Rude Boy — Restaurant in Hobart

Etienne is a Legend, with a capital "E" for El Legendaro!

Turned me on to an absolutely awesome vodka, "Bread Vodka", made locally by ENDANGERED Distilling Co. from... you guessed it, bread! Not only is it completely smooth and flavour-some, it is made from unused bread! Thank you for respecting the planet and our finite resources, you have engineered the best vodka I've ever tasted!

Thanks Etienne, for your knowledge and devotion to your occupation, you are a credit to the industry, and I very much look forward to experiencing more varieties of all of your top shelf spirits, (whatever shelf they are located on), another time, sooner rather than later.

I will absolutely recommend this venue to everyone, and I will definitely be rallying up some friends to come along and enjoy this niche experience.

Thank you for being here.

P.s I also enjoyed the sub-tropical rainforest bathroom. It's another dimension...

Kindest regards,

I love love love Rude Boy. I always have and I’ve had some great food and experiences at Rude Boy over the years. However, I went recently and I was disappointed. The food was good - chicken is always tasty and I could eat their mash potato forever. The cocktail menu was lacklustre…I seem to remember there being more options and the ones we ordered were average. Sadly, it was the service that let us down. The waiters seemed to want to move us on rather than let us enjoy ourselves and take our time. The wait staff didn’t have any enthusiasm which I can understand happens in hospitality but it didn’t make us want to stay longer anyway and it came across rude to us at times. They brought the food out and didn’t say which ones were the vegan chickens and which ones weren’t, which made it hard to figure out which was which in the dim room. I was surprised and disappointed as this has not been my experience in the past. Overall, I’ll always come back to Rude Boy, but where’s the...

Disappointing third visit... I visited last night with 4 of my friends to celebrate a 50th birthday. We felt very bad for the poor waiter who was having a very rough first day on the job and this review should not reflect badly in him because he was very sweet and apologetic. However...I was quite embarrassed by the poor service because I had recommended Rude Boy to my friends Our drinks order which was very uncomplicated took around 30 minutes to arrive. We had to ask a couple of times. Our food order which was made around 7.10 did not arrive until 8pm. Again we had to ask a couple of times. Our food did not all come out at the same time and one of my friends had to wait 10 minutes longer for hers... As I say it was quite disappointing and while Rude Boy is usually a great place for food and drinks with friends but Born in...
