Prince of Wales Hotel, Battery Point, Hobart

We decided on a pub meal and decided on the Prince of Wales in Battery Point, which is housed in a mid twentieth century building in the historic neighbourhood. 

Inside the décor was a combination of classic Aussie hotel mixed with some modern touches and a subdued palate. The restaurant area was fairly quiet on the Saturday we visited at around 6:30, the bar was busier though. The menu took a fairly traditional route to, with a couple of deviations.

The Tasmanian Scotch Fillet came a little bit over the medium requested, and the pepper sauce was fairly mild in flavour. The vegetables were good.

I had the Portobello Schnitzel, the mushroom was crumbed in Panko and Macadamia and was on the oily or greasy side but otherwise satisfying. It was served with a sweet mushroom relish which didn't quite work for me. The chips and salad ticked their respective boxes.

The bill came to $64.50 including a few drinks. The service was efficient and friendly. We both enjoyed our visit but would try different dishes if we visited again.
