It was the perfect finale to a fabulous and very moving day at Port Arthur, where everyone we encountered was knowledgable and happy to share their knowledge.

   We had a great dining experience at 1830. The food was delicious with complementary and interesting flavours and produce. Nice ambience and staff were really friendly, helpful and professional. Perfect end to our day wandering around Port Arthur site. Highly recommend.

   A nice atmosphere and we were really looking forward to the dinner. Unfortunately the overall experience was let down by multiple items not being available on the menu. The menu is already quite small so when a few things are unavailable it is really noticeable. Dessert was also very limited. Service was good but would try elsewhere if visiting again.

   Took an hour for food to be served. Empty 2 tops were available but were allocated to high tops instead. Would not recommend.

   Outstanding location on the beautiful Tasman Peninsula… Food menu, wine list from locally selected produce prepared and served with outstanding professionalism. Staff friendly, knowledgeable and discrete. Atmosphere excellent in a beautiful World Heritage surrounding. Third visit this year, we’ll be back. Thank you to Sarah, Richard and Edie for a most enjoyable night.

   We went on the ghost tour at Port Arthur so wanted to eat close by. The restaurant is literally in the complex so very conveniently located. Food and service were superb.

   We were travelling around Tasmania and booked dinner at 1830 as we were in Port Arthur for our anniversary. It was an excellent evening from our pre-dinner drinks (a local sloe g&t and an ale) to the generous cheeseboard. A wonderful local wine list and super friendly service rounded out the evening.
