Shipwright's Arms Hotel - BATTERY POINT

Why do I try this place to see if they have improved? They never have, never. I ate tonight, nothing changes! the same horrific staff (I have timed 7mins before they even noticed me at the bar) have the loud talks with each other and the regular while the other customers wait. the same overpriced eat, over $40 for a steak. Eat simply on the table with indifference, before the boss who did nothing. No one came to see how it was to delete the table after. no goodbye, just run away. only müll. so many fantastic places in hobart, and these young still do not lift their game. As I said, I'll go back all six months. never again, say...read more

My partner and I came here on our honeymoon and looked for seafood we got with gusto! I had a delicious garnel linguini and my man had the seafood plate that was delicious, but probably had a bit too much fried stuff for my lust, but was perfect for his joy! oysters were top notch. would definitely go back!

Well an amazing old Hobart Institution with a very very good menu, quality food at great prices. The dishes that we have had tonight are definitely of at least four star restaurant standing both in presentation and taste, service is also exceptional. Price on average are around $30 a meal!! Great Value Pub meals!!! My only gripe is that with such high level of food maybe the wine list could strive to meet the same standard ..... But new operators give them time

Had a lovely dinner here. The chicken breast stuffed with blue cheese, walnuts and pear was delicious. Good sized pub meals. Need to book as it gets quite busy.

Not worth the wait. Generous serving sizes and reasonably tasty, but we waited 45 minutes for our meals on a fairly quiet Sunday evening. When my husband asked about our meals after half an hour, the waitress replied, Can 't you see there are a lot of people here tonight? Only 2 staff in the kitchen and they chatted with waitstaff, while taking their time with the cooking. My order was quite different from as described on the menu, and the vegetables were cold. I saw the cook scooping caramelised onions out of a bucket onto the plate. Certainly not worth the price we paid, and not worth the long wait either.
