Best Seasonal Restaurants in Seven Mile Beach

Booked the table Christmas eve said there were only 2 tables left but it was empty. Except for kids running around. Hubby had steak which was cooked the was he likes. I had a steak cooked a little to much. Very large portions. The waiter's seem lost in what they are doing. If you ask 1 waitress a question you end up with 3 standing around your table tring to answer it. Very nice icecram bar for kids but no real dessert for adults.

I went to dinner at Leatherwood last Friday, Dec 13th, with a few friends. When I made the booking, I tried to find their menu, but to no avail. A little frustrating, but intriguing at the same time. In hindsight, it really didn't matter. What I was impressed with, and lookingforward to, was that they exclusively use Tasmanian produce. We were seated at a table directly infront of the open kitchen and servery. Our server, John, was lovely and very knowledgeable. It's the first time I have been to a Hilton Hotel, in any capacity, so I was entering with an open mind, but also expecting it to be a bit "grand". Don't get me wrong! It is lovely! But I was pleasantly surprised that it isn't pretentious and has a welcoming ambience. To me, eventhough it's a 5⭐️ hotel, it "feels Tasmanian". Now the food. (I wish I had taken a photo of the menu, so I can give accurate details of the dishes) I started with the scallops. It is 3 half-shells, each containing 3 (albeit small) scallops on cauliflower mash. I was very happy to see that they keep the roe attached. ✔️✔️ Others had oysters, and chicken liver paté. By all accounts everything was lovely! My main was Rack of Lamb done perfectly pink, with chimichurri and beetroot marinated shallots. Others had mussels, Wagyu steak, Market Fish (Blue Eye) and chicken. We shared sides of crispy roasted potatoes, fries, broccollini and Dutch carrots. All plates were (almost licked) clean! Everything was perfect! No-one could fault a thing. We were pleasantly satiated. Even the wines we had exuded warm murmurings. Then they brought us the dessert menu! So ofcourse we had to partake. Most of us had Leatherwood Crème Brûlée, with rhubarb jam and shortbread (don't be fooled by the 4 small hexagonal pieces on the plate. When the server tells you "don't eat them", DON'T. They may look like shortbread, but infact they are bees wax! [We didn't try to eat them]) One of our party had the Apple pie. All plates emptied once again! 10 out of 5 ⭐️❤

We love meeting regularly at Birdsong because it is quiet with large tables and we can linger as long as we like.

The food and service were great. We had the roast lamb. It was tender and served with mint jelly and a variety of fresh vegetables and roast potatoes. The chef made a fantastic dessert for us to try on the house. A great evening with a lovely view. We shall go again.

We really enjoy the atmosphere and food as we celebrated our friend birthday. The service was fantastic and we really appreciated the open fire in the lounge to finish our night.
