The Salty Dog Hotel - Kingborough

Had an impromptu lunch here recently and was pleasantly surprisedThis eatery is always seems to be well patronised which is a good sign.

Fantastic dinnerGreat menu, catering fairly well for vegetariansMy service was great, very friendly and professional.

I have not been to Kingston Beach since 1969. Took my partner and child for a wander on the beautiful beach just 10 minutes from Hobart and came across this little pub/eatery. The joint was pumping with a Kids party out the back, the restaurant was pumping, the view was great, the pale ale on tap best I've had - we stayed for two peaceful hours having a few drinks and soaking in the atmosphere.This was an old pub that's had a refurb, all I can say is lucky locals. This would be a top spot for a summer holiday with the kids.

We had a choice of 2 kinds of meals - regular menu or pasta night. You eat in a different room depending on your choice, for some reason. The bolognese pasta was pretty good, and the iceberg lettuce salad with pears and walnuts was good, if you like iceberg lettuce. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and let us use their internet for free.

Salty dog is a really interesting place for lunch or dinner. It has a share roast plate, which is lamb or beef or pork or chicken, and it has some fabulous mushrooms. It also has really nice steaks. The atmosphere is Neapolitan, and the service is quite quick and good.We found the wine list quite credible, and the alcoholic ginger beer was a highlight.Overall the meals aren't that expensive but the quality was very high.The fish which I had was striped trumpeter, which is relatively hard to find in Australia and quite delicious.Salty dog is recommended for lunch or dinner.
