This meal would have to be the most awful of any dining experiences we have had to date, so much so tghat we sent our food back to the kitchen and left. The garlic/ herb bread we ordered prior to the meal was rubbery and stale so was sent back. The main meal- coral trout was shrivelled- dry on the outside and raw in the middle as if having been frozen. It was so tough it would not flake away with a fork!. The Pork dish not much better- cold and rubbery.. vegetables uninspiring and poorly cooked.

For a premier upmarket 4 star hotel, it was exceedingly poor. We have stayed before at this hotel and while room has been fine the breakfast we had last time in the restaurant area was not much better! (kermit07 - See my reviews (4) - December, 2010)

Overall 7.3 - Food 8, Ambience 8, Value 6, Service 7

I have been here quite a few times, when we had work conferences in Canberra. The food is quite nice and it is a clean, spacious dining facility connected to the hotel.

Prices are reasonably expensive but the food is good. Service is quite good as well in the restaurant section but I have found some staff on the hotel desk to be very rude at times. (Tasmania2009 - See my reviews (98) - February, 2009)
