Cape Grim Grill & Kauri Bistro

We had the half shelf scallops, the lamb shoulders and the 450gm cape grim beef ribeye. The scallops are fantastic. The lamb shoulders dish can be more flavorful. The cape grim beef dish was awesome.

Lovely food and service. The meals are very pricey but are high quality. You are paying for the convenience of being able to eat at your accommodation. The Lamb Yiros pizza was really good, would definitely recommend, particularly as it was one of the less expensive items on the menu.

very disappointed in the $67 dollar steak I had ordered, I normally am not fussy at all with food, I came here with the expectations of this being the home of the cape grim steak and I was served with a very tiny peice of meat with a bland salad, would be fair to pay $30 or$35 for this meal but not there so called 450gram rib eye, very very disappointing

Very bland salad. Tiny serve of sauce. Cold rare and partly raw steak. I'd imagine a place claiming to specialise in Cape grim beef would have the steaks on point. Left feeling hungry and disappointed.

Absolutely appalling, walked into a half full restaurant on a Saturday night only to be turned away because they were only taking guests at the hotel which wasn’t stated on the website and there wasn’t any signage stating so either, otherwise we wouldn’t of made the drive out. The staff also weren’t very welcoming either. Very poor form as there isn’t many other places to eat.

This would be a 5 star review had the order gone in correctly.My husband ordered a takeaway pizza and for some reason a time was entered on it for 1 hour and 20 minutes later than he ordered it. This extraordinarily long wait became quite an ordeal with 2 tired and hungry little ones.The pizza itself though was one of the best we’ve had - full of flavour and the right amount of toppings. It was a lamb pizza and really delicious.It would be great if there was an option to do my own ordering through an app or website for takeaway.

My steak took 3 goes to cook and even then it wasn't right. My husband's steak was also over cooked but he doesn't like sending food back so just ate it anyway. For the price they charged ($65 for the rib eye) I was very underwhelmed. The manager provided a discount given the experience we had with the cooking of our steak which was nice but I was still disappointed with the experience.

Just had dinner at Kauri Bistro tonight (20/9) and I could not wait to write this review as I am extremely disappointed.We were expecting a wonderful dinner after checking the menu. The price is way over the top however it’s understandable considering the location.We made a booking for 6pm and we were quickly seated which was a good start. It all went downhill from here. We waited for 10 minutes before I suspected who was the food and beverage manager came back to the table, we asked for a drinks menu and being told they don’t have drinks menu at the restaurant, the ladies at the bar will come and take your drink order. By this point I was thinking about walking out but we stayed.The table next to us overheard and gave us a wine list that was supposedly non-existing. After 10 more minutes, the waitress came with a trainee to take our order. When I said I wanted a bottle of red she barked out “food only” to us which was very abrupt. She took the food order before another lady came and get our drinks. I noticed there was price difference between the special board and wine list and she was quick and responded it would be the special price.In comes our entrée, we shared a small prawn and bacon pizza which was delicious even though the prawns were frozen shrimps yet still understandable.After two slices in, next table finished their entrée and the waitress called the wrong table. So as we picked up our third slices of pizza, our main courses came out. The food and beverage manager said, “ oh I was told your table is ready for main, I can put these under the heat lamp if you like.” Yeah no thanks…I ordered the pork belly with abalone and hang on if you look at the photos there were Tassie scallops but no abalone. I called the manager to the table and her response was, “oh did they not tell you we ran out of abalone so we replaced them with Tasmanian scallops?” No they did not. I asked her if there’s price difference due to this change and she said no. The pork has no crackling and bland.The other main course was Chef’s pasta with crayfish, prawns, salmon and scallops. There was no sight of crayfish so we called the manager again. This time she sent the trainee to our table to deal with it and the trainee went back to her to get a response which she told us that the crayfish was in the purée for the pasta sauce. Well…fair enough people do do that but it tasted nothing like crayfish and had absolutely no shellfish flavour whatsoever and also very bland.I wish we actually did walk out the door before ordering cause it was that disappointing. I’m writing this review while I’m eating leftover roast chicken from Woolworths and still find it tastes better than our dinner.Surprisingly, every other tables seem to have enjoyed their dinner……I do not recommend this restaurant at all. If you are staying here maybe order from bar menu cause they look really good. However looking at the food we ordered they look pretty good too…
