Lucinda Wine Bar — Restaurant in Hobart

I had Lucinda on my places to visit in Hobart for so long and we were so disappointed. We were greeted warmly, sat down and ordered a wine, it was downhill from there. After explaining we were there for dinner, we sat there sipping our wine for what felt like almost 30 minutes waiting for the waiter to return to take our order. In this time, he served three other couples, and continued to chat and have conversations with what seemed like regulars to the wine bar and the other staff. We then had to ask if we could order food, after eating oysters the empty plate sat there again for a while before anyone took it away. We almost decided to get up and leave but decided we’d stay, giving them the benefit of the doubt. At this point we almost felt like we were a nuisance being there, and felt the food and wine was fairly overpriced for what it was. From their socials, Lucinda seems like a buzzing place with an enviable menu. The food is ok - but we felt like this venue can’t decide on whether it wants to be a casual wine bar that is more suited to a quick, easy drink that is more social than anything - or more of an a la carte vibe, which it’s Instagram seems to give off. I’d recommend picking one or the other, otherwise you’ll continue to disappoint. We most likely...

We did not enjoy. I was very excited to visit here as they have lovely social pages and photos. I enquired about a booking and was told they don't take any which is fine. We rocked up (4 of us) and waited about 10/15min for a table which again is fine. Finally managed to get a table outside, it only had 4 chairs, one of us stood around and waited then asked for a chair they said they could not give us a chair but offered a milk crate instead. Again - fine. Finally got asked about what type of wines we liked. The premise of the restaurant as I read is that they offer a few to try when you explain what you like. I got offered one and I didn't like it and asked to try others. After I was told that they thought me what I asked for - mineral, not sweet. Anyway , so it is my. Taste that is bad, but I tasted sour. Got another glass in the end.

Went I side to use the bathroom.. saw some spare tables inside. Asked if we could move in instead once or if one opened up. Instead they haven't to somebody else who was just walking in.

Felt unwelcomed, like we were a nuisance to them. Wines were nothing special. None from Tasmania.wated to love this place, but it was the worst we visited on our trip....

Heard lots about this place and decided to check it out. We rocked up for a late dinner and drinks and managed to score a table. Menus were dropped off and water was served then we did not see a wait staff for a good 20 min. Finally someone showed up and managed to organise wine. As it was a really glass of wine. We were hungry and no one came back to take our food order. After sitting there for a good 30 min and now empty wine glass. We decided to to go have dinner somewhere else. If the place was busy it would have been ok. But there was 3 tables where we were seated. Hope they change their service as we were prepared to eat and drink but...
