We bought a Groupon for this hotel and decided to try this fancy place out. The 4 of us were greeted by the hustling environment and the complexity of the place. On first arrival, we were directed to the back of the hotel, where the nice dining area was set up (the front part of the hotel is the pub area). We were the first to arrive, however, by the end of the night, the area was filled with local families and other groups who were meeting up over dinner.
I ordered the calamari for entre. The calamari was cooked to the perfect crispiness and I was sad the serving size wasnt bigger- I could have eaten many more calamari as my main! The gluten free Roasted Duck Breast caught my eye as a main and I also tried the T-bone. The serving size wasnt very big, however, the food was delicious. The Duck breast was cooked extremely well and the topping was thin and crispy, a great addition. The sauce accompanied the duck breast perfectly. I was really happy with my choice of main.
Whilst I forgot the names of the 2 desserts we ordered, the pear, cream and crumble in one of them was AMAZING. I was so tempted to order another one, it was just that good. For me, that dessert was a 11/10. Delicious! The other dessert (the one in a cup in the below photo) was average to me. It consisted of meringue with some berries- strawberries and raspberries- a 6/10.
The only let down was the waiting time and perhaps the serving sizes could have been bigger as I left feeling as if I could still eat more.
Overall, having the groupon meant the meal was great value for money. However, I wouldnt pay normal prices for the dishes at this place.
Nearly a full house on a cold Tuesday night in the restaurant located at the back of this hotel. The 4 of us shared polenta chips, fish croquettes and tender calamari for starters. After a one hour wait for the mains to be served, we all enjoyed the eye fillet ( the diced potato it is served with is more like a room temperature potato salad ), ravioli with pumpkin in sage butter, and grilled tuna with a room temperature ratatouille style of thinly sliced red and green sweet capsicum on top. More points if the veggies were served hot. The anchovy crisp was a lovely crunchy element to this dish. The chocolate lava pudding for dessert was delicious.
We sat down for all three courses for 3 and a bit hours. Service time is very very slow. Food was good. Make sure you know your order before the menu is even set down. Waited for the menu for 15 min then an extra 20 to take down our order. Nice looking restaurant
It was pure luck that allowed us to stumble upon this hidden gem. The Kingston is the whole package, impeccable service and delicious food. Highly recommended:)
What a lovely old pub! And such a beautiful dining room out the back. I had the brisket with sweet and sour salad. Loved the salad, but found the brisket a little tough as compared to my sons brilliant BBQing technique. For mains I had the pumpkin ravioli which was sublime. So rich I was unable to eat it all, but boy was I feeling happy. Staff were lovely, atmosphere great. The only downside was that our meals took a very long time to come out.
the pumpkin pasta was an absolute hit! the steak was average and the duck was a no for me. long 25 min wait for the chocolate fondant but definitely worth it! very rich and fudgy and had come straight out of the oven !
Awesome traditional style hotel with a gastro pub menu. I ordered the tuna steak with pepperonata and the green salad as a side. The tuna steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. The side salad was simple but generous. They may have been a little heavy handed with the dressing but not excessively so. Will definitely be back to try the steak night special- $15 is a bargain and the steaks looks phenomenal.
