The Long Boat Tavern — Restaurant in Tasmania

We felt very unwelcome at this place. ( except for the young man. He was lovely. I’d like to thank him for his service )

We were given a $75 credit to use here due to a problem with our stay at the motel. We were taken to an empty room with no one around.

When we went to the bar to order drinks the lady mentioned the credit twice.

We then ordered the entree and mains. Another mention about the credit…

The entree came out after about 20min. 5 min later the mains came out. We were no where near done with the entree.

We had ordered 2 fisherman’s baskets and the nachos. The fish was nice and fresh and the batter was good. The chips were awful. The nachos were undercooked and the guacamole was brown. ( see photo )Halfway through the meal the lady came up to us with the final receipt for me to sign for the credit. Charging the remaining to our room. We still wanted to order desserts, but we felt they wanted us out of there. So we left and walked to Sealife cafe for our desserts. Do your self a favour and go to...

Went to order and was so disorganised it took 15 minutes plus standing in a line. Some people simply walked out. Food arrived and was terrible. Father in laws parmi had been reheated and was dry and cheese plastic. Wife’s curry tasted okay but had only 6 thumbnail size pieces of meat. I ordered the ‘house special’ fettuccine and meatballs. Disgusting. 7 X 20 cent size meatballs that were tasteless and dry and still had the flat edges from the bulk packet they came from. Fettuccine was heavy and dark coloured and sauce was terrible. Was basically jar tomato paste that was luke warm. Hardly any Parmesan on top. Left 3/4 of meal on plate, father in law left half his meal. Cost $25 a meal for pre cooked package food. Have been in Bicheno for 17 years and it has never been this bad....

If I could give zero stars, I would.

Had an extremely disappointing experience at the Long Boat Tavern. First off, we were charged for a meal we didn’t even order – no apology, no explanation.

I ordered a steak and clearly asked for vegetables instead of chips and salad – not once, but multiple times. It still came out wrong. On top of that, the steak was overcooked and ridiculously small for the $36 price tag.

The burger was dry, the chips were soggy, and the Aussie parmigiana was so dry it literally stuck to your teeth – almost impossible to swallow. The gravy? Watered down and completely flavourless.

Absolutely nothing about these meals were worth the money. I won’t be back, and I wouldn’t recommend this...
