Steel your way in

Two girlfrends and I decided to catch up after work or a drink one day.  I suggested going to this new bar and restaurant which opened not too long ago.  This new establishment is situated behind Wynyard station on York Street and it's where the old Tasmania Tourism used to be.

I thought that it was a great use of the space.  Very well designed and the balcony area was warm and inviting.  We started by having cocktails at the bar / outside balcony.  It is decked out with comfy chairs overlooking heritage buildings.  Must say it was a good place to have cocktails. 

After two cocktails, we decided to adjourn to the restaurant.  The restaurant is open plan, with steel panelling.  Great to see the kitchen and the 3000 bottles of wine lining the walls.  There were quite a few people there for dinner on a Tuesday night.

The menu is quite varied, and one which I wuld consider more Ausralian fare.  One is able to pick and choose and to share.  We had scallops to start with and steaks for main.  Both main courses were cooked very well and it was very tasty.  Alas, we were too full to fit in dessert.

We had to dash to the bathroom and boy...  so steely and dark, the doors were very heavy due to the steel panelling and there were screens above the taps which was showing Sex and the City movie... hmm... says something about having a bar and restaurant in the middle of the city.

Must say they have a good wine selection too...

All in all... would recommend this place.  The restaurant had a good feel to it, nice ambience, we had a lot of fun talking and laughing that we were the last ones to leave...
