A great meal (a very well cooked steak). Lots of lovely entrees to choose from. Great wine to fossick through. The atmosphere of the square isn't amazing, so get a seat inside, as it's well decorated.

We'd read a number of good reviews for SMOLT and were therefore disappointed when our experience did not match the enthusiasm of past diners. Our meals were hit and miss. My husband's starter of braised octopus was tender in parts, tougher in others. My pork terrine was bland although the relish that came with it, was nice and spicy. There... More

I dined at Smolt on Saturday night after reading some of the reviews on Urban Spoon and elsewhere. I was extremely disappointed. The service was non-existent and the food was less than second rate. We ordered warm olives, which were cold as well as two pizzas, which were overcooked, rubbery in texture and devoid of any flavour. So bad that... More

We came here on a Friday night for an early dinner. When we arrived it wasn't too busy yet so we were seated right away. The food and wine were fantastic, the venue is in a great location, good ambiance and friendly staff. Recommend.

Can't decide where to go for dinner and ended up here. With our 13 months old baby, kinda difficult and smelt service has made it great and helpful. The amazing special tasting plate was amazing and to die for. The lamb ribs, beef cheek and salmon pasty was amazing.

Overall this is a very, very good restaurant and is obviously run by people who know what they are doing. The pizzas are absolutely gourmet. Best I've had in a very long time. Service was flawless.

Turned up without a reservation for lunch during the January bushfires. My partner and I had been camping, but got freaked out and had decamped to hotels in Hobart. We were seated without issue, despite no reservation and despite not being dressed formally. We had a fantastic, leisurely lunch of chicken, salmon and home-made ice cream with wines by the... More

We did not book but a table for two was available. Service was fast and attentive. The breakfast menu represents excellent value for money with really interesting tasty selections that are delicious and quite substantial. The confit parmesan mushrooms were outstanding. This is a top class breakfast option and we will return to try their dinner menu due to our... More

I've eaten here during the week as well as weekends, and for breakfast and dinner. The food is excellent, and service good. The menu changes frequently enough for us to dine here every month or so. When people from interstate or overseas come to visit us, this is one of the first places we take them to. No one has... More

Decided to finish our holiday with a lazy long lunch here and so glad we did. Meals were delicious, service was great and their seafood pasta was amazing, in fact, my husband voted it the best dish of our trip.
